The Monkees

In January 2002, The Monkees were in the midst of a revival phase, actively touring and performing hits from their extensive catalog. This live recording of "Going Down," which showcases Micky Dolenz's standout vocals, occurred during their 2002 Summer Tour—long after the band's initial surge in the 1960s. Prior to this live performance, their latest studio album was "Justus," released in 1996, which marked their first album to feature all four original members since the 1960s. They had also released "Good Times!" in 2016, which included tracks from contemporary songwriters. The performance not only reflects their enduring appeal but also pays homage to their rich musical legacy, particularly after the passing of key members like Davy Jones and Peter Tork. The live setting allowed them to connect with fans while celebrating their hits and lesser-known tracks like "Going Down."
