Product Description
From Amazon.com
They enter like a Vegas nostalgia act, but these Monkees don't monkey around. Live Summer Tour captures Mickey Dolenz, Davey Jones, and Peter Tork in high spirits, still going strong 35 years after they (along with absentee Michael Nesmith) were assembled as TV's infamous "Prefab Four." They're backed by a solid band, but this performance proves that the Monkees were always a legitimate pop ensemble. Peter plays guitar, keyboards, and banjo with equal facility (his vocals remain charmingly average); Mickey's a decent drummer (and "Goin' Down" is still his vocal dazzler); and Davey drives the little girls (now middle-aged) into a fond teen-idol reverie. Recorded in summer 2001, this hour-long set is surprisingly polished, blending pop rockers ("She Hangs Out") with ballads ("Daydream Believer") and even a bit of Monkees psychedelia ("Randy Scouse Git"). The comedic chemistry is still there, too, making this a lively set capped by "Pleasant Valley Sunday," still the greatest song ever written about the perils of suburbia. --Jeff Shannon

Great, but Could be better,
By Fritosgirl (Here, There, and Everywhere...) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monkees, the Live Summer (DVD)
This DVD is great, but edited! Half of the songs were left out. Because of that, King Biscuit is going to offer an EXTENDED AND UNCUT VERSION of this concert that include, well, everything!This DVD, however, is wonderful for those not so die hard fans. Davy, Micky, and Peter are right on the mark with the songs and it's great to sing to.

What We Did Get Was Great, But...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Monkees, the Live Summer (DVD)
I was so happy to finally get this DVD in my hands & I was not let down with what we got. The Monkees put on an EXCELLENT show & the DVD featured a lot of great shots. However, I was let down with what we didn't get. About an hour of the concert was cut out of this DVD & so many songs were missing. Luckily, pre-orders are now being taken by King Biscuit Entertainment at their official site for a limited edition extended & uncut DVD. If you liked this DVD or are considering buying it, I would recommend trying to get the uncut version. But, if they're no longer available, this DVD will do just fine.

Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones have no "E" in their first names.
