You might have thought that the deaths of half its members might prevent any band from continuing to produce music--especially a concert CD featuring performances from the remaining performers.
And, of course, you'd be wrong.
The Monkees Live: The Mike & Micky Show is, as the title implies, a live performance of the band's greatest hits by its two surviving members, Mike Nesmith and Micky Dolenz. (Davy Jones died in 2006, Peter Tork in 2017.)
Both are in fine voice, if a little rougher than they were 50 years ago (then again, who isn't?), and they tour briskly through their catalog, including most of their hits ("Last Train to Clarksville," "Mary, Mary," "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You," etc.) and a few lesser known numbers, like "Circle Sky" and "Goin' Down."
On a warm summer evening, in the cool of the living room air conditioner and spinning on my laptop's CD-ROM drive, The Mike & Micky Show went down as smooth as a margarita served on a sunny patio. (Note to self: Get to an appropriately socially distanced patio and have a margarita before summer ends.)
