The Monkees, including Thomas Jefferson High School grad Michael Nesmith and Micky Dolenz, will play a concert April 16 at 8 p.m. at the Majestic. Their 2020 tour kicks off April 3 in Vancouver, the same day that their new live album “The Mike and Micky Show” arrives in stores. Watch them perform “Last Train to Clarksville” from the new album here. The song, which was recorded on the band’s 2019 tour, and features “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “I’m a Believer,” “You Told Me,” “Circle Sky” and “As We Go Along.”
The duo hit the road last year after the death of Peter Tork. At the end of the tour Nesmith wrote on Facebook. “I start to feel curmudgeonly more and more and less and less suited for singing pop songs — clever and happy and fun to play as they are — but is a bit like singing ‘Happy Birthday’ over and over… the shows wear me down.” But he sounded more upbeat when he spoke to Rolling Stone in December. “I have tried to take the advice of people that care about me that said, ‘Don’t be such a crank’ or ‘Don’t be such an asshole,’” he said. “Mick and I are in fine fiddle and fine form and fine voice and everything.”
