With reports of a "New Monkees' formation for the Millennium, this CD gives a wonderful opportunity
to check out remaining members of the original band performing live in 2001.
Predictably, the group stay in time-bubble territory with a run-through their enviable hit-list, and songs like 'Last
Train To Clarkville', 'Daydream Believer' and 'I'm A Believer' will nudge the conscience of those of a certain age.
In the days before 'Pop Idol' this is how 'manufactured pop' appeared in 1967. Although put together for a zany TV show
as an American answer to The Beatles, The Monkees actually captured a wider audience and produced some of the best pop music
of their generation.
