Concert

Anyone who knows me knows that I love oldies music.  My favorite band since I was a child has always been the Monkees.  I love the TV series and the music and have the chance to meet and see their shows many times over the last 20 plus years.  Seeing them my first time back in the 1980’s.  One thing I’ve noticed with the shows over the years is that it started to fall into the same jokes and layout.  While I enjoyed the show it rarely felt new to me.  In 2011 I went to the Detroit Monkees Concert and it had a bit more of an upbeat with some different layout including video in the background.  Little did I know that would be the last time I would see Davy Jones. 

As a child I did not listen to the radio very often.  When I would hear music, it would be records or tapes of the other things my family enjoyed.  The music I heard most was The Monkees, a band from the 1960s which was created for a TV show starring Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith.  This became my favorite music growing up.

It’s not often I go to concerts, but when I do go, I prefer to go to concerts that I thought I would never have gotten a chance to ever see. There are not a lot of concerts in the area I live that just draw me in to spend $50 or more per ticket.
