They sang all of the beloved Monkees classics including “Last Train to Clarksville,” “A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “Daydream Believer” and “I’m a Believer.”

In this concert, both Nesmith and Dolenz honored the memory of their late band-mate, Pete Tork, who played bass guitar and keyboards for the band. Tork passed away a few weeks prior, on February 21, 2019.

Prior to the concert, the venue’s management and staff surprised Dolenz with a carrot cake to celebrate this joyous occasion, as they sang “Happy Birthday” to him.
