Mike Nesmith was back with The Monkees on Friday night and this time on stage.
The legendary Monkees guitarist performed with the band via Skype in June but this time he was there in the flesh, joining the band for the four songs in the encore for the fans in Monterey, California.
Mike performed ‘Circle Sky’, ‘Papa Gene’s Blues’, ‘What Am I Doing Hangin’ Around’ and ‘I’m A Believer’ with the band.
