The Monkees Present: The Mike Nesmith & Micky Dolenz Show June 14

"The Mike and Micky Show" is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see them as a duo and it's Thursday night at the Copernicus Center in Chicago.

This Thursday night at 7:30 it's "The Mike Nesmith & Micky Dolenz Show" featuring two of "The Monkees" at the Copernicus Center in Chicago, and despite being a group for over 50 years - this is their first national tour as a duo.

Mike says via press release: "I love being on stage with Micky...We’ve been collaborating for over 50 years, so it’s hard to believe it’s never been just the two of us. I’m excited to dust off some tunes that I haven’t played for a long time too. These are going to be some fun shows.” While Micky says: "Right from the get-go, I admired Mike's songs. When we used to get together around the campfire to sing in the early days, we were always doing his songs...We always had such a great a vocal blend; he was the one who encouraged me to write songs of my own. I've always been a big fan and now we finally get to do the Mike & Micky show that we riffed on back when we were shooting The Monkees."

“The Mike & Micky Show” is a current chapter in a saga that began in 1965 and this tour will feature songs that span the group’s entire career – from its 1966 debut to 2016’s Good Times. The shows will highlight many of Mike Nesmith’s songs, including some that have never been performed live.
