"Daydream Believer" as filmed by PBS at Benedum Theatre in Pittsburgh PA w/Davy Jones, Jessica Pacheco, me, and members of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra—this clip has been re-broadcasted many times since 2011. For me this was an auspicious occasion on several counts--including that, for the first time, I played guitar on songs that I usually played bass or keyboards on. The complete set can be heard as as a VIP-only album on [ Ссылка ]. This set was broadcast only one time and consisted of:
Daydream Believer
Little Bit Me, Little Bit You
Valleri
Girl
+ I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone in a cameo appearance with Paul Revere & the Raiders. Before everyone went onstage, Paul asked me to nudge Davy into joining them as both The Monkees and The Raiders have a connection to that song. Davy balked at first but he finally caved in. Elsewhere on this shoot (we were there 2 days) was Roger McGuinn, The Miracles (the classic line-up minus Smokey Robinson), and Gary Lewis & The Playboys w/my friend, drummer Mike Arturi. Also, I was blessed to spend time with Jackie DeShannon (who MC'd) and Chad & Jeremy. The project was produced for PBS by Jim Pierson. PS: I cannot remember the name of the 4-piece vocal group who joined us (great guys). I should also add that Davy bought me the blue tie I wore onstage--he said it "went with my guitar."
