The Monkees “Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again?” live 2011 (enhanced & remastered)

I found this full footage (no cuts) phone video of us doing this high-energy song on the American wing of the 2011 Monkees tour. At this point the band was pretty tight and locked in, and Peter Tork's vocals cut through the mix with power! This was one of my favorites to play, and the jazzier parts were a challenge. Peter wrote the song, and I used to joke with him, "Hey, it's that Quicksilver Messenger song you wrote" (Stephen Stills played guitar on the original recording). This song underlined the vibrant psychedelic tone of HEAD, the 1968 film that deconstructed and reinvented The Monkees. It’s a trippy souvenir of the times.
