air jordan 13 xiii Micky Dolenz at Warner Park 8-

Micky Dolenz performed at Warner Park in Woodland Hills on Sunday, August 29, 2010. This was the final concert in the Concerts On The Green series for 2010. This series is put on by The Valley Cultural Center.
The concert start just before 6 with a short opening set by Wooley & Godwin. They did mostly covers, like "Three Little Birds" and "Penny Lane," and one original tune titled "Sadie." Micky Dolenz took the stage at approximately 6:50 class="dynamic">"That Was Then, This Is Now"
The band came out first, and did a short instrumental version of "Theme From The Monkees." When Micky stepped out [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they went into "That Was Then, This Is Now," which is a song The Monkees started performing in the 1980s. It was included on a greatest hits compilations called, Then & Now: The Best Of The Monkees (that album also included their version of "Kicks").

Between Coco's two turns at lead vocals [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Micky sang "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" and "Goin' Down." "Goin' Down" was one of the highlights of the concert. It's a seriously fun song, with rapid-fire vocal delivery by Micky. And this rendition was phenomenal.
The band went straight into "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You," a song written by Neil Diamond. And then into "She" and "Words" and the pretty "Sometime In The Morning," one right after the other. But after those first few songs, Micky added stories and lots of stage banter between songs.
Micky talked about how Jimi Hendrix opened for The Monkees on their first tour. This is an old story, but it seemed a surprising number of audience members weren't aware of this. Micky then played Jimi Hendix's "Purple Haze."
Micky Dolenz has recorded a new album, titled King For A Day [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in which he covers Carole King songs. From this upcoming release, he played "Crying In The Rain," a song originally recorded by The Everly Brothers. (King For A Day is scheduled to be released Tuesday, August 31, 2010.)
After covering The Beatles' "Oh! Darling," Micky tossed the towel he'd been using into the audience. He followed that by throwing out some T-shirts. Predictably, the crowd surged forward, stepping over each other for a chance to
Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix
Before "Last Train To Clarksville," Micky talked about living on Reseda Blvd. (which is fairly close to Warner Park) when he went on the audition for The Monkees. He introduced the song by saying, "Here's the one that started it all." What was really wonderful was that Micky played acoustic guitar on this song, as well as several other songs.

One of the surprises in the set was "Johnny B. Goode," the Chuck Berry song. But the song's inclusion in the set list makes sense, as Micky explained, "This is the song that got me the gig. This was my audition piece." He was referring, of course, to his audition for the television program The Monkees.

Micky's sister Coco sang lead on two songs. The first was a song written by Michael Nesmith called "Different Drum," which of course was a giant hit for The Stone Poneys. The second song Coco sang was Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit." Coco has an amazing voice. She can belt out a song like nobody's business.
