The Monkees

[jeffie]

Now that would be a nice sunny Sunday afternoon experience.

[Badlands]

I f**king love the Monkees!!

Forget the fact they're a band created for the tellybox.... they had some of the best singles of the 60's.

Carole King, Neil Diamond, Harry Nilsson, Boyc & Hart..... some of their best tracks were given to them!!

Head is a headf**k of a film as well!!!

[Nixy]

Seriously? God that would be an EPIC Sunday afternoon singalong!

I have now officially had my first excited for Glasto 2011 moment, cheers dude

[ancient_one]

Reading the stories about this, it looks like it's early days as far as the planning goes - just a comment from Davey Jones - but yes, it would be a hell of a sunday singalong.

[DaveMac]

'Daydream Believer', 'Last train to Clarksville' and 'I'm a believer' on the Pyramid Oldie slot - I'm there !!!

Classic 60's pop band - would be perfect for Glastonbury !

[GlastoEls]

Would be brilliant - some of their 60s songs are brilliant. "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" is a regular on my iPod!

[theampersanddevil]

Yip, I'd love it too.

[scorp]

Probably the first manufactured [possibly in response to the Beatles' success in the US] boy band...but not bad for it. some very catchy numbers from back in the days. might be fun to see them @ glasto.

[Badlands]

Porpoise Song, The Girl that I Knew Somewhere, Pleasant Valley Sunday, Randy Scouse Git, She! In that order!!

[DiscoDolly]

Perfect for the sunday slot!

[Lozzcat]

I love the monkees. They would be fantastic Oh I really hope that they play.

[Vieuphoria]

i too would definatly be up for this =]

[ukdaasfan]

As one who has all the monkees albums on vinyl they wrote and good if very weird shit after the TV series.

[ukdaasfan]

Porpoise song is awesome....as is Tapioca Tundra....

[ramragon]

yeah, would appeal to me, havent seen any of the last 3 oldies slots but i wouldnt mind seeing them

[sonny]

I saw them in Wembley Arena a good few years ago, well Davey and Micky (apparently one of the others mooched off home becausde as a recovering alcoholic he couldnt handle the other 2 drinking)

Their harmonies were amazing, even the blokes that came with us just to take the mick couldnt believe their ears.

Mickey Dolenz even did a little bit of opera to prove they could actually sing.

One of the best gigs Ive ever been too, manufactured or not.

[JimOfTheJungle]

+1 would love this.

[StormCrow]

I've just done a little wee with excitement

First album I ever bought was the Monkeys in 68 or 69.

[grumpyhack]

Hey, Hey that would be fun! Mike Nesmith did some decent non Monkees stuff too with the First National Band.

[Clareno7]

Went to see them in Birmingham a few years back with my daugher and father....my daughter was about 8 so must have been 10 years ago. She knows all the words! Would be great as my dad is working as a masseuse at the festival this year and they were his no. 1 band when he was young

If this does happen...see you all at the usual/traditional Efests Sunday meet up spot!

For those who are not aware of this spot, its on the left side of the (4th) speaker stack on the far right of the field (if looking at the stage). The one nearest the Mandela Bar. Does that makes sense? Couldnt find a decent pic to demonstrate.

I was secretly hoping Neil Diamond would return to Glastonbury- but The Monkees would be brilliant
