THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Flashback: That Time Dana & I Went To See The Monkees

For as little as $2 a month, paid subscribers to Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks) receive a bonus private post each month. February's bonus post will be a Virtual Ticket Stub Gallery piece on The Monkees live in 2012. In the mean time, here's the This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio playlist from the week after that show.

Wanna read what it was like for us to see Micky, Peter, and Michael in 2012? Fund me, baby!



On Sunday, November 18th, Dana & I decided to bag our little mutant radio show for a week, choosing instead to travel to Buffalo for a live concert by THE MONKEES.  It was a good decision, and it was--seriously--one of the best concerts I've ever seen.  One week later, This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio celebrated with a Monkees Concert Playback, playing back all of the songs, in sequence, that we'd heard The Monkees play in Buffalo.  What a show.  What a great, GREAT show.

Back on the radio, we also found time for fab new music from KELLEY RYAN and WRECKLESS ERIC & AMY RIGBY, a commemoration of the 44th anniversary of THE BEATLES' White Album, and a commemoration of the 35th anniversary of my first spin of the record that changed my life, "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" by THE RAMONES.  And we played THE MONKEES!  We will ALWAYS play The Monkees.  And this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
