Jan 2017

It was the 1986 "package tour" for the Monkees (minus Nesmith) tour.

"Grass Roots" (only singer Rob Grill, using the Monkees backing band) plus "Herman's Hermits" (guitarist "Lek" Lekenby from the original band and that was it...son't remember who handled vocals or if any of the Monkees backup band pitched in).
