I just saw a video of the Monkees "I'm a Believer" from 1966.
Wouldn't you know it? On the video Dolenz played it open handed.
They were acting to the song, not really playing it, and I'm pretty sure it was Hal Blaine who actually recorded the drum tracks, but I thought it was pretty curious to see an example of open handed playing in 1966. Anyone have any earlier examples?
I know he was hired as an actor, but he learned the drums well enough to play live dates as I understand.
The Monkees were put on the same bill as Jimi Hendrix once, supposedly it was a disaster, did anybody here happen to catch that show?
