The first concerts of the 1968 Japanese tour took place in Tokyo on October 3 and 4 where The Monkees played at Budokan Hall. 🎸

“Of all four Monkees, Peter’s onscreen persona was the least like his real self. The ‘dumb’ (albeit bighearted) Monkee is actually soft-spoken and a bit on the philosophical side with a dry sense of humor. He *thinks* about every word he says.” - Bill Holdship, Creem Presents… The Monkees (1987)

“‘…for me finally the point of the movie is the Monkees never get out,’ […] So how would a Peter Tork cut of Head end? ‘There might have been a scene where we get out,’ he says wistfully. ‘We jump in the water and get away.’” - The Guardian (2011) More at www.instagram.com/p/DPWoCfxjCl....
