This sold-out tour featured Micky joining Davy and Peter in Australia for the first time since Davy and Peter had started touring there as a duo in 1986. The trio celebrated the 20th anniversary of their ultra successful 1968 trip to Australia.  A new backing band, minus the horns, supported the three Monkees.  For the most part, Micky played drums on the songs he didn’t sing the lead vocal, while Peter stuck mainly to electric guitar and banjo, and Davy played his usual tambourine parts. One of the concerts was filmed and later released by Davy’s promotional company, Dome Press, in 1989.

The only other concert appearance made by the trio this year was on August 20, 1988 in Chicago, Illinois at the Vic Theatre.  A Peter Tork solo show was the highlight of a Monkees convention being held in Chicago, and Micky and Davy joined Peter during the encore to sing “I’m A Believer” and “Daydream Believer.”
