I saw the red hot chili peppers open for the monkees in the mid 80's at the Greek theater in LA. There encores included a Hendrix tune. The band finished the set with sock puppets on their junk . The teen girls behind us were screaming for them to get off the stage. We got kicked out during the monkees finale because we kept moving seats. One of my claims to fame....got kicked out of aMonkees show.

Hendrix opened for the Monkees on tour, before moving to England. He came back with the soft machine (but no Daevid Allen) opening for him on tour.

Teen girls in the 80s, screaming for the Monkees? I don’t remember most of my female peers even knowing who they were then, never mind getting that worked up about them.
