“ALL FOUR TOGETHER AGAIN” — A DREAM ONLY FANS COULD BUILD
There are moments in life we never get back.
And then… there are moments we never truly had — but still somehow live in our hearts as if they happened.
The Monkees were more than a band. To many of us, they were joy in motion: four mismatched souls who found magic in melody, mischief, and an unbreakable bond that made the world laugh, sing, and believe. We followed them through television screens and vinyl grooves, watched them grow older, drift apart, reunite, and — heartbreakingly — say goodbye. One by one, the stage grew quieter. Davy Jones left us in 2012. Peter Tork followed in 2019. Then Michael Nesmith in 2021.
And yet, somehow, they’re all back again.
Not in body, no. But in spirit — in memory — and in a fan-made video that does something extraordinary. Titled “All Four Together Again,” this tribute doesn’t rewrite history. It doesn’t fake what never was. Instead, it pieces together real, fragile moments from two separate nights at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles — July 16, 2011 (with Davy, Micky & Peter) and November 10, 2012 (with Mike, Micky & Peter) — and stitches them into something that feels almost too tender to be possible: an evening where all four Monkees share the same stage one final time.
It’s not seamless. You can still see the lines between years, the differences in light and sound. But somehow, that makes it more powerful — because this isn’t about perfection. It’s about love. It’s about fans who never stopped believing that music, when carried by memory, can outlive anything.
As you watch, you don’t just see four men onstage. You see decades of laughter, of backstage jokes, of harmonies sung shoulder to shoulder. You see Davy grinning through a pop tune, Peter closing his eyes over a quiet bassline, Mike strumming with that offhand genius, and Micky—always Micky—bridging them all with his voice and heart.
There are moments when the illusion feels real enough to hurt.
And moments when it heals something you didn’t know was broken.
Because for many of us, The Monkees weren’t just part of the ‘60s. They were part of our childhoods, our record collections, our road trips, our rainy Sunday afternoons. And when they left, a piece of us left with them.
But this tribute?
This is a way of saying: We remember. We still care. We still hear you.
It may be fan-edited, but it’s built with the kind of care that only comes from grief, from love, and from the ache of wanting just one more song.
And in that way, “All Four Together Again” becomes more than a video.
It becomes a memory that never was — and a gift we didn’t know we needed.
For thirty minutes, time folds in on itself.
And just like that… the boys are back.
