'Monkees' star Peter Tork dead at 77

Peter was always my favorite Monkee. May you rest in peace, Peter.

Oh man, I just missed Hendrix. I saw the Monkees in 1967 at the Buffalo, NY Memorial Auditorium. Your comment got me looking up the dates of that tour, and it looks like the last one Hendrix played with them was the one just before Buffalo. (I have no recollection of whatever opening act I must have seen. I was 11 years old, and my dad brought home the tickets as a surprise to me. Just he and I went together—I was sort of mortified to be there with my dad, but there were lots of other young girls there with their parents so it wasn’t actually that weird. We had seats on the floor, and everyone was standing on their chairs, so you couldn’t see the stage unless you stood on your chair too, so my dad and I stood on our chairs too. And everyone was screaming—so my dad screamed too!)
