.toddrundgren & TheMickyDolenz1 are teasing their White Album covers tour
are both aware there's a bit of irony in having a Monkee be part of a Beatles tribute tour. But Dolenz is confident audiences will know he's not monkeying around when the new tour It Was Fifty Years Ago Today Tour 2019: A Tribute to The Beatles White Album hits the road on Sept. 21 in Atlantic City, NJ.
"There was actually a very good relationship between and us," Dolenz tells Billboard. He has warm memories, in fact, of attending recording sessions for at Abbey Road studios and hanging out with John Lennon and Ringo Starr in Los Angeles during the early '70s -- with the latter as part of the famed Hollywood Vampires softball team/drinking club. "I put that down to the fact that the Beatles got it.
Besides Dolenz and Rundgren, It Was Fifty Years Ago Today includes Badfinger alumnus Joey Molland, former Chicago bassist Jason Scheff and Christopher Cross, while Gil Assayas, who was part of Rundgren's 2018 Utopia reunion tour, will play keyboards. The vocalists will also be playing some of their own hits and have divided up the individual songs from -- or "fave raves" as Dolenz calls them -- with Rundgren getting "the kind of fringe material, which is fine with me.
Dolenz isn't giving away his selections yet and will only say "I'm very happy with what I ended up with." His own view of The White Album meanwhile, is it "was pretty unique in many ways. It was very diversified, as you know, so it's hard to say. There was so much good stuff. Frankly I was just always a big Beatles fan. I loved every album and listened to them religiously.
Fifty Years Ago Today has two legs, an east coast run that wraps Oct. 20 and another week of dates during December. Dolenz, who toured earlier this year with Monkees mate Michael Nesmith, will return to doing his own shows as well as to his boutique furniture business.
