The
Who make their first US live appearance at The RKO 58th Street Theater in New
York City. Later this year, they'll
enjoy their first tour of America as the opening act for, of all people,
Herman's Hermits, before taking the stage, along with Jimi Hendrix and many
others, at The Monterey Pop Festival in June.
(Also on the bill that night at the RKO … Cream, who wouldn't have their
first big US hit until nearly a year later.
It was all part of a Murray The K concert extravaganza featuring a total
of six bands that ran over the 1967 Easter Weekend.)
After already topping the US charts for the past seven weeks, "More
Of The Monkees", The Monkees' second album, is finally released in the
UK. That evening Davy Jones appears on
The Miss Teen International Pageant, broadcast from The Hollywood Palladium on
ABC Television.
