Title: Was there ever a Lennon/Nesmith collaboration?
Post by: Wayne L. on May 23, 2004, 12:56:42 PM

I know about Mike Nesmith of the Monkees being in the A Day In The Life video which I have seen along with him staying with John for a few days back in 67 but I would like to know if there was a Lennon/Nesmith music collaboration on any Beatles/Monkees bootlegs because it would interesting to listen to since both of them were the rebels of their respective groups in those days with their music & their attitude despite one being manufactured.

I'm not aware of any such collaboration. I presume that Nesmith did jam with John when he stayed with him in 1967 though.

Yes.  Mike Nesmith gave birth to Johns baby, 'John-Boy'.  It was kept hushed for all the obvious reasons.

Interesting idea, tho. I wonder who else might have "collaborated" with the Beatles during those times...

Would have loved to have seen Buddy Holly jam with them...or Roy O and his big falsetto on A Fool on the Hill....

 Very possible but John never mentioned anything of a collaboration nor has Mike. I know John played alot of songs from Sgt. Peppers to Mike because the Beatles were stilll making the album during Mikes stay.
