Musical Interlude: That Was Then, This is Now (1986)

 As The Monkees celebrated its 20th anniversary, with reruns airing on MTV 7 days a week, the band reformed and hit the road for an anniversary tour.

However, the first single off "Then & Now: The Best of The Monkees", released in 1986, "That Was Then, This is Now", has just half the foursome. Peter Tork is on guitar, and Micky Dolenz moves from behind the drum kit to sing lead. Davy Jones wasn't interested in playing on this particular track.

To appeal to the VH-1 audience, the video, airing on both VH-1 & MTV, mixes concert footage with archival clips & commercials, including snippets of legendary Ajax detergent & Oscar Mayer commercials.
