During one point, the band went quiet and a recording of Jones singing "I Wanna Be Free" played while footage of him was screening behind the band. For Jones's signature song, "Daydream Believer", Dolenz said that the band had discussed who should sing the song and had concluded that it should be the fans, saying "It doesn't belong to us anymore. It belongs to you."<ref name=RSkickoff>{{cite news | first = Peter | last = Holslin | title = Monkees Delight Believers in Reunion Tour Kickoff | magazine = Rolling Stone | date = November 9, 2012 | url = https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/monkees-delight-believers-in-reunion-tour-kickoff-20121109 | access-date = November 12, 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121111222230/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/monkees-delight-believers-in-reunion-tour-kickoff-20121109 | archive-date = November 11, 2012 | url-status = live }}</ref>

The fall 2012 tour was very well received by both fans and critics, resulting in the band's scheduling a 24-date summer tour for 2013. Dubbed "A Midsummer's Night with the Monkees", the concerts also featured Nesmith, Dolenz, and Tork. "The reaction to the last tour was euphoric", Dolenz told ''Rolling Stone'' magazine. "It was pretty apparent there was a demand for another one."<ref name=RS2013tour>{{cite news | first = Andy | last = Greene | title = The Monkees Reveal U.S. Summer Tour Dates | magazine = Rolling Stone | date = April 29, 2013 | url = https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-monkees-reveal-u-s-summer-tour-dates-20130429 | access-date = May 2, 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130502002238/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-monkees-reveal-u-s-summer-tour-dates-20130429 | archive-date = May 2, 2013 | url-status = live }}</ref> A third tour with Nesmith followed in 2014.
