Live 1967 is a live album by the American pop rock band the Monkees, released in 1987 by Rhino Records. The album was compiled from show dates in Seattle, Portland and Spokane on their 1967 United States tour. The songs mostly feature the Monkees themselves singing and playing, although the "solo spots" for each member feature music by opening act the Sundowners.
In 2001, Rhino Handmade released all recordings from these shows—as well as a date in Mobile, Alabama—as a limited edition CD: Summer 1967: The Complete U.S. Concert Recordings.
During these dates, Davy Jones and Kim Capli of the Sundowners went by themselves to a local recording studio to make "Hard to Believe", which was included on the Monkees' album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones, Ltd. (1967).[citation needed]
