Well, technically 1969, but not on this date Fiendish Thingy Dec 2022 #3

Many of us quit the Monkees before 1969. Sneederbunk Dec 2022 #4

The Monkees show didn’t even premiere until fall 1966.

Tork’s last project with the Monkees was the TV special, 33 & 1/3 Revolutions per Monkee, broadcast in April 1969, but I believe filmed in late 1968. After that broadcast, Jones, Dolenz and Nesmith performed as a trio for another year.
