The tour began after the May release of the band's third album, Headquarters (1967), and the bulk of the material was culled from that album, in addition to their biggest singles from the first album, The Monkees (1966), and second album, More of the Monkees (1967). There were also a quartet of cover songs, with each of the Monkees choosing one to perform with their opening act, the Sundowners.

The set list for each CD is identical, as the band performed the same group of songs in order at each show.
