The Monkees

In January 1986, The Monkees were in the midst of a successful resurgence, bolstered by their inclusion in the popular MTV network. This live recording of "I'm a Believer" highlights their enduring appeal, showcasing the group during a concert that celebrated their legacy. Leading up to this performance, their most recent studio album was "Pool It!" released in 1987, marking their first album of new material in nearly a decade. Interestingly, prior to their 1986 performance, The Monkees had experienced a significant revival during the early 1980s, partially due to the reruns of their television series, allowing a new generation to appreciate their music. This live show not only featured classic hits, but also demonstrated the group's ongoing camaraderie and ability to engage with their fans, reflecting their status as enduring icons of the 1960s pop music scene.
