SHARE

Watch Neil Diamond and Micky Dolenz meet for the first time as they perform Diamond’s song “I’m a Believer,” a number one hit for The Monkees in 1966.

TRANSCRIPT

Ladies and gentleman Mr. Neil Diamond!

[Cheering] I thought love was more or less a giving thing.

Yeah, Mickey!

Seems the more I gave the less I got.

What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain.

When I needed sunshine I got rain!

Then I saw her face, hey I'm a believer.

Not a trace of doubt in my mind.

I'm in love.

I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Yes, I saw her face!

Go Micky!

Now I'm a believer.

Not a trace of doubt in my mind.

Well, I'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

I'm a believer!

[Applause] We will, we will rock you! Whooo, give it up!
