ABBA : SOS (Momarkedet Norway 1975) HQ

[catchmeifyucan1]

great Frida moment 1:00-1:06 Those girls were unbelievably beautiful and talented. Never get tired of watching this video. The lyrics were some of the best ever written

[kevin184988]

I love her she is hot

[JohnStecchino]

this is the first song i ever remember to have listened for the first time. born1976

[amymonkey09]

Ryan will marry you

[kevin184988]

she os cute

[BabylonAGoGo]

Oh Svedsko girls...yummy.

[stephaniechm]

Okay, ABBA was totally awesome, but in all fairness, the song was identical to that of the recorded version, and the brunette girl had the microphone about a mile away from her mouth, with no audible difference in the volume of her voice.

I'm pretty sure 1975 microphones weren't that tech-savvy. I hate lyp-synching!!

[Skumberg74]

@stephaniechm Yes, I believe it's play-back, too bad because they used to have a fairly big orchestra in this show, I guess they cut som corners (and costs) this time. I've also read that the ABBA members didn't like live performances very much, maybe they wanted everything to be prefectly predictable, thus no live band.

[BabylonAGoGo]

@stephaniechm true the are lip synching, but who gives a shite!! They are babes and just watching them move in those kitty dresses is pure delight.

[hipmaf420]

people in the 70s were on some serious cocaine...one helluva drug

[sphinx1020]

watching abba for the first time 1975 performing at the JAMES LAST SHOW, agnetha striking appearance struck me dumb. agnetha, definitely is, was and still is my first crush. i was thirteen in 1976.

[horkguy16]

@sphinx1020 right on dude! i was 11 in '76 and to this day i lust her 70's look!! the most beautiful female pop/rock singer ever!!

[sphinx1020]

[pangrac1]

is it playback or fully live?

[bcakapinky]

@pangrac1 Who knows? It might be a little bit of both. I think.

[bombfuckinhadston]

i listen to punk and thrash and all manner of awful music but this shit gives me goosebumps they have the best voices in the world

[sulanjyo]

My God ... The agnetha's glance to the camera at the 40's ... so profound and so connected to her heart… She gave love to the entire humanity at this moment.... oh my god ! the power of woman's Love ! I'm falling ! ... love is divine ! I'm dying ! Want to dye in it !!!!... an angel was in her, I don't know, or the ultimate Goddess... the human beeng is so weak and fragile, but can also be so incredibly divine when he is in his right place; it makes me cry of purity about the humanity…

[sunchilde68]

@sulanjyo I understand my friend...I have been in love with her ...for 35 years...  .my childhood crush never left for a moment...she is an angelic Goddess from a celestial realm of pure beauty, graced with a magnitude of untainted sweetness that is unfathomable...I LOVE HER INTENSELY,IMMENSELY ......... peace n love 2u : )

[petunia4ever]

ABBA<3

[BabylonAGoGo]

Even this punk rocker is amazed at the wonderful pop hooks of ABBA...just brilliant music.

[stevephengb]

They are legends and many songwriters want to work with them. They should be back again together.

[mv2112mv]

Are they lip-syncing? Either way still great!

[warlockhacker13]

haha, think i have to shit my pants. Seriously, what the fuck. They suck. the 70's must have been a very hard decade for ppl who actually finds this shit good. some retarded woman singing songs whom wont reach out to anyone now these days. The guy playing on the piano isn't even playing, its just a playback. Jeez....

[kravin99]

@warlockhacker13 It's interesting you say that because they still average over 2 million cds sold each year including this year. Even punk rockers and major music stars admitted they are huge fans of ABBA. It's not for everyone but they sell more records today than most current artists do. The proof is in the sales figures, not your opinion. They didn't make it to the Rock Hall of Fame by being shitty. Now go clean your pants shit ass!

[warlockhacker13]

@kravin99 So, I should care because milions of people enjoys this shit?

[bourlivak88]

@warlockhacker13 shit? lol... the incorrect opinion that Abba is shitty is (was) spread mainly among normal public and less among musicians themselves..what results out of that??? That mainly those, who don´t know a shit about it, piss on it.

[BabylonAGoGo]

@warlockhacker13 Dude you don't know shit about music or talent, so please crawl back under you rock ans stop annoying people like the troll you are.

BTW, my favorite bands are Joy Division, The Clash, Ramones, Guided By Voices, Bauhaus, Black Keys, Rolling Stones, Joe Strummer & The Mescalleros, The Pixies, Placebo, Beethoven, Dvorak, Grieg...so I think I know a little about music aside from playing drums, French Horn, trumpet, and piano.

[smeldogs]

Great video!

[omegabc5]

Abba este conjunto são demais encantador....

[interweeter]

cant you hear me SOS.

[helthuismartin]

ANNA reacht an onbelieveble high llevel of baeutiness.

[dicrinson]

is beautiful

[Rwmhos]

...when women had voices and personality, when they were not meat-pieces of sexual lobotomy.

[Crepuscular1685]

Such beautiful women

[eli5771]

sos is my fav..or.. danceing queen.. or maybe i just like to see her sing it lol

[realmclennyd]

wow this is just like american bandstand even the outfits are the same the only thing missing is dick clark ,. cool

[hd74man]

Agnetha is totally smokin' in this clip. Check the expression at 1:12 and hip swinging at 2:02/2:10. WOW! John Lennon and Pete Townshend had it right when they noted "SOS" as one of the greatest POP songs of all times. (Thank you 7Abba7 for that insight!) And a big "fabulous post" thanks to 2Shay for the effort in getting this timeless video up for us all to enjoy.

[2Shaymcn]

Thanks for stoppin by . it's a good 'un

Lennon ,Townshend - good company

Big up to 7abba7 - the main man Shawn !!

[AbbaFanSouth]

SOS is looking like my fav ABBA song..

or is it that outfit?

I think this will require more research on my part

[2Shaymcn]

Its an iconic outfit and song

I kinda like the next song too when the long skirts come away and those legs swing free !!! hehe

[bcakapinky]

@2Shaymcn You mean "Waterloo?"

[Benching341]

You just have to love these two gals.

[juliancachaco]

Frida was beautiful tooo. Exellent Performance

[realmclennyd]

this was the first song abba sung on american bandstand the second one was sos but those were the day of abba mania .

[2Shaymcn]

Cheer Len, great opomistic  days!

[loquez]

thanks for the HQ

[dsexocet]

Great use of subtitles + greatest pop group ever = 5 stars

[diapheneity]

Agnetha simply rocks in this. Itter GODDESS!

[Ullarr]

Shaymcn, you seem like a person who knows everything about abba. Do you know if ther's a collection or something that contains many of abba's performances? (like this one for instance) You don't have to answer if you dont want to

[2Shaymcn]

This one is available on the 'Number ones ' dvd

Sorry for the late reply

[Ullarr]

A, okay, tank you!

never mind

[zlatantillifk]

@2Shaymcn I actually like hard-rock like f.ex Iron Maiden. But I must confess that these guys were quite unique. Imense talent. Must be the most underestimated band in music history. I know they sold alot. But they didn´t get the recognition they deserve. The composition is genious. The vocals are indeed unique and incredibly beautiful. The perfect pop group package. But the best thing for me is really that they didn´t make one single slip- up looking at their song-list. Unique.....

[2Shaymcn]

Glad you like it Greg, thanks

[kzbxvz]

Thanks a lot Agnetha looks great in HQ.

[johncarter44]

Always nice to see a different live venue for ABBA performing one of my favorite songs.

I wonder how many different TV performances there are of this surely double figures

thanks

[connyx]

[saloabad]

Updated comment.....Both women...very beautiful! I think we need to watch out and not look to long into either women's eyes Shay!

[2Shaymcn]

People have been warned, so its no good blaming me or you!!

[dholm13]

I love the classic AGGY lip-bite @ 0:44! Nice quality audio & video Shay! Love Benny's piano playing in this song! Great clip all around.
