ABBA : Summer Night City ( Live Stockholm '81) Full Version 5.25

[SuperDrJeckyl]

Agnetha is sooooooooooo cure and flirty here. That's it.....I'm flying over to Sweden and marrying her once and for all.

[brainysod]

The one disliker must be a Bieber fan.

[SuperPrivate2011]

This concert was in the year I was born. 30 years since ABBA split up.

[salemthemerciless]

at 2:25 the volume changes abruptly and becomes less sharp . ?

[TheJanoska]

this is rocking..... brings a tear to the eye too..... :)

[henhorst]

Good clip. Well done.

[SuperDrJeckyl]

It's criminal this is not on DVD. One of the best concerts in history. Even though they are a little stiff around each other, the performances are just breathtaking.

I love seeing Ms. Perfect Agnetha and Frida obviously leaning on each other for support.

They really captured the magic here. Flawless.

[brianandrewspoelhof]

My fav ABBA song!

[jordimla]

@20musicislife05 back in 1981 that's the height of fashion. i daresay these outfits are very much in vogue again.

[mikele444]

i love Frida!!!!!!!

[SofiaAlskarOlaSalo]

aww they look so sad :/ I agree with "faouar"...such a difference from their performance of this song in Wembley :P Of course, at Wembley it was a much bigger concert, but still...:P

[Juppanderlatte1]

This is the Original !!!!

[SuperDrJeckyl]

Watching this yet again, it's remarkable how they had matured into a seriously great rocking group.

[mrwatchman111]

I found out that for this last concert, til' the '82 1, that ABBA specifically asked for Dick Cavett, and only him alone, because of his humor, and demeanor. The best interviewer they wanted. And luckily Cavett and ABBA did it. It was supposed to be an un-official good bye Live concert, and they also wanted a full band, and they got that to. This is probably the best performance they did after all the break-ups.

[Peececraft]

Thanks for sharing !

[SuperDrJeckyl]

Nobody and I mean NOBODY worked a camera better than Agnetha.

She just locked eyes on the camera and you can't take your eyes off her. She's still the sexiest woman I've ever seen.

[mrwatchman111]

I love this Full version, now i'm going to have to get this dvd. I couldn't hardly believe it when Agnetha went over to Bjorn and sang with hin for a cpl seconds, when in this instance, they don't seem to hate each other. Priceless. Thanx Shay Shay.

[artmarty88]

I don't know why this song is so underrated. It sounds great, especially live!

[Georgie12248]

Man I hope they perform again live - just once.

[SCHRUBBE1966]

Best ABBA song.

[MrWonderful25]

The best group, ever! I love, love, love these old videos. People still don't realize what musical geniuses Bjorn, Benny, and the girls were.

I still fall in love with Agnetha every time I see these. I think the best part of Agnetha's magic is her eyes. She looks right into the camera.

[miraeja]

he looks like michael cera's dad

[mytbesa]

The best is 0:00-5:25 :)

[nofreedomofspeech]

Wonder if they had the cameras at that time to get HD....

[drawken]

@nofreedomofspeech

If they FILMED it, yes, it's up to standards of HD resolution. If it was TAPED, no, I don't believe it would be at HD standards.

This is the reason HD transfers can be made of older films, they were FILMED.

Upon looking up the difference between the two mediums it looks as if FILM and TAPE can produce the same resolution. Obviously the TAPE being mentioned isn't your standard VHS tape but a more advanced version. If they had this "advanced version" in the 70s, I don't know.

[drawken]

@nofreedomofspeech

So, yes it was possible to record things at HD resolution in the '70s, ever since the invention of 35mm film has it been possible to do so.

[dreasbn]

Don't know why, but this is still my fave Abba track so it's not a favourite of ABBA themselves... I think it's a very strong sensual erotic and exotic dance track. very different from the rest with the air of sins and darkness. The lyrics match perfectly.

[CatMurdererS]

WOW, great work! Thank you for the video!

[ayeupmeduck2]

This is an absolutley fantastic song. I have been listening to this in the car recently and it is structurally so strong. It has a momentum of its own that just takes you higher and higher. It is interesting to hear the girls sing this live too - without the studio tweaking - I honestly think these two are some the best women singers. They are very different to the out of control modern warblers or rappers, but if you want a lesson in singing technique then you need look no further...

[Foodylox]

@ayeupmeduck2 Totally agree. This is now my ringtone lol! Makes me want to go clubbing every time I hear it! It dumps all over soulless modern dance music!!!

[SuperPrivate2011]

@ayeupmeduck2 ABBA were all technically gifted musicians, but the girls were possibly the best female singers in the World, as you say. Very few vocalists get close in my opinion.

[ccapi68]

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO.

[sarahjane4eva]

Love that bit at the start - 0:01 - 0:16 sounds so haunting

[kravin99]

ABBA is releasing their Tokyo tv appearance on DVD on Nov. 3 in the U.S. with about 15 songs. It should be good quality coming from Japanese studios of that time.

[2Shaymcn]

Thanks for the details on the US release!!

[AORMETALGORE]

on blu-ray too?

[kravin99]

Unfortunately, not on blu-ray at this time. The only ABBA movie on blu-ray now is "ABBA the Movie" If you have a blu-ray player, it should upconvert the normal dvd quite well but obviously not the superior blu-ray quality.

[faouar]

I agree, this version is great. But, well you can see cleraly the fire is gone from their faces. It was such a shame they fell apart like that.

[TheHezis]

It seems to me that the two girls are supporting each other at this concert- I've never seen them sticking do close to each other.

[Atta67]

I think Michael Tretow said in an interview that this is the song that they had never been able to reproduce really good in concert. They worked a lot in the studio to create the perfect sound and was hard to re-create live.

[trossachs2003]

Yet I've heard a couple of pretty good live versions including this. It's just such a "perfect pop song". The verse and the chorus are melodically great and it just barrels along.

[Festfolket]

This version is so great ! And they look stunning here ! Thanks for uploading :-)

Johanna

[2Shaymcn]
