ᗅᗺᗷᗅ - If it wasn't for the nights HQ (Japan 1980)

[kzbxvz]

Much faster tempo than the studio version!

Looks like the girls invented camel- toe back in the 70's. I was only a kid then and I wasn't yet aware of just how beautiful those two were. Always liked the songs-but it was a hidden pleasure. I was listening to Rush and Yes back then, too. And lots of Sabbath-my bandmates would've laughed me out of the band. Peace

Those Swedish nights are long and dark.

[SADL00KINM00N]

@JimColyer Not during the summers in the north of Sweden! :)

[thepiperchile]

Japanese TV had the right to ABBA on stage but not to the sound, so when they edited this TV special, they had to fuse it with the record

[SADL00KINM00N]

@thepiperchile Hey thanks for the information! That makes sense :)

[SADL00KINM00N]

@nipplerful Yeah you are probably right. But it's strange they didn't slow down the video instead, and then they wouldn't have had to speed up the music...

[tuffbaby]

It's NOT a live performance and the audio has been accelerated ! Fake !

[SADL00KINM00N]

@tuffbaby It doesn't say it's live anywhere. Click on the link shown in the description or the red box appearing in the beginning of this video or the "this is a video response to" -link (you can't miss it).

There you have the video with real live audio from Japan 1980. This is what came on the official DVD though, not much to do about it.

[simonecardcastilho]

Essa musica na minha opinão, é uma das melhores

[deltapiscinas]

Nobody saw she was not wearing panties?

[valiumland]

why so goddamned sped up?

[capmarvelous]

GREAT POST

[oaksyboy44]

Only seen the Japanese tv special performance of this great song,thanks for posting this one Elin....new to me.

[SADL00KINM00N]

you're welcome John! :)

[abbafanglosuk]

Nice to see the performances from this new "Abba in Japan" dvd Elin. This is not an easy song to perform live, but they've got their vocal harmonics perfectly in tune. Like the multiple reflections too, it looks a great concert!

[SADL00KINM00N]

no it definitely isn't John, ít could be my imagination but I don't think this really live, I have the live audio from one of the Japan concerts and it doesn't sound like this at all.

[abbafanglosuk]

Yes I've heard the live concert audio of this song now in your follow-up vid Elin, and the audio here is not live. It makes you wonder if they've extracted this audio from the Abba Special performance of this song on the same dvd! I believe this concert performance is the bonus track.

[Izadeparis]

nice ABBA live prestation as usual .

Thanks for the upload

[2Shaymcn]

Thanks for this great clip.Love Frida's boots , Agnetha should have wore a pair too

[SADL00KINM00N]

I think there is a limit for how much sexiness there can be in one show Shay! hehe

[claxi13]

Great upload Elin!

A very nice close-up of the girl here!

Thanks for let me know this performance!

[SADL00KINM00N]

my pleasure Claudio!:)

[mire7o91]

frida's shoeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eees rock!

[Fridissima]

Hej Elin, what a great upload!

The audio seems to be a slightly sped up original album track, which is a pity.

You just gotta LOVE those BLUE BOOTS! :D :)))) It's a pity she did not wear them in Europe and USA too. Her Japanese outfit is so much better and sexier.

[SADL00KINM00N]

Hej thank you Ivana! yeah it's very strange. I compared it to the studio version, and this seem to be ½ note higher pitched.

I've seen shoes just like them is back in fashion now! :) I love that jacket she is wearing too, and the green stripe is the right colour for her!

[abbalook]

PARDON IN ENGLISH, TO MY FAVORITES

[SADL00KINM00N]

thank you!:))

[abbalook]

WOW AMIS FAVORITOS

[abbalook]

THIS SONG MY MADE KNOW TO abba, but that of 1978, this brilliant video, good effects. CONGRATULATIONS ELIN GOOD JOB

[SADL00KINM00N]

Thank you Miriam! yes this is from the new dvd, unfortunately it's only a short clip.

[roydoncrossing]

Great upload Elin-I wont be buying the DVD though, I am never off here long enough to watch it-already have around a 1000- cds/DVDs with a layer of dust on them lol

[SADL00KINM00N]

lol save the bucks Bill!!

[roydoncrossing]

its the mean Scots blood coming out Elin-och aye the noo!!

[cessnaace]

The audio sounds slightly too high in pitch to me. Do you know if this was time compressed? Usually when a video is time compressed, the audio is electronically lowered in pitch to compensate for the faster speed. Then again, maybe I'm imaging the whole thing. lol.

Thanks for uploading this Elin. Another DVD purchase that I'll need to make. :)

STAY AWESOME! :)

[SADL00KINM00N]

Yeah I thought so too Mark, it's so strange but I got it straight from the DVD.. but YT does a little to the audio degradation as well.

thanks for your comment :)

[cessnaace]

Thanks for uploading it. And thanks too for overlooking my typo. :)

STAY AWESOME! :)

[SADL00KINM00N]

thank you for those Jim!:)

[frapistat]

How funny, Elin, I have the same song up right now. I won't get my hands on the ABBA-Japan dvd until mid November. :o(

Nice show.

[SADL00KINM00N]

It's a great song Rob, it's a fabbtastic dvd! Pity there is so little live clips from 1980 included though.

[Sinny1992]

Thanks for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^^

[SADL00KINM00N]

you're welcome, my pleasure!!!:))
