  • brings back fond memories ,were we all could go out have a good time and not end up in a/e with knife wounds abba lives 4 ever

  • wow imagine if Guthrie Govan was around then and doing those solos...i think Frida and Agnetha would have enjoyed that.

  • I'm 18 years old, and I'm listening to this in 2012, this is better than the crap we have now a days...

  • Gosh I miss 70's music!! I was offered tickets to go see ABBA in Indianapolis. I don't remember now why I didn't go, but obviously it couldn't have been too important.

  • in the early 80,s I had a VHS concert of some live Abba concert versions of their best songs. A good friend of mine watched the concert with me. After it was finished he told me not to mention he had watched it to his wife. reason: the Abba girls are gorgeous and his wife was rather "huge". if we only had more stuff like this these days it would be more fun having a powerful stereo.

  • The first seven years was dress rehersal for Wembley. The next three years were a creative wrap party.

  • the greastest pop group over the last 40 years

  • That has to be the happies guitar player in history. I would have paid them to play.

  • i love Agnetha at 2:18

  • @HONORINA27 congratulations! hope you are all fine. All the best with ABBA

  • Dancing queen! What a magic song: "You are the dancing queen, young and sweet,, only seventeen. (...) You can dance, you can jive, HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE"...Who could be young forever....

  • Man, I wish I had been a guitar player for this band! Except, I might have had to sit down for a break after Agnetha ran her hands up my leg.

  • wow, creí que nunca habían cantado en vivo, jaja.

  • imádom öket  forever!!!!

  • How could you not get a boner with those two hanging on your legs?

  • I love oldies bands, because they're actually good and it proves when they sing live they're practically perfect compared to some pop stars of today

  • It was abosulty in Live !

  • I'll bet the guy with the beard playing the guitar blew a wad in his shorts.....!

  • bjorn must of had one of the very early cordless radio mics there. with that black box on the end of it, looks like its held together with sellotape.

  • @remootcom actually, it's not cordless. Look closer.

    peace

  • ABBA was one of my favorites growing up! I heard one of their songs once, and I was hooked! After that, I had to have every song they every song they ever put out

  • Oh Là là!! They are so fabulous in this "does your mother know"!! I love that song.

  • Kann mir jemand sagen wo und wann dieses Konzert war?

  • You're so hot, teasing me

    So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a chick like you

    That's something I couldn't do

    There's that look in your eyes

    I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild

    Ah, but girl you're only a child

  • One other thing: How in the world is that guy able to keep the rythym going doing that part at about 7:20 onwards. I would have played myself to death!

    Joseph F

    Whoever was at this concert, witnessed

    something fabulous. Wish I'd been there.

  • Abba will always rock! But the best thing about them is that they never ruined it by reforming, they made the right decisions and that made them perfect

  • 7:55 there's something going on before he camera cut.. )

  • I"m 49 and I wish like hell there were some way to turn the clock back 30 years. Sadly, all we have are these videos and memories of better times past.

  • 7:39-8:08 , if that happened to me i dont think id be able to keep soloing lol

  • True Dat!

  • Roger that! El Bono Grande...

  • Can't believe my two most fav Abba songs are back to back let alone magnificent live versions.

  • Frida live in Argentina

  • Thank you for posting!!!

    AWESOME!!!

    Frida and Agnetha were --- and still are --- gorgeous!!!!

  • ABBA ~ May you always feel loved. I am honored to call you my friends! Fondly; David Harrison Levi - STARMAKER®™ - David Levi Entertainment Worldwide LLC Beverly Hills, CA 90210 USA Personal Management - Music Producer

    ♥♥

  • Mighty ABBA !! It's 2009, I'm 49yrs old and you have always lifted my spirit. I crank up your GOLD album alot and let you roar.

    You are still with us, stronger and wiser now, and I hope you all are basking in the warm love of this fan who adores you to the end. No matter the disappointments, the irritations, cherish each other, nourish each other, and be ABBA!

    Anni-Frid,Benny,Bjorn,Agnetha may your swords always be sharp, and your campfire warm and friendly!! RoyBoy ;)

  • @primerib01 Well said. The nostalgic memories that emanate from every note and word of their music could never be replaced by any musical ensemble from the last 30 years. Call them what you will, whether it be 'teeny-bopper', 'disco', 'pop', or anything else, they personified the sounds and genre of those times. I miss them still and always will.

  • Hellacious yes..by now both marriages were done..DYMK? was the first single where the men sang the lead..I think they wrote the song to see if they could carry on without the girls..conclusion: they couldn't..their singing just wasn't as good; the song didn't chart well..the ladies sound tired here in DQ but their defiance in DYMK? is obvious..the dirty looks to Bjorn then they put major moves on the guitarist during his too-long solo.. the men became theater songwriters; Frida went solo after.

  • I still can't find out why Bjorn and Agnetha got divorced

  • By this concert Agnetha was already divorced?

  • yeah :( they separated on Christmas night of 1978

  • Just a great concrt. Is there anyone better, live?

    Joseph

  • Between 5:30 and 5:32 bjorn's microphone changes from a cordless to one with a cord. o_O

  • How I would love to get my hands on Agnetha's dress. I usually don't care for glitzy and sexy, but this dress is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Reminiscent of a 1979 bathing suit / legging combo! Wonder if it's in a landfill now.

  • you will never see 2 women sing that great together , beautiful when they sing together !

  • I'm a die hard rocker...Zep, Deep Purple...all that stuff...I'm a drummer...love the 'groove'...I would give my Left...uhhh, stick to play with this band...doing this tune...right by god now...I remember this from 30 years ago...I was soooo in love with Agnetha!!! Mien Kliene Schotzie!! My mom's name was Lise-Lotte...ich bin en Hamburger!

    ABBA ROCKS...FUH EVUH!!!

  • Great music, Great song, But, why they never dance? ABBA ROCKS!!

  • I LOVE Agnetha's facial expressions at 5:50. It is almost like she is screaming, BJORN.. i do not HAVE to sleep with you anymore.. GO AWAY! it is wonderful! 

    AGNETHA ROCKS!!!!!

  • OMG!!!!!!!!!! i like it very very much!!!!!!

    they are incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i imagine how exciting were thier concerts!!

    i love agnetha!!

  • Oh Bjorn. Of all the ridiculous costumes, yours were the worst. Benny always seemed to escape the really bad ones, and the girls were so gorgeous that they transcended them. Poor Bjorn.

  • Frida at 5:21 looks really awkward... kinda like the Ring girl with her "locked-joint-iness"

  • liloleo are u deaf ? -.-

    its not playback ! pffff ;>

    abba rocks ! remember meeting with Agnetha, we were talking almost 1 hour ! It was the most wonderful time in my live 1981 ;D i got her autograph ! :D

  • What a look from Agnetha at 2: 16 and 5:50

  • No, this was live, there was no playback on the '79 tour. But there were backing vocals and a backing band, so that may account for any discrepency in what you see and what you hear.

  • One thing's for sure, you really have a keen eye! That's hard to pick up but I see what you mean.

    I can't imagine that it's playback though. All these songs are noticeably different from the studio versions.

    What happens is he smiles at Frida and the line is, "take it nice and slow" as the camera loses sight of him. If you'll notice, your lips do not move if you smile like him (open mouth) and sing "take it nice". Try it yourself, then watch the clip again. Am I right? : )

  • Hi. Yes, you're right, there is a discrepency there, but this doesn't appear to be playback related. It seems that Bjorn stopped singing briefly as he smiled as Frida, and the missing line was later over-dubbed for the film. That's how it appears to me, it certainly seems to be a post-production issue rather than a playback issue, as they are certainly live vocals.

  • Insightful and respectful repartee! Kudos fellas!

  • OR it might have been Benny singing off camera; the next shot shows him singing along

  • The guitar player at 7:45 is a very lucky induvidual!

  • Serious.

  • me encanta!!!!!!

  • ABBA rocks!

  • ABBA´s live performance of Dancing Queen in 1977 ABBA The Movie is way better than this version from 79!

    I am a huge ABBA fan but when I hear this version I really get sad, look att the one from 77 LOVE IT :)

  • lol gotta love 5:40.

  • These guys are getting down!!Well, I wonder if their mother know that they're out?!!Huh, well, who knows! Just keep singing....we're all having fun out here/there or wherever. Thanks 7ABBA7.

  • two funky white girls

  • ...Dancing Queen is one of my all timme favourites, I loved it when I was 12 and I still love it!! All of their songs were great compositions and still are, great music and I love to see them singing together, one can see that they love their music and they love performing it, so sweet, amazing!!!!

  • I find it funny that in The Abba Movie the parents are all saying, "Well they're nice and CLEAN." Well that guitar solo wasn't perfectly clean, now was it? Heheheheh.

  • "Does Your Mother Know?" is such a GREAT song. I never heard it as a child, and I love how it shows a whole other side of Abba. They are a BAND.

  • Benny and Bjorn are hot!!

  • 'does' has always been a fav of mine and looking at Björn is always a nice treat:)

    they rock!! adn you too, Shawn, for sharing these fantastic clips:))

  • Funny. I'm watching all these vids and reading comments and thought to myself...all the comments about Agnetha and Frida how beautiful they are (and they are) but havent seen anything about Bjorn or Benny. Then I pull up this one and there it is from sadlookinmoon and lauri2007. bummer the song is cut short.

  • lol well no matter how beautiful Aggie or Frida looks they won't make me a vageterian. Björn was a real hottie back in the days, how can anyone resist that pretty face and fine ass??:))

  • LoLZZZZ! I'm sitting here with a 102 degree temp from strep throat and I still laughed at that. Ouch! Very funny Elin..:)

  • oh that is bad Shawn! sorry to hear you're not feeling well, fingers crossed you'll get better soon.

    But it's always nice making someone laugh!:)

  • Baby, they're ALL hot! Come on! Talent and looks and charisma...they're quad-threat package!!!

  • yeah you're absolutely right about that!! the girls voices combined with the composing geniuses B&B made magic.

    just can't help but favoring one particular member though, I hope you can forgive me:D

  • AMAZING!!!! I love ABBA!!!

  • I remember having seen this video at the time. I love it when Björn comes close to Agnetta and they look at each other - he has that "perversito" look - so sexy! Agnetta was so pretty! Eran grandiosos, what else can I say!

  • This version of Dancing queen sounds good with some flourishes here and there. Does your mother know is an awesome version shown here with guitar solos and the whole bit then top that off with the great back up singers and musicians and you have an expeirience

  • Thank you! I love you! so much joy!

  • it's hard to believe how _good_ they were

  • Great Performance, Great group

  • Great live vid... many others look/sound like

    they're lip-syuc'd!

    thanks to youtube for making this possible!

  • There is a horrible rumor that they were rubbish live. I think this video proves all those jackasses wrong.

  • I second that emotion! :)

  • @7ABBA7 Agreed, only a totally uneducated musical retard would even assume ABBA was nothing less than amazing!!

  • my sentiments exactly

  • @michellestmarie I saw them live twice. No greater words of bull$hit were ever rumored. They absolutely rocked both times. I have seen HUNDREDS of performances! Theirs ranks high in the top ten!

    peace

  • @michellestmarie It's rubbish. I saw them twice! No complaints here!

    peace

  • The lip-sync'd ones are tv promotion appearances. It's just the same thing as every music video where the performers mime the whole song. The purpose was to get out there and sell the record. Neither the cheap tv stations nor many of the groups would want to pay for all the pro gear and players necessary for a proper live performance. Sometimes they'd sing live to a backing track. Just cheap marketing back then, that's all. As you can see, they reproduce their sound just fine live.

  • Agnetha is the graetest person on earth i love her i want to meet her i love she  she is beatiful,beariful,beatiful...

    ABBA is so great all of them are great!!!

    ABBA EVER

  • I LOVE ABBA!!!!!!

  • The vocalists have the best voice I've ever heard..

  • Absolutely rocking on both songs! :)

  • This is the group I first heard in English, and drove me into my profession actually.....

    Agnetta's voice is just Superb! The best one I've ever heard!

  • Watching Videos like this one of ABBA has inspired me to invent a time machine! ABBA RoCkS!!!

  • How did that guitar player keep his cool with two dolls like that holding onto his legs? At this point in their short career it looked like the whole group truly enjoyed their music and were in love with life. So much of their love of life comes through in their music.

  • I love love love the Frida and Agnetha's hair. This is the very best look for Agnetha...she is sooo cute here.

    ABBA IS GROVIN IN THIS PERFORMANCE

  • Thank you so much for posting this. They always looked liked they had the most fun with "does your mother know"

    What a legendary performance. 5 Stars

  • good shaw:D

  • Two great live versions Shawn

    Cant get enough of this

  • It is slightly Gooooooooood isn't it? YaY ABBA! Thanks Shay. :D

  • Great vid, Shawn, keep 'em comin'!

  • As you wish kind Sir. :P
