ABBA - Fernando (live at "Midnight Special" 1976 - FULL)

[SwedisLittleSister92]

I never get who's singing lead (the one with the high voice) when Agnetha joins Frida in the verses after the solo part...I'd guess it would be Frida, but then her voice sounds much more like Agnetha's than her own "dark sound"..Please, can someone help me to figure this out ? :P

[Tassieshannon1]

I love agnethas voice she is absolutlly amazing :)

I love abba ♥

[happytoonlink]

One person is very stupid to see the talent of abba

[eveflyaway]

AWESOME!!!!!!! My first music album, when I was 13 years old. Great memories...

[aaronrodgers77]

they r really good live (especially frida)

[WeenBanjo]

where's the band? i'm talking bass, drums, maybe a woodwind section too ??

[MovieCriticAko]

Frida is so beautiful...

[THEmotownboy]

The other special thing about this performance is the extra 2 bars of the instrumental section in the middle starting at about 2:15.....

[lene73]

how heavenly....frida always nailed it live although both together angelic.

[trent8002003]

ABBA often mimed their songs on TV. But not this time. This REALLY is live. Thanks for the upload.

[doofus0123]

@trent8002003 >>This REALLY is live<<. I agree - I can't believe how much of their "live" stuff was lip-synched. I think I figured out how to tell - it's their vocals. Their accent is more pronounced when they're truly Live. (and the songs don't fade out at the end like they do on the records LOL). but I think there's a studio tape running of the vocals and keyboards. # F A I L

@trent8002003 Not just ABBA, but most other bands and artists as well. Singing live on TV shows was not very common. You'd have to go see a proper concert to actually hear them perform live. But it was also assumed that no one was cheating back then. Then came the Milli Vanilli scandal, followed by the introduction of auto-tune in 1997. Today, people have become incredibly cynical of the music business. A mimed performance makes people question a performer. But this wasn't the case back then.

[trent8002003]

@94mav98 Exactly. Almost no one sang live in the 80's/90's and the fans didn't care. Not anymore. Now if anyone is even suspected of miming or auto-tunning, it's be all over the front page and the fans'd be outraged. The music industry and the fans have both grown in maturity.

The lyrics are so simple but say such a great story!

[dutico]

Frida by far has the best voice in abba

[mattanddi62]

Love Abba!!!!!

[LexDuarte]

The live chorus just soars on this one!

[popcult]

These four people had IT. Magic!

[Ivanbelastegui]

Just listen to the singer´s delivery at the beginning, the way they sing unison in the chorus and the harmony when they sing "I can see it in you´re eyes"... vocally this live version have more singing details than most of the groups in their whole career. Thanks for posting!

[maestrico11]

I love ABBA!!

[wilhub]

such great voices made them able to perform as well as studio

[enialis77210]

ABBA is one of the greatest band ever.

[trevorh321]

They really did have amazing vocals. I like the song, too.

[ImsyVimsy]

really god vocals :)

[AbbaWatcher]

Abba was extremely popular world wide, and they sometime wore clothing or sang songs reflecting countries where their popularity was especially huge, in this case Japan and Latin America. A truly international band for all time.

[rajscreedon69]

what the hell are they wearing?

amazing though

[amsc76]

too bad the video is out of sync.

[ninjabluewings]

My God This Is AWESOME! Live Performances Are So Rare And Those Vovals Are Spine Tingling With FULL EMOTION! And SO MUCH PASSION! I Would Give Everything To Go Back In Time And See Abba Live

[Gaetano0926]

@ninjabluewings Indeed it's a shame I was what I was....I wish i could take all those years back and start again (NOT with today's rap crap though..)

[27Voyageur]

Thanks for sharing - a stunningly great vocal performance!

[youuglymonkey]

ohmyyy!! their vocals are DRIVING ME INSANE because its so beautiful! this just made my day

[sandrovic1970]

Frida's live vocals are out of this world, she completely nails the chorus.

[bboucharde]

@sandrovic1970 Well said! She is one of the best female pop vocalists of all time.

[graficjack]

@sandrovic1970 100% agree... she is an amazing live perfomer who was almost pitch perfect and this video gives me shivers... I will also give Aggy props because normally I can barely hear her when she sings live beside Frida, but here they are both clearly audible and the harmonies are amazing! Wow!

[chikadel91]

Me encanta!!!

Their live voices are fantastic!!!

:D

[Artnoc84]

I love this performance... I've been looking for this video for a long time. The 1st time I saw it, I started to cry immediately. Their voices sound so powerful, so Agnetha & Frida, So ABBA.

[rainonariver]

The live vocal is great to hear! Too bad we have to go back to the 70's to hear such great live voices!

[stevie311me]

Excellent..

would have loved to have seen them..

nothing else I can say.

[Niceguyaustria]

Great. :) I like her live vocals. :)

[sunnyguy65]
