[lakritsfloos]

AaronDArnold, then check out 'Axel Boman - ABBA 002' here on youtube. U Will Like!!

[cszenky]

very good



[AaronDArnold]

The piano in their music is what got me hooked.

[TheVestini]

Magic...PURE MAGIC!

[gabbyvalddes]

2012 ,,,23 years,,,,,and I LOVE ABBA MUSIC =)

[brunoresende29]

I love seeing Benny dancing in the piano!! xD They were really enjoying that moment. This is my favorite ABBA song :)

[gabbyvalddes]

@brunoresende29 me too =)

[Chaaaos74]

wow Frida is sooo sexy

[Chaaaos74]

BEST ABBA SONG!

[sh24jame]

FRIDA IS RADIANT HERE.AMAZING WOMEN

[Perle3456]

Nobody can sing like ABBA !!

[bettinn66]

Oh Frida..bist du da blau?

[howie2078]

Agnetha or Frida? Agnetha interprets the lyrics with her movements and holds eye contact with the camera more, Frida more into grooving and enjoying being on stage. You feel more connected to 'actress' Agnetha' than 'dancer' Frida. But really its two slices of lovliness on the one small stage... visual ping pong!

[Perle3456]

Nobody can sing as high-pitched as Agnetha...she is a goddess when it comes to high tunes

[davidatcuwclubnet]

without that backing group on the guitars & drums ABBA would struggle to be as good, 5 guys playing instruments has a far more dominant effect. Equal praise must be thrown at them as they made sure ABBA kept going. Well done guys.

[pitputter]

oooh yes, this is one of my favorite songs for the sunday-morning-dancing-under-t­he-shower-playlist ...

[gcbranco]

thank you Sweden !

[randytravismanager]

This has to be one of the greatest songs ever. Agnetha is absolutely positively beautiful. There is a certain sadness about her. She is everything I want in a person, I don't think I could of let her go. Anni is cute but she dances like she is recovering from two broken legs. At least she is enjoying the moment. Abba fucking rocks.

[jojfritz]

So sincere,,so sweet..really genuine singers and musicians. I love ABBA. Who cares how they dance they are true vocalists and natural beauties, unlike "singers" like janet jackson and such that are good street dancers , but really can not sing at all 

[MrPekisha]

The guy with guitar is staring at Frida's butt

[pitputter]

@MrPekisha ... i would do exactly the same ....

[juliocarrillo22]

loveeeeeeeeeeeee it <3

[karenbennet]

The girls were always so funny when they danced... xDDDD

But they were and still are absolutely talented and beautiful!

[SofiesRaun]

I want that dress! where the hell can i get that dress!?

[Nelamy86]

to hear and see them on stage makes me happy- it's a lot of fun

[1agnethafan]

I love how the girls improvised. :D

[Sincopare]

Lord, I miss clear lip gloss on gorgeous women.

[2Shaymcn]

@Sincopare

:)

[SergeantPaenzer]

@Sincopare.:so it is! !!!

[4lyBlack]

they can't dance but WHO CARES? they're so funny and so damn good, listening to their songs always makes me feel better :)

[Sincopare]

@4lyBlack Yeah, right, they can't dance. Frida has no moves. Perhaps you weren't around when musical numbers were based on the music and not the spectacle. Now just try to keep your eyes off A & A!

[2Shaymcn]

@4lyBlack Yes they could capture pure joy in those songs .

I call it dancing , it works for  me ! hehe

[4lyBlack]

@2Shaymcn well they dance but i think they're very funny while they're doing it.. I love them so much! x)

[calgal1967]

@4lyBlack I think thier movements are so enjoyable is because they are genuine. No contrived or planned steps.

[Histoman41]

I think the video quality is awful, and for a Japanese production too, -surprising !

[CallmeXtina80]

@Histoman41 are you serious?

[2Shaymcn]

@Histoman41

I re-uploaded again in better quality but European PAL TV was superior to the Japanese and US NTSC broadcasts

[thorwaldjorgensen]

love this song!!!!!

[taeko4734]

GOOD

[skintrade]

I like the baloon thing

[sandy1980ification]

Frida shine! very beatiful woman.  she is a princes.

[weirdsleepovergirls0]

frida looks amazing :)

[wojteklennon]

OMG FRida must have been drunk here:) as rumours say:D and, true wassnlous..legs, legs:D

[chris200179]

I love the echo and total different mix on this, but the piano and strings sound great!

[ji61m]

Just another late night stop Shay, and you were right...Hot, Hot, Hot!

[rebecacyrineu]

benny looks always so happy playing the piano!

[Pumpapickels]

I really love this performance! One of my favourite ABBA In Japan -performances. They're full of energy!

[realmclennyd]

This was a crystalclear video Shay. The Japs had equipment to make videos also in 1978. And the girls makes it even better, the whole group of course. A 5* Thanks.

Look at Benny barely being able to stay at the piano- awesome.........

Another bullseye, my friend-

[B52sguy]

Again, Shay; A great upload. I just can't seem to get what I want from editing and the "Sound"!

Michael T was/is a genius.

And you, my YT buddy only enhance the feeling.

God Bless,

Joseph F

[2Shaymcn]

Thanks Joseph, its great to see these Japan clips in such great quality too.

M Tretow added that x factor to the production- sprinkled some star dust over it !
