They are doing lipsinc. That was common practice, back then. It is wonderfully done, and I love this song (as I do just about every ABBA song). This version is identical to the album version.
I haven't heard this song forever! Isn't this off the "Arrival" album? I agree, ABBA forever! Kind of cool video, and I also agree that the original version on the album/video is much better!
The lack of close-ups is probably to do with the girl's sexy outfits. The Japanese are incredibly prudish when it comes to stuff like that. Pity, because they look fantastic especially Aggie in those skin tight pants.
not shown below the waist off ths 50's...wonder what the Japanese Directors explanation for this is?such a great song..but the lack off close-ups in this video is bewildering....
nadie puede negar que ABBA es lo mejor de lo mejor, que nunca nadie será igual que ellos, los amo. Nobody can denies ABBA are the grearest, never will be anybody like them, never and ever... i love them
This is my favorite from ABBA!!! And this is my favorite "EAGLE" video!!! It is an AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE entrance!!! And now i even know what their names are, and what ABBA stands for(really, i never knew)!!!
The main motif of Eagle is kind of eastern in it's sound isn't it? There are some close ups at the end, wish there had been more. Is this a live performaance?
Charliejharry, This is actually theatrical smoke, not dry ice. You are right that had it been dry ice therre would have been some pretty serious problems. Even so, the stage operators are occassionaly turning a fan on to the right of the stage to clear out the accumulation. Good effect but really overdone, especially when it hides Anni-Frid's legs!
superb!! thank you, modern, for sharing this brilliant video!! abba will be great forever!!!

i have this image that the zoom guy in the studio is getting freaked and during the song everyone goes a bit mental trying to sort it out :)

A few more close-ups or different camera angles might have been nice. For 90% of the video they look like little ants on the stage.
