[rhymeandreasoning]

The Raes" also performed 'BOOGIE SHOES' on this special, if anyone has this particular segment , please please post..thanks

[boobtube52]

I can't believe four people would give this a thumbs down!

They are either gay, blind or just too stupid!

That may just be the nicest video I have ever seen!

Awesome song and the girls look beyond phenomenal!!!

[alexcious]

[UtahImplosion]

[helthuismartin]

Super ,i love thiss one.

[moonflower0924]

Frida is soo pretty! :)

[helthuismartin]

@moonflower0924 You can have Frida,then i wil have ANNA.

[colbert6]

that blond woman looks very drunk

[candleinwindow]

It seems as Frida is drunk))

[narox]

Fabulous harmony.

[EatTheRich138]

@narox That would be a relative comment if they were actually PERFORMING the song. Studio harmony is as easy as paying the engineer.

[mikeyxr7]

This song makes me happy:)

[timpows]

Love the scene in the beginning where Benny starts playing the synth AFTER the sound of the synth starts!!!

[primadonna11]

Benny <3

[kpurswani]

Ah the glory days of live performance. Love ABBA!

[Mond1961]

Benny the perfect Piano-man the voices of the girls are so amazing

[Ultramar0270]

Wow!!! Annie Frid is so so beautiful, Is difficult to find a woman like her.

[keithdeweese]

Agreed! She's the Hedy Lamarr of Pop Music!

[boobtube52]

@Ultramar0270

Difficult?

Try impossible!

[Ultramar0270]

@boobtube52 Yes, impossible, She has a special enchantment.

[raadaepf]

Buenisismo!!!!

[uprightchoppers]

Great Video :)

[surupa17496]

thanx fr the video man!!!!!!!

[54spiritedwill54]

ABBA is the best POP group ever!!!

[cedartree696]

Great song indeed! One of my favorites.

I just wish it was actually live. Listen to when the synth comes near the beginning; major screw up as Benny's fingers don't make it to the keyboard before it starts to play. I have seen only a couple of truly "live" performances where I can see a whole band with bass and drums and the backup singers (Their harmony is often layered with more than 2 female singers) rather than these fake ones.

[ABBAERIC]

Yes I agree! I took a look at your comment while I was listening.(I always do it ) And I read quickly and I rewined it and guess what your right! I always thought they never did that but they do lol...

[mekatoronikusu]

yeah...live huh????

lolz

[abbafan4ever13]

i always say so what about lip sync or replay because it's not like it's not their origional voices in the first place and i mean its hard to do it live all the time because sometimes you just forget, you shouldn't be worried about the little details of the performance and try to enjoy the music

[blind51de]

Except musicians are expected to be able to make music in public. That's why you pay to see their performance.

I know ABBA had a lot of challenges to make a live sound similar to the album, but even in those days it was possible. They overdid the lip-syncing.

[gustavojoris]

It was common practice in television at that time. Too expensive to play live all the time... but they NEVER did lip-syncing in their shows, of course.

[swissm8]

omg.. i also saw it... but you can see it in the video where frida is nudging agneta.... for a few seconds they stop singing... funny scene:)

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Love ABBA!

Their music gets better as the years go by!!

George Vreeland Hill

[FriderichCO]

God...., they're just wonderful... still lovely songs through generations!

[born1in1a1sauna]

At that time Sweden was almost as rich as Switzerland..

[ninin100]

filmed in Switzerland in 1979

[yellofury]

you want live then search for the Olivia Special version of this song

[Crazycatperson66]

Frida seems unusually stiff in this performance. usually she's all out there, but in this video she seems quite nervous

[thgirbla]

Sad to announce that Björn Ulvaeus is reported to have lost his memory. He can't even remember his fame with ABBA.

True story, look it up!

[viewer2u2]

Actually, no, he hasn't lost his memory. He's fine, but doesn't quite remember all the details. He's 64, in very good health, and still composing.

[Rurbare]

OMG, what can I say? This song is howling, marvellous, marvelous, rattling, wondrous, fantastic, terrific, tremendous, grand - and I love it! Long live ABBA! : D

[Sennsche1991]

Frida is my pattern, i love her voice!!!

[geoffreyah]

Frida is a great flurt huh? nice lipsinc or voice over!

[ABBAERIC]

There vices blend in perfectly there wont be a band and singers like that for the next era of earth lol.Greay band

ABBA ROCKS

[radcliffe91]

great playback. of abba

[igneaflaviustimisoar]

When was made this? :-??

[fridafan6]

the girl are very beautiful like usual..

[Buschox]

Great movie!! :D And happy new year!!!^^

[mymitch2008]

their perfect voice blending is highly depicted in this song especially in the intro. Very rare combination. ABBA is driving me crazy!

[pontedupre009]

These people were perfect. Perfect skin, perfect hair, perfect artists. Perfect repertoire. WOW !!!!!! Double WOW !!!!!!!

[maykampf]

ABBA é incomparável, simplesmente magnífico!

[KCityHoplite]

Yeah, lip synched. Otherwise ther'd be monitors on the stage. But I do know they were really good and tight live...I'd reckon this is one of the (possibly very) few times they ever did lip synch..

[demon27dan]

Actually, the majority of ABBA's TV appearances were lip-synched, mainly a result of the limitations of television studios to have live music, and sometimes also due to their tour schedules not allowing them the band any rehearsal time. I remember reading an interview with Benny a few years back, where he commented on the frustration of this as they were always prepared to perform live but often TV producers would not allow them to and preferred them to mime to backing tracks for convenience.

[fredj]

Especially TACOM- the boys' "take-a-chance-take-a-chance-t­ake-a-chicka-chance-chance" HAD to be lip-synched because it's impossible to sing that live, straight through, in one breath. Believe me- I tried.......

[supertrouper]

this sounds lip synched

[Jhonricardo]

who cares is Abba ¡

[juggluver69]

bad lip sync in this one

[mtkolife]

They have so nice vocals...you can even imagine... They are so good at singing...

[kilimandzara1]

ABBA is the best POP group ever!!!

[axelp19]

video

jaja

[f1r2i3da]

abba is the best of the world

[f1r2i3da]

annifrid the best

[masgunarto]

ABBA BoneyM

giant of disco

[Abbot63]

ABBA is not a disco group, ABBA is pure and solid pop music.

[naruto90123]

WOW there voice is so like clear when they're live.. I haven't heard another song where when they're on stage that is that strong and is the best.

[mistofoles]

I agree, but this isn't live, that's the studio track that was released on the LP

[nonniemom]

PERFECT voices together...Thanks...always a favorite

[aleq3]

If I were on ANY of their concerts, i would SCREAM MY LUNGS OUT!

[moodswings]

what year is this performance?

[theGrape]

'show' filmed on Friday 16 February and the rest between Wednesday 14 & Sunday 18 February 1979

[fridafan6]

the girl are wonderful...the song is a very success

thanks for posting it

[jackpatch11]

do they something in the mic that makes them sound like their offical video?

[reflectivegoat]

Haha! ( :  I think the key to achieving that is to do nothing into the microphone.

[222Doc]

Back in the day it was common to "karaoky to the sound track. remember NO computers, High Fi was real to real, 8*tracks were hot new thing, Dam i miss those days. These were some the most talented people(abba) you will ever find. Today we here singers that are PRODUCED most have little or NO talent.

[jovitomerced]

John Lennon was the leader of the BEATTLES as Benny Andersson was to ABBA.

Considering their personalities, if you paired Agnetha-Benny....Anni-Frida-Bj­orn, I think we would be still hearing them with their beautiful music together!

[amarnamriju]

lennon wasn't the leader of the beatles...only in the very very beginning maybe. and especially after epstein's death...macca was mainly responsible for leading the beatles in the direction they went. but they were pretty much equal in terms of individual songs written.

[Plasvi]

Abba, greatest band ever. I live in Finland neighbour country.. I heard that in 2008 they get an ABBA museum.. I really want to go there! Love ya Agnetha you're so beautiful and wonderful I hope you live a lon and healthy life with you're family.

[anushkahimali]

A great song, Agnetha is cheerful which she lost in the last few years in ABBA

[chippychipmunk2010]

benny kinda looks deranged at 2:05

[angel585]

How the girls (and even the guys) always managed to perform in tight outfits such as these is beyond me. They look great :D

[umamakesh]
