Despite the fact that the live version from 1974 in Brighton was a very important event in the history of modern music, this one is probably the best version of "Waterloo" you can listen to. Thank you soooooooooo much for uploading!!
A wonderful edit, sadlookinmoon. Thanks! The video was shot during the band's last North American concert, October 7, 1979, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Which is why Benny is wearing the hockey jersey of the Toronto Maple Leafs. A good rock purist friend attended that concert, forced to go to accompany his little sister. To this day, he says its one of the best concerts he's ever seen.
Interesting that Benny is wearing the sweater of star forward Lanny McDonald, who was traded away from the Leafs just two months later. One might think Benny would have chosen the jersey of great defenseman Borje Salming. #21. the first Swedish superstar in the NHL.
of course, footage of them performing the second verse has now appeared on the Japan special, so you can make an updated version now! Next time, though, don't upload in widescreen as the original footage wasn't in widescreen, and by strectching it the images look unnatural making ABBA look distorted and fat!
WOW!! Great edit job Elin!! AWESOME!! I recently heard this Live Version on XM Satellite Radio! Thanks for posting this video!! ABBA's Live Music is the BEST! Once again, thanks for all you do to bring us ABBA's Music! They are with out a doubt, the greatest Rock/Pop groups of all time!!
I just bought the "ABBA Live" on DVD and can you believe it begins with this song? That's fitting because that was their signature song just like Aretha Franklin with "Respect" and The Rolling Stones with "Satisfaction". Can you believe ABBA's '79 tour came at the same time The Bee Gees were on tour?

I've heard there isn't much live footage left unseen, apparently they ran out of tape when filming the concert!
