ABBA : Knowing Me, Knowing You (Poland 1976) HQ

[stanotter]

If you look at the end they used parabolic mics so this was live.

[intraining01]

walking through an empty house... tears in my EYES.

here is where the STORY ENDS. this is GOODBYE.

~Knowing me Knowing you. ~

in these so FAMILIAR ROOMS. Children will PLAY.

now there's only EMPTINESS ... Nothing to SAY.

KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU. ~~~

[Aliof]

An Epic Swedish band that became immortal before its arrival.

[sandy1980ification]

the elegant Frida.

[chuckiesfest21]

this isnt live because in 70s doesnt exist any wireless mic

[TheBeatlesShop]

Complete Classic.

0:07 HIJA DE THOR

[bcakapinky]

nice mechanics outfits on the girls. It looks like they're ready to change your oil and rotate the tires

[Sincopare]

So much better when they don't have to fake singing into unplugged microphones...

[Longbluecoat]

On the 8th day God created the swedes!

[catchmeifyucan1]

Frida never got the recognition she truly deserved both in looks and locals during ABBA's heyday. Its great to see these clips to give her her dues. That said, whats with the manequins and clear human heads in the backround? Was this taped in a department store clothing section?

[andreaandrewmilne]

Never knew ABBA was so smart. "In these so familiar rooms, children would play. Now there's only emptiness, nothing else to say". Perfect distillation of sadness, lack of fruitfulness and regret at love falling apart. Our children may have lived here , in the future other peoples' kids may play, but now our home and theirs is finished. Sung by Agnetha & Anni-Frid, whose beauty makes me look [ahem :-) ] a little less than dazzling, this mix of lyrical power and melancholia is shattering. ♥ andrea

Va inte så jävla snygga! :)

[MrWonderful25]

This is their best song. Beautiful words and music. Wonder performance by Frida, one of the all time great voices. Too bad I am like 100% of the world's males and can't take my eyes off the enormously sexy Agnetha.

[narcisolon]

Wow, I had no idea Agnetha had such a hot ass!

[MrWonderful25]

@narcisolon You been living in a cave? Agnetha's booty was named the 8th Wonder of the World.

[narcisolon]

@MrWonderful25 Well, I was 2 years old when this song came out, and I never really followed their career. I also never thought Agnetha was good looking at all, but youtube has made me change my mind.

[sandy1980ification]

Frida is one of the best pretty woman in the world

[sandy1980ification]

what pretty face have Frida.

[SuperDrJeckyl]

Agnetha sure fills out that jumpsuit. When she twirls around all the world stands to attention.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

this is the best ive ever seen frida look (now that she doesnt look good always!). She just really looks hot here.

[amsc76]

Frida looks very hot.

[pryscylla12311]

The awakening process of communism in Europe was started by the pope John Paul II, not ABBA. We never were a communist country.

[MrHarveyluke]

I would more think that a song about breaking up would be in their repertoire and their would be no hidden meaning in this year. Yes, 1976 was a great year for the group and easy to remember for us Americans since it was our bicentennial year.

[VeryHugeAss]

350 million albums sold! At their peak ABBA made more money for Sweden than Volvo did - seriously.

[agnetha9]

Wonderful people, Abba... Frida looks and sings so happily even after she and Benny got divorced... ABBA surely knows how to get rid of the blues. Great song and video by the way! Thanks Shay!

[atrejutipokmop]

pASAN LOS AÑOS Y SE ESCUCHA MEJOR

[Jelperman]

The piano bit at 2:57 is about the best note I've ever heard in a pop song.

[smeldogs]

This is awesome. Also love Money,Money, Money !

[jacek19792]

dlaczego mnie tam nie było?

[newsinfoworld]

Look at Frida at timeline - 3:33; who does she look at and what is going on with her tilting her head in a "so-very-sorry" gesture...

Her facial expressions tells many a story about her; you can see that in all the video-clips; that very intense contacts she makes to either audience or the band members..

Who could not love her!!!

[jprietoable]

you owe me two, abba.M

[LadyTwentySeven]

Frida the brunette is very beautiful and a great singer. So is blonde Agnetha. By the way, Agnetha is Barbie doll herself!!!

[lalala020]

I wonder what your abba top 5 is shay........thanks for all thse uploads by the way!!

[J77147]

I DIED & I'M IN ABBA  HEAVEN, 5*****

[B52sguy]

Thanks, Shay, for this performance of this magical song.

Do you ever wonder how many people, M/W have thought of this song when they were contemplating ending a relationship? I do; and I guess, when you reach that final 5 minutes of your "togetherness" this is really all one could say.

As usual,

[samadams24]

Have not seen this performance before. Definitely one of their best (if you are able to single out any tunes as their best). Their voices are great, the lyrics are fantastic (in these old familiar rooms children will play-now there's only emptiness, nothing to say). Love this song. Thanks for posting.

[anitashelby]

[010366william]

great video!

[2Shaymcn]

@010366william

:)

[sunsets1977]

Another typically catchy Abba song.Its wrong that folks say it was just a money making machine they discovered.It was based on love in the beginning, but was ambiguous for the band members as time went on & unfortunately their relationships soured.

[2Shaymcn]

@sunsets1977

Nicely summed up

Thanks for dropping by !

[DrSheerFolly]

always been a fav of mine from the group, Shay. one of their very best songs IMOP. although written several years before the group's personal break-ups, the lyrics seem to portend those later events, don't they ? many thnx for this nice live version !

[2Shaymcn]

@DrSheerFolly Only to happy to post this quality tune Harold

Maybe the cracks in the relationships were there, and coming through subconciously here

[2Shaymcn]

@941jes Indeed Jim, a really powerful song !

Thanks for thos stars !

[mauvetys]

This song and "dancing queen" are my top fav from Abba. 1976 was their year no doubt.

Great performance in Poland.

[2Shaymcn]

@mauvetys Two wonderful contrasting song Marie A !

ABBA really ' Arrived ' in '76 with that wonderful album

[J77147]

Still Love  It

[roaringchicken92]

Definitely one of their best compositions!

I never realized how close to Sweden Poland is, those lucky dogs :-))

[2Shaymcn]

@roaringchicken92

Sure were lucky to see them up close and personal

:)

[pryscylla12311]

@roaringchicken92 We aren't "dogs" and we also have great artists from that time.

[coman4ero]

Beautiful song !

Indeed !

Let There & Everywhere Be LIGHT !

Peace, Love, Music & Rainbows !

Lot of SUN, Joy & Stars !

To All, Ever & Forever !

( : - )

[qualqui]

Yeah, totally agree with ya Shay ol' buddy, this has definitely gotta be UP THERE,...Luvin' this song ALOT, the echo gives it that special flavor,...distinction,...thumb­s up to ya Shay and thankin' ya for an AWESOME UPLOAD!! = )

[2Shaymcn]

@qualqui A song of distinction for sure Jose !

I remember playing this over and over again when I got the compliation DVD

Thanks for the distintive comment !

[wafrom]

Another great upload shay you're sooo spoiling us abba fans.. :)

[2Shaymcn]

@wafrom We cant get enough of this band Steve ! Even the well known songs can still surprise you and sound fresh !

[AbbaFanSouth2]

AndraBra is just jealous and didnt know what chan he was on..I loved this..I'd just ignore him if I was you..although sometimes he is right (like this time)....Thanks

[SHAYMCN1]

@AbbaFanSouth2 Hey Bill, he has a real cut pic of Aggie up I see that is very hard to ignore ! hehe Big hug to Elin for the top quality here ! I just added the sound !

[2Shaymcn]

@AbbaFanSouth2 Not sure who that SHAYMCN1 is Bill but he answered you as me ! ha 

[AndraBraMusik]

you and Elin have Poland wrapped up in the quality department..Thanks

[emotd]

Well before the break-ups and still Freida turns serious when she begins...did she know something?

[2Shaymcn]

@emotd Maybe sub conciously Bjorn was writing of his fears

[AFanofABBA]

One of my top three favorite ABBA songs. 

[SHAYMCN1]

@AFanofABBA Definitely in my top 3 as well Jim!

[sinterminator]

wait a minute... Poland was still a communist country back then. So did they listen to western music ? Was it allowed ? Is it possible that Agnetha was part of the awakening process which came into fruition 12 years later ?

[2Shaymcn]

@sinterminator The Iron curtain could not stop ABBA. They were one of a very few western acts to perform there

Agnetha defeated communism ! hehe

[sanfan2010]

@sinterminator

Poland never had a communist land, just driving. Polish peoples do not identify the Bolshevik leadership.

Indeed, the ABBA defeated communism.

[nromk]

epic song to do

[2Shaymcn]

@nromk Thanks Ivan !

[J77147]

OMG, Fantastic, 5*****

[2Shaymcn]

@J77147 Thanks Jacinta for all those stars !
