Howdy Rob, Surfing around tonite enjoying some ABBA tunes. I've always liked this partricular video. I found this on a DVD I bought at a yard sale a few years back. It is the studio recording they did for Japan with the dancers in the way of their performance. It had no formatting on it so it was obviously a bootleg but it is still crisp and clear. Keep up the good work. Lenny

@Grandpaw2511 Thanks Lenny, the girls were just HOT here in this show. One of my favorite performances from Japan.

[birdman2ns]

@ frapistat.. did you get this from the dvd of the complete studio recordings?

[FanofKaren]

The clarity of this video is amazing. Makes it that much more enjoyable to watch. The girls look incredible in their costumes. Love Frida's unique dancing moves. Thanks Rob.

[frapistat]

@FanofKaren Ya, we've had some good times over this video, Jim. It's one of my favorites, what am I saying, it's ABBA they're all favorites! I think Rutger Gunnarsson had the most fun watching Frida. Big smile, good reason! Thanks for stopping by, enjoyed the comment.

[abbashalom62]

It is always fun to see our favorite band have so much fun. Benny is clearly enjoying himself at the piano, his grin is contagious! Love the HD here!

[frapistat]

@abbashalom62 Rutger Gunnarssons grin at 1:59 was very contagious too. Although I think he's smiling for a whole different reason than Benny. lol Thanks CJ

[johnnycab23513]

@frapistat If I was forced to stand behind those two georgous ladies every night, the undertaker would never get the grin off my face.

[sueciapr]

Maravilloso, nada mejor que escuchar este grupo.

[dadtoava]

Thank you, thank you Rob for this! This is certainly a top 3 song of theirs, a shame it was never released as a single. Aside from ABBA - The Movie on Blu-Ray, you made my day with Frida in HD! I'll have to get ABBA in Japan and play it upconverted in 1080p, until they bring out a Blu-Ray of it...

[Grandpaw2511]

I found a copy of this on ebay about 3 years ago. I'm sure it was pirated. Not in HD but good quality. This is my favorite perforrmance on it. The Ladies look fantastic and Benny's really rocking out on this one. Thanks for the posting.

[frapistat]

Hi Lenny. The girls really put on a great show for this one, and Benny looks like he is on the verge of headbanging. lol Thanks for stopping by.

[ewffaces7]

nice... I have a new pc. I can finally watch these hd videos

[oaksyboy44]

I really like this song and the quality of the video is excellent.........nice post Rob,thanks.

[frapistat]

This song is one of my favorites, John. This is from ABBA's Japan tour. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.

[oaksyboy44]

I have this video too,a few months ago i got it,but not in HD!!........boo Rob lol

[MIESCHKI65]

What a great post Rob, "Voulez-Vous" is one of my favourite albums of them, and the girls are looking pretty smart. And a cool decoration around the band

[frapistat]

Hallo Steffen. I agree, Voulez-Vous is a favorite of mine too. The ladies really had the energy going in this show. Thanks for the kind comment.

[songsungu]

so great I always loved seeing the full band together. an under rated tune from the disco era

[frapistat]

Very under rated! I hope this show brought back good memories for you, Christian. Thanks for the visit.

[SheerFolly]

ABBA's Japanese hosts never seemed to spare expenses when the group played a date there. even the sets for the TV appearances were over the top with imagination and creativity. i think ABBA really enjoyed the extra effort and i think it shows in the results, great fun. excellent quality post, Rob :))

[frapistat]

I agree, Harold, some of the stage settings were very elaborate. ABBA really enjoyed the Japan tours. Bjorn commented that he very much liked the food. Thanks for looking in. ;o))

[2Shaymcn]

Awesome  post Rob The heat is On !!!

Just as well those guys are not trying to play live !!!

[frapistat]

They sure had fun on their Japan tours, Shay. They were treated like royalty. Everyone looked like they had so much energy in this show. Thanks for the kind words.

[frapistat]

Hi Jim. The girls really had the self expression going in this shoot. Thanks for viewing.

[TheMauvetys]

I love this song. I always evoke the great artist who put the arrangments of most of the hits on "the Voulez-vous" album: Eljas Anders (as i can remember :)

well, the girls seem to play their show on their own there...anyway, it's a great post in HQ!

[frapistat]

I think "Voulez Vous" was the best album they did, oh who am I kidding, how can one pick a best ABBA album. And you are correct on the girls dancing, they each had their own style. Thanks for the great comment, Marie.

[TheMauvetys]

"Arrival" is my fav :))

[Veronica4u2day]

This is my favorite Abba song !!!

This is also the hardest ABBA song to play/sing live. I've heard this live, but this is not live. Anyway it's wonderful. 5 stars and a fave.

Love

Veronica

XXXXXXXXXX

[frapistat]

Hallo Veronica, it is my favorite too! This was filmed in Japan in 1978. I have to laugh watching Rutger Gunnarsson smile as he plays bass and watches the girls dance. Thanks for stopping by. ;o)

[missbeauty58]

This was awesome darling.

5 stars*

Hope you are fine and gave a nice day.

Love Carina XXX

[frapistat]

This is one of my favorites, Carina, so of course I had to post it. Thanks for coming by and your wonderful comment.
