Performed live in Bremen, former West Germany, on Saturday, February 18, 1978. By the way, the same day Comedian Oliver Pocher was born in Hannover ;-)
One of my most favorite ABBA songs Rudolf, and this is a very nice performance of this great tune! How in the world Agnetha could look so happy when her & Bjorn had already been divorced, I will never know!! That always amazes me! Hope you have A very Happy New Year Rudolf!
@dholm13 Just for info really: This performance was on a German TV show in about Feb/March 1978 - Agnetha and Bjorn were still together.. they separated in Dec 1978, and divorced at the beginning of 1979 - after 9 years together (7 married). However, the band stayed together until 1982...although it became more difficult for them towards the end as Frida and Benny divorced in 1981 - after being together for 12 years (the last 2 married)...
@DTrain77 They do miss their cue... this was filmed on a German TV show in Feb/Mar 78. In MAY 78 they performed 'Take a Chance' on the James Last show - and if you watch that one they 'adjust' the beginning because of the missed cue on the earlier show...they start the song with their backs to the camera - and then turn around - hence making sure they don't miss it a second time! Clever..'Take a Chance on Me' was Abba's 7th UK No.1.. and 'The Album' had been at No.1 for 9 weeks..sold millions!
WHY DOES ABBA ALWAYS PLAYBACK?

Nice one Rudolf-and why all the fuss that they are lip-syncing-most artists do on most shows! They made the original sound anyway!

An excellent 'performance' by the Hare and the Fox

It looks like the girls miss their cue at the beginning.
