I love it. I have to, I mean listening to this music makes you like it, belive it or not. They (ABBA) were friends (still are), they were lovers (not any more) and they've made beautifull music together. A perfect combination for the music to came out just great.
thank you for the share,,, I grew up on this band and NEVER in history has a group harmonized so well,...,.I still get weepy and goose bumps listening to them...XD
Is it just me or is this recording better than the one they put on the CD. I bought the ABBA Gold CD but you can hear Agnetha so much better in this video. I finally got the DVD because I enjoyed this video so much.
I would not say that Beatles is over-rated and under talent compared to Abba or any other band.
Abba was fantastic song writers and performers of their music both in studio as live aswell.
I think about Beatles as very good songwriters to, even better than Abba because they made more songs to be all time classics. But I think Abba beats Beatles and most other bands in performing their music.
@satanihelvetet I am thinking the exact same thing! :) There is no spirit in music nowadays but Abba had a special ability to think only on the music and to get it 100% Abba always got the spirit to be at the top! Funny to read my own thoughts in a comment on youtube :P
chidote video gracias me gustaria haber estado ahi pero era muy chavo tenia 15 aun no los habia escuchado todavia hasta q escuche chiquitita mi cancion favorita desde entonces dios bendiga abba forever
favorite ng daddy ko to pag may videoke singing parati nya kinakanta. Sad to say, patTAY NA DADDY KO PERO KAHIT NA CHIQUITITA WILL LIVE IN MY HEART FOREVER JUST LIKE HIM
Altairograph, what you say is too true. It is more profound, and adds to my original thought, I've said it before, it is now a choice that you've got to make to be different and not worry about everyone else. I think that's what made ABBA unique, they didn't try to be copies of anyone else. Today, not doubt it's cutthroat. I wouldn't want to be a fulltime musician. I'm content to work on the current project I've got going on, that'll take me at least another 2 years. I've been planning it 10 yrs
I"ve read many times about there are no groups to compare with what ABBA did in their day, I respectively disagree, There's plenty of talent flating around today if someone had the courage to step up, and do it. Not being a copy of anyone that's gone before. But become inspired and break new ground. Thats what I think is sorely lacking in the equation. People of vision, that will produce a product worthy of the legacy ABBA left for others to emulate.
There are people who do it like Dillinger Escape Plan, people who step out of the boundaries and are original, but the problem is that most of the time the result is not compatible with the demands of popular music. I absolutely agree that there are many people with great talent who write great music, but ABBA did something even harder, they made original AND mass compatible music and that is something I think is very very hard to do nowadays cause there's so many different music out there.
Sound is great. I've listened to a couple of songs from this concert on Youtube now and am really keen to get hold of a DVD of this it....but no joy on Amazon. Anyone have any ideas what it is called or where it is available?
Just listen to 0:53 when Agnetha sings 'I can see that your oh so sad so quiet'... She putting everything into that, and the result is pure brilliance. Us listeners should think ourselves very lucky that we can sit and listen to artists such as ABBA as each member of the group performs such wonders.
I agree, I´m missing the background vocals and the keyboard-sounds. But it´s still a nice live performance. Especially with Benny´s headbang at 2.20 :)
No this isn't China. ABBA never performed a live concert in China, and that's a fact confirmed by their official site. This footage is from the Wembley Arena concert and is available on DVD to check out if you don't believe me.
im pretty sure this is from Wembley, London.. you can change the fact about this video if you want it correct, cause' this is defenitely not from Copenhagen I can tell =)
Yes, 100% certain this is Wembley Arena in London in 1979. They performed six consecutive nights there between 5th and 10th November. The complete concert is available on DVD.
Well, it´s not quite the complete concert, two out of the six nights were filmed, some songs are from the first, some from the second, but it´s too short to be the complete concert...
John Lennon liked Abba. I would never go far as to compare them. Great pop writing. The Beatles went beyond pop. They changed music forever with their experimentation. No other group has done that. But Abba were very exceptional, as well. The production is second to none and the myth that they were rubbish live is just that...a MYTH.
Im a huge fan of ABBA and The Beatles, and yeah, certainly, in a way, they are in different leagues, but after all, both groups are legend, and yeah, even John Lennon once said that ABBA's "Knowing me, knowing you" was "perfect pop".
you can just see the talent!they sound as perfect as a recording...Agnetha sings this so perfect!!!!! thank u for the vid, by the way this is from Wimbley, London 79'...the cloths in the us were purple...
have the vocals been digitally enhanced, or is this really what they sound like "without a net"? (I saw Linda Ronstadt live, and she sounded just as good as in the studio, i'm guessing ABBA is the same?)
they played wembley 6 nights, i've liked abba since mama mia FIRST came out way back, but never liked to this song til now, seeing it has a lot to do with it, what a GREAT show wembley must have been to see, and some live songs I like even better
Wow, now Abba fan, i finally discovered their perfect harmony & beautiful voices. Tell me is this pronounced accenting the 2 t's or is it pronounced like chuiquitita banana? (chuiquita?)
I don't think this is from Wimbley. There's another video on another channel that's totally different from this one. It doesn't look like anything from the USA tour I've seen either.If those are the only choices it would have to be Copenhagen.
My God they sang so beautiful, it's a shame we won't have singers like this.
