U2 with ABBA

[theedge2009]

What an honour it is for Abba to have the best band in the world to cover one of their songs! They should be the ones to tell Bono, Edge Adam and Larry that they are not worthy. Not you Bono!

[karezza6]

Love Abba

Hate U2

[CristianMclovin]

@karezza6

[karezza6]

[luieu2]

Brilliant !!!

[TheFarSideOfParadise]

@luieu2 :) crazy amazing people of North Europe. Thanks luieu2, following you I discover a new world of U2. Ciao.

[alleseigentlich]

Ikea lamp over his keyboard.

[lastnameavailableok]

awesome

[katilak4]

How funny!! LOVE.IT.

[Lustfig]

Benny buddy should be that guy!o)

[raydog699]

Another great humanitarian gesture from THE MAN: Bono enlivens anything with his gracious stage or studio presence. Until then, you haven't really made it.

@pavelbogdanov73 I SEX PISTOL SONO UNA MERDA

[KenfromDublin]

Benny's bow to Bono at 1:07 was an extraordinary gesture of respect and excitement I guess that Bono was singing one his and Bjorn's songs in his home town in front of his own people.

[KenfromDublin]

The mutual respect in the room was palpable.

[Zmener]

@KenfromDublin

Giving Benny such a small keyboard is no respect!! hehe ;)

[yeryl]

altamente......

[cineThiago]

ABBA IS SHOW!!!

[wro0omm]

I fully respect Bono and i love him Voice but this song sing from Agneta and Frida doesn't have compare....

[eloy1352]

around 1:19 the Edge probably plays in different tune or with other words he plays wrong chords, see the reaction from Björn Benny. probably half step high or low...

[toddbuttel]

Bono can sing any song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[karezza6]

@toddbuttel

Bono can't sing any song.

[MARCUSDONNELLAN]

who else could get aBBa out of retirement?

[KenfromDublin]

@MARCUSDONNELLAN Great point actually, not the whole band obviously, but the Lennon and McCartney of ABBA.

[tyronepat1]

was in earls court london, achtung baby tour, U2 did dancing queen that night and they no doubt started the abba revival. Have never been to a concert before or since that comes close to the electricity created by humanity that night. They opened with streets have no name, my soul left my body and did`nt come back until I needed it to!

[UnderStenen]

"Surreal" - indeed! Wonderful!

[TaraCynara]

This is just great. I've been looking for this for a long time. Thank you for sharing!

[tbcpuebla]

Awesome!!! When did they record this?

[nskid]

I love watching Benny singing his heart out even though he has no mic! He and Bjorn were clearly moved by this. Too bad he didn't have a real piano to really belt out those great chords. 1992 was just ten years after ABBA's break up and they had no idea how immense the revival of their music was going to be over the next 15 years.

[argoninja2112]

"i told you some of the bullshit was pretty cool, didn't i?!"

a fantastic moment!

thanks for posting it!

[TomthatiscalledTom]

A great night to be Swedish or Irish

[Markgr122]

[di101]

"Where´s Frida and Anita? That´s what I wanna know." hahaha

[lemonadesqueeze71]

Much love to Bono and U2. I recently about 6 months ago heard about ABBA, two talented groups mesh how wonderful. And thank you for the upload.

[qwerdavide]

all the stars united !

[coloursprogram]

So cool

[ghaibboy]

1:134 what happen ?!?

[Martaflorais]

Bono - U2, nada comparável!!! amooooooooooo

[Mats1891]

I was there. It was a fantastic evening. 1992 was the year while the European Championship was played.

[yuryiodizadebee]

♫♪in reverence♫♪ the rare u2 album trumps are now on ebay.....enjoy♫♪

[JStofberg]

[amarosy636a]

its like combining caviar with peanut butter - both taste bad,

[mon151178]

GRAN VERSIÓN !!!!!

[Artemis458]

that..actually...worked!

[elboetze]

BONO - the WORLD best singer!!! U2 forever...

[karezza6]

@elboetze

Bono is the world's worst singer.

Bono is the world's ugliest singer.

Bono is the world's greediest singer.

[falmark187]

Great post!!! Had a mp3 of this song a long time, never thought I get the video

[skuzzyknuckles]

I never thought I'd see this, much less enjoy it as much as I did..thanks for posting

[maxwellbetts]

The world two greatest bands!

[lemonadesqueeze71]

What a group of wonderful musicians together!

[Lunasct]

O BONO e MUITO BOM!

[reynaniuri]

melhor epoca do u2 ZooTV antes da voz do bono ser um pouco perdida infelizmente ¬¬

[JhonnyWalker003]

Bono lo maximo u2!!!

[6abigail]

amazing collaborative effort

[indebtedtotheking]

I am amazed that U2 paid a tribute to ABBA and were together on the stage with Bjorn and Benny! How wonderful and "surreal" as bono said. :) This is just another proof that there is only one good music with many different faces!

[jpsmart59]

I am amazed they did this song with Buono.

I prefer the original anyways. Jesus loves you,

come to Him now.

[tns909]

u2 are humble servants of abba

[FromEurope]

This U2 version is not very "Dancing" !

[tlaticevschi]

good try. still the original is better

[tnasunblock]

beautifully bizarre.

[XPANIARD38]

hahaha i think bono felts like queen that night....

[nicocollard23]

This is awesome!!!

*send it to ABBA loving sister*

[rattleU2]

Emotion!!!!!!!!!!!

[dunlaoghaire]

surreal!

[xheidio]

my momma says i was singin' abba before i was actually talkin' ;)

this is too funny for me. in an awesomely kinda awkward way!

no doubt that abba deserves the acholade for some fantastic music!!

[SpaghettiRiff]

beautiful...every single thing bono touchs become fantastic....

[u2MacPhisto09]

"We are not worthy" U2 is great and it's cool for Bono to say that-RESPECT

love both bands!

[closetbug]

I have to admit.... I got  teary eyed! I'm swedish and I love U2 and ABBA. But ABBA a little bit more... :)

[costanzoriver]

de ser casi un himno gay bono le da ese toque de gloria a esta cancion

[FIV19]

A little bit racist your comment, but it's true.

Un poquito racista tu comentario, pero cierto.

[rattleU2]

Cierto, es un ignorante.

[onkly]

ABBA rocks! who is going to bow down to them next?

[zlatantillifk]

I love U2. For a swede like me this is very special indeed!

Heja U2!

[Eithyz]

You can imagine the best bands of all time, gathered in Globe Arena, Sweden and U2 pays tribute to ABBA.

Bono has said that he has grown up with ABBA in his younger years and always loved ABBA, which is why Bono invited Bjorn and Benny to the Globe Arena during a U2 concert.

This is a great chance now that U2 is in Sweden and have the concert, which means Sweden is ABBA's homeland and celebrate them in front of the Swedish people.

[themachoire]

wow so unexpected! the happy wedding of 2 different styles

[ekojunor]

When someone like Bono has respect for the music elders and isn't ashamed to show it, you can feel the love and inspiration among musicians... And we are the ones who benefit!

[gitty1993]

really awesome :D

[fuckinganita]

buenisiiiimo ♥

[iJoakimi]

Amazing, sad i not could been there! Im proud to be swedish.

[csanyijoe]

amazing :)

[iJoakimi]

Björn och benny ni rockar, och bono också :)

[iJoakimi]

amazing, im proud to be swedish!

[zemo84]

Great! Thanks God for U2! ;)

[ulliboll]

just shows how good those girls where... its impossible to imitate them..

[rbferraz]

Fucking awesome!!!!!! It´s great to watch U2 with others bands...

[herveyallen]

ABBA and U2 - Simply my two favorite groups of all time. Glad to see Bono and the boys playing alongside two of the pop greats.

[criskite]

thanks for posting!! U2 rules!!

[jensj2]

Nice to hear how Benny almost finds the right key...)

[jensj2]

What a brilliant vindication for these guys; once branded as jerks, and now hip, timeless... Never mind that this version swings zero, which only goes to to show how great the original was!

[Renemies2008]

I've only heard this clip on audio. This is pretty cool. I'm not a U2 fan at all but I'm glad I was finally able to see this. Thanks! :)
