ABBA - Take A Chance On Me (Live Starparade 1978)

[wafrom]

this is a cute performance one of my all time fav abba performance :) thanks for sharing

[azerty5335]

wat waren dat toch lekkere wijven!!!

[RacyReggie]

FRIDA always was the better dancer-Agnetha even admitted to this. Agnetha was always EFFORTLESSLY stylish and alluringly beautiful

[B52sguy]

Was there ever a more beautiful lead singer than Agnetha? Jesus, that woman is so striking!

[frapistat]

@B52sguy Hi Joseph, Frida called and wants you to send some flowers her way too. (hehe) I hate getting in the middle of these things. ;))

[B52sguy]

@frapistat If only I knew where to send them, I would in a heartbeat. I mean no disrespect to Frida, I am, and have always been partial to blondes. But thanks for the chuckle. Just love this song. Have a good night!

[dumberer67]

@B52sguy i think frida is great !!

[cymagen]

how is it that every live performance is just flawless? thats like...unheard of nowadays!!!

[aaronrodgers77]

they r really good live!

[SuperDrJeckyl]

How could any man not fall madly in love with Agnetha after seeing this?!?

She was such a sweetheart. She looked and sang like an angel.

ABBA was 4 very, very talented people along with Stig Anderson, but there just wouldn't have been an ABBA without Agnetha.

[ayeungturtle]

I like abba alot, but I feel like they only really perform about 15% of the music when they play live..

[ajb1776]

Any song that has "olly oxen free" has to be destined for classic status.

[peacemonger1967]

i know its a cliche but they don't write em' like that anymore

[roxydog2004]

Much better daning in this then in dancing queen

[onebaud]

I think it is amazing that the band stayed together as long as it did. They had a superstar, Agnetha, and three talented singers/musicians in the band, but Agnetha never went diva and the music just kept coming. I don't think they ever made a bad song but if they did I hope someone posts it.

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

I wonder if they were able to put their money outside the clutches of the government in Sweden, considering the egregious taxes there.

[astridlamseben]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 It probably wasn't as awfull back then - but still awfull :S But I know that Benny is a very political correct socialist today :( He should stick to writing songs and shut up :P

[SuperDrJeckyl]

@astridlamseben Are you sure you don't mean Bjorn? Bjorn wrote the songs, Benny the music. Sadly, Bjorn pushes his atheist agenda pretty heavily these days. Didn't they move to England to escape the taxes? If you meant Bjorn, or if Benny is a socialist, I agree...they should shut up.

[Lockemeister]

@SuperDrJeckyl Stig Anderson their manager, also co-wrote the lyrics to many of the early songs.

[stratis74]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 u bet... like all rich swedes do

[Fultonfalcons86]

damn this takes me back to the best years for great music the crap that is on today has nothing on this group !!!!!!! great video btw:)

[Dickola100]

Women can't get any cuter!

[SofiaAlskarOlaSalo]

this is not live either...:P

[zoetropez]

oh...abba...guilty pleasure...argh!!!!

[enter201]

It's pretty much from playback, isn't it?

[ashie259]

Frida is starting to lose it a bit here on the style-wisdom front...

[dazzini82]

from 2:10 to 2:28 is AWESOME! The sound, vocals and backing! And the look of Agnetha! SUPER at 2:17!!!!!

[dazzini82]

what has Agnetha done to her fringe/bangs and her eyebrows??!! :-O

[frapistat]

@dazzini82 She's a diva, that explains everything. Next question.

[shinymensdressshoes]

@dazzini82 Lol. Yeah, looks like she shaved her eyebrows off, like a Japanese Noh mask. And what on earth is she wearing?? Looks like king-sized bedsheets!!

[derwillider]

Best ABBA Song EVER!

[songsungu]

this is fantastic. as an ABBA lover for life I have a greater love for this. I have an 8 month old grand son named "Chance" who has a heart condition and has just been able to come home. every time i hear this song i think about him. thank you, Christian

[frapistat]

Thank you, Christian, for a very heart felt comment. I pray your grandson will do well.

[songsungu]

thank you so much, christian

[BANCOMAMO]

at 0:46 agnetha is sooo beutifull she bite your lips, im love her!!!

[litteboxer]

for a second i thought they were lip sinking, but this is a good song.

[anythinggirl95]

If they're not lip synching then they're singing sounds alot like the orignal

[2Shaymcn]

Good lively version with the cold ending here too! Thanks Rob for all the HQ uploads

[frapistat]

Thank You Shay for the kind words and visit. My WMM crashed tonight. No survivors. You have to love computers,giving you gray hair at the speed of light! lol

[2Shaymcn]

Bill Gates & Co. need to go back to the drawing board and design a more stable system

I find the Vista version is much less lightly to crash than the XP version but I do hit the 'save ' button every so often

[frapistat]

I'm sorry Shay,I should have been more specific...My WMM has left the building (Elvis),it is toast. I'm going to have to find a reinstall or consider going to Vista.

[2Shaymcn]

Sorry to hear that Rob, you can download free 'Any Video Converter' quite good for convering,

[SadLookinMoon]

thank you for this Rob!

I always thought she wore that big shirt because of a little pregnancy:)

[frapistat]

Thanks Elin. Peter Christian Ulvaeus was born December 4,1977. So she was not pregnant at the time of this show,however she may have been feeling a little out of shape and chose to try and hide it a bit. I can't find exactly when this show was recorded in 1978.

[SadLookinMoon]

yeah I can imagine getting rid of the exra pounds isn't done in a flash.

hmm the info about this perfomance should must be somewhere... know where to find Sherlock?:)

[frapistat]

That would be Bill,Elin. We need to enlist his services to figure this out. He is a Marriage counselor,Scotland Yard Detective, a dear friend and so much more. I hope he is listening. lol

[claxi13]

Great upload Rob !!

[frapistat]

Thanks,Claudio. I watched a documentary today about Parma Italy and immediately thought about you and what a historic country you live in. Beautiful land.

[ji61m]

Okay....I'll take a chance on Aggy. How big do you think that shirt is that Aggy has on? That has to be the biggest way to tie it in front that I've ever seen! Very nice Rob.

[frapistat]

The word on the street is,Aggy got a great deal on some of Andre The Giants wardrobe. lol Thanks Jim. Did you happen to notice Frida doing Aggy's Sydney number?

[ji61m]

It figures cause neither of the guys are that big. Oh I noticed it alright, but I thought I'd keep my comments to myself and save that one for when I close my eyes and daydream! I think she did a great impersonation of Aggy.
