  • бесподобно! 

  • Anticipation of a night on the town with the understanding that it cannot last. This and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! were on the heels of Voulez-Vous. ABBA was riding a wave. Disco was rampant with its throbbing, pulsating beat, and sexual encounters were easy.

  • magistral execution and impressive intro.. 40 people don't uderstand nothing of music... God forgive their 40 souls

  • Ну загнали,загнали.Аш барабансчег не поспевает...

  • Wonderful guys.

  • essse grupo e a mimha vida abba sera eterno . nivaldo brasil.

  • Its awesome to hear Luke Skywalker singing :)

  • ABBA for ever!!!!!

    

  • eagle... end ov

  • fame killed abba

  • @hasanrolf No i dont agree. Agnetha found other interests in life after Linda was born and of course them divorcing made things difficult, not so much the Fame, although Agnetha was a bit scared by all the attention especially in Australia with screaming mobs at the concerts.

  • @Stallion1964 Сould you answer me couple of questions. Why you have connected Abba's ending with Agnetha and have you ever read her book As I Am? Thanks in advance.

  • @OldFanMr I have over the years watched many interviews from all 4 members and what i have said is the 2 divorces from the group put a huge strain on the group which started the decline and at that time Agnetha after having a baby wanted different things in her life, i guess she re-evaluated her priorities? Just my view over the past 30 years as a ABBA fan, others may see it differently?

  • @Stallion1964 Yes it's true, the family and motherhood were highest priority for Agtnetha, but it doesn't mean automatically, that she was the reason of ABBA's end.. As you know, Linda was born 1973 and Agnetha continued for 10 long hard years working with group. Moreover, she had continued on with the group after her divorce from Bjorn for FOUR years, despite it was extremely painful for her, to be with ex-husband on the same stage. It was the heroic act. To be continued...

  • @Stallion1964 I'd like to pay your attention on one sentence from her book.

    “So, talk of me ending ABBA’s career is wrong. Where has that rumour come from and why does it continue to circulate?” Page 86.

    I’m believe her. It’s well-known fact, that ABBA’s end was the result of men’s decision to start make musical with Tim Rice in 1981, but no fault of Agnetha or Frida. But, also I agree with you, main reason of ABBA’s end was two divorces. But who would dare to blame girls?

  • @OldFanMr Yeah i guess each member has their own viewpoint of what happened at the time. I love Agnetha and wouldnt dare to pin point the blame at her. Its one of those things that happen and people take different directions. Thanks for your viewpoint also it is appreciated.

  • @Stallion1964 You are welcome.

  • "sensationel" wollt ich schreiben.... 

  • sie rocken.... wooowww... ich war dabei vor 32 jahren... und ist immer noch senationel.....

  • ABBA one of the best bands ever to exist but I have a question. how many of you ended up here after listening to the ABSOLUTELY AWESOME Therion cover?

  • @MantschAdrian What's that?

  • jerusalem ıs summer nıght cıty !

  • The are and the STAY the best band ever!!!!!!

  • No one will ever come close to this AWESOME band!!!

  • young full of energy and ambition

  • Piękne, lubię to :)

  • Abba- world's best band of 20th century

  • Awesome song!!!

  • In 2006 for her "Confessions tour", Madonna would use this look. I tcan't be more obvious, plus her hit back then, HUNG UP, was a GIMMEGIMME GIMME sampler

  • Whas that Tomas Ledin as the backup singer at 2:38???

  • tambieeeen la amoooo en vivoooooooooooooooo D IOOOOS regresame a vivir en esas epocaaaas donde todo era bello y sanoooooooooooooo

  • Pure Magic

    

  • On the 8th day God created the swedes!

  • @Longbluecoat She only did four of them, after that it´s all biology"

  • The worlds greatest band, from the 70'ties and 80'ties.

  • wow !

  • @stephenkent

    It's both Frida and Agnetha's voices plus Bjorn and the male backup. You can see at 3:31 that the female backups weren't singing. It's Frida's voice you can hear trailing after Agnetha backs off from the mic.

  • i wonder if its the female backing singers giving this track real vocal strength? i reckon one of the backing singers is performing the intro with bjorn. and at the end of the choruses,agnetha stops singing when the powerful female vocal sound continues! maybe its frida who is giving it the real power here...listen to the chorus starting "when the night comes with the action".who is singing ?

  • Agnetha of ABBA and Tarja of nightwish, i m in love of them.

  • SUMMER NIGHT CITY!!!!! :)

  • Great performance by an awesome group. Amazing how the girls can blast it out.

  • 2.40 to 2.48 = Tomas Ledin

  • I cant believe that this tune wasnt released in the US (?!)

  • A brilliant song is hard to spoil and there was no chance ABBA would ever do that. FANTASTIC!

  • I LOVE ABBA ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!

  • And they were absolutely amazing on stage. A brilliant live band always!

  • sorry, typo: I meant "protest song" (not "protext song").

  • @SafeSocks: Did you forget to take your pills again?

    Just look up the complete text on the Net if you don´t understand English well enough!

    It is neither about nuclear power plants, nor is it a protext song .It is simply a celebration of Life, of dancing a whole night long, of having fun -- but also it is about the realization that nothing lasts ( that´s the "scattered driftwood" part)

    As I said: Just look up the complete text on the Net!

  • beautiful suecos

  • Perfect

  • I keep hearing something about driftwood on a beach and giant dynamos, but I can't understand anything else. What is this song supposed to be about, exactly?

  • @mattanaih It's a protest song against constructing nuclear power plants in environmentally sensitive coastal areas.

  • @SafeSocks WHAT?!? What the hell do nuclear power plants have to do with a song title like "Summer Night City"?

  • @mattanaih Quite simple really - summer nights in the city of Stockholm are quite short, eliminating the need for a great deal of artificial lighting. In this manner the Swedes conserve energy and preclude the need to build additional power plants. To conserve energy in the winter, of course, the Swedes merely burrow into the snow and hibernate.

  • @SafeSocks Just read your comments. Hilarious!!! Laughing my Socks off!!!

  • geil!

  • how i love this song !!!!!

  • ABBA is outstanding but another version of this song that really stands out is this one from Therion:

    youtube.com/watch?v=zPqVFfT4Kc­k

    Just a tad heavier but still not too far away from the original.

  • @GetNameError: You're right, I love ABBA, but I adore Therion's version!

  • ett verklig snygg song frän ABBA

    mvh pä Tyskland

  • voll kackaaaa

  • This is great. Swiss Summer Song with an easy video and real Summer feelings at our site...:) Please check it out...:)

  • @HPfan75

    Its A Metal cover from this song...name of the Band : Therion" they covered Summer night City" :)

  • Therion - Summer night city

  • i love you, abba

  • Original and original, i think they have maybe 10 versions of this song not released

    

  • @Tolp2339 And still, what ever version, it´s still their song.

  • Super

  • Comment removed

  • Die Intros von ABBA sind genial!

    Ähnlich gelagert wie die von Uriah Heep.

    Beide sind TOP!!!

  • @Melonenkaugummi Das stimmt

  • ABBA kann man sich sein ganzes Leben lang anhören,die Mukke ist Zeitlos -einfach Geil !

  • this is what a brilliant song and video is, i think this is brilliant! "Summer Night City" is an Amazing song

  • What happened with Abba Group integrants?

  • geile mucke, süper!!!

  • Summer Night City is a great live track. Check out the 1981 live version, even better!

  • Abba rocks! By the way, I learned about this song through the Therion cover. The original is also very awesome

  • @muddator

    Me as well, Therion's cover is brilliant but the original version is also great

  • Thanks uploader! The featured drummer passed away recently, btw.

  • I'm no one to stand on behalf of Frida or Agnetha but I'd like to say they were anything but ordinary women. Just look at them here at their very best prime! Whatever your sexual preferences are, you must acknowledge their true talent and beauty. I dare you try not to, impossible. And the guys were terrific too! They look like friendly and relaxed guys! If would like to invite them a cold beer, why not? after all I have so much to thank them! that's the least I can do.

  • @gupr731122ks4 thank you for your moving and touching post

  • @gupr731122ks4 you just said it man!

  • love it!

  • This is a song all about Stockholm, a city which has extraordinarily long hours of daylight during the Summer months due to it's latitude.

  • Great song,great people!!!

  • Some people are just silly or perhaps blind the musical talent of the group is beyond doubt, and the beauty of both women is unquestionable. Sometime it is just a matter of colour, blonde or brunette? I love both. :-)

  • It's so hard core, I love it! I love the songs performed during this tour, they really got into the songs and performed them really well.... Perfect!

  • So sad the drummer was killed in a freak accident whilst holiday in Spain !!

  • IMHO the best performance of this particular song, better than in the official demo.

    Back to my 15th :))

  • @discouniverse Where are you from to say Frida is 'ordinary'? Nothing to compare with poor Agnetha... Did you know Frida could have started a model carrier at that time if she wanted to... but she married a Crown Prince, though she didn't sing anymore at that time... Success makes all mouthes shut up!!!

  • I love this song and ABBA so much! I think ABBA is the best artists is the world. They made so good musics and lyrics,they sang so beautiful. I wanna say them "please come back again!"

  • Är det inte Tomas Ledin vid 2:38? Var inte han ihop med Stikkan Anderssons dotter? ABBA - Ni var bäst. Fattade inte det då Tracy Nilsson var den enda i klassen som diggade ABBA. Och hon hade engelskt påbrå. Musiksmartast av oss alla! :)

  • @jb3000000 jepp det är Tomas Ledin

  • increíble e inigualable!!!!

  • What a beautiful morning with ace of base, also makes you glad. Long live the Swedes!

  • love love love it!!!

  • Ake Sudquist is the second drummer with the mustache, and bandleader Anders Eljas is on second keyboards, Benny on first keyboards, Bjorn on specialty guitar, with vocals in this song, Aggie and Frida on lead vocals.

  • Comment removed

  • Many queries in the comments about the band and the back-up singers: Thomas Ledin, son in law of Abba manager Stig Anderson is the male backing singer, Birgitta Worhmann (short hair) and Liz Ohman are the female backing singers, Rutger Gunnarson on bass guitar, Lasse Wellander (beard) first guitar, Mats Ronander (blue tie) second guitar, Ola Brunkert is the first drummer, I forget the name of the second drummer (with mustache).

  • Somehow this song slipped by me. ABBA ROCKS!

  • ABBA , I LOVE YOU !!!!!

  • @marist1000 I too

  • ABBA É SHOW DE BOLA, THE BEST

  • The timing may have been right for "Dancing Queen" to be ABBA's finest hour in the U.S., but this song somehow hits me better. And music history's most brilliant female leading vocalists knew how to work the crowd...stunning.

  • super lied, geniale live-aufnahme und dann noch in großartiger Qualität geposted - was will man mehr?

  • השיר די לי די של אילנה אביטל, זה אותו שיר

  • FLAT OUT PORNO MUSIC .... LOVE IT !!!!

  • Fabulous introduction on the $50,000 Yamaha GX-1 synthesizer - the same axe that Keith Emerson used on Fanfare for the Common Man and Pirates.

  • i think that the key of the sucess of abba was , that they really enjoyed the music

    and that was what they gave to the public, they music, they art , they feellings

  • Comment removed

  • Notice how the guitar player is smiling. If I was standing directly behind Agnetha and staring at her ass I would be smiling too!!!

  • These gals could be Brunhilde in Wagner's Ring Cycle.

  • These gals could suck the chrome off a doorknob.

  • Jag älska det här intro på sången. Det vore kul om det gick mer inne sången! Hej då!

    Sverige

  • Grossartig!Abba waren in ihrer Spätphase unglaublich gut..allen voran Agneta...Wahnsinnsstimme und umwerfend sexy.Schade das es heut sowas nicht mehr gibt.

  • Grossartig!

  • Grossartig!

  • Love ABBA!

  • Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park

    Summer Night City!

    I love it!

  • awesome))

  • I Think it a shame that the whole "intro" doesn't show Frida nor Agnetha.

  • やっぱgimme gimme gimme が一番好きかな

  • Danke es war eine wunderschöne Zeit!

  • I love the voice of both women Agnetha and Anni but my Agentha kicked butt in this like slot no affence Anni but wow she was amazing

  • wow!!! 4:22 Agnetha drives me craaaaaaaaazy!! Superhot!!

  • Comment removed

  • Coole alte Nummer!!!!

  • The bassist player is really good, he lays down some really good bass lines.

  • Das Intro ist der Wahnsinn, das haut mich jedes Mal um.

  • @Nofredede

    Dito...des Intro ist einfach ein Meisterwerk.. :-)

  • Thomas Ledin at 2:37

  • Neben Mara Kayser einzigartig!!!

  • Meget pulbar...

  • I think if ABBA were to tour again they would beat the rolling stones for most grossed tour (Their Big Bang Tour is top )

    Abba would be on the road for years.everyone would wanna see them. I know its not gonna happen but could you imagine ????

  • who says they don't belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

  • Who said Disco Music was a synthetic/prefab/soulless thing!!?? This is LIFE MUSIC at its best. Amazing musicians, awesome singers, ... incredible performance! Actually, much, much better than any rock band nowadays (and better than many "rockers" of that time). They might be "just" a Pop band, but they sure rock way harder than, say, Kiss. That´s a fact!!

  • @apataye and they're about just as popular in the gay community as kiss.

  • @RachmaninovDESU That´s probably true. But for different reasons, I guess. I mean, Abba were shinny, glamurous & funny. On the other hand, Kiss were plain "Faggot Rock". Don´t get me wrong, NOTHING against Gay people, and -therefore- nothing against gay musicians playing in a rock band -or any other band, for that matter- but I just don´t appreciate "Gay Rock". That is, mostly hetero men, w ridiculous macho attitude, pretending 2b hard while playing embarrasingly soft music, like KISS.

  • @apataye Haha I don't think KISS would like you calling them Faggot Rock, but that's just their problem.

    Downline is: both bands are pretty shitty.

  • i love the intro!!! wow

  • If I had a time machine, I would first go back to Wembley 1979 and screaming jump to ABBA, especially Agnetha. Then to a concert with my other favorite Led Zeppelin. It's crazy I know, but that's the way it is.

  • @aluzzz000 I would fly my time machine back to '77 Australia to participate in that wonderful wackiness known as ABBAmania. To me, that was ABBA at their absolute peak: They had just become legitimate international superstars, they were still new and fresh, the romantic aura was intact and the enthusiasm was genuine. And why would Zep and ABBA be a crazy combo? Plant was a big ABBA fan, and Zep recorded their last album in ABBA's Polar Music studio.

  • Comment removed

  • @mattanaih Thanks for your reply, now I feel little bit less crazy. Of course you have right about their tour of Australia, it was something truly special. But ABBA had also a big success in England with six sold-out evenings at Wembley and I've just read that it was 3.5 MILLION requests for tickets to their concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall --- That says a lot about ABBA's greatness!

  • hey everybody click our channel and watch a great cover version of abba's honey honey :) we'd be grateful!

  • Imagine how much they'd earn for a comeback tour, mindblowing.

  • @depreciousMODE they were offered a BILLION US$ about 10 years ago, and turned it down; and why bother, when most of it will go to the Swedish govt anyway?

  • I love the intro to this.

  • ABBA da geht nichts drüber

  • Abba über alles

  • This is a SUPER duper Group OF the 70's and was apart of The BEST that Disco Had to Offer. Songs like "I have a Dream", "Fernando", "Does Your Mother Know" and "Take a Chance on Me". Are so unpretentious, decent, and fun that no one could write or sing stuff like that anymore. ABBA, generally being a POP Disco group, still never contented to be creating Black Music. Just ABAB Music. 5 Starts. And man the Blonde chic is just plain old fashion HOT!!!

  • Oh...Abba was so perfect *-*'

  • Ich liebe Sie Aretha

  • utolérhetetlen!!!!

  • Very good, but sounds better in Therion's performance ;)

  • Nice song!

    Wunderschöner Song!

    Bella canzone!

  • the harmonies at the start are awesome

  • chord changes are so awesome!!!

  • great song

    bella musica

  • like everything they did , this song is a journey . it has great dynamics and is arranged to perfection

  • Linda musica,fã desse eterno Grupo

  • Sou eu muito fã desse eterno grupo......

  • If Jods do exist and the Jod or Jods are female. They will look ,like Agnitha. Blonde and perfect. p.s.

  • incredible song love the vibe
