Ace of Base Voulez Vous Danser

[mulleoops]

My youth. Heard this track over and over at private parties held in early 1993.

[horseboyken]

for a band that had no industry backing or outside financing this is very good and the raw talent with no pro-tools or pre recorded vocals this is very good 18 years later it stills holds up

[appletisha27]

love this song... ACE OF BASE rocks!! yeahhhh

[willa435]

this is so cool,i didnt know ace of base played this kind of disco tune,

[josephsilva714]

this band got me through jr high :) 1993 was awesome!

[BRAVOcioric]

"FUMATUL NE UCIDE MAI TINERI"

[Arinozian]

It really blows me away that this vid is still getting current comments!

I get that some people see this as a weak performance, but what you may not get is that this was the first international concert of an otherwise inexperienced, independent band. Picture getting on stage with siblings and acquaintances in a foreign country and putting on a show with absolutely no Industry experience and a personally-financed budget. Their raw talent alone made them popular because that was all they had

[maksphoto78]

wow, first time I see them playing live, and their vocals suck.

[jordimla]

On the original Swedish release of their debut album, it was Linn alone singing this song.

[byunka4]

@jordimla Hei! how can i get this version.Is it available somewhere???

[camwardnumber30]

@jordimla Iam no sure that she sing in first versiom alone, is it true?

[jordimla]

@camwardnumber30 yes, in the original Swedish release, Linn alone sings this song.

[byunka4]

@jordimla Not true. In their first demo this song is sang by Jenny only-not Linn.It is available online somewhere.

[hollowropes]

Wow, it seems like Linn had to step in and save the song.

[clara2506]

I don't think they sing bad it never would be the same live..at least its their real voice yeah!!! merci Ace of Base Jadore cette chanson trop super!!! je veut danser oui =)

[jeridmark]

Jenny.....once again Linn had to carry you vocally!

[boanys]

great 

[kolos2006]

Capes???WTF???CAPES?????HAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

[boilyourshorts]

I see this was uploaded 2006 but when was this show recorded??

[Arinozian]

@boilyourshorts This show was recorded in Riga in '93. AoB paid their own budget, coming up with their live act independently. They payed for their own sound system and toured around the world in a van with amateur recording and audio equipment. This was the first time Latvia held a concert of a band originating outside their own country. Youtubers may find this concert lacking by modern terms, but it was a huge step for establishing a non-bizz band not through connections, but through talent.

[puchoinger]

What a days I love just to remember those days in the glorious 90's

[SuperPatasa7]

ajajaj esos trajes que gracioso!

[rofflez4u]

i say they sing rather well.

it's utterly live. I'd like to see them Britneys and all to do better.

[pepecz666]

lol, they sing so bad:D at least this concert is not playbacked, not like nowadays

[EndlessDecember]

Yea but there are tons of things to factor in really.The sound back then wasnt as good as it is now and also it could have been hard to hear themselves making it harder to hit the right pitches. In either case they dont sound as good as the cd hahaha. but atleast its not play backed your right about that!

[KeuleHautBeule]

no? the album happy nation is from 1994, any questions? ^^

other time, other concerts then today.

[amberelix]

I cant even figure who's who or what they're doing.

[emko75]

ouch ...way out of sync.....too euro too gay

[gail89]

I love ace of base

trying to find thier album on HMV

[lisababy85]

have you tried amazon?

[amberelix]

If im supposed to actually be able to hear the song and see whats going on, then this video has NOT fulfilled its purpose.

[kolos2006]

This is so bad it actually hurts.

[BillyGnosis69]

yea this does kinda suck....

[Naujlo]

They sound bad in this video! wow.

[noelchichirodriguez]

CHECK THEM out!! Wow! LOL!! I used to dance my ass off playing this song in 1993 LOL!

[naishout]

Oui, je veux bien danser avec vous 2 !!!

[elie721]

Linn is definitely a better, stronger, singer then Jenny. I noticed she carried those notes more, as in the original song then Jenny did. Jenny may love to sing, but Linn is the singer. Too damn bad she's no longer with them. But after reading about her departure and imagining her state of mind, I guess I couldn't blame her. In that case leaving the group is better then a tragic death!! Ace of Base 4 Ever!

[natalitza17]

they don't sound that great :((

[ktm125sx06]

wow they are singing but what do u expect from dance music of the mid 90's... bad music videos, bad concerts like a ricky martin concert. but awesome beats if u close your eyes.

[kolos2006]

It's so bad it's goodlol

[maserus83]

Świetne :D

[Boozikan]

ok ill admit that this aint there best show lol :S but for u 1st tymers, dnt be put off, check anuva verion or a dif song of thrs lol, they really are fu*&in amazin :D n most of thr songs u cud even get away with blastin em out ful volume tday. there that gd lol :D

[liebheart]

i've seen worse..MUCH worse,and recently which makes it even worse lol

[puchoinger]

But they rule no matter waht a cock suker like you say

[liebheart]

uhh the big boy can say bad words! where did you learn that? special school? Get a life you fuckin retard! i love ace of base and my comment was responding to someone else who said it was the worse,but i'll give it to you,you probably can't even read properly,sad little thing.

[puchoinger]

Yes You're so right! and I could say more than that if you put me to the test.... listen I just thought that you were insulting ACE OF BASE that's why I say all those words to you cos if can't read I said THEY RULE so I have no need to tell you that I love them too I¨m sorry if I insulted you cos I thougt wrong o.k.... I¨m enough man to admint my mistakes I do not know about the others so.... and I keep saying they rule and I can much worse than before if someone says bad things bout them

[AlbanianBarbie143]

This is not Ace of Base. girls here are too fat. Ace of Base girls are real good shape

[moninpr]

[XanthyaLy]

[moninpr]

habia otro grupo parecido q sono con una sola cancion, la primera vez q los escuche pense q eran ellos pero no fue asi eran otros pero solo tubieron una cancion famosa, alguien sabe como se llamaba???? algo asi creo como la cancion del verano o algo por el estilo

[mysticalwoodsman]

They filmed this in their garage with two high powered camp flashlights. :o)

[burnniz]

You fools,of course they re just young here at the video and still amateurs.But now they are professionals..

[jaseywasey49]

whwn was this filmed

[ten6cha]

it sounds out of synch lolz

[bagelj]

Welcome to live music, dude.

[ElectricShark]

I love the lyrics to this song.

[SirrAlex9]

Даёшь СВЕТ!!!? LOL!!!

[SirrAlex9]

shitties singing ... is this 1995? Microphones with hose ....

[SirrAlex9]

shittiesT

[SirrAlex9]

obviously, they were very nervious, VERY nervious. Listen to them and will catch that.

[DominikChlubna]

I think Malin is a great singer, but the song here looks a little bit improvised, not well planned as other stars would do it.

[sebaisladecap]

los amo! y aunque en esta canción no cantan también, no está mal tampoco. por lo menos hicieron playback.

[ayeamex]

poor girls i bet their record company made them do that. i'm sure they'd much rather not have to dance and weird those stupid costumes. they still sound great though.

[NastyNatey]

this music reminds me of those casio keyboards where you press different keys and the key of the song changes..

[gilbynziggy]

this is my favorite song off of "The Sign"... they're ruining it.

Damn it. I love Ace of Base, but now i know they were a shitty group to see live. Yikes...

[dena81]

It may not sound as great as the cd but I give them props for not taking the Britney Spears way out.

[Mnupo]

They are much better nowadays, they are touring through the world in the moment and working on a new album. Sparks is one of their new songs, on youtube you can watch a live performance.

[Nfinity82]

Ekberg...

[Nfinity82]

Jonas Berggren...the blonde on the left is Ulf Ekber...he's hot too:)

[stefanheikel]

Who's that first guy on the piano (to the left from the viewer's perspective)? He's hot!!!!

[oMQaMMaZaT]

they suck at dancing...they should stick to singing onlyyyyyyyyyyyyy and let the dancers dance..dont u think the song is a bit ironic when they have no clue what dancing is? lol

[kainswor9170]

Yeah they werent really dancing it was more like walking around aimlessly lol.

[robbie23m]

why the hell thay are dancing like that??? its weird

[blondedude1979]

Wow a rare performance of ace of base performing live damn.. not bad

[Raphaelz1]

Well, their albums are great!!!!!!!!! Good light show.

Love and light!

[kingpopik]

cnh`vyj

[mister0zero]

no one is as good live usually, especially nowadays. people are too used to the plush studio where they can fix their vocals.

this isn't nearly as bad as some of the newer singers I've seen today singing live on tv and stuff.

[ImaginaryGallery]

GARBAGE is! they have the best TECHNOLOGY which translates well on stage!

[Arinozian]

lol, what is this a campaign? you forgot to put "translates" in quotation marks this time...

[ImaginaryGallery]

Love ace of base...Love garbage...

[elmoheb]

the best but not in live

iam shoked

[darkivygmail]

they r very bad live, sorry! :)

[sssc63]

My favourite Band! I'm Zoli from Hungary. I like the ACE OF BASE. ACE OF BASE FOREVER!!!!! All the best from Hungary! Zoli

[beaudz93]

This group ,not in the same league with their swedish counterparts ABBA,NOT EVEN CLOSE.

[moderndesignworks]

Holly crap, this is bad!!!..........LOL

[Xerock]

wow.. their vocals aren't nearly as impressive live.

Also, wtf is up with the capes?

[Arinozian]

lol, they had even stranger costumes before they got big. They don't always match the vocals of the albums, but sometimes they top them. They tended to be sort of up-and-down performers. Jenny was especially weak at the beginning, Linn usually having more strong moments.

[pawertec]

opala gol fusca cor-ceu chevette tipo omega palio macdonalds etc...........

[Laptitepuce57]

My fav Group !

[Elianinhosa]

Voulez-vous danser avec moi ce soir?

[charisaob]

thats the worst vocals i ve heard in my life from pro singers. Thats why nobody hear from them anymore . I was one of their greatest fans for some years..

[aliciabea27]

I love this concert in riga!! I love hn remix!!!

[westindude]

i grew up with ace of base...they are awsome! still to this day i still have 2 of there cds in my car and i play them and my girlfriend gets pissed!

[sick79]

ace of base the best in the world.

[lekaino]

Una copia barata de Abba, cuando estuvieron en el Festival de Viña en Chile casi hubo ke llevarles un tubo de oxigeno para ke no se murieran en el mismo escenario.

[aliciabea27]

why you not say in english? I was there in the chilean festival!! and aob was so great!!! and Jenny was so sick. (by oxigen she needed)..stupid, speaks in english!! I?m chilean girl.

[ElPeruanoUFO]

filmaste part del concierto?

[mycatguero]

oye , y si eres de chile y entiendies espanol, para que quieres que lo ponga en ingles?

[aliciabea27]

No era para ti, era para "LEKAINO" que puso que era una copia barata de abba--etc.

[karinaucv]

the brunette was sick! too much she did to be there for the long time they had to sing..i still wonder why ppl bothers to watchstuff they dont like, and waste time even making comments here!

[scarpelli]

I love Linn's voice in the time!

[goooooooozpich]

goo video

[Arinozian]

sorry it's cut off, but that's all I have

[weirdstuff42long]

Nice Vid, but would you be able to show how Ulf introduced Linn too?

[ElPeruanoUFO]

he probably grab her ass.

[Oceanmelo]

It's rare! Thanks a lot for the video!

[mistermendoza]

wot an odd performance!! =/

[alexnasralla]

This is Waaaayyyy too much like ABBA. Still cool and  good memories. Thanks for posting!
