ABBA : Summer Night City ( Live Stockholm '81) Full Version 5.25

Stereo here http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=26h9S392G4E&fmt=18
Great live rockin' version here from Stockholm in 1981 and shown as part of the Dick Cavett TV Special
I combined a couple of clips to make a complete version of the performance

Summer night city...
Summer night city...
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free
Aa-ahhh
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breathe and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
It's elusive party feeling
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks told me see them in it
We don't miss them when they're gone
Another feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow, when it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
(repeat 2x and fade)

[2Shaymcn]

Sure are Agnetha, they could rock out with the best

[dholm13]

Great post Shay! The girls look spectacular in HD, and they are singing as great as they ever did, maybe better! Great performance! Thanks for posting!

This is an absolutley fantastic song. I have been listening to this in the car recently and it is structurally so strong. It has a momentum of its own that just takes you higher and higher. It is interesting to hear the girls sing this live too - without the studio tweaking - I honestly think these two are some the best women singers. They are very different to the out of control modern warblers or rappers, but if you want a lesson in singing technique then you need look no further...

I agree, this version is great. But, well you can see cleraly the fire is gone from their faces. It was such a shame they fell apart like that.

Agnetha is sooooooooooo cure and flirty here. That's it.....I'm flying over to Sweden and marrying her once and for all.

The one disliker must be a Bieber fan.

@ayeupmeduck2 ABBA were all technically gifted musicians, but the girls were possibly the best female singers in the World, as you say. Very few vocalists get close in my opinion.

[SuperPrivate2011]

This concert was in the year I was born. 30 years since ABBA split up.

[salemthemerciless]

at 2:25 the volume changes abruptly and becomes less sharp . ?

[TheJanoska]

this is rocking..... brings a tear to the eye too..... :)

[henhorst]

Good clip. Well done.

[SuperDrJeckyl]

It's criminal this is not on DVD. One of the best concerts in history. Even though they are a little stiff around each other, the performances are just breathtaking.

I love seeing Ms. Perfect Agnetha and Frida obviously leaning on each other for support.

They really captured the magic here. Flawless.

My fav ABBA song!

@20musicislife05 back in 1981 that's the height of fashion. i daresay these outfits are very much in vogue again.
