Elaine Paige and Tommy Korberg -Mountain Duet - Chess in Concert 1984

Elaine Paige and Tommy Korberg sing 'Mountain Duet' live in Stockholm, 1984.This was part of a televised concert promoting the album 'Chess' with the original LP's cast members.

Other videos are already on Youtube of 'Pity the Child' and 'Nobody's Side'.

Benny and Bjorn of ABBA are in the orchestra and play different roles, such as the piano, the accordion and the typewriters in 'Embassy Lament'. Barbara Dickson apparently took ill during the concert, and didn't sing her role in 'Endgame,' when Karin Glenmark (Anders Glenmark (the Arbiter's) wife), took over and stole the show.

Full tracks in the concert are:

Small correction, Karin Glenmark is not Anders Glenmark's wife but his sister.
