ABBA performing their then recent hit "Fernando" live at the American TV-programme "Midnight Special" in 1976. this on of the rare performances featuring live-vocals. See and listen how Agnetha and Frida perfectly harmonize with each other. This is the full TV-performance, not the edit that is found more often.

Frida's live vocals are out of this world, she completely nails the chorus.

My God This Is AWESOME! Live Performances Are So Rare And Those Vovals Are Spine Tingling With FULL EMOTION! And SO MUCH PASSION! I Would Give Everything To Go Back In Time And See Abba Live

I never get who's singing lead (the one with the high voice) when Agnetha joins Frida in the verses after the solo part...I'd guess it would be Frida, but then her voice sounds much more like Agnetha's than her own "dark sound"..Please, can someone help me to figure this out ? :P

@94mav98 Exactly. Almost no one sang live in the 80's/90's and the fans didn't care. Not anymore. Now if anyone is even suspected of miming or auto-tunning, it's be all over the front page and the fans'd be outraged. The music industry and the fans have both grown in maturity.

@trent8002003 Not just ABBA, but most other bands and artists as well. Singing live on TV shows was not very common. You'd have to go see a proper concert to actually hear them perform live. But it was also assumed that no one was cheating back then. Then came the Milli Vanilli scandal, followed by the introduction of auto-tune in 1997. Today, people have become incredibly cynical of the music business. A mimed performance makes people question a performer. But this wasn't the case back then.

@trent8002003 >>This REALLY is live<<. I agree - I can't believe how much of their "live" stuff was lip-synched. I think I figured out how to tell - it's their vocals. Their accent is more pronounced when they're truly Live. (and the songs don't fade out at the end like they do on the records LOL). but I think there's a studio tape running of the vocals and keyboards. # F A I L

@ninjabluewings Indeed it's a shame I was what I was....I wish i could take all those years back and start again (NOT with today's rap crap though..)
