ABBA : Thank You For The Music (Live Sweden 1981)

Without a song or dance what are we ?
Thank You Agnetha, Björn , Benny & Anni Frid

Stirring version taken from ABBA's last live concert - April 1981 Stockholm, Sweden. Recorded for the Dick Cavett TV Special featuring the group.


I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I can't remember  if i have yet watch this live. So nice!

Well, the original version studio seems very far from this live, althought it 's only 3 years ago.

I wish i saw "The winner take sit all" in live version. I think it doesn't exist...

[2Shaymcn]

@mauvetys Bonsoir Marie A , yes there is a real good spirit here to this live version a little sad too. ABBA please reform and do a live version for Marie et moi !!

We need to hear it live just one time !

[2Shaymcn]

@wafrom Boo hoo no sexy gear for us to drool over either Mike . I guess they wanted to show they were serious musicans too here, especially to the US

Thanks

[AmeBcaBnoA]

Agnetha has a such beautiful voice. I just love her!!!

[supersonrise]

So amazing...they matured splendidly to worldwide mega pop icons, wearing deservedly chic clothing and singing like no one else on the planet can (or ever will, for that matter). From my viewpoint, it would be unfair to the singers of today to compare them to ABBA, whose quality has sadly left everyone else in the dust. Oops.

[Ichisokeno]

From where did you get this in good quality?

[samadams24]

@2Shaymcn Shows what a truly great talent they have. Her voice is terrific and there is no need for any gimmicks!

[qualqui]

(Sighs with a big smile on his mug)Yeah, sweet Aggie's the girl with the golden hair and the AWESOME pair of golden vocal chords,...thumbs up to ya Shay ol' buddy and thankin' ya for an AWESOME UPLOAD!! = )

[wafrom]
