Abba - Australia

July 2001
With their glittering shows and uplifting music, Abba became a pop phenomenon in the seventies. The band is a major Swedish export more successful than Volvo, a pop music machine virtually rolling in 'Money, Money, Money'.
This report looks back on a fantastic carreer which includes years of touring, crowds of shrieking hysterical fans and the most stunning comeback in pop music's history. Although the band split up in 1984 and vanished from the scene for many years, their music was made popular again by films such as 'Myriam's Wedding' and 'Priscilla: Queen of the Desert'. Now even a musical has been made featuring their greatest hits. At first, former band members were sceptical but 'Mama Mia' turned out to be the hottest show in the West End and in many cities around the world.

The best group ever!!

[B52sguy]

This is just such a fun interview.

It is my belief that ABBA is going to be the "One" group that will be known for 100's of years.  Just brilliant. I am lucky to have seen them live in three different countries, and four shows. Thank you for posting this; I'm just mad at myself for taking so long to find this.

ABBA gives me the rarest of thrills.

Dear Vevo,  Let me start by sayin get your corporate asses off youtube! Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their friggin videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement evry time we include a song we want.

This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you wed go to your damn website.

To people who want greedy corporates gone thumbs up and copy and paste this

When they're talking about the billion-dollar offer Bjorn says that the three of them got together and discussed it. When did ABBA become three? I wonder which of the original four was left out of that discussion.

Benny: "My marriage would have terminated earlier if it wasn't for ABBA." I am now traumatized.

@TheRobertoliveira1 I do not speak, write, or understand Spanish. Why do you put "Robert Faltskog" at the end of your message?

[TheRobertoliveira1]

Concordo com você em GÊNERO, NUMERO E GRAU!!!. Eu era Beatlemaníaco até ouvir essa insuperável Banda por volta de 1974.(não é que eu não aprecie mais os Beatles), Mas os ABBAs são singulares, e continuam até hoje embalando corações de crianças, jovens e velhos. Qualquer Banda COVER que se apresenta aqui em SÃO PAULO (exemplo: THE ABBA MAGIC e ABBA THE SHOW) arrastam mutidões às salas de espetáculos. (sou testemunha ocular, pois sempre estou com minha família na primeira fila).

Robert Faltskog

Lindo, Maravilhoso, Genial, Esplêndido (e outros adjetivos mais) para este vídeo!!!.

E ai eu pergunto: ONDE É QUE EU ESTAVA, QUE SÓ HOJE TOMEI CONHECIMENTO DESSA PRECIOSIDADE??????????????????­?????????

Mas nunca é tarde! Valeu mesmo!!!

Parabéns e obrigado à JOURNEYMANPICTURES

Robert Fältskog

@jrbleau I've heard her pronounce her name on several videos. It's very

consistent: 'aahn-eetha'.

@JokkerrN Everyone has an opinion of that of course, depending on your band allegiance, I saw the Beatles Live in 1967, somehow during the 1970's I thought nothing would ever match them, now I know I was wrong, and it is reasonable to believe Abba was right beside the Beatles at the popularity finish line.

The Beatles, Stones, Doors, Cream, And dozens of other 1960's bands were a hard act to follow, but Abba did it, and I think now the greater world is aware they did it with style and flair.
