ABBA - Dancing Queen Reaction | First Performance Ever!

[@ReactToTheWorld]

Enjoy while you can. The original vid taken down 😰 Lulu's Fantasy Show: linktr.ee/clueless_lulu John X Lulu Wicked Fun: linktr.ee/johnxlulu

[@theresenydahl9531]

It was probably taken down by SVT, the Swedish Public Broadcasting who filmed and owns the official rights to the gala. They are usually not fussy though, could have been KZbin too which is far more strict.

Gah!

[@martinfranzen9151]

King and Queen of Sweden was watching and ABBA bowed for them.

[@absolutmichel6]

WHEN THE KING THE QUEEN IS IN THERE, YOU MUST CHOW SOME RESPECT. AND ABBA WAS LIVE IN THE SHOW .....

[@IloveAutumn-b5p]

absolutmichel6- exactly and it was 1976.

[@JonathanIngbretson002]

I smile every time I see/hear them

[@staffanwesterberg9301]

This was a tribute to the swedish king and queen when they had got married in 1976

[@wawa2]

Fun thing is, Frida (the red head / brunette) became a princess in real life!!

[@mre872]

No she didn’t

What I love about this video is how the band is constantly looking at the Royal box and smiling every time there is a "king" or "queen" mentioned in the lyrics. 🙂 And yes, this is on the eve of the King's wedding, so queen-less Sweden was just about to get a new Queen. Great song selection from ABBA. Could only be better if Freddie and his boys were there as well. :D :D

Love ABBA 😍

It's the First live perfomance, but the third time ABBA performing "Dancing Queen" Here to the Swedish Kings in June 18 (1976) First was at Australia in March 1976, to TV special 'ABBA in Australia': kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ6tlY2jiLehe6M Second was at Germany in March 1976, to TV special in Musikladen 'The best of ABBA' (but was filmed in January 1976): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aV68l4qka9qeoac

Wow, ur like an ABBA historian!

[@pia-lottabergqvist5675]

Saw this! Was 19 years old! Will never forget who I react! Wonderful!!!!

[@peterivarsson6819]

I knew ABBA was big in the world with its sound, but seeing so many people get touched by their music really does me a stir in my soul! When they made their breakthrough in the 1970s, the media did not exist in this way as it does today. When I look at different reactions, I get warm in my heart and have little hope for humanity. That when the music can unite is incredibly wonderful. If any group can do this, it's ABBA with its catchy music. Greetings from Sweden!

[@ullis5125]

It was a performance for Swedish king and queen… don’t think they was allowed freak out 🤣

[@petergala2147]

Hey guys see ABBA show in Poland and judge it. I'm looking forward to it . I'm serious ,!!

[@loevet2]

I was 12 years old and watched this on TV. There were opera singers and a lot of classical music - and ABBA. They were stars in Sweden already, but other countries had not discoverd them yet.

[@theresenydahl9531]

A cool performance all things considered and a very precious clip, should be an official one but it's owned by SVT which filmed it. It was part of a gala performance in honour of and tribute to the Queen to be and our monarchy, I remember watching it live as a child. ABBA's song at the Swedish Royal Opera House was most likely the only non classical music bit of it so that's why it's a little bit stiff. We have a very modern monarchy, a performance today would have been way more creative. Another thing to keep in mind - ABBA was not very well received by a very politically left political climate in Sweden at the time, they were regarded as too commercial and pop was a capitalist thing to some🙄 ABBA was never really big in Sweden so that's why the group was so happy (and surprised) the new songs were so well received by the Swedish audience. It was the first time Queen Silvia met ABBA, she has been close friends with Annifrid/Frida ever since. Speaking about nobility and monarchy - Annifrid/Frida came from very difficult beginnings and is today Princess Anni-Frid, Dowager Countess of Plauen, also the richest in the group. Madonna did a one time MTV performance in similar costumes, I always wondered if she was inspired by this performance because she's a big ABBA fan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooXEiaeNjLdkbKM

I Loved ABBA way back in the 70s when Disco was Hot!! and Now More than Ever! I was born in 1950 same as Ms. agnetha fältskogh Love your reactions

You should do gimme gimme gimme live at wembley 79..A great song live and you can hear the power in Agnetha singing..Love from sweden🇸🇪

[@mikesmithson6805]

This is the world premiere of the song.

[@martinandersson9020]

[@badlongon525]

Frida is a real princess. She later married the prince of Germany. Even until now, although the prince already died, she still holds that title.

[@eduardooscar309]

Another comment I give to You two request: 1) the First live perfomance and worldwide premier of "Waterloo", in the Eurovision Song Contest at UK in April 6 (1974), when ABBA win between 17 songs of all Europe, and begin to be famous: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXfWh5iDr5Z5a8U 2) the First live perfomance and worldwide premier of "Chiquitita", in the Concert for Unicef at United Nations (U.S.) in January 9 (1979), when ABBA donated their royalties to UNICEF in the 'International Year of the Childs' kzbin.info/www/bejne/noivm4Spe7yLmMk I think that these two, with the perfomance of Dancing Queen to the Swedish Kings, are the three Most Important act of ABBA history

[@mattejohansson6724]

And all is live🙂

[@tolaglende]

The real Queen of Sweden was there you know.

[@akeke1]

And the KING

[@theresenydahl9531]

@@akeke1 Exactly - first and foremost the King and she was not yet Queen, it was a pre wedding gala.

[@paulecrosby2006]

The girls look so beautiful ♥

[@katarinakoubrously6739]

Another royal nice clip is when the prince of Sweden Carl Philip marry Sofia, the song Joyful in the church. A little bit special.

[@rev.paull.vasquez4001]

My current favorite is probably “Take a Chance on Me,” but it switches around.

[@christinesalomonsson1082]

My current is "Slipping through my fingers" because I am in that phase now.

[@rev.paull.vasquez4001]

@@christinesalomonsson1082 I hadn’t heard that one yet, so Alexa is helping me out. :-)

It would be fun if the king and Queen of Sweden went up dancing, I mean it’s dancing “queen”

She's got to much plastic she can hardly walk.

Wouldn't be as cool as princess Diana dancing to dirty Diana at a Jackson concert 🤣👏

Chiquitita next?

[@MrSmriley]

But you got the wrong clip. This video just has the album track over the top of it. No vocals or music is live.

[@mikaeljuntti3306]

why do you say like that its aore swedish king and vi love him. his a wounderful man

[@hanseriksson2989]

Because you are American, you do not understand. In front of the king and queen, respect and reverence are shown. Why many Americans make fun of royalty is sooo obvious .......... Jealous!

[@IloveAutumn-b5p]

hanseriksoon2989- you can always tell who the Americans are overseas😅

[@jari2018]

Why would you listen to their biggest hit first - their other songs would be measured by that . Lay your hands on me or The day before you came are as good if not better.
