You can't go wrong with Abba. I was there at Wembley and it was the best concert I ever saw. I'm in my 60's and over the years have seen many performers, but no one has come close to Abba.

I suppose you wasn't able to appreciate how lucky you were. Simply envy you.

As a 13 year old I was so excited that I got to touch the car they were all sitting in lol. I have Agnethas signature which I still treasure to this day.

At 8:23 the bell lets AGNETHA know the note she has to hit at 8:39 ,and she NAILS IT a F-6, So high that the recording equipment at the time misses the middle and capturing only the start and ending of her FLASETTO, The greatest range of a POP singer B2 -F7 in over forty years.

[@stefanconradsson]

Live music man. I am a Heavy Metal fan, but holy h*ll, ABBA delivered the goods here. They were not a studio product the way people generally believed at the time and still do .. they each toured extensively before they were famous. Agnetha started at 17yrs under the supervision of her father I think. They KNEW how to play live. Oh man I miss live music, there is nothing better than to lose yourself completely at a concert .. pure ecstasy .. It is obvious the band enjoyed playing. Cheers man 🍺

Ich war schon in Sorge, dass da nicht's mehr nach kommt, aber Gott sei Dank hat DERECK wieder was raus gesucht und dann gleich zwei so Imposante Kracher !!! 👍👍👍 Vorallem HOLE IN YOUR SOLE, in der Live Version, hatte es mir schon immer angetan.

The energy is through the roof, good stuff, great musicians!✌🕺🇸🇪❤ Btw, if you like ABBA's stage costumes - they're created by zoologist Owe Sandström who designed ALL ABBA's stage outfits while working as a high school teacher, went with them on tour in the 70's and then returned to his job as a teacher. He still works as a teacher and teach about animal and about the respect of animals. There's a lot of material of him as such here on KZbin👍 Please give him all your love, he's a typical humble and kind Swedish not making any noise about himself and his achievements❤🇸🇪

Summer Night City from the same concert is the only other thing comparable. Followed by Why Did it Have to Be Me from Abba the Movie.

[@christine3043]

AꓭBA was a great live band. I hate when people say otherwise. Perhaps they are used to watching their favourites lip synch at “live” concerts. Gimme Gimme Gimme at this concert is brilliant.

[@herrbonk3635]

13:42 That other young pianist is Anders Eljas. He was also something of "musical secretary" in later projects, helping writing down Benny's improvisations and arrangements. Their bass player Rutger Gunnarson (kissed by Frida here) had a similar role during the Abba years.

[@OperaJH]

Derek, you are so funny in this clip! You got me cracking up! In a good way, of course! Enjoyed this tremendously! 😁

[@kwchalky02]

Yeah fantastic! They have so much in their repertoire. Amazing that they can do great fun high energy songs like these and also brilliant darker emotional songs like The Winner Takes it All and The Day Before you Came.

[@manfredseis5492]

ABBA is a studio band on the other hand there is so much quality in the band and the musicians who are in the background that you can't easily say that they are only top in the studio. In an interview about Tour 78/79, the Tour Manager said that Abba wanted the best for this tour in terms of technology and what was on the market at the time.

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

Loved this reaction. Have you done 'I have a dream' live from the same 1979-concert? They were also great live in the Dick Cavett tv-show from 1981, less visual energy, Frida seemed sad (just right after Benny left her), but wonderful vocal performances in for instance 'Me and I', 'Summer Night City' and 'Super Trouper'.

[@claudioculpi1628]

Frida and Agneta rocking their beautiful vocals in the live shows Frida's voice always stood out more

[@TangoEliott]

In order to get the wall of sound effect that they had on recorded songs they had to have multiple instruments. I hope you continue so I can consider going back. I really do. I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do.

[@edned5504]

I expected you to go bananas with Hole in Your Soul. It's very upbeat and happy.... or is it? Like most Abba songs it has a darker message: "You paint your world and use all colours And then you find it all comes out too bright You know it's only a lie The songs you sing are too romantic And when you want the truth They only spit in your eye Oh yeah, they're only telling you lies" That bridge is amazing. Wow. Your life of excess isn't true. But when you want the truth, no one gives it to you. What a performance, what a song, what delivery. Yeah, it was all right for sure.

[@Dixie.M]

Been waiting for you to react to this performance for ages - I knew you’d love it. So so good!! 🙌

[@123billydog]

Pleased you mention ABBA's studio musicians Dereck, many of whom toured with them. Your correct it is the late Ola Brunkert on drums and you briefly see Frida dance with bass guitarist, the late Rutger Gunnarrsson, both extremely talented musicians who play on most of ABBA's records. During the Does Your Mother Know guitar solo Agnetha and Frida wrap themselves around guitarist Lasse Wellander who was another very regular musician ABBA worked with in the studio.

[@resireg]

The bassplayer dan be seen supporting agnetha faltskog in her solo career, like in the heat is on video
