ABBA Reaction Why Did It Have to Be Me? (HIGH ENERGY ABBA!) | Dereck Reacts

[@dennispobletemorales2651]

Frida 1000% energy. The best live performer of Abba. In Studio also, always perfect!.

[@iatinom22]

Frida was the funniest of the group, something curious considering that her life is full of tragedies. Her sense of humor is wonderful.

[@paqui1018]

That's the reason! Sometimes make fun makes your pain less heavy... Believe me 😔I ADORE ANNI-FRID 💕✨

[@ono1dij]

This is really live, and that's why they are SO incredible, Frida was so hot here!!!! And Benny crazy with the piano, Bjorn at his peak, and the rest of the band on fire... Agnetha always took a little rest in this song alive... Love love love it!!!!!!!

[@ipaja5515]

Really? I wonder why.. anyway Frida carried the song well well on her lonesome.

[@birchleaf]

They used to let each girl have one song off during longer sets, so they’d each do a solo song while the other girl had a few minutes off stage. I mean they were both solo artists before the creation of ABBA, so they have no problem owning the stage.

[@ipaja5515]

@birchleaf yeah but why wouldn't they do it for a song where they were singing solo lead vocals on the original song? Seems strange to do a solo on a song that was originally a duet

That's when annetta she kind of give up she was going through everything and at this concert she was locked in her dressing room she wouldn't come out and Freda had to go in she tried to talk to her that's when she had break down and that's sad she has a awesome voice and they have that does Freda has a very good voice too but Freda has more experience than aneta

For those not around at the time... It's Australia, 1977. Anna is back stage changing for the next song.. THIS is the (NOW CLASSIC!) stage performance that scorched Frida indelibly into every male brain that ever saw this. Many consider this her best ever live performance ! Ever see a girl rock a song like this? She was gorgeous, smokin hot, into the song, perfect pitch with arguably one of the best mezzo soprano voices ever, and having the time of her life! The record crowd, all fans, were delirious! If this doesn't get you going, you don't have it nearly loud enough, ...... or you have my deepest sympathy... (!) 12

[@caerphillykid6644]

this goes to show just how good they are live! brilliant

[@chelseacharger]

Agnetha was getting changed for 'The Girl With The Golden Hair' mini-musical part of the show, during this performance. Straight after this, Frida also went backstage to quickly get into an identical outfit. During this time, Benny played the instrumental, Intermezzo No.1. The girls wore outfits including wigs to look like marionettes. From a distance it was hard to tell them apart.

[@Bandido894]

To my knowledge Agnetha was sick during this concert?

[@shadow-js2hn]

She was pregnant

[@resireg]

Not really. If you watch pictures of their performances of thats song in the 1979 tour, Agnetha is never on stage. Frida is always wearing a local sports jersey. It is part of the act

[@123billydog]

Chelseaharger is bang on correct. Why Did It Have To Be Me was vocally performed as a duet by Bjorn (Be Urine!) and Frida during the 77 and 79 tours (though there is no video of the 79 performance officially released). From the rare fan videos that exist as part of that tour, Frida keeps delivering the same high octane performance. Definately one of the best ABBA in concert moments...although the 79 live take on 'Summer Night City' is the finest for me.

[@ccf9908]

It was always a fact that Frida was the stage-beast, she really had fun on stage and with certain shows she would wear the hat or cap from the local football/ baserball clubs, just to add some extra love for the city they would perform at.

I had never listened this version performed in 3 voices (and not 4). Frida's voice is powerfull, awesome, she is the best Abba's voices. She was singing something betwen pop, rock and jazz, diferent styles together along the song. (sorry, my english it not very well, I'm learning)

I sometimes read: ABBA was not a live band, but....look at this !! How Frida enjoyed beeing on stage. I enjoy the live performances more and more, so i am glad you did a reaction to this. "Why did it have to be me" has the same music than "Happy Hawaii" has. Personally i like "Happy Hawaii" a little more, but....this live performance is phenomenal, just like you said.

Frida loved performing on stage, Agnetha was more nervous. LOVE that you are reviewing this live concert. This a film of their Australian tour, the songs sounded amazing. Get on the Carousel & I'm a Marionette in this performance is something I can't stop listening to.

[@TangoEliott]

ABBA the Movie, besides the story line, will offer you many great live performances. The interaction with the audience is fabulous. Frida is the most natural performer of all of them. Whereas Agnetha will tell you she loves recording, Frida loves the stage and the audience. This is how she is. Especially on Dancing Queen. But all are great.

I love this live performance. Frida sounds so good here. She always does. Please react to Tiger from the same concert. Björn was in another band before Abba, called The Hootennanny Singers. It was very popular group in Sweden. Benny was in a band called The Hepstars. They were the biggest band in Scandinavia in their time. Then one time Benny and Björn met and started jamming together. They`ve been the best of friends ever since. And like they say: the rest is music history at it`s best.

[@annelisundkvist]

As @chelseacharger said, Agnetha is out changing. They used this song the same way in their 1979 tour. Agnetha went off the stage, and the rest of the group did this song. Then Frida and Björn went off and Benny did Intermezzo No 1 on his own. Agnetha came back, Benny went out to change and Agnetha sat down at the piano and did one of her own songs 'I'm Still Alive'. A fantastic song that she never recorded in the studio, but is preserved in the bands from some of the concerts.

[@markcreek487]

This clip was from ABBA The Movie - the picture you have behind you- which was made during their 1977 tour of Australia. The concerts started with Tiger which is the first song in the movie - in the pouring rain- towards the end they did a mini musical called The Girl With The Golden Hair. that contained 4 songs - Agnetha was of stage getting ready for this and Frida goes off in the next

Dear Dereck. Thankz a lot for reacting to this wonderful live performance. When they recorded the song in the studio, both girls sang the female parts but during the ABBA tours, the song was transformed as a duett between Bjorn and Frida. Thats why Agnetha is not to be seen here.

Let me tell you Dereck that you've called this music anything but what it really is Pure Rock & Roll and they do it fantatically. They started out in 1974 with their Waterloo and it was called pure R&R Revival.They have been true to that kind of music. Even Just a Notion is Rock & Roll. Just listen to the intro!

[@The_Jupiter2_Mission]

The Australian Tour is the best in terms of their live sound. They had a full orchestra as opposed to the much paired down subsequent tours. You should check out other stuff from the tour. I'm a Marionette from the tour will give you a kick. Also Carousel which was never recorded and bit found its way into Hole in Your Soul. Now as to live sound. They did have to do some overdubs in the studio for the film . I don't know if it was some or all. Some of the sound quality was not sufficient for the film and had to be remixed. There are bootlegs on youtube of songs from the Australian Tour taken by the audience. Being 1977, fans did not have access to the recording facilities of today and they will sound likely quite muffled and tinny. As to giving away age, I was there at the rainy Sydney concert where Frida fell over.

[@simonjackson8804]

I've never heard this before...I was too young to ever see ABBA live, mainly because my parents would never have let me go on my own as a young teenager, and it would have been in a different city. But this is so much more spontaneous and lively than the studio version: given that it's live, it's surprising that the vocals sound so much stronger. Happy Hawaii - it has to be said that, if you listen to it, you'll realise why it got binned...

This is such a cool song and Frida does have a good voice she started when she was really young it was almost like Opera but in their native language so she's been doing this for a while I think she's actually older than Anita but she's still good looking🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My father used to play saxophone in dance bands.... in the 1930s. So not just 80's , but I know what you mean. Each decade has it's own styles.

One of the things I love about ABBA is that they set the rythym of their music combining keyboards, guitars and sometimes saxophones, rather than just guitars. It gives the music a more engaging and softer feel than just roaring metal. It is one of the things that makes their music so popular. This particular song is one of the best of their “ B” side songs. You should ck out the namesake song of this album” Arrival”. It is a stirring instrumental that is so beautiful it can make the hair on your arms stand up. Unlike anything else ABBA has done.

It was supposed to have an almost Fats Domino feel (50s rock). He was the artist who did "I'm Walking" and "Blueberry Hill".

[@herrbonk3635]

Perhaps. Did Benny say that? (Fats Domino was at least one of the (many) "missing" links between swing jazz and it's younger and more immature sibling rock&roll :D)

Wieder was von ABBA und Dereck, gleichermaßen schön anzusehen!!! Das ist immer ein Highlight für mich,da kommt Freude auf 👍👍👍 I Love it ‼️ Agnetha war da nicht zu sehen, eventuell fühlte sie sich nicht so, denn wenn mich nicht alles täuscht,war sie da mit ihren Sohn Peter- Christian, schwanger!!! Sie ist ja in dem Film auch nicht auf's Pferd gestiegen,sondern nur nebenher gelaufen. Da muss man schon ab und an etwas zurück stecken. Ansonsten eine Coole Performance von Frida und Björn und natürlich Benny,wie er in seine Tasten haut -- fantastic -- fantastic!! Dereck ist auch wieder richtig begeistert, wenn er sich erstmal die Live Version von Hole And Your Soule '79 aus der Wembley Arena zu Gemüte führt, na dann geht aber die Post ab 👌👌👌👏👏👏‼️ DANKE für die tolle Session,freue mich schon auf die nächste ✌️🙋‼️
