[@roguetrooper70]

First song I heard from ABBA and will always remember this song. At maybe 1/10 of a second at 02:12 Agnetha has her eyes closed while biting her lower lip. With a good set of cans on your head, now close your eyes.. listen and you..hear..Raw Unpolished ABBA, which sounds absolutely beautiful...not knowing their destiny and how there music will influence the next artist.. Madonna's "Hung Up" is the first song that comes to mind. In 1977 "Ring, Ring, Knowing me Knowing you & Dancing Queen" thanks to my Mom whom gave me my very own, first vinyls which were 45s but at that age..coolest thing that happened..the only thing I would wish for to could go back to.... 13 Sept 1979. ABBAs North American Tour Edmonton, AB, CA Commonwealth Stadium...the opening city and the only time " One man & One woman" was ever performed during their tour..and the kicker.. I lived about 6 blocks away.. would have been the most memorable birthday 30 Sept 1970 anyone could have asked for..

If I'm not mistaken, the vocals are live - but I think the instruments were prerecorded on a backing track that they are singing over.

[@flamencoprof]

@@chuckschillingvideos Maybe that's why we can't see the piano, bass and saxophone players? :-)

[@chuckschillingvideos]

@@flamencoprof That stands to reason! I suppose that they could be concealed behind a curtain, but the smart money says no!

[@flamencoprof]

@@chuckschillingvideos It's a whole can of worms. Like when the Beatles gave up touring live shows, made recordings only possible to make in a studio, yet still made videos to illustrate the recordings. IMO it's not cheating, it's just Art. TV shows with instruments not plugged in go back to the Fifties. I don't mind, but in my Playlists, I favour actual live performances, Even Pop artists like Taylor Swift can show they are themselves Musicians. and not backing track posers.

This is a completely different arrangement probably by Ronnie Aldridge with the show band not Abba's now listen to the single or album version, which was originally recorded in 1973.

[@Keithbarber]

Plenty of horns on the accompanying music arrangement with saxophone 🎷 in the chorus

[@petesmith9472]

Without the tech support they sound like party singers ….that’s 50 years ago!!!

[@KnockAndAskToday]

I was thinking the same, then I thought the distorted guitar and sax were mixed waaaayyy too loud so its hugely diatracting. The two girls don't seem to be able to sync up their voices proberly, like their timing is off because they probably cant hear each other over those overly loud backing instruments.

​@@dumfriesspearhead7398 Sorry if I sounded a bit repressed, I was aiming for a bit of humourous fashion criticism. I'm from NZ. At the time we had only one music video show on TV, an hour long, screened weekly. It favoured Rock over Pop, and was creatively titled "Radio With Pictures". I was well aware of the male "Glam Rock" style, though not a fan of the style, nor the music. Soooo, I had never seen this manifestation of ABBA until now. I do rate them as one of the Greats of Pop music.
