ABBA - Slippin Through My Fingers Live Reaction!

[@robertdinmore1971]

Ignore those negative comments, don’t stop this journey, ABBA are amazing and so many great songs still to visit.

[@musicaficionado2974]

Amazingly, ABBA sound great both live and in studio versions, which cannot be said about some other bands. Thanks.

[@flemmingkristoffersen1896]

Yes, this was indeed a live performance by ABBA in 1981. It is taken from a Dick Cavett TV Special where the four of ABBA were interviewed by Dick Cavett, and they performed several songs live. Both some old ones, and then some new at the time still not released songs from The Visitors Album, among others this one, and Two For The Price Of One.

[@Muckylittleme]

I think my favourite performance of "SOS" was from this show 1975. That would make a good reaction.

[@alexioverdo5225]

I love Frida's falsettos in the 2nd verse and Agnetha's tender caressing gentleness while delivering her lead.Such a loving beautiful song.

[@mikesmithson6805]

This song blew up on tiktok, GenZs and millenials really took this song to heart

[@evedavey2475]

Yes its a live show ❤❤❤

[@alexioverdo5225]

[@terrykemp1876]

I've watched all your ABBA reactions. You're doing fine.

[@annelisundkvist]

This is the live version. Don't worry, you're doing fine! It is hard to find live recordings sometimes; so much has been overdubbed or was never performed live because of the standards of many TV shows in the 70s. If you want to experience ABBA live: Eurovision 1974, parts of the Australian tour (ex Fernando, I Wonder, Get On The Carousel), Wembley 1979,), Live in Japan (TV shows 1978 and tour 1980), Dick Cavett show 1981 (this clip is from that show, Swedish TV show Nöjesmaskinen 1982 (Thankyou for the music) + bits and pieces.,

Another fun one is the official video of "When i kissed the teacher"

[@kir250305]

All ABBA songs are great, regardless is it live or recorded. Don't worry! 😊 Thanks for reaction!

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

This is it! (Totally live!😀) Beautiful song. Written by Björn and with Agnetha on leading vocals, inspired by their daughter (Linda Ulveus (51)). Nice react, Lil mann ✌️ Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍

[@alexandresousa338]

6:31 that look was funny haha, If you watch other live performances you will notice that she does often lol

[@eduardooscar309]

What a great pleasure! You did an emotional reaction today And of ABBA songs most emotionals and specialy it is one of my request Thanks again for doing it (and yes, it is the live perfomance that I cited) "Slipping through my fingers" (1981) is in my opinion the most testimonial and experiential song by ABBA This lyrics are very deep, about the growth of a son and how those moments of time go by day by day the guitarist Björn writes it about her 7/8 year old daughter (two years after his break up as a couple with the blonde singer Agnetha) and Agnetha sings it with specialy feeling of mother Sometimes it could be related to "The winner takes it all", because it has as protagonists Björn and Agnetha too But there are differences between the two stories: 1) that is the figurative story about a divorce (although probably with parts of the reality that Agnetha and Björn lived), but this is a story inspired by the daily lives of parents 2) this does not arouse the morbidity of the leading couple, it is an intimate story of parents and children that generates tenderness and nostalgia 3) perhaps this one does not have the usual catchy refrains of ABBA or a powerful melody like that, here its melody is soft, cared for and intimate, it accompanies without invading the wonderful emotional interpretation of Agnetha, that always shines much more when the song asks to express the feelings (you can see it in her facial expretions and gestures) In short, it's a beautiful song by melody and interpreter lyrics, it touches the most intimate fibers of emotion and nostalgia, it's in my Top 20 of all ABBA songs and in my Seven Wonders of Agnetha lead in ABBA songs three dates more about "Slipping throug my fingers" 1) it was recorded by ABBA in spanish too : "Se me esta escapando" 2) it was a single only in Japan, as a only side single, as you show in the cover of these video 3) it was one of the most important songs in the movie "Mamma Mia" (a story with all ABBA songs) Thanks again for these great reaction I like so much that you love ABBA music reaction after reaction I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs my best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina South America

[@sehnbadt]

I have never seen this video. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. The guitar solo is nice in that song 😊

[@helenpeterson]

What @MrSafety-1969 said, a performance I keep asking for that will not disappoint. We love your ABBA reactions so please dont stop.

[@MrSafety-1969]

If you want some great live ones, try "Does your mother know" and "Hole in your soul" live at wembley in 1979. And dont be sorry! We love your Abba reactions!

[@josefinelagerstrom2643]

It's indeed live. This is Björn's favorite Abba song. It's about his and Agnetha's daughter Linda. ❤

[@egb4828]

You're doing a great job, keep it up!! And this is the right video! Don't get discouraged by comments!

[@LilmannReacts]

Thank you so much!

[@evedavey2475]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

[@evedavey2475]

When i kissed the teacher with official video in the classroom is a funny one ❤❤❤

[@6549Marci]

Hey Lil mann, don't give up on ABBA! I believe I speak for everyone when I say we didn't want you to feel bad about your song and video choices. I understand your frustration, but our comments are not meant to discourage you. We have a more profound knowledge and want to share it with you. We all have different favorite songs or videos, so you will see many reactions to the song you reacted to. You'll get used to it 🤣 No matter what, ABBA fans won't let you down, I guarantee you.

[@alexioverdo5225]

So true,I second that.

[@LilmannReacts]

[@YesThatNeal]

You're doing a fantastic job! There will always be keyboard warriors who have nothing better to do than criticize others. Stay on this path!

[@pcch7831]

It is definitely a live video, from a special Dick Cavett show recorded in Stockholm. They played for about 30-40 minutes iirc. Great song, one of their best written songs imo. As for their videos, the safe bet is just to check their official channel. I think they have all the music videos on there but they don't have all the live performances.

[@galigali7830]

❤ ABBA FOREVER

[@MF62]

Enjoying your abba reactions here. You can’t please everyone all the time, don’t worry about it. Did you know that abba has a Spanish album too? I would highly recommend Chiquita in the Spanish version. I have a dream is another beautiful one in either Spanish or English, thanks.

[@opicatchu2164]

So beautiful 🔥

[@marcodebrabander5751]

Some people are taking things far to seriously lol. By far most people like what you do with ABBA! Sound wise I like the studio version more but real live videos from ABBA ar not so common so always nice to see!

[@LilmannReacts]

I appreciate that!

[@Muckylittleme]

Nice reaction, look forward to the next one.

[@LilmannReacts]

More to come!

[@delseatube1700]

This was a great reaction to a lovely song. I don’t want you to take people’s moaning to heart. The majority love what you do. If they suggest a certain one it’s because they want you to hear that particular version. If it’s not the one they wanted you to hear you can listen and watch in your own time if you want to. So please keeping doing what you’re doing. 😊👍🏾

[@LilmannReacts]

[@patsyinternational]

You have nothing to apologise for whatsoever. Please carry on with what you’re doing with ABBA, most of us really appreciate your reactions, the moaners need to lighten up a bit!! You’re doing great ❤

[@evedavey2475]

With love from Australia 🇦🇺 Bless USA ❤🤍💙

[@roger4268]

You can never go wrong with ABBA! There are several videos but most reactors have used this one due to blocking etc... 🎼🎵🎶

[@sarablack2547]

This was nice. Don't worry about others. This is one of the many songs used in the mama mia films. It's used in the first one where donna(Meryl streep)is singing it while helping her daughter Sophia(Amanda seyfield) get ready for her wedding.

[@Muckylittleme]

It isn't personal at all, it may seem that way, but it isn't. Fans just want you to experience their favourite band in the best way possible. The last fan made video was horrible, but nobody thinks that is your fault, it isn't your content and you reacted to what you thought would be a performance or proper video. That's why I say that when you get a request react to what they ask for as they will know best, or if you think if a song to react to then reach out for what is best as there can be a big difference in quality or sound or performance since this stuff is pre-digital age.

Try, Does Your Mother Know, Hole In Your Soul LIVE at Wembley 1979
