No one does it better than Abba.. no one sounds like Abba, or rivals Abba for longevity (still listening 50 years later!!), and the music timeless... Thank you for sharing.. and Anni Frid, Agnetha, Bjorn and Bennie, thank you for the music... Lange Lange Leve karleken .. ❤

ABBA is absolutely the best of the best!!!

[@jamesfair4315]

I have never heard 2 women sings as great solo or harmonize as these two wonderful singers. I loved ABBA since i was 17 yrs old in 1976.

[@SteveSmith-eb6ze]

Well said.

[@brucegreen-tb5bl]

Oh the best for sure, nothing compares to this day.

[@AnonYmous-ry2jn]

I'm gonna stick my neck out with an observation I think nobody ever made before, but maybe others feeling it similarly. ABBA is pure magic, yes, but there's something beyond the music, the act, the looks, and it's political-cultural. The extra layer that catapults them is they're singing gorgeous English as a second language, but it seeming as natural to them as their native tongue. When ABBA sings, you hear something so completely GLOBAL and UNIVERSAL, they bridge *foreignness* and *closeness*, as if the love that their music is always about is simultaneously romantic and political, and the over-the-top ANTHEMIC POSITIVITY, seems gloriously UTOPIAN: Beyond hearing incredible love songs incredibly performed, you feel humanity coming together through this universal appeal, and like in any other kind of love, APPRECIATING DIFFERENCE is part of the formula, because there is NO LOVE WITHOUT DIFFERENCE. Every one of their songs creates an ANTHEM out of this principle, from the political-romantic WATERLOO through all their other love songs. This music was created in the waning of the postwar era, and it conveys a hope, optimism and excitement for the future based on love, mutual appreciation and respect, embodied in music. It is therefore so fitting that they should launch themselves onto the world stage by belting out the song WATERLOO, which established their essential theme, the essential ABBA message musical DNA of every song: and : Love coming out of the foundations of difference and conflict. And this brings us to what everybody else has been mentioning so copiously and insightfully: THE GLORIOUS INCREDIBLE HARMONIES: Yes, that is the whole point in a nutshell: beautiful, incredible, glorious unity forged from difference.

Loved to have heard them do these appearances singing live.

[@WayneJohnston-vi2jk]

I saw the Abba tribute at the community arts center and couldn't get over what I saw. My friend Roger thought he wished he didn't met Ana Marie. I had to be seated by one of the ushers before I ended up on stage with them. Yes a good example of Sweden. My family thinks these people are awesome. Dancing queen blew us away.

The girls are gorgeous

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

those were the days my friends. the girls are ladies and alive to be donna lou stevens older ladies that will relive the 1970s as avatars in a benny and borjn production in sweden in the abba museum. what is old is young again. abba thanks for the 1970s music and the momma mia movie and your time tunnel machine where you let those of current and future generations to travel back to the 1970s over 50 years ago in back to the future time travel to a time in the past. so mom look what they did with my song mom. (a 1960s song) now if they figure out how to do that with glen campbell country music legend a rhinestone cowboy who lost his life to Alzheimer's disease not long ago. it would be cool to see him in abba vision of 3d avatars. technology at its best. looking forward to the good ole days in the future with mcfly and micheal j fox who is still battling parkinsons disease. and imagine if we can unrope or unhang robin williams who feared for his mental sanity with lewd bodies dementia another mental disability of the dementia family like Alzheimers and other terminal diseases like als and other muscular dystrophy diseases. even if it is virtual reality and not a physical reality.

Agnetha

[@G6JPG]

I'm normally sad when I suspect something is lip-synced, and it seems fairly certain this one is (note: not all tracks from this appearance/concert are - TYFTMusic and SOS aren't), but in this case it allows - Agnetha particularly - to really act the song. (And obviously really enjoy doing it, too.)

[@marbe166]

It's the original album version that has been put on afterwards. It's a shame, since they obviously had a full orchestra there, I am sure that the performance actually was live, but the live sound has been lost.

[@G6JPG]

@@marbe166 Yes, one wonders how these things get "lost"; presumably Japanese TV recorded the whole show. Two things I can think of: either they're keeping it back to sell later; or, maybe there was some fault with some of the tracks - technical fault with a microphone, or someone dropped some heavy object and the noise was distracting - so they were only happy to release the three tracks they did with live (albeit mono) sound, with the as you say album sound for the rest. Slightly odd that the live sound _is_ mono - but I suppose that was still fairly common for TV material in 1978. Surprising, though, especially for Japan.

The writing is incredible. The brains that wrote these songs is incredibly genius. The ladies sing like birds, but they also have music and songs that complement their voices. Both ladies are extraordinarily beautiful. I miss the 70s and 80s. Those were the good old days of music.

Adoro a Frida. Que derroche de talento, belleza, hermosura y simpatía a lo largo de su carrera musical. Ella y Agnetha hicieron un gran dúo dentro del legendario e inolvidable cuarteto que sigue siendo ABBA (y lo seguirá siendo) para presentes y futuras generaciones, gracias a la tecnología y al registro audiovisual del cual continuamos disfrutando por esta plataforma, por los discos y videos que se conservan en los hogares del planeta. Sin dudas (ABBA) se ganaron su espacio en rel corazón de la gente y en la historia musical moderna en los géneros del pop y rock, con su agradable estilo... Bravo por ellos, por la guapa cumpleañera catira (rubia en sudamérica) que sigue siendo Agnetha y obviamente la bella, alegre y carismática Frida, la de esa hermosa sonrisa. La reina y la princesa del pop sueco.
