IM SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS! Dick Cavett Meets ABBA - Full Concert(REACTION)

[@bretta2221]

Other bands come and go for each of us. But ABBA is for life. Welcome to the family 😎👏

[@paulogaray6666]

And it's for Eternity, thanks to ABBA Voyage!

Frida bites him like Dracula 😅

[@HarryGhall]

The riff that you talk is Simple Minds forget about me

[@HarryGhall]

Exactly.

[@lenaengell8528]

Thank you very much for your lovely statement. As a proud Swede I certainly agree with you.

[@wittgen80]

And there was NO autotune!! Just pure singing.

[@duncankellogg2783]

This performance was total perfection. When you sound as good live as your records then you truly have the art of live shows mastered to perfection. That exacty what Benny and Bjorn always strived for. If it wasn't great, they wouldn't do it. And obviously they were always great. Anna forever.❤

[@michaele7880]

[@DeidreL9]

I am too! 60 on Valentines Day this year. We had the best music, still do!

[@williamgranero8239]

I'll be 60 in a few days too. I started listening to Abba in 1978 and until this day I still listen to them and I will until the day I die.

A classic performance!

If you're interested in hearing Agnetha sing the highest note, listen to "hole in your soul". There's even a live Wembley concert version.

[@Emmenem68]

Thanks so much for this. You made my day. I actually got a little teary-eyed watching this. ABBA = pure joy. Not only are their songs outstanding, they always remained humble and gracious as human beings and that makes them eternally loved.

[@paulecrosby2006]

Look at the smile on your face.😂 Wow, amazing. What a show... ❤

[@peggyochoa3538]

legends in the music industry love abba !

[@williamgranero8239]

I thought you have forgotten Abba but I was wrong here you are again. I loveeeee your Abba reactions as they are the best in the world. I suggested to you to react to " I let the music speak" sung entirely by your favorite Frida. I'm sure you can't catch up with every suggestion but trust me you will be blown away by that song. So, when you have the chance please react to it. I want to see your reaction. Thanks for bringing Abba again!

[@gdouglas999]

For a rare Abba treat, check out "Get On the Carousel."

[@electromaniac1]

Unfortunately I don't think there's a complete version of it to listen to though.

[@gdouglas999]

@@electromaniac1 I've seen a complete performance of it-----in the Abba movie.

[@DeidreL9]

I’ll tell you a funny story. When this first came on tv here, I was in hospital having my wisdom teeth out. A very strict, traditional Indian family were in the next room, and when “Slipping Through My Fingers” first started, there were all these puzzled noises at Agnetha singing “the feeling that I’m losing her forever”, etc, until she sang “that funny little girl” and, as one, ten people got that it was about her daughter and went “Ohhhhhhhhh”. Lol. My mother looked at me and cracked up. Then she and I cried at the song! It gets to me now as well. Such a beautiful song and they are angels.

[@benitaelofsson4144]

Wow... I have never seen this! Lovely! Their singing is so perfect! Thanks😁

[@lounolastname4477]

Great reaction video, I love your enthusiasm and the respect you show to the whole group, whilst still declaring your love for Frida. Also, I am impressed you knew the words to Two For The Price of One 👍 thank you xx

[@darrick38]

I've watched all your ABBA reactions, and love the way you're truly into them. And your total obsession with Frida is fun to watch. I've noticed you're starting to have to rely on ones where it's just the song, but no video. But I might suggest hitting "My Love, My Life". Agnetha has the whole thing to herself, but I know you appreciate her, too. Go with the one from the ABBA DABBA DOO TV special. I look forward to seeing that. Keep up the ABBA love.

[@Bklynreau]

Thank you so much!!

[@lounolastname4477]

@darrick38 - one of my favourite Agnetha lead songs, but: both ladies sing on My Love, My Life so surely the best version would be from ABBA in Poland as it features both of them, rather than the Abbadabbadoo version that solely features Agnetha? Both versions are mimed so not sure why you would recommend one that incorrectly doesn’t feature Frida considering her vocals are harmonising with Agnetha

[@user-mt7bo4bm3x]

You just HAVE TO watch "ABBA: The Movie" 1977. Thank you for your heartopened reaction. I spent time with wide smile and tears.😘😁👏👏👏

[@Bklynreau]

you welcome!

[@jonnno243]

I love all of ABBA's songs. This one is spectacular. I also know that some people may not like tribute bands, but Bjorn Again. from 1998 at The Albert Hall UK, did a great ABBA concert, including Super Trouper. Well worth a watch. (SOS is superb)

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

It was wonderful!... To watch a great performance of 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️, together to a friend like you, man... So f....g good😅! There is a video with 'SOS' and 'Money money money' live in Japan TV... Wonderful performance too! Take care, Brooklyn ✌️... See ya. Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍

[@Bklynreau]

ima look that one up! love there live stuff!

[@pcch7831]

The concert from Wembley in 79 is also on youtube. Well, the 40-45 minutes of it that was filmed, I have absolutely no idea why the whole thing wasn't filmed but it's an amazing concert. The stuff from Australia is also good, their performance of Dancing Queen down under is amazing.

[@TheFridaFan]

That live version of "Super Trouper" will always be a thing of beauty to me. Also "Me and I" is so close to the recording it's not even funny! You should listen to them both back to back .

[@Bklynreau]

sooooooooooooo good!!!

[@mattias5157]

I´m crying my through this video. Pure beauty! Even your out of tune singing! 😂 Just right in this context.

I love "Me and I"!

[@darrenbertram7289]

Dude, I'm so glad you did this! Imma gonna watch this weekend 😁😁😎😎

[@darrenbertram7289]

Sod the weekend, I've watched it tonight, couldn't wait! 😂 I discovered this concert during lockdown and have watched it so many times since, it was a true god send. Although I have the version with the interview with Dick Cavett at the beginning, and it properly ending with On & On & On (I was as surprised as you were when that came on in the middle!) The version you watched does have variable audio quality although you can appreciate they really could cut it live. Special mention to their band and continuous musicians: Ola Brunkert on drums (love the look on his face when he's doing Me & I); Roger Palm, secondary drums and xylophone on Knowing Me Knowing You; the fabulous guitarists Mats Ronander and Lasse Wellander (the latter of whom had his legs stroked by the girls in THAT video!); and Rutger Gunarsson on bass, hiding at the back. I noticed at the end your recommendation was for the Olivia segment with Andy Gibb and ABBA - now *that* is worth a watch, a true depiction of 1978 if ever there was one 😎

[@Bklynreau]

😂😂yessssssss this was great!!...i might have to listen to that one next thats y it pop up! lol

[@condorfox7]

A stunning live performance, especially when you consider that Agnetha had the flu when ABBA spent 3 days working on the TV Studio performing & recording this Live TV Special…

[@leisen9679]

This was the first time I was watching the concert- and it was so great to see it with you😂. You really enjoyed the performance, the voices, the music. Loved it! And what great voices they have, it's incredible how the live oerformance is just as good as the records are, but still manage to surprise you.

[@francismedina4547]

That song the Frida sang after Agnetha's Slipping Through My Fingers is called Me and I of the SuperTrouper album. It's one of my favorites off that album. You should check it out!!!

[@johnchristmas7522]

Hi, so finally you have reached talent. A World Wide phenomenom, through the 70, 80,and 90's hit after hit, probably one of the best groups in their day. Listen to more of their songs there are many. I think you will agree, they were and are, something very special

[@opicatchu2164]

One of the best band ever !!!! 💯

[@Chapmanjec]

Thanks for this! Been following ABBA forever and have never seen this. TYSM!

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Thanks so much for reacting to this whole fantastic performance ! .. It's top quality from start to finish, and I love how really close up we see everyone on stage .. A great mix of their big hits and lesser known ( but wonderful ) songs such as "Me And I" .. "Two For The Price Of One" is also much more entertaining when done live like this .. Great reaction, bro .. Enjoyed it a lot !

[@Bklynreau]

you welcome!

[@helenpeterson]

Am glad you got to this and enjoyed it. Would love you to do the Dick Cavett Interview with them now. Its great hearing them when doing Documentaries etc. Me and I is a great song and knew that would suprise you.

I love how the girls sing in harmony. Now days it’s a screaming match as each singer tries to out sing the other. All talent and no silly gimmicks and revealing outfits to get attention in this performance.

[@mariaJ3105]

Yes the girls knew they complimented each other so well there was never any competition between them

[@electromaniac1]

Bananarama is another who still sings in harmony without screaming. Very nice on the ears.

[@electromaniac1]

On Gimme Gimme Gimme there's a kind of house piano years before it happened.

A lot of the current female vocalists just scream anyway, even when they're solo. It's not enjoyable.

❤❤❤❤

[@Vikinggirl1679]

Great reaction. You should watch the you tube clip the Olivia Newton John tv special. She sings with ABBA and Andy Gibb (little brother of the BeeGees) all of them are just ama,ing. I know you'd love it. I don't know how to send a link but if you search it in you tube it should bring it up. Not the jam session one though. Take care.

[@terrykemp1876]

The cut was possibly for an advertisement break??? Me and I -5th track on Super Trouper (The album they were promoting).

[@francismedina4547]

There was no cut. It's how the song goes. Synth, beat then Frida sings.

[@kathrinchemnitz5797]

[@garyvandecar2580]

Agnetha Faltskog is the queen of the perfect pitch. If you listen to her on the recording or live. The pitch of her voice never deviates one iota.

[@StarfishTrooper]

If you don't love ABBA I'll call the van to take you to the insane asylum. Wether it is for the love of the music or just the kitsch value, you have yo admit they are addictive. 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@voxsupreme]

Allthough ABBA does their best here - itś obvious that The Romantic Saga is over by 1981... The girls stand almost as if nailed to the floor and there is no other Movement over the stage either - not like during their Australian tours 1976-77. Itś so sad, and also very admirable that despite their Split Ups the couples are fighting as hard as they can to Honour "Their Baby" -The Music Itself. And now 40 Years later, we Know that their Music Didn't Die and that it probably will Live On Forever.

[@jossieassie4682]

Agree. All fun and spirit are gone in this show. One can almost feel the tension between Frida and Benny here😢Nevertheless, they sound fab live, and Frida forever my star❤

[@Emmenem68]

Yes, it does look static here and there. But one has to keep in mind that this was a live performance in a TV studio in front of a small, reserved Swedish audience. It can't be compared to the setting of the Australian concerts, performed in front of a boiling crowd of tens of thousands of fans, at the height of ABBAmania. This TV special was taped only about two or three months after Benny & Frida had announced their divorce. The Dick Cavett interview was very awkward and painful as well, with half-hearted jokes that didn't come off. Frida hardly said anything at all. Recording this TV special in Sweden was about the only promotion they did in 1981. When The Visitors was released at the end of the year they just sent out the promo videos but didn't perform any of the songs anywhere. It was clear they all needed a break from ABBA.

[@voxsupreme]

Well, ABBA did many TV recordings in studios smaller than this, and still moved around much more than on this event. So I think You're missing the point, they were exhausted and the Saga was over here. By the way I'm Swedish and saw ABBA live as early as 1975. and I worked as a photographer in both swedish TV and Radio studios. @@Emmenem68

[@dennislindqvist8443]

I used to work with lighting. That and LED screens have to be the biggest difference between then and now when it comes to concerts. On the one hand, moving led lights give an artificial impression, on the other hand, everything was in red with a lot of shadows in the "wrong" places here. If it's not happening already, I think the old halogen lights will have a comeback. Assuming they are still on the market.

[@paulogaray6666]

Although you got to see a taped live performance, you have GOT to travel to London to see them in ABBA Voyage. This is your chance to see them live in concert!

[@lounolastname4477]

It isn’t live though, is it? Studio vocals mixed with a live band, so not even technically “ABBA”, along with creepy looking holograms.

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

Super Trouper is great and bubbly on the record, here it's heartbreaking. Frida's live delivery really ads depth to the song.

[@jamesdagenais6494]

That was kind of mess up that Dick Cavett talked over their singing near the end. Probably because his show was about over. I've loved ABBA music since I was a teen in the 70s.

[@deepaksugara7835]

No mercy

[@larsnilsson6821]

You can spell MUSIC with only four letters. A B B A 🐈‍⬛🐈🫂♥️

[@hackapump]

It is kind of necessary to know what a Super Trouper is, those lyrics don’t make a whole lot of sense without it. To me it always sounded like a corny song title - until I learnt what it is. And if you’ve ever been on properly lit stage, you know it can feel like staring into the sun. Ergo a metaphor.
