Olivia! ABC-TV Special with Andy Gibb & ABBA - Ultra Rare TRUE STEREO !

ONE OF A KIND - FIRST GENERATION AUDIO. This is the concert segment IN TRUE STEREO from the 1978 special "Olivia!" Just prior to shooting this segment with a live orchestra, the audio guy asked if I would like a stereo feed of the sound. Of course I said yes and fed two three-quarter inch VCRs with the special feed. Stereo TV was not available widely until the mid-1980s. After completion of the special, I manually synced the 2" master of the show to my ¾" master and, viola, a stereo version of the concert with Andy Gibb, ABBA, and Olivia!
Shot just days before it aired, the ABC-TV special "Olivia!" was the marathon of all television specials I edited while in Hollywood. For 36 nonstop hours, director Steve Binder (my all time favorite) and the post-production crew dashed toward an unbelievable deadline and beat it. This is the entire concert segment. The air version begins at 3:01 and ends prior to "Thank you for the Music" (which was used for closing credits). Please select 480p and full screen (and don't forget headphones!); the quality is matchless!

​@@NicholasAndre1right? I wish they had done more live shows. I'm glad Olivia was able to get together with them (and Andy Gibb of course). She and Abba were able to transition through the decades incredibly well. For Abba it was just 70's into early 80's and their recent release, of course.

So great to see and hear a real live performance… No auto-tune! No backing tracks! Looking forward to when music comes full circle and we come back to these types of performances. Not only were the singers doing an amazing job, the orchestra were also great - and recreating live a sound on par with the recorded versions. Great work everyone…. (I believe our current performing arts community still have the capacity to create a live performance like this - we, the audience need to ask for it!)

When music was music, not the garbage we have today.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Wow, no auto tune. These 3 acts have more vocal talent then today’s entire pop music industry.

I think there is one exception: Lady Gaga! ;)
