Gimme!, Super Trouper, Two For The Price Of One and On And On And On" are available on the "ABBA Live" CD (released by Polar Music 1988 but widely forgotten nowadays).

I have watched this performance dozens of times. Each time I am impressed with the musical quality of the performance. At the same time I am saddened by the lack of sparckle. It was obvious the group had reached the end. Thank heaven they left us this last performance.
I agree it is amazing. Back in 1982 I read a showing of this would be on a channel we normally did not get through our cable subscription. My dad put the old tv antenna back on top of the house so we could pull it in and I could tape it on VHS.
Думая об этом предстоящем разрыве каждый раз, когда я смотрю выступление ABBA, я просто в ужасе от того, что переживали эти две прекрасные женщины. Но как с достоинством они перенесли расставание!!! Все четверо... Уважение
Agnetha is a great singer. Frida is also a great singer. But put them together and they are *phenomenal*. It's like their voices were destined to be together.
the fact that these 4 individuals came together and created amazing magic was destiny. clearly my favorite pop group ever! long live the swedish beatles i.e. ABBA!
Most of bands or musicians, played songs that we associate with a special moment in our lives. The difference is that ABBA, has a song for EACH and EVERY moment of our lives. I don't understand the music (and my life) without ABBA. Thank you so much!!
Can't agree more... They shaped an entire decade for me from my teenage years, and I was the Dancing Queen burning the dance floor like so many others!
I just listened to this for the 10th time and I still go into floods of tears while listening to slipping through my fingers. The energy and emotion Carried in thier music is so powerful . Long live ABBA.💪🎶🎵🎸🎹🙏🙏♥️♥️

When All Is Said And Done, Slipping Through My Fingers and Two For The Price Of One were the first 3 songs recorded for 'The Visitors' album in March 1981, 'One of Us' was recorded a few months later.
RIP: Liza Ohman. The back up singer behind Benny. She passed away on January 20th, 2022 in Stockholm. She placed third in the 1980 Melodie competition behind her co-singer with ABBA, Thomas Ledin. The day after her and Thomas flew to join ABBA on their tour in Japan. I believe this appearance with ABBA was her last. She was known for her positive attitude even during some of the difficult parts of the ABBA global tours.
And 2024! I’m an old rocker, but I loved ABBA for great pop music, harmonies, classical base, and those female voices. With the world falling apart, we need positive music like ABBA to remind us to keep the positive vibes going.
how beautiful it is to sing about your daughter in slipping thru my fingers. The ladies are singing so pure. If you compare it to the technic they have and use these days in the music industry!!!
I started to listen to them 40 yrs ago and ever since I listen to them and they sound better and better and their songs have not lost their appeal on me but the contrary I like them more than before. So I can conclude that their music will be listened 100 years from today just like now
That's pretty insane. Even though im 30 I think ABBA is still as fresh and relevant for me today, but nonetheless important. It's so refreshing to just listen to ABBA in a world of hate, politics, brainwashing and horrifying media and tv. The stressful lives with social media and social issues. Music is about sex, ego, or other dumb shit by money and attention seeking artists and their greedy music compianies. Taking a break from all that with ABBA and some weed has become therapy for me.
being a sound engineer, I noticed how they changed mic's not only among the songs, but even within some of them; I'm guessing some of the shots are from a full dress rehearsal.
The only trouble with ABBA is they stopped making music, that's the bad news. The good news is their music still lives today. Whenever I am on RUclips and suddenly find a ABBA clip, I stop whatever I am doing to listen, which leads to other ABBA clips. Their music is addirive.
The girls are absolutely fantastic, but credit must be also given to the band and back up singers. To be able to replicate all the complexities of the studio versions can't be an easy task, but these talented people really pulled it off. Rip-bassist Rutger Gunnarson, in my opinion, easily in the top ten list of bass guitarists of all time.

Summer Night City ... perfect version .. so powerful and so very much rock. Nowadays this concert is still so good that it easily should be played on TV
I thought it was touching how close Agnetha and Frida stood throughout the performance, and also how they seemed to gain more courage and strength as the performance progressed. It was a terrible time for them--especially Frida. And yet they managed to put on a incredible performance. It was the end, yes, but they were unmatchable and they knew it. There will never be another Abba. They really did catch lightning in a bottle.
@@markr8690 Benny had broken up with her, he was seeing another woman and I think the other woman might have been pregnant. You can see the pain clearly on Friday's face especially the look she gives Benny at the beginning of Knowing me, Knowing You.
NIce comments. We all want to believe that Frida and Agnetha were friends, even at the end. I posted a comment on another video, even later than this one, where they were literally touching shoulders when they sang together. Edit-oh, it's this one. And they are almost attached at the hip in the last few songs, why? They didn't have to sing like that.
@snad7887 John Lennon called ELO 'the sons of the Beatles'. He also said 'SOS' was 'the perfect pop song'. This one sounds as if B&B were consciously pastiching Jeff Lynne... with the added dimension of the ladies' fabulous 'third voice'. Btw Lennon also thought Cavett well above par as a talk show man, having given him a memorable, embittered interview in 1971.
Thank you Mr. Cavett for taking your show to Sweden, and getting what Björn described it as, "A happy conversation, more than just an interview!". Thankfully, ABBA also performed this excellent mini concert.
Beautiful music, great presence, and of course all is said for the beautiful voices of the two women here.. but the first thing I notice in this gem of video is the great hidden strength of Agnetha and Frida here (all we know the things was bad for both of them the latest abba years).. You can feel they are "off" with the mind, the eyes are sad , but solid. They help each other with vocals, smiles and affinity. Thank you ABBA, Agnetha, Frida, Benny and Bjorn , thank you for all your beautiful music. Really.
westfield90 Go on eBay! You have to get all this concerts online. They are not wooden and they have light in they're eyes. Some people no matter how hard they try. They are always a critic. Just enjoy it. Si no move on.
@@CSPlayerDamon Recording techniques haven't really changed since then?! Well, maybe not the actual recording, but what they record it ON certainly has changed, as has audio quality. Hello, Dolby Digital?!! In fact, ABBA's final album, The Visitors was the first album EVER released on CD.
@@brunobution6367 You could be right. I'm not an ABBA completist, after all. Still, I can't think of a single example of them singing in intervals of thirds or fifths. Perhaps you could point me to an example or two; I'd like to hear that. Regardless, I didn't mean that as a put down. Their unison singing was an incredibly compelling force which characterized most of their major hits, just as Fleetwood Mac capitalized largely on their vocal harmonies.
@@DrMackSplackem Frida usually do more of the harmonies; Agnetha usually do harmonizations when they are supposed to sound higher. For example: Frida sings the verses on Super Trouper but Agnetha mostly harmonizes the shit out of her verses etc. You are right that when they sing together they hardly harmonize but still Frida usually opens vocals to her. Gimme gimme gimme is another song that Frida also harmonizes alot.
Now they are back in 2018. And we all must be thank full for that. Did no know this concert! Thank you so much! Amazing songs and the execution.. Who createt those instrumentals is a genius. And thise harmonies.
The Beatles music was totally different you cannot compare the two bands , Abba was more pop , the both bands were great , good song writing , they both played a part in history especially the Beatles because they came to America first , Abba didn’t need to or want to do a US tour early on , but of course they did and by that time people knew there music well and there shows sold out...
Is it just me or is Summer Night City absolutely smoking? Agnetha just leans back and goes for it. The vocals are fantastic and the performance so professional, even if they were at the end and not enjoying it anymore.
Agnetha smokes on just about all of them...She has said in interviews that Thank You for the Music is her favorite...and they closed their concerts at the end of their tours with it...and people WERE crying when they sang it. But...I cried throughout most of them because of the harmony between Agnetha and Frida...it is magic, is wonderful, and is rarely heard in todays ‘music’...
They were never that happy with the recording that went out as a single. It’s great to hear the song opened up like this and without all that studio compression.
Put together some of those artists/singers who claim they can sing today, and I will tell ya'll they will eat dust from these two ladies. They are million miles away from these graceful, elegant, classy woman.
Absolutely. The music business is messed up bringing us auto tuned non singers, robot drums with no soul. Doesn’t matter, from fake Bro country, to R+B to hip hop, to current pop, quality is down the tubes. I don’t say that as a crusty old boomer, I say it as a singer who was trained and knows the difference. Heck, give me a song about pickups, beer and chicks with a fake southern accent, make me 25 and I could do that fake country act.
I've got the DVD with these songs performed in my smallish ABBA collection; I'm reminiscing about good times spent with old friends watching this again, and how I do miss their company....*sniff, sniff*
Stunning. Truly amazing this whole show. Still today Agnetha's performance of 'Slipping Through My Fingers' brings me to tears. I cannot wait to listen to the new songs!
No me canso de escucharlos, verlos, y con la magia de youtube disfrutarlos en todo momento. Muy buenas canciones, con una extraordinaria combinación de voces. Para mi siguen siendo mi grupo favorito, que me han acompañado a lo largo de buena parte de mi vida.
Just incredible. Abba must be the greatest pop group of all time. I admit I may be a bit biased because I also think these ladies are incredibly beautiful and sing like angels, but really, what group is better than this? There is not one.
It so great to see the girls having fun and being/standing close together singing summer night city!Slipping through my fingers is the best version I heard

When Anni-Frid and Agnetha sing together it does sound angelic. Tell me another band that sounds like this, there is no one.
Well there are some. The Mama’s and Pappa’s. Spiral Staircase, 5th Dimension.
@ there are many bands with great harmonies and I really like to listen to them; but if you listen to ABBA there is harmony that is unique.
I wish this short concert would get commercially released, even if it's just these 36 minutes of bliss... a high quality release of this would be AWEOME!

ABBA FOREVER ♥️💯 ...
HERE IN 2024 🎉🎉
Forever!
NOW!!! This is music...timeless.....👍👍👍
Knowing me knowing you...that must ha e been hard to do knowing that both couples got divorced and this was their last show.

Где здесь женская женская группа?
Wonderful! Those ladies voices, simply wonderful!
If only for the fact that this turned out to be their last performance, this is simply PRICELESS!! I miss them terribly.
how do you know that this was their last live performance?
The last concert. ABBA appeared in a TV show after this. Divorce turns a band into a dis-band.

I heard the Group ABBA is going to perform in the Sequel on 7/20/2018...can't wait!!

Cameo by Bjorn. You'll probably see the movie and not even see him, according to him.

That's pretty insane. Even though im 30 I think ABBA is still as fresh and relevant for me today, but nonetheless important. It's so refreshing to just listen to ABBA in a world of hate, politics, brainwashing and horrifying media and tv. The stressful lives with social media and social issues. Music is about sex, ego, or other dumb shit by money and attention seeking artists and their greedy music compianies. Taking a break from all that with ABBA and some weed has become therapy for me.
Those gals like a fine wine!!!!!!!!!!
A REAL live performance !!
being a sound engineer, I noticed how they changed mic's not only among the songs, but even within some of them; I'm guessing some of the shots are from a full dress rehearsal.
BTW, the mic's are AKG, Austrian Dynamic (Silver) D-330 and Condenser (Black) E-535

I love their performance of “two for the price of one”. Especially at the first chorus when Frida burst into a huge smile while singing
What singers and musicians absolutely wonderful.... An honour to have been able to hear them all together. They are still beautiful personalities....
Loved that live version of "On and On and On".
Me too!
Starts almost like Rockin all over the world :)
It is inspired by " do it again" from Beach Boys
@snad7887 John Lennon called ELO 'the sons of the Beatles'. He also said 'SOS' was 'the perfect pop song'. This one sounds as if B&B were consciously pastiching Jeff Lynne... with the added dimension of the ladies' fabulous 'third voice'. Btw Lennon also thought Cavett well above par as a talk show man, having given him a memorable, embittered interview in 1971.

Wow! This is pure gold!

Not bad for a band who some people said were a studio act. The women's voices harmonise perfectly.

Regardless, I didn't mean that as a put down. Their unison singing was an incredibly compelling force which characterized most of their major hits, just as Fleetwood Mac capitalized largely on their vocal harmonies.
@@DrMackSplackem Frida usually do more of the harmonies; Agnetha usually do harmonizations when they are supposed to sound higher. For example: Frida sings the verses on Super Trouper but Agnetha mostly harmonizes the shit out of her verses etc. You are right that when they sing together they hardly harmonize but still Frida usually opens vocals to her. Gimme gimme gimme is another song that Frida also harmonizes alot.
Great Concert. A time when most singers had very vocals, today not so much. They were amazing to see perform.
Now they are back in 2018. And we all must be thank full for that. Did no know this concert! Thank you so much! Amazing songs and the execution.. Who createt those instrumentals is a genius. And thise harmonies.
Agnatha is the hottest thing to come out of Sweden 🇸🇪 she has so much to offer Abba.her voice came from god and angels 👼.💔💔💔💓💓🙏🙏💯🇸🇪
Yes,you are right Agnetha (Anietha)pure beautiful ANGELas the others too... Björn, Frida and Benny❤️❤️❤️❤️
Better her than Greta anytime.
Merrill Milner Who is Greta?
Oui mais sans l'accompagnement de Frida ce ne serait pas pareil
Thank you for the music , I love ABBA for Always
Abba is the greatest of musical history, like the beatles, they are on the podium, this swedish quartet is really sensational.
ABBA is much better than Beatles. Strong songs. Strong voices
@@maanefisker I wouldn't say that's a fair comparison. As Newton once said, he stood on the shoulder of giants.
The Beatles other than being good songwriters sounded like 4 kids screaming from a huge empty can.
The Beatles music was totally different you cannot compare the two bands , Abba was more pop , the both bands were great , good song writing , they both played a part in history especially the Beatles because they came to America first , Abba didn’t need to or want to do a US tour early on , but of course they did and by that time people knew there music well and there shows sold out...

@Joe Flink Beatles is Beatles ( 1960`- 1970 ) - ABBA is ABBA ( 1972- 1983 ) Both Group`s are Timeless
Since the end of the late 60, I have always bee an deep Fan of ABBA.
I saw this when it originally ran on TV. This is a great copy. Thanks for uploading!
Such bands like ABBA we'll never have again!
Wao increíble, la perfección hecha música, voces de oro que quedaron para toda la vida. Gracias ABBA.
Is it just me or is Summer Night City absolutely smoking? Agnetha just leans back and goes for it. The vocals are fantastic and the performance so professional, even if they were at the end and not enjoying it anymore.
Agnetha smokes on just about all of them...She has said in interviews that Thank You for the Music is her favorite...and they closed their concerts at the end of their tours with it...and people WERE crying when they sang it. But...I cried throughout most of them because of the harmony between Agnetha and Frida...it is magic, is wonderful, and is rarely heard in todays ‘music’...
They were never that happy with the recording that went out as a single. It’s great to hear the song opened up like this and without all that studio compression.
Put together some of those artists/singers who claim they can sing today, and I will tell ya'll they will eat dust from these two ladies. They are million miles away from these graceful, elegant, classy woman.
Divas Live c
They were the real thing for sure. Nothing trumps talent.
You are absolutely right
Absolutely. The music business is messed up bringing us auto tuned non singers, robot drums with no soul. Doesn’t matter, from fake Bro country, to R+B to hip hop, to current pop, quality is down the tubes. I don’t say that as a crusty old boomer, I say it as a singer who was trained and knows the difference. Heck, give me a song about pickups, beer and chicks with a fake southern accent, make me 25 and I could do that fake country act.
Agnetha Happy Birthday today april 5 thank You Bright Star!
I've got the DVD with these songs performed in my smallish ABBA collection; I'm reminiscing about good times spent with old friends watching this again, and how I do miss their company....*sniff, sniff*
Yeah, heaviness in stomach as well missing the good ole days and family and friends that are no longer with me. 😢
Amazing sound quality! Absolutly perfect production.
AGNETHA AND FRIDA SUPER!!!ABBA FAN FOR EVER!!!❤
Loving ABBA💜
It's the best we can do!
This concert is so great. Agnetha and Frida sing so well in high quality.
Amazing! I just love them!
Stunning. Truly amazing this whole show. Still today Agnetha's performance of 'Slipping Through My Fingers' brings me to tears. I cannot wait to listen to the new songs!
Me too...may be end of this year, before Christmas.Two new already recorded songs going to be huge gift for ABBA’s billions of fans!!!
Amazing. I'd give anything to hear those tapes before they were mixed down.......
No ranking da musica, o ABBA é o máximo, é insuperável e insubstituível!
Agnetha, impecable interpretación, hermosa voz, felicitaciones
Honestly, I really don't understand anyone who could give this video a thumbs down. You really have to wonder about the mental state of these people.
A person who feels offended by someone else’s negative opinion has become way too identified with something they have no control over.
They looked depressed. But her performance was impeccable.
Смотрите в зеркало чаще! Там тот, кому надо обратиться к психиатру
Jesus ... how fantastic they were
No me canso de escucharlos, verlos, y con la magia de youtube disfrutarlos en todo momento. Muy buenas canciones, con una extraordinaria combinación de voces. Para mi siguen siendo mi grupo favorito, que me han acompañado a lo largo de buena parte de mi vida.
They were an amazing band it showed from beginning to end in their music, and they always had respect for one another
Bravo!!
Just incredible. Abba must be the greatest pop group of all time. I admit I may be a bit biased because I also think these ladies are incredibly beautiful and sing like angels, but really, what group is better than this? There is not one.
Buenísima la elección de tantos éxitos, felicidades al grupo Sueco, Viva Abba
Que buen grupo, lastima que no volvieron a cantar juntos. Saludos desde Medellín Colombia.
Finally showing back ground singers and the rest of the players. 🤣love them Lord bless them 😘😘😘😘
Frida, excelente interpretación, hermosa voz
that version of summer night city was so much better than the original
I love how Summer Night City sounds kind of heavy in this version
summer night city is one of my favorites songs
It so great to see the girls having fun and being/standing close together singing summer night city!Slipping through my fingers is the best version I heard
