Abba in Concert

A truly spectacular release. The DVD is an updated version of a 1980 TV special for Swedish television. The footage follows ABBA around the USA on their tour of the US in September 1979. Some good atmospheric shots, interviews with Bjorn on the road, an insight into the day to day running of the biggest tour of the 1970's. The DVD then switches to Wembley in November of '79 and the 5 sell out nights ABBA performed. ABBA were never a good live band, but this DVD sounds incredible. The sound has all been remastered and the negatives cleaned up for DVD.There are bonus tracks, interviews with producers of the shows and people close to ABBA at the time. They recount their memories of their time with ABBA on tour. A good insight into what happenned and a few snippets of current information. Will they reform? Not even a billion dollars as reportedly offered recently will make them reform.Extra concert footage includes unseen and renovated "The Way Old Friends Do" preceded by Agnetha and Bjorn recalling how well this track sounded live. So much so they added it to their 1980 album "Super Trouper". A great unseen "Thank You For The Music" and "I Have A Dream", an uninterrupted version in full.A great historical record of a great group at the height of its popularity in the 1970s. This DVD is a must for anyone studying music and of course for anyone who likes ABBA.

like abba and enjoyed the video

This DVD follows Abba on their 1979 journey starting from the US with short Concert footage to wembley stadium which has the full concert footage of some of the songs shown,except for songs like "I have a Dream" which you can watch the full version on the extras footage on the dvd.Another great thing about this DVD is that it is in 5.1 Surround sound which allows you to get the full Abba experience.This is a must have for any Abba fan and collector especially if you were not around when Abba was together.A MUST HAVE!!!!

Lovely to go back in time with this brilliant group

Excellent product very enjoyable

It's brilliant

Bought it used and it was cheap. Had I paid full price then I would have been disappointed. Hardcore Abba fans will like it but I wouldn't recommend paying full price.

I was at the Wembley concert in 1979 brought back great memories.
