It was probably taken down by SVT, the Swedish Public Broadcasting who filmed and owns the official rights to the gala. They are usually not fussy though, could have been KZread too which is far more strict.

Gah!

King and Queen of Sweden was watching and ABBA bowed for them.

This was a tribute to the swedish king and queen when they had got married in 1976

I smile every time I see/hear them

WHEN THE KING THE QUEEN IS IN THERE, YOU MUST CHOW SOME RESPECT. AND ABBA WAS LIVE IN THE SHOW .....

absolutmichel6- exactly and it was 1976.

Love ABBA 😍

I was 12 years old and watched this on TV. There were opera singers and a lot of classical music - and ABBA. They were stars in Sweden already, but other countries had not discoverd them yet.

Saw this! Was 19 years old! Will never forget who I react! Wonderful!!!!

Fun thing is, Frida (the red head / brunette) became a princess in real life!!

I knew ABBA was big in the world with its sound, but seeing so many people get touched by their music really does me a stir in my soul! When they made their breakthrough in the 1970s, the media did not exist in this way as it does today. When I look at different reactions, I get warm in my heart and have little hope for humanity. That when the music can unite is incredibly wonderful. If any group can do this, it's ABBA with its catchy music. Greetings from Sweden!

Hey guys see ABBA show in Poland and judge it. I'm looking forward to it . I'm serious ,!!

iconic & classic song ❤️

What I love about this video is how the band is constantly looking at the Royal box and smiling every time there is a "king" or "queen" mentioned in the lyrics. 🙂 And yes, this is on the eve of the King's wedding, so queen-less Sweden was just about to get a new Queen. Great song selection from ABBA. Could only be better if Freddie and his boys were there as well. :D :D

A cool performance all things considered and a very precious clip, should be an official one but it's owned by SVT which filmed it. It was part of a gala performance in honour of and tribute to the Queen to be and our monarchy, I remember watching it live as a child. ABBA's song at the Swedish Royal Opera House was most likely the only non classical music bit of it so that's why it's a little bit stiff. We have a very modern monarchy, a performance today would have been way more creative. Another thing to keep in mind - ABBA was not very well received by a very politically left political climate in Sweden at the time, they were regarded as too commercial and pop was a capitalist thing to some🙄 ABBA was never really big in Sweden so that's why the group was so happy (and surprised) the new songs were so well received by the Swedish audience. It was the first time Queen Silvia met ABBA, she has been close friends with Annifrid/Frida ever since. Speaking about nobility and monarchy - Annifrid/Frida came from very difficult beginnings and is today Princess Anni-Frid, Dowager Countess of Plauen, also the richest in the group. Madonna did a one time MTV performance in similar costumes, I always wondered if she was inspired by this performance because she's a big ABBA fan. kzread.info/dash/bejne/noiVutaQh7WXZqQ.html

Frida is a real princess. She later married the prince of Germany. Even until now, although the prince already died, she still holds that title.

And all is live🙂

Another royal nice clip is when the prince of Sweden Carl Philip marry Sofia, the song Joyful in the church. A little bit special.

Another comment I give to You two request: 1) the First live perfomance and worldwide premier of "Waterloo", in the Eurovision Song Contest at UK in April 6 (1974), when ABBA win between 17 songs of all Europe, and begin to be famous: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXqnuMeGqpSsZcY.html 2) the First live perfomance and worldwide premier of "Chiquitita", in the Concert for Unicef at United Nations (U.S.) in January 9 (1979), when ABBA donated their royalties to UNICEF in the 'International Year of the Childs' kzread.info/dash/bejne/mouAzLOsdrq-kso.html I think that these two, with the perfomance of Dancing Queen to the Swedish Kings, are the three Most Important act of ABBA history

It would be fun if the king and Queen of Sweden went up dancing, I mean it’s dancing “queen”

But you got the wrong clip. This video just has the album track over the top of it. No vocals or music is live.

why do you say like that its aore swedish king and vi love him. his a wounderful man

Because you are American, you do not understand. In front of the king and queen, respect and reverence are shown. Why many Americans make fun of royalty is sooo obvious .......... Jealous!

Why would you listen to their biggest hit first - their other songs would be measured by that . Lay your hands on me or The day before you came are as good if not better.

Sounds like they’re lip singing
