"Me and I" has a similar vibe and it's from the every-song-PERFECT Super Trouper.

There is an undeniable magic when Agnetha & Frida sing in unison...still gives me goosebumps : )

If this song were to come out now it would be a hit putting down any other out there. Abba is a miracle!!!

The sound of angels! The harmonies are CRAZY!!!

and the abba girls were looking seriously glamorous in this performance.

Frida is feeling it!

That "3rd voice", often cited, is so prominent in this song. I know of no 2 other voices that are so in sync and harmony. They create something magical when they sing together and it still has an impact decades later. Truly astonishing. Another lost, big hit single

ABBA was as good on stage as he was in the studio

One of their best in my opinion

Those voices are unbelievable

One of the best and one of my favourites.

What beautiful legs!! Only Agnetha and Frida could...lols they looks fantastic 🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️❤️❤️❤️

This was in Japan. They did quite a few cool performances there with 'interesting' stage sets plus the picture quality was/is excellent for the time. The Mike Yarwood performance was in the UK and I think it was a shortened version. ABBA did perform this in concert on their 1979/80 tours of North America, Europe and Japan.

ABBA mastered not only pop,rock,metal and funk,for sure also disco,like they show here with this song. It didnt matter what music genre they used for any of their song,it was still on top and above...

Hard to understand why this wasnt a single Its so underrated, they went for Chiquitita instead as single. My favourite song from Voulez-Vous is: "Lovers ( live a little longer)" Frida on lead, and a masterpiece for baseline .

Bonus info: The string arrangement was written by Anders Eljas, their young "backup pianist" they used on stage when playing live. Earlier string/brass/woodwind arrangements that needed written parts were done by their bass player Rutger Gunnarsson (seen on stage here). Everything else was played by ear, improvised and/or memorized.

Bass player Rutger Gunnerson was the one who wrote the lovely string arrangement for this song. He wrote most of their string arrangements 😊 love this song is vocal silk

OMG Frida is a narural fire bro!

Abba at their best. From the best album they made. remember getting this on cassette the week it was released. Abba for life. long may they continue. Im 57 now been a abba fan all my life. got my tickets for ABBAtar concert next year, cant wait

Disco was still Big in the late 70's It didn't start dying out till the 80's

This has always been a favorite of mine ever since I first discovered it. Man, the whole vibe from this 1978 Japan performance is just _so wonderful!_ The girls are absolutely adorable in this one, just vibing with such an upbeat tune and dance! I love it! And yeah...Bass line _and_ legs for _days!_ XD

Thanks for the reaction. I love the way Frida if given a chance to dance just goes for it. Bet she wore the guys out in the clubs.

Nice to meet you again in another ABBA song "If it wasn't for the nights" was a song in disco style, in the 'disco era' from Bee Gees and the movie 'Saturday Night Fever' This video included (after their perfomance) a lot of pictures of ABBA In one of this the girls using 'cat customers' yellow and blue This are iconics in Agnetha & Frida in 1975 You could see them in some perfomance

Legendary Rutger Gunnarsson on bass 👌🏼

Rutger is my favorit bass player, but it's Mike Watson plays this one.

One of abbas greatest hits

Rutger Gunnarsson on base guitar is just the best.

What I loved about ABBA was that they weren't natural dancers. There was no manufactured choreography but they just bopped like anyone else would bop to music, which is another reason why they have so much universal appeal. I hate choreographed staging because it doesn't seen natural. With ABBA you could relate to them because they were singing to us and yet somehow were giving the impression they were including us in their performance. Frida just loves the experience, but Agnetha looks more uncomfortable.

I just love this song, one of their absolute best. This performance is from a tv special done in Japan. It was released on DVD some years ago. You've probably heard of disco demolition night that happened late in 1979. Because a rock radio dj was so upset many channels turned from rock to disco. But disco/dance music didn't die, it just evolved into many sub genres and there's a new appreciation of disco today. So that rock dj failed big time. He just ruined many artists careers instead.

Abba music is brilliant , just love them😊😊😊

Agree with you. It's the funky- and groovy-ness that makes this banger.

hello again good start to the week for You, and thanks for take this of my suggestion, with the link of the complete recording "If it wasn't for the nights" is a cute disco-style ABBA song that combines the contrast of dense lyrics with a catchy melody and impeccable singing by the duo Agnetha & Frida "If it wasn't for the nights" also has a story ABBA had been invited to participate in the UNICEF Benefit Concert and was going to go with this song, which was to be the new single (at these time Björn & Agnetha was in the middle of your separation) But weeks before ABBA composed a new song, a Masterpiece, that changed it's history: "Chiquitita" , "Chiquitita" was chosen by ABBA to perform in that World Concert, they premiered there and it was their new single, and its worldwide success was colossal (especially in Latin America) and "If it wasn't for the nights" finally wasn't a single, also was in the "Voulez Vous" album I like how You enjoy with these one specialy When give You the sugestiones I think that it is the kind of music that You like the most May your day continue well Kind regards from Buenos Aires Argentina

Bro, all of us know you've got a crush on Agnetha. But,,,this video, is Frida's absolute diva moment. This song is extremely underrated. Musically, it's perfect: vocals, strings, and of course, the BASS!! It should be, nowadays, considered an iconic disco era track , linning up with tracks such as I will survive and Bee Gees's ones.

Man, Frida is awsome here, but This two girls are different frome each other, Frida Frida is more of a dancer and Agnetha interprets and acts more in the songs with facial expressions and looks at the camera with sensuality, both are beautiful but Agnetha, for me, is the soul of ABBA.

10 years... that's how much time ABBA was active (8, if you count it from after Eurovision). ABBA were hit machines. So glad they are back, although I don't think they will release another album :-(

One of the best songs ever. Fantastic song. Please react to Two for the price of one and Tiger.

one of my favorites by them, off my favorite album from them. This song was written by Bjorn in the midst of his divorce from Agnetha (written at the same time he was writing The Winner Takes It All). This song, however, is a bit more upbeat than Winner :P EDIT: Disco NEVER died, it went underground for a few years & emerged back as House music, which is still going strong to this day :)

@@escorpioomega2111 If i am wrong, it's because Bjorn...you know, the WRITER of the song, is wrong. Google is free, use it. He wrote this song during their separation, about being lonely in his apartment at night. Seriously, do some fuckin research before pointing a finger at someone else. Wiki is a helpful tool towards not looking like a moron. Also, not sure you know HOW music recording works, but a LOT of times, songs are put on certain albums later for one reason or another. Just because "Winner" was released later doesn't mean they didnt go through marital issues previous to that. IN FACT, most divorces happen after extended times of problems. Christ, seriously, just do a bit of fucking research.

Utterly unaffected.. and Utterly brilliant

Disco era indeed. Highly underrated.😂💃🕺

The costumes are a mix...the guys have the kimonos from the Arrival period...the girls have the gold and white costumes from the 77 tour time period. The set was the Japanese company that produced it.

That’s one of my favourite song’s

I love ABBA and The Carpenters ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Not everything that has a beat is a disco song, I'd say this was more "Euro Pop" One of their best vocal performances.I love the fact that dancing wasn't really their thing, no professional choreography here, they just did It on impulse & that makes them even more endearing.

Yes - 1000 from 10 Points - Greetings from Europe 👍

I love the way you get the joy of the music we have had in our hearts from when ABBA was born into our lives, The minute ABBA songs play you just come alive there like an old familiar friend you never get tired of!

I wondered if you'd find one its a hidden gem f'sure. Not many people know it x

Yay! You finally reacted to this song! :D I actually didn't discover this song until the 1990s. I'd never even heard it back in the 70s or 80s when I was growing up with ABBA music. Now it's one of my favorite songs!

Fabian, I tell you the thought I have in mind. I can't figure out what exactly it is but when I hear this music I think of a musical on Broadway. Don't ask me why because I can't give you an answer but something in this music makes me think of that.

That sustained "aaaaah, so bad"! Those triplets on "staring at the wall"! ABBA took disco beyond its simple roots and even beyond the BeeGees.

Agnetha the Nordic goddess... damn...

You gotta see summernight city live at wembley if you love it so! Such an awesome build up that's not on the studio version. Loved seeing the joy on your face with this!

Summer Night City was released before the Voulez-Vous album that this came from. People often refer to the Voulez-Vous album as a disco because of songs like this the title track As Good As New and Angeleyes

This song completes me on so many levels

Powerful singing, high energy music and major chords are in contrast to the lyrics which are kind of sad. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind all of that. I'm no artist but I just love this song.

IF IT WASN'T FOR ABBA, THE WORLD WOULD BE SOOOOOOO POOR MUSIC WISE. YOU GOTTA COMMENT ON THIS TRACK FROM THIRD ALBUM: ABBA, INTERMEZZO NO.1, IT ROCKS 🤗

The tail end of the Disco Era

amazing!!

To understand ABBA, you're gonna have to chase a lot of rabbits down a lot of rabbit holes. ABBA's last album was ( The Visitors ) back in november 1981. They were pop/disco. As for their outfits/costumes, a lot of them looked goofy/fancy, that was their way/loophole to keep their money. Sweden was taking about 40% of their money in taxes. They had "costume designers" design/make costumes for them at very expensive rates (tax write off). (hey, make me me a $20 outfit but "charge" me a couple thousand... Their last 2 albums were very emotional. both couples were divorced/getting divorced. (these are 3 of their most emotional songs. S.O.S., Knowing me knowing you, The winner takes it all ). if you recently gone through NASTY divorce and are not over it, don't listen to those songs, they will bring up every emotion, dangerously....... I would love to learn the real reason they broke up as a group some say cheating, the girls got tired of the lime light and wanted to be mothers, Agnetha "went crazy" (check out their emergency plane landing in OKC (oklahoma city).. About 12 years ago they were offered a BILLION dollars to do a concert, they flat out said "nope"....... Frida did a solo album in 1984, her popular song "I know there's something going on" it supposed to be about Benny cheating on her. Agnetha did a few solo albums, lots of nice songs but not as big as ABBA. As of 2018 ABBA sold about 385 Million records. Benny and Bjorn are still writting and composing songs. FUN FACT.. ABBA gave their song "Chiquitita" to UNICEF. song rights, royalties, everything. any penny that song makes goes to unicef. side note. if you know anyone battling depression, tell them to listen to that song........ I can go on for days about ABBA.

Awesome 😎

If you like this one you should definitely check out Hole In Your Soul!

For their time the costumes where pretty run of the mill late 70's disco ..era

This one is strange because although they might be lip syncing (maybe), they have their regular musicians at the back.

You don't have many left to get through, People Need Love is one you should do to see how they started. It is a folk song, and before Benny and Bjorn realized that Frida and Agnetha should be the lead singers. The song is catchy, but far removed from what ABBA would become.
