Editorial Review: Studio: Uni Dist Corp (music) Release Date: 10/03/2006 Abba - In Concert 1979 Reviews: Don't do it  2009-08-31 - Big disappointment......no concert format....broke up...incomplete ( I have a dream)

GO FOR THE GOLD HITS. DVD. DON O.
ABBA DVD  2009-01-31 - The sound quality wasn't as good as it should have been. Not enough of their concerts. Too much filler.
For every ABBA fan  2008-08-07 - My only complaint about the CD is the duration. Songs are incomplete and some just play in the background, like Eagle. A lot of footage showing the members preparing, rehearsing etc are shown. If only more songs had been recorded it would only have satisfied more discerning ABBA fans like me. ABBA is truly a great live act. They sold out Wembley on consecutive nights, something that even seasoned rock acts weren't capable of. I don't listen (or watch them) like I do with other bands but they have certainly stood the test of time as their fan base keeps growing even to this very day.
When I started listening to pop and rock in the early 80's ABBA was my favorite. Only The Beegees could make a better impression. The other band was Boney M that I stopped listening to in those early years but Lonely Planet, the travel authority mentions that Boney M is still played in pubs in some south-east asian countries. However ABBA is going to be remembered and listened to as long as pop lives.
Sound and picture quality are great on this DVD. I only wished it had lasted longer.
5 stars, inspite of the complaint.
Steve B's review  2008-05-27 - Expected them to play more of their hits.The video spent more time on behind the scenes footage than the actual concert itself.It was also to short.The greatest hits DVD is much better.
ABBA in Concert  2008-02-20 - The 1979 Wembly Arena concert in London encompassed footage from the American tour. The group maps out the tour on a cake shaped like the U.S. The cities are mostly across the northern tier. In London, they wear blue and white spandex against a background of icebergs. The concert is grand, and ABBA is poised. Frida's dance routine in Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! is enjoyable. Her movements have the grace of a professional dancer. The women look to be six feet tall! Voulez-Vous is smooth. Hole In Your Soul has more fire than the studio cut. And isn't it provocative when the women kneel beside the jamming Lasse Wellander on Does Your Mother Know? Benny tickles the ivories midway through I Have A Dream, and Agnetha's eyebrows go up for Take A Chance On Me. Agnetha's daughter, Linda, appears for I Have A Dream. As a finale, Benny drags out his accordion for The Way Old Friends Do. This live version is on the Super Trouper album. Soaking up the applause!
