    I saw them live in Boston in 1979. Their flight was delayed and the concert started late. As they went on stage, they apologized even though it wasn’t their fault. They said “we’re going to make it up to you!” And boy did they ever! Best concert I ever saw!!

    • @chelseacharger
      @chelseacharger 5 років тому +232

      Even more amazing. Their little private jet had to contend with one of the most damaging tornadoes to hit New England in modern times. The 'Windsor Locks Tornado' cost three lives and decimated a section of Bradley Airport. ABBA had to divert to Manchester. Conn. The stress of that flight caused Agnetha to become ill and the Washington concert the following day had to be cancelled.

    • @terryc.3390

      "Well, my dear, I shall get you a dictionary so you can keep on improving your English vocabulary." (To paraphrase the opening scene to The Spy Who Loved Me.)
      That's what was great about the 70s: Pop was fun. Bond was fun, not a robot. Nothing too forlorn or God-forsaken.

    • @Dustshoe

    • @Dustshoe
      @Dustshoe 7 років тому +9

      Hygur: as for Bond movies back then, in both the 60s and 70s, Bond oozed charm and had a sense of humour. People got their money's worth going to the cinema: they were entertained. The Bond movies in those days were all tongue-in-cheek. Even the Cold War had fun poked at it.

    The slight imperfections, the naivety in the English lyrics + the accents just add to the genuine melancholy. This is a pop masterpiece - perfect arrangement, perfect performance. Stunning.

    • @nussefuffs2098
      @nussefuffs2098 8 років тому +4

      It has two different choruses, one after the other?

    • @Dustshoe
      @Dustshoe 8 років тому +2

      Do you think that the accented singing adds a little more poignancy to the English lyrics because of the potential emotional sensitivity of anyone in an unfamiliar environment (and who thereby must have an accent) who also suffers a relationship break-down there? And who is thus cast even more adrift? (Who would likelier be without the same levels of support that someone without an accent would have).
      And what imperfections in the grammar or style of the lyrics do you detect? I do not see any.
      If you compare how letters and postcards were written in the mid-70s to those of today (if people still write letters and postcards!), then you would see a lazier attempt at writing generally today that's clumsy with wording.
      The net effect of that is a tendency towards insincerity and aloofness, because we are all told to rush around like headless chickens today - and letter-writing is a chore. Unlike yesterday. The art of song-writing has already died though.
      (In S.O.S., the protagonist singer, as I understand, is still on the periphery of her former boyfriend's life - down, but not out!)

    • @Dustshoe
      @Dustshoe 8 років тому +1

      In S.O.S., the protagonist singer is still on the periphery of her former boyfriend's life. She's down, but not out.
      That is what the lyrics convey to me. And no break-up of a strong relationship was ever a fait accompli - that's the message of this cleverly written and well-meaning song.

    • @MrBlueSkyMrNight
      @MrBlueSkyMrNight 8 років тому +1

      It's a pop song - but one of great depth. A song that most everyone can relate to / can connect strongly to - and yet would fear to hear (on a personal level). Hope and despair (the emotional plea for love to wake up again). Amazingly bitter and sweet with respect to lyrics and music. Powerful combinations.

The only one who is relatively close (due 45s sales) is Elvis Presley.

      Dancing Queen
      Knowing me, knowing you

      Another town, another train

    These guys have so many top tier songs. Can you all believe I didn't really know much at all about Abba until a couple weeks ago? I get a taxi every morning to town and it's about a 15-20 minute ride each way. It's always the same driver and he's got a playlist he always has playing and it's got some abba songs on it. I kept noticing that I'd always get one of their songs stuck in my head so I decided to look them up here and found a bunch more of their songs. I'm starting to get hooked and I'm beginning to bond with their music. They just make some top notch music that transcends genre bias. For instance, I'm big into rock and even heavy metal, but Abba is just so good at song writing that it doesn't matter to me that they're a pop band which isn't my normal genre. It's just that good. I'm glad my driver had a few Abba songs on the radio or else I never would have discovered alot of this stuff.

      The first time I listened to KAEOD and heard that little SOS riff, I had goosebumps. What an incredible gift, to get what is essentially a sequel to a classic song all these years later. Wonderful.

      SOS came out in 1976, I believe. They weren't divorced then.

    I think it's the best song of ABBA. Most of all I like the dramatic arrangement, mix of slow melody and fast refrain. Agnetha and Frida are excellent singers and did their best for this brilliant composition. It's an evergreen, unforgettable for all times and a milestone in the music history.

      25 million for those days is equivalent to your 100 million today! Taylor and Kanye don't even register in most countries on this planet! ABBA is known in every corner of the earth! I know, having traveled extensively.
