Very disappointed in this DVD.......2007-03-05

In a nutshell - A lot of useless, boring "FILLER" and very
little "CONCERT". Only diehard ABBA fans should purchase
this DVD; those fans who can't get enough of ABBA in any way,
shape or form. Those who want to sit back and enjoy a
"concert" on DVD should shy away from this piece of work.

This is probably great for the ABBA fan who wants to learn about the group, but if you are wanting a video of them doing what they do best, you will probably be disappointed. The DVD includes too much stuff that is not ABBA performing. The bits and pieces of their performances that are included are good, but I had hoped for more of a "concert" DVD as the title suggests.

Very nice.....I attended the concert in 1979 in San Diego, and the disc is very representative of that famous tour.

Great to see this on DVD now.............2006-10-15

I remember watching this video on a PBS Soundstage program in 1980 or 1981. Before that I my have heard of ABBA on radio but never paid much attention. But after seeing this documentary on PBS I was hooked on them. To bad it was at the end of them being a group. I recorded it on Beta Format tape at the time and have had it since [I still have a beta player in closet]. I often wondered how I could transfer it to DVD until I seen they had released it on DVD. I have watched it many times since and have enjoyed it just as much as I did the 1st time I ever seen it. I read a lot of gripping here on what is on this DVD. Remember this was a made for TV presentation. If you watch the interview of the guy that did the filming you will know why there is nothing more to add. If you go to this web site it explains it in detail [...] . I'm so happy to have it on DVD now. That is all I have to say about it....g'day

What's the best thing about this video? The big choral number "I Have a Dream" joined by what looks like eighty children at Wembley Stadium. Did ABBA find new children in every city in the 1979 tour and train them each briefly on the afternoon of the show? I don't think "I have a Dream" is a very easy number for kids to sing, with that long, held note on "I belieeeeeeve," and yet these kids sail into it like pros. I wonder if any of the 1979 kids grew up and became pop stars themselves? The ones you see on the documentary all look as though spotlights are second nature to them; in the light they seem to grow into ttheir full selves and find a brief happiness before being led off into the shadows of backstage. I wonder if a new documentary, rounding up these kids 30 years later, like that "7 Up" Michael Apted series tracing London schoolchildren into their teens and beyond, could be commissioned by the BBC so that finally we could see what happened to the little angels. I wonder if they were orphans or maybe just professional child actors from some RADA of childhood. Anyway that's one of my great highlights from ABBA IN CONCERT, which must have been filmed, in my estimation, just as "Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! (A Man after Midnight)" had been released as a single, and ABBA was in the process of seeking a harder, rockier sound.

Which really shows up in the best numbers here, among them the fiery, eclectically scored SUMMER NIGHT CITY, and perhaps only a little less successfully, HOLE IN YOUR SOUL, which borrows from old school 50s US a cappella groups and the big "Philles" sound of Phil Specter and Jack Nietzsche to create a mobius strip of sound, in which big bursts of guitar alternate with an eerie blast of silence, then the angelic voices of Agnetha and Frida rising to a shout. It's at this period that people were really looking at ABBA and asking themselves, are they the strange ones, or are we? Bjorn and Benny seem to be in constant control of their women, and yet they seem helpless, nearly stupefied, inn the face of so much sex appeal, like the sailors on brave Ulysses' crew, urged to stuff their ears with wax so that they wouldn't hear the sirens' song.
