5 out of 5 stars guitarmaker.......2007-05-28

Probably the most complete, entertaining, & inspiring video I've seen on this talented group. If you're an ABBA fan, this DVD/Video is a must. If you're not a fan, you will be after watching it.

4 out of 5 stars WINNER TAKES IT ALL - ABBA.......2005-07-28

Really liked it - Did not know much about the group other than the fact that I liked what they did.
Very happy I purchased it and would recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars This was the ABBA story..........2005-06-23

This DVD was rather good. I enjoyed hearing about how ABBA started and what lead them to each other. I didn't mind all the Mama Mia segments because it was very interesting to learn how they remastered all the songs for the musical. It was also enjoyable to see the early clips of everyone. It would have been nice to hear more about the group than see portions of their videos. The video portions were too long.

I also purchased the videos in an Amazon package deal. It was worth it.

5 out of 5 stars This is the one to have!!.......2005-01-09

If you, like me, feel somewhat cheated in having missed the Abba era, then this is the video you will want to watch. I can't think of anyone who has not been influenced by, or has never heard any of Abba's hits on the radio. This is definatly the video to have if you are a fan or if you just love their music. While this video does not have full sound tracks on it, it does have enough good music and video that shows the power and history of the group from start to finish, the end of an era, in my eyes. After watching this video I felt a loss, not from the video, but, from not having experienced more from Abba. This one is a must have for anyone that loves music. Abba's music has touched all of us at some time or another. I reccommend also purchasing "Abba, The definative Collection" also on DVD, a collection of their music videos.
And just in case anyone from Abba reads this I just want to say "Thank you for the music"!! If they ever decide to create another CD I know I will be first in line to buy it and would spend days in line to get a ticket for a concert.

5 out of 5 stars A great story about THE Swedish Pop Group!.......2004-02-07

Having first listened to ABBA in early 1970's, I was thrilled to find their story on DVD some 30 years later. This DVD does a great job of telling their stories, both as a group and individually. I remember the wild clothes they wore when they sang Waterloo at Eurovision, so seeing how they have changed in the last 30 years and how their lives changed was real special for me. The music is great and so are the interviews. The most telling comment I can make about this DVD and the music they performed over the years is to use the title of one of their song, "Thank You For The Music." The songs you're singing, Thanks for all the joy you're bringing. Buy it, watch it, and remember the music.
