Performer Notes:
- ABBA: Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Anni Frid Lyngstad, Agnetha Faltskog.
- Recorded live on tour of Australia in 1977; Wembley Arena, Wembley, England in 1979; the DICK CAVETT MEETS ABBA TV show in 1981.
- Digitally remastered by Jon Astley & Tim Young.
- Featuring 13 classic ABBA hits recorded at London's Wembley Arena in 1979 and two more ("Fernando," "Money Money Money") from the 1977 Australian tour documented in ABBA: The Movie, ABBA LIVE was released in 1986, five years after the Swedish supergroup's breakup. Given the time frame, the track listing is top-heavy with mid-period (1976-'79) classics, with only 1974's "Waterloo" dating from the group's early bubblegum years.
- The most obscure songs included here are the relatively small hits "On and On and On" and "Two for the Price of One" and Bjorn's vocal spotlight "Does Your Mother Know?" Arrangements and vocals stay close to the studio versions but avoid the pitfall of exact replication. The crowds are wildly enthusiastic but not intrusive. The nicely designed package includes many excellent late-'70s photos of the group.
