ABBA Songs That Were Never Performed

- A compilation of all of ABBA's songs that were seemingly never performed, whether live in concert, on a TV show, or a promo clip. For this compilation, I did not include the different language versions of songs because I was lazy, I also didn't include any of the demo tracks from ABBA undeleted as those songs were technically never finished so they wouldn't have been performed live (technically Dream World, I Am The City, and Put On Your White Sombrero were also not finished during ABBA's active years and only completed in the 90s... but who cares). I used this lovely website ABBA The Concerts (www.abba-theco...) to help with this list, especially with the setlist for the 1973 tour. While we have no visual footage of ABBA performing Nina Pretty Ballerina live, they did perform it during their 1973 tour, hence why it's not included in this video. Also, you may be thinking, "Where's Lay All Your Love On Me and The Visitors? ABBA didn't perform those songs!" and while true, they didn't perform them during ABBA's first 10 years, the ABBA members did perform them, as well as "I Still Have Faith In You" and "Don't Shut Me Down", for the Voyage concert. Also, I do not count footage of ABBA recording the Voyage album as them performing the songs.
Anyways, we don't technically know the setlists for ABBA's 1974-75 tour, so they may have performed songs that I included in this compilation, but we really have no way of knowing that.
Also, interestingly, almost every single song from the original LP of Arrival has been performed in some way or form, which is pretty cool. (No, the cartoon of Happy Hawaii doesn't count as a performance either.)
So yeah, I hope you enjoy. :3 Of course if I missed anything, feel free to let me know, but BE POLITE.

A lot of their songs that were never performed were wonderful!
There's not an ABBA song that I didn't like. They are the best pop sensation ever!
"Move on" was one of my all-time favorites. Sent it to my son when he graduated from high school.
"Andante Andante" ... one of Frida's finest vocals.
"Our Last Summer"... Frida's vibrato is prominent and superb. When moments in time become memories.
Always awesome Creativity... thank you for sharing! 💖
Hetmosas ca ciones que yo descubri varias en 2021 y no las habia escuchadoy me parecen espectaculares!❤❤❤❤
Dance While the Music Still goes on is incredible, Just a Notion great, I Let the Music Speak is a masterpiece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love these songs. I have them on my albums. Now I have all the albums on CDs. I’ve been an ABBA fan since I was 11 back 1974.
❤ Als eingefleischter ABBA Fan kennt man die verstecktern Songs alle 😊 Da sind einige Ohrwürmer versteckt!😊 Danke für die Auswahl
I love ABBA, i love "Andante, Andante !!!
@marcelpop8869 'Andante, Andante' is my favourite as well! It is gorgeous! ❤ ❤
90% davon kenne ich so gut, dass ich sie mitsingen kann. 😅 ABBA Fan eben.
Some of the songs still give me goosebumps!! Abba fan since 1974 (when I was just 9 y.old! 😁🥰)
i am a fan since 1975. And I still love those songs. Sometimes they make me sad because those days are gone
@@kleist229 sam here. When I purchased the new album The Voyage, I cried and cried for days ...
@@dejanija I can't listen to "hasta manana" song for example, I get very emotional. I am 58 now living alone. In last September my dad passed away and in may my girlfriend. Life was so easy and beautiful in the 70s
The Piper is one of my all time favorites 🤍🤍
I love the piper but not as much as you owe me one
Another town another train always one of my favorites.x move on - a hidden classic.
And also Nina Ballerina
"Dance (While the music still goes on)" 💖
I love that song! Used to play it in repeat mode 😊
Great idea , and great compilation
My favourites from these list:
Another town, another train
Dance (while the music still goes on)
Move on
The Piper
You owe me one
One special apart to
Disilusion
Dance While The Music Still Goes On
is my fafourite. So an nice song..
Great.
I love them all another town another train and Elaine are favorites
I love the songs on their new album Voyage so amazing so treasured and unforgettable so emotional to listen to Thanknu Abba ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well I’ve obviously heard the songs that were on the albums I’ve got , but there are so many I’ve never heard. Oh it would be wonderful if ABBA put all these songs together on a double album, yes Every song! I’m sure all true ABBA fans would Definitely purchase and love this. I’m one for sure! They are all Fantastic songs! Please ABBA. Been a fan for 47 years ❤
True ABBA fans should already have these songs as all of them are available on their individual albums, albeit some only on the deluxe editions.
@@tomjasper415 As I already said I have most of these songs on all of ABBA’S Albums! I just said it would be a nice idea to put the other songs onto an Album. I thought that would be a good idea in my opinion!
@@tomjasper415 And just to let you know I’ve been an ABBA fan for 47 years! I Am Definitely a True ABBA Fan!!!
What have you never heard in those 47 years 🤔 There is so much to find on TH-cam
@@Eagle-dv1gy I’ve Heard them All!!!!!!!!! I just casually said that it would be nice to have all those songs on a separate Album! Obviously not the ones that are already on other albums just the ones that are not! How hard is that to understand?
I would buy abba songs that where never preformed on cd they are are great songs .abba you all have changed the way I listen to music .dundee uk
Koop de collectie cd's in een box dan heb je alle nummers
I bought every ABBA songs on cd 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love "Another town, another train" and "Dance". I think these songs were underestimated
SOLDIERS GREAT SONG!!! ABBAAAAAAAAAA!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
One of the very best!
The Visitors has less chances to have songs performed for obvious reasons
@@SebaZero WHICH ARE???♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This was their last album just before their retirement from the musical scene (as a group), so there were no tours or concerts besides some live performances in TV shows with individual songs
I can’t believe they never performed Angeleyes!!!!
Right?
Angeleyes surprises me, given it was a single.
Only in the UK though where the record company flipped it with the other A~side Voulez~Vous making it A1. Most other countries went with Voulez~Vous with its shiny new video.
Interesting video! I might add 'Lay All Your Love on Me', which ABBA themselves never performed either, only their avatars do so now in the ABBA Voyage show.
As if time just stands. ABBA FOREVER FOREVER 👍👍👍👍👍
My specials are Andante, Andante and Move on.
So many beautiful songs.
Thank you for your music, ABBA❤
I love all of these.Another town is also beautiful ❤️❤️
Move On, AngelEyes , Andante , Our Last Summer, I let the Music Speak, Like an Angel...,Should I laugh or cry - great songs
Went to funeral of a huge ABBA fan their exit song was Move On from abba was beautiful words seemed perfect
Fast alle,bis vom letzten Album alle mit gesungen.Klasse danke Abba,ihr habt mit eurer wundervollen Musik,mein Leben bereichert.❤️
Lay All Your Love On Me unfortunately and unforgivably never been performed either live or mimed. 😢
Only on ABBA voyage concert
This song is performed on Voyage Arena.
Lovelight is such a great song. It should’ve been a single.
It was a single B-side in the UK (Voulez-Vous I think, not sure. I have it somewhere)
It was the B-side to Chiquitita.
Salió en el sencillo con Chiquitita.Fue el primer disco que tuve de ABBA💖
@@GRAHAMAUS I did not know it was available in some countries. Maybe I should’ve said it should be an a side
I think she meant never performed live or in tv shows. I believe. Anyway itvis good to hear Abba. .
Thank you very much! SO many good songs!
You missed to include Nina Pretty Ballerina. I don't think Abba performed it live.
"Arrival" was performed in a "Studio 2" TV programme in Poland in 1976. To a full playback though.
Love every song. Every song a treasure. Play them at full length next time.
Once as a fan I had had all the LP`s earlier in my youth. My favorits are disillusion move on., our last summer, I let the music speak,Ode to freedom
Keep an Eye on Dan is my favorite from Voyage :)
HOW WAS ANGELEYES NEVER PERFORMED???
Because it was only ever released in the UK as the A1 side of the double A~side with Voulez~Vous. it was a recording company decision to make Angeleyes A1 even though there was no performance or video to promote it.
Angel eyes was radio. Voulez-vous was TV
Une tres belle idée pour une grande compilation de tous ces titres de ABBA . Mes chansons favorites : What about Livingstone , Suzy - hang - around , Move on , Our Last Summer , Andante ,andante Dream World , When you danced with me , Ode to freedom . Merci Beckyfan56 d'avoir partagé cette compilation ❤❤❤
I 'm surprised they never did ATAT from the Ring Ring album.Not even in their '74/'75 continental Euro tour?BTW OMOW from the ALBUM was rumoured to be performed for only once in their '79 Canadian tour that was their very first gig there Edmonton i think.
One Man One Woman was performed once, at the first concert on the 1979 tour of North America. It didn't go well and was dropped from the setlist.
@@123billydog hi there!yes i read 'it didn't go well" but i wonder why?or what was meant by that.Didn't 'work' well as i live track?it's such a great song and so American-ish anyway.
I love all these song's there is no such thing as a bad ABBA song ❤🎉😊
There is no bad ABBA song indeed
All of these songs are great, so it really shows how much talent they had. I know Benny once said there are two songs he and Bjorn probably wished they hadn't recorded, but I am not sure which ones they might be. There are no bad ABBA songs of which I am aware.
Dance (While the music still goes on) most likely one of the most underrated songs.
Als ich den Song von Frida, Like an Angel passed through my Room hörte musste ich voll heulen.Ich liebe fast alle Songs von Abba ,ich habe aber auch meine ganz persönliche Lieblings Songs von Frida und Anna,die ich immer wieder gerne höre.Einen Tag ohne Abba Songs gibt es nicht seit 1974 fur mich.❤️ Ich überlege mir welchen Titel man auf meiner Beerdigung von ihnen spielen könnte.
Head over heels !
Head Over Heels had an offical Video
@@adamdan41 but not the performance. and this video are songs that were not played at concerts and performances
@adamdan41 , read the video not performed live
Einige davon sind aber schon auf Singles veröffentlicht...Man in the Middle ist die B Seite von SOS ,Crazy World von Money Money Money usw...aber trotzdem schon super schön...Vielen Dank 🥰
Crazy they never performed Move On and those songs on Voulez-Vous
My mama said, dance while the music still goes on, man in the middle, arrival, move on , angel eyes, andante, our last summer, the piper, soldiers, let the music speak, like an angel passing through my room....those songs are well known. You are naming almost the intire album of Voyage. I must admin they dont ring a Bell to me. I was a big ABBA fan and i thought i knew all their songs. I have almost all the albums youve mentioned. Nice to know there is dtill something to explore
Abba forever ❤
Never had a bad song.
'Our Last Summer' was also performed as part of the 'Dick Cavett Show', but was later cut out, unfortunately!
Бальзам на душу.
да, действительно бальзам на душу.
разве наша дорогая Бекки не рада порадовать нас, поклонников abba uber, такими уникальными публикациями.

Nice video and great idea. Just to clarify, Arrival appear in the final credits of ABBA in Poland and tv special ABBAdabadoo in 1976.
You could say the same for Nina Pretty Ballerina though neither show the group performing those songs.
@@123billydog Not performing but has playing meanwhile Frida, Benny & Björn are in the airplane at ABBA In Poland Special
Move On is amazing!!!
Musical gems
What about Livingstone sounds so good! and many others too. I'm glad I watched this video
I don't think Lay All Your Love On Me was ever performed? Certainly not live.
It's in the ABBA Voyage show in London
@@haraldroelofs Yeah I guess. It's the old studio vocals though.
Best songs of Abba in my opinion 1) the visitors 2) Eagle 3) Cassandra 4) the piper 5)move on
Es imposible para mí hacer una lista como lo ha podido usted; las canciones de ABBA son joyas de la grabación
The visitors is my number 1 too
There are so many wonderful songs they never promote in videos, or perform in their shows, but, somehow I understand them, it would have taken their entire lives just to spend touring and promoting all their songs...
Holle in jour soul ,live,,,the best 👍
50 years ago
Waterloo (ᗅᗺᗷᗅ) won ESC
April 6 1974 also same day
Hooked on a Feeling
First #1 on Billboard from Sweden
🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪
Didn't know any of the songs except our last summer 😊
My favorite songs in this list are: Place No.: 4: WHEN YOU DANCED WITH ME (Voyage)
3. JUST A NOTION (Voyage)
2: MOVE ON (The album) - and one of the greatest Abba songs at all:
1: THE PIPER (Souper Trouper)
Yes they did 🤗. I saw the performence today on TH-cam. They were in Switzerland or Germany. It was a tv show. Frida had a golden skirt and was purple in her hair. You must have seen it. If you count tv-perfomance as an performence you have to add this one to the list.
I believe you're referring to Cassandra, which they performed one time on the German TV show Show Express in 1982! The song does feature the same instrument arrangement as Put On Your White Sombrero, but is a completely different song! Put On Your White Sombrero wasn't publicly heard until 1994 when it was released for the first time on the Thank You For The Music Box Set. 😊
MANY of the songs on this list, were performed LIVE!!
Why have they never been performed?
Watch Out ( which I love ),,,,,,,,,,That's Me. ( but there was a video )..........
There talking about being performed live in concert
Me and Bobby and Bobbies brother , was performed on UNICEF GALA , ABBA IS THE BEST🥰😍🤩😘😊
My mama said, Like an angel passing..., Our Last summer, My kind of girl, so many great songs. And you forget Gonna sing you my love song, that gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.
I am just a girl❤❤❤
Great songs move on should of been on an albums loved thesesongsi am a true abba fan
"Arrival" and "The Piper" are two of my Abba favourites. Surely they would both have sounded great live.
Disillusion was performed in a Tour Show , Song was written by Agnetha...
Me and Bobby and Nobby´s Brother = Já a Honza a Honzův brácha - Miluše Voborníková (Czech Version 1974)!!!
I´am just a Girl = Lístok spiatočný - Bezinky (Slovak version 1975)!!!
Dance (while the Music still goes on) = Sen - Helena Vondráčková a Hana Buštíková (Czech version 1977)!!!
Move on = Včera a dnes - Helena Blehárová (Czech version 1978)
Andante, andante = Andante, andante - Jarmila Veselá (Czech version 1981)
ABBA my Love❤
Angeleyes was never performed??.
Neva!not even in on tv by ABBA except from a small part of its audio that was presented during the single's review in UK and got a miserable review by a celebs jury during the show.But people in Uk loved it.
Dance, Move on, Andante Andante (especially Spanish), The Piper.
Abba performed Dance While the Music Still Goes On as part of their Australian Bandstand special in 1976.
...and "Just like that!".
Is unreleased
I'm sure I've heard ... oh, I see,, never _performed_. Yes, I can see that. I think Arrival would have made a good show track. It's hard to believe none of these were performed - there are so many great tracks there!
What about Livingston is one of my very favorite ABBA songs and I really wish they had performed it live.
Björn (or Benny?) performed Ode to Freedom with a choir, I believe. But it wasn’t all four members of ABBA
I was thinking about my favourite ABBA songs recently. Apart from the favourites, you listed quite a few of my favourites.
I would like to see a top 10 of the fans,
I enjoyed that, thank you for posting.
Disillusion has been played by Agneta at conserts
Do you have a source for this? During the 79 tour Agnetha did perform 'I'm Still Alive' which she co~wrote with Bjorn.
The ABBAtars can do The Piper and Should Laugh Or Cry if they need to add extras in the future.
Tunes for ABBA Radio
Angeles and move on were performed. I have those two. Andante and the piper, those two, were also performed.
A great video, thank you! I think Agnetha performed Disillusion as a solo on the Wembly tour of '79 which I was lucky to go to and believe Angel Eyes may have been performed in Switzerland in '78 or '79. Such a long time ago but seems like yesterday.
You are close...Well actually Agnetha performed ''I am still alive" Wembley '79 and she played the piano in that self penned track live.''Angeleyes'' was never performed live,also not in the Swiss show neither by the 4some in any other show..
'Arrival' WAS 'performed' at ABBA in Poland as an intro!!!
Klingt super...
"Put on your white sombrero" I think they perfomed. Maybe also in spanish. 😍👍
no they didnt. A dutch singer did however cover and perform Sombrero.
I feel like when they were trying to be like the Beatles is when they didn't do too well. But when they kept to their authentic niche, they had success. We still want a proper recording of Just Like That. And Move On, Angel Eyes, Andante Andante, and Our Last Night are some of their best recordings. And SOLDIERS 😭😍
Also Arrival was perfected by Sarah Brightman. So that's a consolation.
I don't think Arrival wasn't performed on their tour
Move on was performed in Australia
My Mama Said 🙂
Hay muchas cantadas por Björn
When they performed Head Over eels and One of Us?
