Olivia! ABC-TV Special with Andy Gibb & ABBA - Ultra Rare TRUE STEREO !

  • ONE OF A KIND - FIRST GENERATION AUDIO. This is the concert segment IN TRUE STEREO from the 1978 special "Olivia!" Just prior to shooting this segment with a live orchestra, the audio guy asked if I would like a stereo feed of the sound. Of course I said yes and fed two three-quarter inch VCRs with the special feed. Stereo TV was not available widely until the mid-1980s. After completion of the special, I manually synced the 2" master of the show to my ¾" master and, viola, a stereo version of the concert with Andy Gibb, ABBA, and Olivia!
    Shot just days before it aired, the ABC-TV special "Olivia!" was the marathon of all television specials I edited while in Hollywood. For 36 nonstop hours, director Steve Binder (my all time favorite) and the post-production crew dashed toward an unbelievable deadline and beat it. This is the entire concert segment. The air version begins at 3:01 and ends prior to "Thank you for the Music" (which was used for closing credits). Please select 480p and full screen (and don't forget headphones!); the quality is matchless!

      It is all relative to the time you come from. People from the early 1900 would have found them indecent and underdressed. Imagine wearing a dress without a corset and wearing pants while swaying and singing on a stage, they would have thought of these women as prostitutes.

      Absolutely agree with you. But ABBA never had “ street credit in America because the so called musical journalist just could t get their head around the enormous commercial success and artistic appeal of these four humble Swedes.
      Even last year when they were nominated for their first Grammy after their release of their fantastic come back album Voyage after a 40 year hiatus -which itself is a historical feat- and bears the same name as their ground breaking ABBATar show - the New York Times critic called their music “ thin, thiin, thiin..

    As a former singer and performer, I have such deep respect and love for each of these singers. They were stunning and perfect!! It wasn’t just incredible voice and talent… it was how they could invoke the very best within our hearts and minds, without vulgar language, without hate and disrespect, without the need for “shock and awe”, and bring us together with deep resonating fun and unity. This was an era when musicians were truly larger than life because they earned it, pushed the very limits of what true talent can accomplish and create REAL stage magic. How I miss those days…

      @ Buford T. Justice you are so very right! These people were and are true musicians who composed and interpreted some of the most beautiful music ever produced. There are some amazing new musicians nowadays, but they're obscure by the flashy garbage that the industry promotes for the sake of the mighty dollar. I'm a singer also, now in my 60's. I occasionally join in some local bands, but it was never my intention to be a headliner. I sing for me because I like it, just as I cook for me and friends. My professional career is far away from my art and culinary skills. It may sound selfish, but that's the way it is.
      Thank you for such a thoughtful and heartfelt statement.

The closest to Disco that I'll go is a live version of "Shakedown Street" but the era saw those guys playing the "Stayin Alive" melody. Studio 54 would've been interesting but the sex and drugs more than the Disco. There were some songs of the era that weren't so bad but that's because I wasn't an adult yet and chose Rock, Metal, Punk, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Stones, Zepplin, CSN& sometimes Y, Jimi, Dylan, Ken Kesey, Owsley, Reggae, Funk, Bitches Brew, Joan Jett, Janis, the Who, etc. all were more important than the Disco but I remember the time-frame and Bee Gees, Blondie, Donna Summer and even the low point in the career of KISS. JOHNNY CASH and other stuff thanks to my dad and my mom still listened to The Beatles, MoTown, and other. Andy Gibb and Olivia are the best on this but I'll never state that this was the best of anything. I do remember being in the Philippines when I saw Grease and Saturday Night Fever the same night.

    ABBA- No auto tuned garbage. Just pro musicians making music live and staying in pitch and time because they had the chops. Even Andy Gibb is kicking it- and ‘Hopelessly Devoted” sounds great. You can understand why these folks are legends-

      Funny you should say that. ABBA is probably one of the very first pioneers of the computerized style of production that you are dissing. They used CUBASE and produced with the computer. They used all manner of studio trickery to get that "big" sound.

      @@TheLarryBrown "trickery" is one thing and totally faking voice pitch is another. its like comparing Star Wars wirh a sci fi movie in 2020 . Actually no , its even worse ..its like digitally changing bad acting like the movie Birdemic into a Meryl Streep performance

    I listened to all of these singers and musicians while I was growing up. I remember my parents having both the record and the 8 track version of ‘If You Love Me Let Me Know.” I played both of those so much! I had my own Abba and Andy Gibb albums. I’m sure I drove my parents crazy with how much I loved to listen to music.

    Hearing Andy Gibb harmonize with Abba and Olivia Newton John is so healing and gives me chills
