I love to watch the video of Bjorn, Anni-Frid, and Benny’s performance of Why Did It Have to be Me in Australia in 1977. The exuberance of the song and performance is wonderful. Watching it over and over, I eventually discovered this video. I really enjoy this version of Why Did It Have to be Me. Benny is such a talented composer and musician. He appears to have mellowed with age, but I noticed that at about 3:25 into the song he started to jump up like he did when ABBA performed the song so many years ago. You really can see and feel the joy of the performers and audience. The orchestra (Orkester) and singers are great and they appear to be having such fun performing the song for their audience…and themselves. I am happy I found this version. I added to my favorites playlist.
Although I'm Norwegian I've loved Swedish music all my life, especially what has come from Benny Andersson and his arrangements. Björn Ulvaeus must not be forgotten either.. And the voices of Helene Sjöholm, Tommy Körberg.. They are marvellous!!
I´m a Swede and I´m so critical toward anything Swedish. I don´t live abroad without a reason. But when it comes to music... Wow! My deepest respect to my fellow Swedes!
I can’t believe it’s been 12 years since I first saw this clip! So much has happened in the ABBA world since then; but it just shows they Benny and friends always put on a great show! ❤❤❤
So you know all composers around the world - right? Gosh, you music consumers make me sick. Music is not athletics, there is no first, no fastest or no strongest guy. So why don´t you write that you just like it a lot? That would be enough.
@@anonymusum Do you know any better music/song-writer? I dont. I mean, Hep stars, ABBA, BAO, Chess, Kristina från Duvamåla. He is the only person i know that writes pop-music, musicals AND "gammaldans"... BUT, i can agree, this is no contest. Paul McCartney/John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Michael Jackson where all great music/song-writers, among many.
Min tipoldefar var svensker. Måske er det derfor at jeg elsker dette store skønne land? Jeg elsker skovene søerne og ikke mindst musikken. Godt at Sverige findes!
History repeats! Like in the Savoy Ballroom New York in the thirties, when everybody starts dancing at the beginning of "Sugar Foot Stomp" performed by Fletcher Hendersons orchestra
Well seeing Benny has still got the rocker instinct....Helen and Tommy both give a cracking performance of `why did it have to be`. Got the crowd up with them too.....the old Abba magic is still there......even Benny,even in his 60`s,gets into the rocker beat....I would love a copy of that concert on CD. Tack,tack sa mycket....en kredt till sverige
ABBAsolutely fantastic, you couldn't but get up and start dancing to this and nice to see all the musicians enjoying it too. Mind you, it's a perfect song to start with.
Just discovered his full name. Göran Bror Benny A. Eller som vi sejer på norska "jøran"....ingen vet hvor han gjøran....". "Bror" means brother in english.
Undrar varför inte radion spelar Anni Fridas "Även en blomma"! Har inte hört den nångång faktiskt. Refrängen på den är ju outstanding. Hoppas, hoppas, hoppas
Old ?, that's a state of mind-body says no but the mind is forever young as long as we have great music like this. ABBA, he MOODY Blues, an so on. Do have a question, who is singing
This version is very similar to the original version...even the performance of the singers. So mellow and hearty! Additionally the greatest example to me sits at the piano!!
as an old musician once said "good music goes right to the legs" - and so does this.......

Oh man THIS IS MUSIC AT ITS BEST.!

Watching in Ottawa, Ontario, 🇨🇦 September 2021 and loving it!!
Love how the kids enjoy the music and dance :)
Dall'Italia, viva tutti gli amici svedesi e tutte le cose belle della Svezia.
Thanks Benny for keeping some of these old songs alive. I wish Bjorn and the girls still loved his music as much as you do.
2 of the best voices in Sweden. This is from a dear neighbour. ;) From Norway. They are so good, fantastic.
Agree!!
Du har helt rätt!
So good! #IbelieveinGod
Heja Sverige..vi behöver mer av detta XXXXXXX
Still loving this 8 years later!!! 💕🤣🤩👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
same 8 years and 9 months later
OH WHAT A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE FOR ME!!! I COULD EVEN SING ALONG IN PARTS!!!
Benny is simply the worlds best writer of music.

The music is good , Benny can do no wrong he is great.
👍👍👍👍🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Tommy Körberg and Helena Sjöholm is the BEST we got in Sweden!!!!!!
They sure are nice, but I would say that we got hundreds of singers just as good as these two. (Just think of the Real Group and similar...)
In Europe!
So many instruments,, the joy to present and just go for it. Of course Good singers, Benny is naturkid from beginning
Jäkligt bra abbalåt! Jag älskar hur tommy o helen framför den. Satt i publiken
Håller med dig!
Supre flotte artistrer😊😊😅
I love this so much cant stop watching and listening ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ABBA are timeless, and BAO is simply perfect! By the way: I adore Tommy since the album CHESS and I collect all of him on TH-cam.
Love the "Happy Hawaii" intro!
I just cannot get enough of this song!
This brings me so much joy. It is my dream to just enjoy so something so serenely. I come here to watch this so like everyday in covid lockdown.
omg me toooo!!!
@@susmitpanzade8338 🤣
You can actually dance to this music..thats something that you cant do to modern so-called music.Just look at how much fun they are having.
+gordon draper -and not spaced out on drugs, either
+gordon draper Totally agree. Very contagious tempo, just want to get up and dance. This is fun without getting rowdy.

Havhestur but benny was alcoholic when abba was big. He said that an interview in 2000
I liked how they opened with "Happy Hawaii"
Oh how i love this song!
Helen definitely channeling Frida! Lovin it.

The vocals are tremendous...

Helen Sjöholm - what a voice...Love it!
lpm1 helens voice is like honey

A mixture of honey and gunpowder ("svart-krut") :)
great camera shot @3:37 catches the joy of performing before a live audience.

This is how ABBA should sound in modern times! :-)
BAO has a pretty old fashioned sound though.
And you are so right now. Just listen to Just a notion…
Amazing.
The live version with Frida in 1977 will never be topped.
James Maass but that isnt the point here is it now.
agreed.
Det låter underbart bra, helt otroligt
Great to see Helen Sjöholm perform here, for those who haven't heard or seen it: Gabriella's song in As it is in heaven.
Undrar varför inte radion spelar Anni Fridas "Även en blomma"! Har inte hört den nångång faktiskt. Refrängen på den är ju outstanding. Hoppas, hoppas, hoppas
Sveriges bästa
Great Sound !!!
❤❤❤
Det svänger!
Helen stirs lightning in the hearts of man for her
love the'Happy Hawaii' intro....brilliant song.loveabba. .
It comes on dvd in november along with all albums, called BAO IN BOX.
nice to see we're all getting older!
Old ?, that's a state of mind-body says no but the mind is forever young as long as we have great music like this. ABBA, he MOODY Blues, an so on. Do have a question, who is singing
I did say *Older* not old! ......you're right about the music, it never ages!
nice to hear James, I just hope the knees and the rest of my body will keep up!
I totally agree. BAO is a great group and I have almost all of their CD's. There seems to be no market in the US for good fun music like this.
Most of his stuff in swedish. So what part of usa speak swedish?
@@tamasfischer2464 So you have to understand Swedish to be able to enjoy the music?
This version is very similar to the original version...even the performance of the singers.
So mellow and hearty! Additionally the greatest example to me sits at the piano!!
the 2011 is thee best .more personal connection with Helen and tommy and the audience
Still love it! 😊😊
