and they almost didn't release it!. to this day they think "nah, that one is bad, it shouldn't have been released". are they insane? it's one of their best songs!.
@@pelgervampireduckthat’s nuts. This is the song that got me into the world of abba. Someone was playing it in a Zoom meeting and I asked what song it was. It was one of the catchiest tunes I’d heard and later realized that it wasn’t a very popular song compared to their other ones
PURE ENERGY ! i saw them live 1979 in germany. what a great concert. you would enjoy "Voulez-Vous" or "Lay all your love on me". so many hits more to discover. welcome to the ABBA trip !!
I listen to this concert in full sometimes, it's available as Abba Live at Wembley Arena in Spotify... One of the best and most epic concerts I've heard.
Bass = The great Rutger Gunnarsson. The Swedish James Jamerson and easily one of the most underappreciated guitarists in pop/rock history. Man's a bad man!
Thanks for the reaction. You should do "Does Your Mother Know - Hole In Your Soul" segment from this concert. Really shows off all their talent and them all working together to rock the house. Lots of people have heard a couple of their big hit's and think they know them but really have no clue. ABBA was very diverse and did so many genres so well. I think you'll be amazed if you really check them out.
In my view,although everything ABBA does its highest quality,this is probably one of my favorites..and also,one of my favorites of their live performances as well....they gave a GREAT show here..no doubt.....
Actually both Agnetha and Frida and some of the background singers are singing in the background. Thomas Ledin is really supporting Björn, who is a decent singer, but could use the backup (he said so himself). I love how they weave a tapestry of vocals. ABBA‘s specialty. I also hear a lot of classical arrangements in the background. Benny likes Bach. You can hear that here, also in SOS.
Thomas Ledin was great in this show. I could definitely hear the Bach undertones, also when Benny plays gammal fäbodpsalm, although not composed by Bach it has that sound.
Björn was once asked about the name Abba and if it was corny, and he said "yes we should probably have found a better name". When the interviewer asked "like what" he said.. "something cool, like.... 'the rolling stones''... or 'roxy music' maybe". Nice hommage to colleagues :).
So glad to see someone react to this and as a result totally change their perception of ABBA. This live version is very different from the studio version. I was their on Nov. 9th 1979 and the weird thing was because the start is so very different and slow none of us realised which song it was. Thats why as Bjorn sings the second line you can hear a round of applause as we (60,000 people) have all twigged at the same time which one it is.
I remember that like it was yesterday! A familiar sound and lyrics at first but not quite sure what it was then WHAM. I was there on 5th November and we had exactly the same reaction. Fantastic.
Spectacular, I wish I could have been there. But I was only 1 year old, so that kind of put the knackers on that. You should also listen to the studio version, it's rather different but what you're missing here is the lush strings arrangement, and the pumping bass line in the middle eight. Both versions are supreme though.
This is my favourite live ABBA performance of all time. It's got everything. I should of been a huge hit but it wasn't promoted as such by ABBA at the time.
The really magic thing with this song is that in has at least two bridges that you can almost hear a kind of oriental melody in and that intercedes with the main theme, played on the keyboard by Benny and sung by Björn and Anni-Frid. In this particular video though, the keyboard is almost unnoticable. You need to listen to the stuido version for these parts.
I love this band, ever since the -70`s. Please do react to Does your mother know - Hole in your soul from the same concert and The day before you came MV and I`m a marionette. It will give you a hint of how versatile this band is/was. The harmonies of those two ladies are breathtakingly beautiful. Stay safe.
Nice to see you I really enjoy so much with yout great reaction I see in the comments five request for "Hole in your soul" (three of their with "Does your mother know") And I agree with all those ABBA fans Now, with me, you have six request ! I noticed that you made so many reacts to Queen (great group too) I hope that you give some time to ABBA They are so versatil group and I believe you will enjoy with their music British people loves so much ABBA from Eurovision in April 1974 with "Waterloo" And in November 1979 ABBA close their American/European Tour in U.K.( in the encore ) with the iconic "Waterloo"
An extremely underrated and little known ABBA song is "I am the City". It is hard to imagine how someone can turn a description of a city into song, yet alone a brilliant one so I urge you to give it a listen. It is probably the most complete and accurate summary description of a city ever. If a picture paints a thousand words then what have ABBA's music achieved here?
Listen to "Eagle" the long version with a 2 minutes guitar solo at the end th-cam.com/video/MEieLT0QfLo/w-d-xo.html , it is an Album cut, the first number from "The Album" (1977) Heavy metal and rock patern on this one. You also have "The Name of The Game" one of their best, most complex and textured song. It was sampled by The Fugees "Rumble in The Jungle". My personal favorite album along with their last album "The Visitors"
The whole song is basically a tribute to Stockholm in the summer, when it is truly a summer night city - warm, comfortable nights, parties and concerts, festivals, celebrations, everyone's on vacation, beautiful weather (usually), music, dancing, food, drinking... I don't even live near there, but every time I've been there in the summer there's been an Energy to the city, one that often shocks people who think Swedes are reserved, quiet bores. We're not, we just take work seriously. :-D
You should now react to the Official studio video even though the live version is great you get more from the studio version. But the best live performance@Wembley (in my opinion) is Hole In Your Soul, amazing. Love your reaction.
This is my first time listening to this song as well! I know other big hits from my youth, used to listen to some of their popular songs. Amazing performance this is. Thanks to Thomas to bring ABBA to Hap3speakz. Great reaction 🎼👍💯
You ought to check out the official video too, it's really nice. Stockholm is beautiful in the summer. And in my opinion the slightly slower pace is more fitting. Swedish sweet melancholy.
Now I have watched your Summer Night City reaction at least 10 times 😁 it is so good! I hope you do "I am The City" ABBA recorded that song in 1982 but it was not released until 1993 and is on the compilation album "More ABBA Gold"
I like how you were saying you let the music do the talking.... Incidentally ABBA has a song called " I Let The Music Speak" ... So it's like you're in tune with ABBA already, As far as this song goes, I've never been a fan of the live version of it.... I really appreciate the recorded version way better than this one it just has more of a dynamic feel to it the live version feels very rushed and very fast and over the top you should give the recorded version of listen sometime and react to that one
Now, well well well..... This was unexpected ^^ Just wish the sound quality was better..... This band was the first band I remember watching and hearing as a 5 y.o. It was literally "thank you for the Music" after that.... even tough that was not the song I first heard ;)
The young background chorus singer is Tomas Ledin, a swedish singer-songwriter that has a great career in Sweden, but never internationally. He made some of Swedens most beloved songs, like "Sommaren är kort" - Check that up - though you will only maybe understand a bit of it. "Summer is short". But english and swedish are very alike... If you really listen. This song is about Stockholm in the summer - when you are out partying all night - in the summer the night is kind of twillight/dawn/dusk-light not getting dark. So if you want to party with no end - come to Stockholm in mid-July.
Good morning and Happy New Year First time I see your channel and I was delighted with your reaction to ABBA's live performance At that time it had been questioned and doubted whether ABBA could repeat its sophisticated studio recordings live. ABBA demonstrated that it not only managed to maintain its quality but that in some cases (like this song) it surpassed its previous records "Summer night city" (1978) is, as you show it there, inspired by the disco era of Bee Gees and Saturday Night Fever. Then the album "Voulez Vous" will follow with more disco music. But I go back to the concert at Wembley Arena ABBA's energy is extraordinary in this song, reinforced by the musical support group and the company choral trio So the "Fabulous Four of Sweden" shine at the highest level: Agnetha (the blonde soprano vocalist) Bjorn (the guitarist) Benny (the pianist / keyboardist) Anni Frid (the brunette mezzo soprano vocalist) And many ABBA fans we are going to suggest that you do not miss seeing the end of the concert There are two songs in a row where ABBA reaches its peak of effervescence: "Does your mother know" and "Hole in your soul" I give You the link: th-cam.com/video/JEyYTANSPj4/w-d-xo.html It's just over 8 consecutive minutes of a quality power and delivery that all ABBA fans love. If you like live performances, feel free to watch it and take it for your reactions It is ABBA's best live performance, and it has nothing to envy the best and most historic bands. At another time I would like to ask you for the songs in the studio But your attitude with the live was tempting and I did not want to miss the opportunity to continue with the recital I hope see You in another reaction My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina
You are correct with the songs that you remember I will give you a help with the list of her successes "Waterloo" (April 1974) was her first world #1 with their triumph at the Eurovision Song Contest in England but then it took them quite a while to reach their second hit, which was "S.O.S." (October 1975) there ABBA starts a series of 18 consecutive Top 10 in England between 1975/1981: S.O.S. Mamma Mia Fernando Dancing Queen Money money money Knowing me knowing you The name of the game Take a chance on me Summer night city Chiquitita Does your mother know Voulez vous Gimme gimme gimme I had a dream The winner takes it all Super trouper Lay all your love on me One of us ABBA was the Swedish pop group leads in the 70s, the decade after BEATLES Even today her music is still alive and well, both the old generations (like me who am 63 years old) and the new generations Their music was perpetuated in Australian films and in the musicals "Mamma Mía" 1 and 2 They have a musical "Mamma Mía" with 20 years on stage Their album "ABBA Gold" released in 1992 (10 years after their separation) is the second most sold in England, and this year it's close to turning 1000 weeks in the top 100 (record) It is that the characteristics of ABBA's music (melancholic lyrics with catchy melodies, excellent vocal harmonies, and the "wall of sound" recording technique) were eternally saved in the hearts of their fans. And after 35 years they met again to record in the studio And the world waits for those songs, that although they do not have the vitality of their young times, they will surely fill us with emotion
Never heard this ! I Like it ! would be a good song in a Bond movie ! You ! would have been Great in a James Bond movie! Love James Bond! Love ABBA Cool reaction
the 1981 version at the "dick cavet show" is great too, a little slower but a little more rock. check it out. they were the best in the 70s and 80s, and now they are back, and they don't suck!. it's not every day that a 40 years old band reunites and makes a good new album.
Yes, it was an “orphan” song. Born (recorded) with many difficulties. B&B think that they did not get it right. And it was their first “not #1” in the UK since 1975. In my opinion, it is a “diamond-in-the-rough” and still has potential for a hit in the XXI century.
I always love seeing the 'light bulb moment' that happens to people when they suddenly realize there is SO much more to ABBA than 'Dancing Queen' and 'Mamma Mia'!! You should also check out the 'Does Your Mother Know'/'Hole In Your Soul' performance from the same Wembley concert. That will blow your mind even more!! And, the full-length of 'Eagle' will shatter your ABBA misconceptions even further. Here's a link to a great TV performance of it: th-cam.com/video/ikUAAI9QIg8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Superstellina2012
ABBA, I really don’t know if I’ve heard this band before, they’re not American right? Where are they from (country)? Loved the song! Don’t know if it was a disco hit or not, I never got into disco. Loved your reaction!
ABBA: Agnetha (blonde singer) Björn (vocal and guitarist) Benny (pianist and back vocal) Anni Frid (brunette singer) from Sweden the lead group in the 70s the decade post BEATLES
Pls reacted to big country song is in the big country, field of fire,also by them.Nena 99 red ballroon or 99 Luffballon.The big country lead singer no more here in this world,he took his life.
They had 22 top.10 hits and 9 number ones. They could have 50 by juat releasing album tracks as singels.. they are briliant! So there is a lot to discover
Listen to the fantastic extended intro version of Summer Night City. th-cam.com/video/TuZEVL61uFI/w-d-xo.html You should also listen to the track The Visitors from their last studio album. Excellent.
Never knew Abba was that good live.
Each band DIES to have hit like this. And this song is nearly unknown. Just unbelievable.
and they almost didn't release it!. to this day they think "nah, that one is bad, it shouldn't have been released". are they insane? it's one of their best songs!.
@@pelgervampireduckthat’s nuts. This is the song that got me into the world of abba. Someone was playing it in a Zoom meeting and I asked what song it was. It was one of the catchiest tunes I’d heard and later realized that it wasn’t a very popular song compared to their other ones
Yes! Not among their biggest hits but a great song. Everything ABBA did was great!
Been listening since 1973
Was a big hit in many countries and number one in their native Sweden.
PURE ENERGY ! i saw them live 1979 in germany. what a great concert. you would enjoy "Voulez-Vous" or "Lay all your love on me". so many hits more to discover. welcome to the ABBA trip !!

I listen to this concert in full sometimes, it's available as Abba Live at Wembley Arena in Spotify... One of the best and most epic concerts I've heard.
FINALLY!
You're the first one who noticed there is live version of this potentially mega hit.
One of the best they did. Without discuss.
Thank you 🙏🏾 but thank Thomas too.
Perhaps they should update/re-mix/re-master and release it as a single from the upcoming ABBA-tar 50th Anniversary Tour?
Bass = The great Rutger Gunnarsson.
The Swedish James Jamerson and easily one of the most underappreciated guitarists in pop/rock history.

Agree with Adina...this was great. They also have some cool music videos. Great reaction 🌻🌻
Great reaction. Thanks for reacting brilliantly to my request!
Thanks again!
and thsnk you to request ABBA
Good live song.

Nice to see you
I really enjoy so much with yout great reaction

And in November 1979 ABBA close their American/European Tour in U.K.( in the encore ) with the iconic "Waterloo"
Thank u for the kind & supportive message regarding this group. 👍🏽
The slow part at the start was originally going to be on the single but they decided to cut it.

I DON'T RECALL EVER HEARING THIS SONG. IT WAS VERY INTERTAINING, THOUGH. NICE HAPPY REACTION!!🤗💜🎶🙏
UK No5 It was a big hit.
Don't think I've ever heard it either! Really enjoyed it though.
Thanks
Try "Move on" by abba! It is a masterpiece!
This is my first time listening to this song as well! I know other big hits from my youth, used to listen to some of their popular songs.
Amazing performance this is. Thanks to Thomas to bring ABBA to Hap3speakz. Great reaction 🎼👍💯
Well the album ABBA Gold has now spent over 1000 weeks (or about 20 years) in the UKs top 100 albums charts. No other album has done this.
ABBA is interesting. I’ve heard them over the years- great reaction. You did a freeze at the beginning-🤣
Wow, great reaction, you have to see "Does your mother know/Hole in your soul" from the same show, it blows you away...
Yes these 2 live performances are Epic!
All these people saying It wasn't a big hit .... It reached No5 In The UK , how big does a "Big Hit" have to be?
For ABBA no 1 👌
Amazing
Keep reacting to more ABBA. They have great stuff. "Hole in Your Soul" Live Wembley
You ought to check out the official video too, it's really nice. Stockholm is beautiful in the summer. And in my opinion the slightly slower pace is more fitting.
Swedish sweet melancholy.
Now I have watched your Summer Night City reaction at least 10 times 😁 it is so good! I hope you do "I am The City" ABBA recorded that song in 1982 but it was not released until 1993 and is on the compilation album "More ABBA Gold"

Never heard this. Great reaction to it! ♥️

Now, well well well..... This was unexpected ^^ Just wish the sound quality was better.....
This band was the first band I remember watching and hearing as a 5 y.o.
It was literally "thank you for the Music" after that.... even tough that was not the song I first heard ;)
Thank you for this reaction. Check out Abba should I laugh or cry and the day before you came :)
The young background chorus singer is Tomas Ledin, a swedish singer-songwriter that has a great career in Sweden, but never internationally.

Good reaction Hap, thought I’d heard everything Abba did, you live and learn. Can see why it wasn’t a hit whilst very typical.
Good morning and
Happy New Year
First time I see your channel and I was delighted with your reaction to ABBA's live performance
At that time it had been questioned and doubted whether ABBA could repeat its sophisticated studio recordings live.
ABBA demonstrated that it not only managed to maintain its quality but that in some cases (like this song) it surpassed its previous records
"Summer night city" (1978) is, as you show it there, inspired by the disco era of Bee Gees and Saturday Night Fever.
Then the album "Voulez Vous" will follow with more disco music.
But I go back to the concert at Wembley Arena
ABBA's energy is extraordinary in this song, reinforced by the musical support group and the company choral trio
So the "Fabulous Four of Sweden" shine at the highest level:
Agnetha (the blonde soprano vocalist)
Bjorn (the guitarist)
Benny (the pianist / keyboardist)
Anni Frid (the brunette mezzo soprano vocalist)
And many ABBA fans we are going to suggest that you do not miss seeing the end of the concert
There are two songs in a row where ABBA reaches its peak of effervescence:
"Does your mother know" and
"Hole in your soul"
I give You the link:
th-cam.com/video/JEyYTANSPj4/w-d-xo.html
It's just over 8 consecutive minutes of a quality power and delivery that all ABBA fans love.
If you like live performances, feel free to watch it and take it for your reactions
It is ABBA's best live performance, and it has nothing to envy the best and most historic bands.
At another time I would like to ask you for the songs in the studio
But your attitude with the live was tempting and I did not want to miss the opportunity to continue with the recital
I hope see You in another reaction
My best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina
Watching this again. Hap ur facial expressions were priceless! So real. U seemed pretty much hooked! 🎧✨
Well done 👍🏼 love ur reactions!!!
Cameraman spent most of the time fixed on Agnetha yet its Frida's vocals clearly dominating here.
You are correct with the songs that you remember
I will give you a help with the list of her successes
"Waterloo" (April 1974) was her first world #1 with their triumph at the Eurovision Song Contest in England
but then it took them quite a while to reach their second hit, which was "S.O.S." (October 1975)
there ABBA starts a series of 18 consecutive Top 10 in England between 1975/1981:
S.O.S.
Mamma Mia
Fernando
Dancing Queen
Money money money
Knowing me knowing you
The name of the game
Take a chance on me
Summer night city
Chiquitita
Does your mother know
Voulez vous
Gimme gimme gimme
I had a dream
The winner takes it all
Super trouper
Lay all your love on me
One of us
ABBA was the Swedish pop group leads in the 70s, the decade after BEATLES
Even today her music is still alive and well, both the old generations (like me who am 63 years old) and the new generations
Their music was perpetuated in Australian films and in the musicals "Mamma Mía" 1 and 2
They have a musical "Mamma Mía" with 20 years on stage
Their album "ABBA Gold" released in 1992 (10 years after their separation) is the second most sold in England, and this year it's close to turning 1000 weeks in the top 100 (record)
It is that the characteristics of ABBA's music (melancholic lyrics with catchy melodies, excellent vocal harmonies, and the "wall of sound" recording technique) were eternally saved in the hearts of their fans.
And after 35 years they met again to record in the studio And the world waits for those songs, that although they do not have the vitality of their young times, they will surely fill us with emotion
Never heard this ! I Like it ! would be a good song in a Bond movie ! You ! would have been Great in a James Bond movie! Love James Bond! Love ABBA Cool reaction
Great reaction! why not follow up with "I am the city"
You should take a look to The Winner Takes it All, The Way Old Friends Do, and Happy New Year. I think you'd like them. :)
Bjorn with Prince Valiant hair.
ABBA were very popular in dance clubs, so they were probably aware of that side of things.
😉
the 1981 version at the "dick cavet show" is great too, a little slower but a little more rock. check it out.
they were the best in the 70s and 80s, and now they are back, and they don't suck!. it's not every day that a 40 years old band reunites and makes a good new album.
I love this song, and the live version is my favourite. Sadly B+B don’t like the song. :-/ it’s an Hommage to my favourite city, Stockholm!
Yes, it was an “orphan” song. Born (recorded) with many difficulties. B&B think that they did not get it right. And it was their first “not #1” in the UK since 1975.
In my opinion, it is a “diamond-in-the-rough” and still has potential for a hit in the XXI century.

first 'not #1' in UK since 1975 was
"Money money money" #3 in 1976
I always love seeing the 'light bulb moment' that happens to people when they suddenly realize there is SO much more to ABBA than 'Dancing Queen' and 'Mamma Mia'!!
