    1. Wardrobe- Love the flash. I'm all about flash
    2. That's a weird set with the balloons. They filled it with the balloons then you couldn't see the ABBA sign.
    2. I like watching this. It's great to visually see someone perform. You can see them sell the performance and sell the song and sell the mood.
    If It Wasn’t for the Nights
    ABBA
    I got appointments, work I have to do
    Keepin' me so busy all the day through
    They're the things that keep me from thinkin' of you
    Oh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it
    Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
    And I lose my temper ten times a day
    Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
    It's bad, oh, so bad
    Somehow I'd be doin' alright if it wasn't for the nights
    (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
    I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
    (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
    How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
    Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall
    Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
    (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
    Somehow I'd be doin' alright if it wasn't for the nights
    (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
    No-one to turn to, you know how it is
    I was not prepared for something like this
    Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
    Oh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it
    I got my business to help me through the day
    People I must write to, bills I must pay
    But everything's so different when night's on its way
    It's bad, oh, so bad
    Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
    (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
    I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights

    Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall
    Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
    (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
    Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
    (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

      Wouldn't it be nice to audibly hear them perform? Unfortunately 90% of all ABBA TV performances were playback.

    Hope, one day, that you react to ABBA's "The Day Before You Came."..It's the favorite of many of their fans and it was their final recording before they split(and they knew it).
    It's completely different from their usual upbeat style and ahead of it's time and didn't chart so high (About No 34 in the UK).
    Many years after the song was recorded, Michael Tretow, ABBA's longtime sound engineer, recalled Agnetha performed the lead with dimmed lights and said that the mood had become sad. It has been said that after finishing her vocals, Agnetha removed her headphones and walked solemnly out into the daylight, never to return."
    Fun fact...ABBA were so popular, that they and Led Zeppelin held the record, for 36 years, for the most consecutive No1 Albums(8) in the UK (Even more than The Beatles) until recently surpassed by Eminem.

      I'll never understand the appeal of that song, but it's definitely a fan favourite. I find it dull and repetitive, which I get is the point, but it makes for a pretty dull song... for me, at any rate. I'll listen to Like an Angel or Cassandra any day over The Day Before You Came.

    hey jay. this obviously was not a live vocal but lip synched.. its the same as the album recording. but still was good to see them kind of sing live to this song. should have been a single here in the u.s. but it wasnt. if you havent reacted to as good as knew you should. am sure you willl like it

    The Name of the Game and Knowing Me Knowing You used the same set with balloons in the Japan concert, most of the other songs seem staged differently though.

      Frida is doing the most, but honestly, it's awesome. She's the feisty firecracker in the group... Agnetha was more the aloof blonde because she was a more nervous performer. Apples and oranges in terms of people's preferences.
