To mark 41 years to the day since my last of 3 ABBA concerts, Stafford, on 12 November 1979, I have uploaded the Paris show, which is the best quality recording I came across from the tour. There are a few blips/clips/cuts etc, and one song is omitted (assuming it was played), but overall it is great quality, and I thank the original taper!! Bjorn seemingly has to encourage the audience to get up " and dance in the aisles" at the start of Dancing Queen....we didn't need any prompting at Stafford, where it happened about 30 minutes earlier, and so on 2 consecutive nights, there I was, right at the front, looking up and watching ABBA in all their glory (the originals, not some tribute band)....just wonderful!!....
If anyone has any other recordings of Abba, put them up here, or let me know !!
I only ever went to 5 concerts at Stafford Bingley Hall, but they were amongst the 5 best of my life - Bowie in 78, 2 x Abba in 79, and 2 x Fleetwood Mac in 80.....the venue was of course overtaken, capacity wise, not too long afterwards....
thank you
