Editorial Review:
Abba's success was, without a doubt, partly down to studio trickery--yet if this is the case, then why are Live's sonics so shimmering, so magical? The drum sound is heavy and full, the overall effect crystal clear and pristine. Harmonies are immaculate, melodies melt in your heart. Has "Does Your Mother Know" ever sounded so powerful? Was "Dancing Queen" really this infectious? The applause between tracks definitely helps the atmosphere, while both the opening, stuttering start to "Take a Chance on Me" and the piano-backed, over-the-top production on "Thank You for the Music" are simply spine tingling. --Everett True

Rating:  - Take a ch-ch-chance on this great cd
The only fault with this album is that the notes are almost non-existant. I guess if I had the time I could figure out which songs were from Australia '77 and Wembly 79 and Stockholm '81, but I would have been happy if they did that for me.
The songs are all top shelf performances and just make me wish than in the late 70's I had not devoted so much energy to the punk music and kept my ABBA habit secret. I had all the singles back then but hid them as a guilty pleasure. Since I was ... Read More
Rating: - Review: ABBA live rmastered
If your an ABBA fan, you'll be blown away by the audiences caught on these recordings. It's obvious that ABBA was at an amazing height of popularity when these recordings were made. Good sappy fun.
Rating: - Not just a studio band...
As a long-time fan (I'm that old) I saw ABBA on TV years ago performing "live" in lip-synch Bandstand mode. Surprise! This disc blows away any doubt that the ABBA sound was no more than a production engineer's ultimate triumph. Surprisingly intense guitar & drum riffs, up-tempo versions of already up-tempo songs, perfect pitch singing; in a word, tight. In 100 years, music historians looking at this period will list Bjorn & Benny with Lennon/McCartney and John/Taupin as the greatest pop ... Read More

If you really like ABBA "GOLD" and you enjoy live music, then buy this CD. The group is energentic and their vocals are on the mark. It's also cool to hear these songs a different way other than the studio versions. Some highlights on this CD are the audience joining in on "Fernando" and the kids singing on "I Have A Dream"
Rating:  - abba live and poorly engineered
Half of the album has been engineered by quite poor standards. The hits are there but at least the drum sounds must be remastered. Why not the bass too. That's for the open-eyed abba fans of course.
