ABBA in Japan Video?
Hello, fellow ABBAFreaks.....
I have seen on You Tube, several videos from an ABBA performance in Japan in 1979, I believe. I am wondering, was there ever a release of this concert or performance on VHS or DVD? It seems to me that the set decorations and the orchestra and dancers were spectacular, and that there were many "extra" features to the standard ABBA concert performances hare in the US and in the UK.
Does anyone know if such a video exists? I would really like to see the whole performance, instead of seeing just a few on You Tube which may be yanked off the site any day! :cry:

Hey.
I think what you refer to is not the standard ABBA live concert, But judging from what you said about the dancers and orchestra, You infact talk about the ABBA in Japan Television Special of 1978.
I dont know whether this was released on video etc in the day, But i have the show on my computer [Which i have burned to dvd] which has excellent quality and of course, is better than nothing.
If you would like to contact me, Maybe we could find a way of getting this file to you.
Best Wishes
Samy

The video was commercially released on VHS by Discomate.
In addition to the videos that you have already saw on the Internet,
here is the flag that appears before this VHS videogram :

I have a bootleg of the Tv special Japan ABBA Special.
It is very nice, ABBA performed several songs live in the studio with an orchestra and there was also a promotional clip shown of Sumer Night City. It was released on a VHS tape, And I have only seen over the years maybe a couple of these original ones going for shocking $$$$$ on e-bay.
The quality is actually very good.

Thank you, everyone for responding.
I am just curious about the Japanese videos because actually, some of the ones on YouTube are quite nice quality and audio is nice, too. I also noticed that the stages were very elaborately designed and really very beautiful.
I also noticee that they had a complete orchestra playing along with them.
I really would like to own these (I have "favorited" them on my YouTube Favorites, but I cannot save them onto my hard drive.)
Thanks again. If anyone hears of one coming up for sale, please PM me and tell me where I can purchase one. I am still a little confused just as to what it was. Was it a full length television special? Just ABBA? Did they sing a dozen songs or just a few? Attached is a link to one of them I am talking about.

Hey again.
Yes, it was a full length abba special, with ABBA only (Except for the annoying Japanese dancers who just LOVE to get in the way lol.) They performed the following songs;
*Eagle
*Take a chance on me
*Money Money Money (live with orchestra etc)
*S.O.S Live (Orchestra etc)
*Thats me
*Tiger
*Waterloo
*One verse & Chorus of Fernando
*Summer Night City
*Knowing Me, Knowing You
*If it wasn't for the Nights
*Thankyou for the Music Live (Orchestra & Different ending =] )
See ABBA on Tv for more information & Pictures
