Hello Restareabear,

for aught I know, "Lay All Your Love On Me" was never performed live, and ABBA had no tv-appearance with it.

From the "Super Trouper" album ABBA sung "The Way Old Friends Do" live in their concerts (before the album came out).

In the Dick Cavett Show they had live performances with "Super Trouper", "On And On And On" and "Me And I".

In tv-shows they had playback appearances with "Super Trouper", "The Winner Takes It All", "On And On And On", and "Happy New Year". From the same songs there are official videos. (although "On and on..." is only a picture slide show).

Yes, itŽs a pity. I would have liked to see a performance of LAYLOM, too!

I must admit that LAYLOM isn't one of my real favourites (though it's ok to listen to it from time to time) and you might put it all on this fact, but I really do wonder what a (live) performance could have looked like?

You can't really perform it, there are no outstanding vocals, no story and nothing else you can act, mime or perform some interesting dance routine to at least - I don't have any idea what they could have done with this song on stage or TV for an interesting performance!

So, Maxi-saxi, to me it's no wonder that you suggested a pure studio clip for it and I agree with this idea.

Now that would have been something.


Only if....
