Slept outside with my best friend to buy tickets to there Adelaide concert. 40plus years later they still bring a smile to my face and many memories associated with many of their songs.

Abba more addictive than drugs and Abba always leave a clear head but still wanting more. Happy times in my life singing along to abba's music.

I was only 4 years old and growing up in Australia 🇦🇺 everyone loved ABBA, including me! I still love ABBA, thank you for the music and memories. Musical talented geniuses, will never be equalled or repeated.

Сижу и слушаю и балдею! Впервые услышала еще маленькой девочкой, а теперь смотрю и слушаю в очках - я бабушка! А ничего не изменилось! Вот что я скажу группа АББА вечная группа! На все времена и народы@

It's hard to imagine a time when ABBA had to introduce themselves. 😲

Australia loves Abba. Always has, always will

ABBA: THE BEST POP MUSIC GROUP

This clip needs to be given to the National Film and Sound Archive to be preserved.

ABBA will NEVER die - their music is pure, virtuous, and a timeless Godsend when you look at the perverse trash the new age has to offer. And I have to say it's not only the heavenly sounds they produce, Frida and Agnetha are both dancing beauty queens with hearts of gold, and Benny and Bjorn the master musicians also have amazing talent for originality - what the musicians lack today.

ABBA, STILL THE BEST MUSIC RECORDED IN HISTORY, RESPECT👍✌👌

Feels like yesterday. What a super group. Fernando was absolutely huge in Australia and yet some of their greatest tunes were still to come. I will never forget the night an ABBA special was aired on Australian tv that premiered their new single Money, Money, Money. I recorded it from the television onto a cassette tape (remember those :) ). I must have gone to bed that night and played it a thousand times. What memories!

All 4 members of the group are musical geniuses & pit together form the best pop group of all time & there have been some excellent groups over the years but ABBA are on another level 😀

SOS is one of the best ever songs to come out of the 1970’s

ABBA....always brilliant, always classy and they leave behind a legacy of great times and memories..

Incredible. Even today. December 2020.

Золотые времена ,какие они красивые ,талантливые !АВВА это любовь ,любовь творит чудеса !

the best singer of all times

I remember staying up late so I could watch this, GREAT MEMORIES. In 1976 ABBA came here for a promotional visit and then in 1977 came for an actual tour..........I was at the 1977 Adelaide concert. I lived through Australia's ABBAMANIA

still ABBA crazy all these years later saw ABBA live in Melbourne Australia Sidney Myer Music Bowl 1977 ABBASOLUTELY SWEDETASTIC very much love ABBA still

ABBA were very popular here in Australia, there music still gets plenty of airplay on radio even now.

В 1976 году мне было 9 лет.. Сейчас уже 56 и не перестаю восхищаться чудесным и голосами и музыкой, которая на века))!! Любимые, неповторимые!! ❤❤❤❤

I know ABBA so well that I can just drop into the middle of a random song in a performance I've not seen with the sound turned off and sing along! Anyone else do the same?

ABBA is not one of the greatest. No, they are truly the best in the world. They stand solely as #1. There isn't any other group can match or come close to their greatness. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Loved them then, still love them now.

Wow, what a find. A Don Lane show special. Need to find a way to preserve this one. Brilliant find... ;-}

I remember when SOS first hit the radio in the USA, I was 13, and that crashing rock chorus just blew me away !, been a big fan ever since.

ABBA you are for ever the best!

Frida, how sweet and beautiful you are! And my favorite song Fernando💖

This is a nice performance on FERNANDO...! Well, all performances are equally beautiful!! Sing more ABBA!!!

Brains and hearts put in every ABBA's song...

What is this strange magic? Absolutely captivating. What a great clip thanks for uploading!!

Голоса этих красавиц переливаются словно весенний ручеек

Thank you for uploading! Gave me a jolt when Bjorn mentioned West Germany. It has been a while since that was a nation. A time capsule into ABBA’s heyday.

Brilliant group, brilliant sound

Both women so beautiful so talented And Don Lane was best show host ever in Australia RIP, Don you are missed by all

What a moment in time - Fernando was only released for one week - that was a massive song 🎶 - the world had no idea that they had also recorded another new song called Dancing Queen - 45 years later their music still sounds amazing- I can’t wait for the new music “ I still have Faith in You” 💜

what a pretty innocence in their voices and in their look, great artists of 80s and i am die hard fan of them since 40 years

"...And West Germany". It's easy to forget how much has changed over the years. Sometimes the past is, quite literally, a different country. Back then I barely noticed Abba (well, ok, I was 13, so I /definitely/ noticed Agnetha and Frida!) But now, as I watch over my mother's decline into the final stages of dementia, I pick up my guitar and play SOS almost every day. The lyrics are all too appropriate, and it's an incredibly cathartic song to belt out! She taps her foot, I vent some frustrations. Thanks for uploading. Such interviews are increasingly fascinating as we approach the release of the new album. There's nothing like getting older to make you think about the past... which is daft really, because the less time you have left, the more you should think about today! But thinking about today, in such an uncertain world with such a complicated and uncertain future, can be a bit stressful. Yet Benny's comment about them being very popular in West Germany as well as Australia reminds us that back then the shadow we lived under was nuclear war with the USSR. It's in the nature of humanity to find something to worry about... sometimes because of sabre toothed tigers, sometimes only because of suspicion and misunderstanding, and sometimes because we accidentally hurt ourselves and the ecosystem. But music crosses borders effortlessly, connecting us. It also distracts us from our cares for a while, giving us a boost when we're down and need a bit of inspiration. Here's to inspiration. Here's to Abba! :-)

The pop legends forever

S.O.S. the greatest pop song ever recorded.

A true mark of adoration when all it takes is to listen and become captivated again, each and every time you do so!

Don Lane was a very famous American man in Australia in the 1970’s, he had a long running show on TV and was much loved. Sadly he passed away in Sydney some years ago suffering from Alzheimer’s. Good times, much missed. This is very funny, loved it. Back when people had character and a sense of humour.

Today Agnethas 70ths BIRTHDAY. Congratiolation!!!!!!

ABBA in their first voyage to Australia 1976, and these is their first appears in Australia TV ABBA performing their masterpiece S.O.S and the future biggest success Fernando the ladies Frida & Agnetha are amazing beautiful with full gypsy outfits

Tak til Abba, vores fantastiske svenske naboer - så dejlig musik, I Sverige er I musik genier 😍♥️👍

Brilliant!! And Fernando was Number 1 on the Australian charts for 14 weeks !!!!! ........ and the best was still to come ❤

Reminds me of my youth....time flys...keep young inside..they are soo European...and natural...and young..now it's july..2022...years later...years..

Удивительно то, что у многих групп бывает один (большой, самый-самый) хит. Бывает два, или пять - кому как повезёт. Ну, может быть, с десяток. Но так, чтобы пятьдесят, сто... Чтобы практически каждая песня была супер-хитом, когда не знаешь, какая из них лучше, потому что ПРЕКРАСНЫ все. Когда слушаешь и не можешь остановиться. Это только АББА. Лучшие. Великие.

Benny and Frida😍😍😍

Remember Mum & Dad let my sister and I stay up to watch them and because Mum and Dad like them! So much part of my childhood

As if time just stands still 👍👍👍

This was a very successful weekly Australian tv program. I think Australia was the first country that fully embraced their music out of Sweden. They toured AUstralia for several months and filmed their Australian tour directed by the then relatively unknown Swedish director Lasse Hollstrom. This film became the basis of many of their music videos for the songs and the music video was kicked off world wide.

ABBA is the best!!!!!👍👍💯💯💫

Вот , что случается , когда люди сходятся талантливые люди , он увеличивается в четыре раза , лица светятся любовью, а любовь всегда созидательна .

It's first time actually hear Agnetha pronounced her name to an Australian host on stage around 1974. 😍🥳🤗

It seems many of us want a time machine !

Удивительная, очень талантливая группа! Как только видишь и слышишь, сразу на лице появляется радостная улыбка. Девушки бесподобны: - девственно - мило - сексуальны! Сочетание голосов - супер! Группа АВВА на века!

The interview was done in 1976 when I was 6th grade...but I never be bored to re-play this song SOS as well as other ABBA songs...until now. What a harmonious voice Agnetha and Frida, they were complement each other. Not to mention their natural beauty. Two thumbs up for both Ben and Byorn as well..

Now we are old and grey.......thank you for the music that walk with us for 45 years, my friends. I can't believe there is still a recording that talked about the just released Fernando.

What a beautiful group. Those girls are 🔥.

I love... Here is our new single Fernando! 🙂

Never seen this before! Great!, Thanks for uploading. :)

they are still the best

ABBA LOVE je les aime ce groupe depuis 1976, musiques chansons mélodies, merci à vous 👍 ❤❤❤❤

On Fernando you can hear the rare Agnetha lower harmonies on Frida's main vocal. They always could blend great, the harmonic content of each fit with the other.

Really popular group...the blonde ,fascinating...love their Swedish accents in their songs..this time they are actually singing and playing the instruments....all look good..

I love ABBA, I really do

This is my favourite Don Lane segment. Love ❤ Abba, then and now.

Watching all ABBA videos that were not there, when I was 15, in 1979.

In 1976, ABBA had 6 Nº 1 hits in Australia.

SOS perhaps the greatest pop song ever written?

Yup, this one is rare and rarely seen. Long Live ABBA!

The girls are so adorabley beautiful here❤❤

Agnetha faltskog será sempre minha cantora preferida,sua voz é perfeita, sua beleza incomparável,é muito linda,talentosa, meiga, simplesmente maravilhosa!!! Sou fã desde criança, te amo Agnetha, te amo Abba🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷saudações do Brasil

This was only an entree to a tour which sent Australia into a complete frenzy that still prevails 45yrs later

i just love those dresses!! wow thanks for saving this.

And with that performance Fernando went on to OWN The Australian chart for several months.... Probably their biggest Australian single ever to be honest!

Сколько крылатых людей поднимается в высь от приятноц музыки и красоты АВВА!

I love ABBA

Frida maravilhosa ABBA inesquecível LoVe

What a gem! .. thank you! 👍🇳🇿

simple things like making eye contact with the audience and making everybody feel like they were they're best friends made them so cool something modern entertainers don't seem to understand

I am completely stunned that today 2021 sounds just as good or even better than then. The only superlative I can think of is to compare with Messi to get to the same level. I'm glad I've experienced both. I still have all their music left at home in my boxes of cassettes and LP. I love their clothes.

Apparently a rare case of Agnetha singing the lower of the two voices in the harmony, to great effect.

I still love them 💕💕💕💕

Ciao sono in spiaggia x le meritate ferie e mi sto rilassando con le vostre splendide canzoni ed il rumore dell'acqua ❤❤❤❤

agnetha vos MARAVILLOSA Y GRAN CARISMA!!!....vestuarios excelentes!!!

Agnetha looks super attractive here.

Ah Yes, Gr8 Memories of ABBA's OZ T.V. Appearances in '76.....They were Just Unbelievably Good and ABBA were Dominating the OZ Charts even more than The Beatles had done in the 60's.....They were a Phenomenon here in OZ....

Conjunto ABBA música que marcarão muito tempo e até agente aínda houve as Belas canções deles🎵🌌😍🌙

I did quite a good restoration job on that video. Hello, Diego Lopez here, credited at the end. 😜

Ahhhhhh the good old days

Bjorn & Benny & Agnetha & Frida... Each ABBA member is so great! Savvy, funny, entertaining, interesting; you feel they express themselves like talking between friends, not like a marketing Supergroup. Don "Lame" is plain boring, couldn't touch them! DIEGO LÓPEZ: THANK U FOR THE MUSIC! ✌

Always top class

Thank you for this 🌹

ABBA forever

Brilliant masterpiece brilliantly done brillianty sung brilliantly written. How the words capture and describe clinical depression: Forgetfulness; The tendency for extra sleep.

SOS was the song which was being played the most in Australia and then BOOM 💥 ABBA was everywhere. Agnethas vocal talent is amazing.

What a startup for ABBA ,for the GREAT australian concert tour. So sad cannot be there.

Agnetha faltskog lindíssima!!!! Sou sua fã do Brasil, a amo desde a infância, sua voz e sua beleza são imprecionantes. Seria um sonho te conhecer, desejo muito amor e paz em sua vida. Te amo!🇧🇷
