Filmed at the height of their popularity, this was a special filmed in February of that year (79) made by the BBC in collaboration with several European broadcasters including SRG Zurich. It was broadcast around the world and was a great success. ABBA were seen arriving by helicopter from Geneva airport. In the opening credits and the main show was filmed in a circus big top in Leysin. Many of the songs were from the yet unreleased album Voulez-Vous so they differ slightly from the recordings on the album. There are several versions of this show dependant on where it was screened with different guests, but the UK version probably had the best with Kate Bush performing Wow and Roxy Music doing Dance Away. An excellent show that I thoroughly enjoyed at the time and I managed to get an ABBA only edit copy when it was released on dvd as a bonus disc on a cd re-release of the deluxe edition of Voulez-Vous.
