Domino was a short-lived but successful weekly music series on channel A2, which started on 7 March 1974 and finished on 27 June1974 and consisted of only 14 episodes. It featured French and international stars and was aired on Thursday evenings, in an approximately one-hour programme presented by Guy Lux and Sophie Darel.
Episode 6 - ABBA performed "Waterloo" to playback (although listen carefully and you can hear live vocals over the backing track). French singing star Sacha Distel was also a guest on the programme.
Guy Lux introduces their
performance as "exclusive, for the first time on French TV, the Swedish
group ABBA who won Eurovision a few days with 'Waterloo'."
A picture from
rehearsals was used on the cover of the 1974 single release of Ring
Ring/King Kong Song from Belgium.
