This was ABBA's first TV appearance in Spain. Apparently, ABBA were supposed to record "Waterloo" in Spanish in May 1974 but as the scheduled interviews and filming of their appearance for this TV show took longer than expected, they didn't find the time to record the song in the studios in Madrid, even though their Spanish record label, Carnaby, was keen to release a Spanish version of the song.
Apparently the group didn't have the same vision about the show as the Chairman of Spanish TV, Valerio Lazarov. When they started filming, ABBA were asked to do almost a video clip instead of simply doing a playback performance to their songs, so they had words with Lazarov. The end of the affair was that Björn promised they would never visit Spain again to perform in any show if Mr Lazarov was in charge of their national television. They didn't return until 1979.
Apart from "Hovas Vittne", this looks like the last outing for the Waterloo costumes.
The whole of "Hasta Mañana" - so many hilarious parts to it - on rocking chairs, on bunk beds, in a tent ...
