| Filmed | 30th August 1975 |
|---|---|
| Location | Mysen, Norway |
| Broadcast | Norway, 1975. The "SOS" clip was shown on a German TV commercial for a 5 CD box set of ABBA albums (Die Story) from Dominion c.1999. |
| Released | The performances of "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do", "SOS" and "Waterloo" have been released on the DVD ABBA - Number Ones |
| Notes | Momarkadet was the name of the largest charity event in Scandinavia, and
was organised annually by the Red Cross.
After entering through the curtains, ABBA performed "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" and "SOS" (both in long cat dresses) and "Waterloo" (short cat dresses) for the finale. At the end of the programme (which also featured Leo Sayer), ABBA is given some toy animals. The performances may be available officially now, but for many years "Waterloo" was the only performance widely available in fans' video collections. "SOS" was very rare and until very recently, "I Do, I Do, I Do" was unheard of. There were rumours of FOUR songs (the fourth song being "Mamma Mia") in the NRK vaults for this clip, but that is not the case - just the three songs listed. |
| Duration | 15 minutes approximately |

| Transcript | Björn speaks to the audience after "SOS" and says: "Thanks very much. I want to take advantage of the opportunity that we are in Norway to thank all of the Norwegian fans for all of their nice letters and for making our records such big hits. A thank you from us would be a song that no one could possibly have missed hearing at least once. It's about a very well-known battlefield and it's called "Waterloo". |
