Hei Sveis! (Momarkedet)


 

Filmed early 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, SOS (both in long cat dresses) and Waterloo (short cat dresses) for the finale. "Waterloo" is widely available in fans' video collections.  "SOS" is rare and until very recently, "I Do, I Do, I Do" was unheard of. 

At the end of the programme (which also featured Leo Sayer), ABBA is given some toy animals..

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
Watch Out For The names of "Agnetha" and Frida" appearing on the back of their outfits for the first time
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".
