Midi-Première

Filmed	24 February 1976
Location	Paris, France
Broadcast	24 February 1976, France
Released	This performance has not been included on any officially released video or DVD
Notes	ABBA appeared on the show and "Fernando" was performed to playback in front of what must be the most ugly background ever designed! The "gypsy" dresses look like they are based on a kind of Hungarian embroidery known as "matyó". The shirts that Benny and Björn are wearing are definitely "matyó" style - the dresses are not necessarily "matyó", but the embroidery/needlework itself is. Guests on the show: Danyel Gerard - "Ils viendront tous and Beau dimanche" ABBA - "Fernando" Chantal Goya - "Dans ma maison"
Duration	Just over 4 minutes (Full programme running time 27:55)
Watch Out For	Benny and Björn are wearing male equivalents of the girls' "gypsy dresses" which I've never seen anywhere else. Perhaps they didn't like them and wore them only this once?! Also look out for the cheap way Benny keeps his guitar under control with a piece of string!
