Notes

(entry previously called World's One Man Show)

According to NHK (TV company) rules, footage up until 1981 was re-used apart from for special programmes at the time, so they have no footage of this anymore.  (Clearly they didn't think ABBA was special enough).  Amazingly, this footage has turned up in early 2007.

ABBA performed "Summer Night City" and "Dancing Queen" (both to playback) with a little interview in between. "Summer Night City" was cut short before the interview.
