| Notes | This clip is guaranteed to have most ABBA fans groaning and reaching for
the fast forward to avoid the children's choir bit. This is not exactly the same clip for I Have A Dream live as that shown in the ABBA - Live In Concert programme. Although it's clearly the same performance, the other one has more camera shots (and is interrupted by the dreadful children's choirs in rehearsals). Polar used it as a film clip but it wasn't shot for that purpose - it was just the closest thing to hand. This version is particularly annoying as you hear the introduction to "Does Your Mother Know" from the ABBA Live album right at the end, when in fact there was an encore of "I Have A Dream" at each concert. There is a THIRD, longer, version of this
performance of where there is a reprise of the song. It was only on one
release (The Story Of ABBA) where the extra footage is from after Björn
asked "Do you wanna hear that again?". Notice that it's a different
little girl to Linda that Agnetha is singing with.
