Notes

ABBA reformed for the only time since "the end" in 1982 to perform "Tivedshambo" for Stig Anderson's appearance on "This Is Your Life" (Här Ar Ditt Liv). The song was one of Stig's first ever compositions in 1947.  Görel Hanser was standing next to the camera (out of shot) holding up the lyrics for them.

Apparently Frida's good friend Daniel Balavoine had been killed in a helicopter crash two days previously in the African desert (along Paris Dakar race organizer Thierry Sabine) which might explain her sad and pale appearance.

Frida arrived just a few hours earlier and apparently left just one hour after the taping.  Before this performance, Frida and Agnetha hadn't met for two years.

This is the very last performance by the ABBA members together that has been shown to the public.
