  • A compilation of all of ABBA's songs that were seemingly never performed, whether live in concert, on a TV show, or a promo clip. For this compilation, I did not include the different language versions of songs because I was lazy, I also didn't include any of the demo tracks from ABBA undeleted as those songs were technically never finished so they wouldn't have been performed live (technically Dream World, I Am The City, and Put On Your White Sombrero were also not finished during ABBA's active years and only completed in the 90s... but who cares). I used this lovely website ABBA The Concerts (www.abba-theconcerts.de/index...) to help with this list, especially with the setlist for the 1973 tour. While we have no visual footage of ABBA performing Nina Pretty Ballerina live, they did perform it during their 1973 tour, hence why it's not included in this video. Also, you may be thinking, "Where's Lay All Your Love On Me and The Visitors? ABBA didn't perform those songs!" and while true, they didn't perform them during ABBA's first 10 years, the ABBA members did perform them, as well as "I Still Have Faith In You" and "Don't Shut Me Down", for the Voyage concert. Also, I do not count footage of ABBA recording the Voyage album as them performing the songs.
    Anyways, we don't technically know the setlists for ABBA's 1974-75 tour, so they may have performed songs that I included in this compilation, but we really have no way of knowing that.
    Also, interestingly, almost every single song from the original LP of Arrival has been performed in some way or form, which is pretty cool. (No, the cartoon of Happy Hawaii doesn't count as a performance either.)
    So yeah, I hope you enjoy. :3 Of course if I missed anything, feel free to let me know, but BE POLITE.

    A lot of their songs that were never performed were wonderful!
    There's not an ABBA song that I didn't like. They are the best pop sensation ever!
    "Move on" was one of my all-time favorites. Sent it to my son when he graduated from high school.
    "Andante Andante" ... one of Frida's finest vocals.
    "Our Last Summer"... Frida's vibrato is prominent and superb. When moments in time become memories.
    Always awesome Creativity... thank you for sharing! 💖

      I believe you're referring to Cassandra, which they performed one time on the German TV show Show Express in 1982! The song does feature the same instrument arrangement as Put On Your White Sombrero, but is a completely different song! Put On Your White Sombrero wasn't publicly heard until 1994 when it was released for the first time on the Thank You For The Music Box Set. 😊

      Many years ago I read it was briefly performed on the 1974 tour dates but havent located that report since. It was recorded early for the ABBA album, around the time of SOS and Hey Hey Helen so, it figures it possibly could have been performed live to try it out as was the case with the other early songs being recorded for ABBA.

    Some of the early songs were performed on their early swedish tours ANd on their 1975 european tour, I was in their concert as a kid and they played songs from the Waterloo & Ring Ring Albums, for instance ME & BOBBY, ANOTHER TOWN, DANCE & SHE'S MY KIND OF GIRL which they also performed in Japan, big hit there. So not quite correct

    I don't think Lay All Your Love On Me was ever performed? Certainly not live.

    Funny that they don’t play live one of the best songs from Voyger (Keep An Eye On Dan).

      Neva!not even in on tv by ABBA except from a small part of its audio that was presented during the single's review in UK and got a miserable review by a celebs jury during the show.But people in Uk loved it.
