So awesome! One of their greatest performance live. And I must say I allways apreciate your review on Abba. Looking forward for more 👍
Hi Xelection, thank you so very much. I appreciate you watching and commenting. This is us a fabulous song.. great performance. There will definitely be more Abba 🤗💜
This was an awesome performance!
All that concert is really stunning 😍!
Great react, Sue👌!
Hope to see you soon...
Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
Thank you, Alejandro...always nice to chat with you. I hope all is well with you in Chile. This was a great uplifting positive song...love that 🤩💗
As someone said: "You know a song is ABBA but you cannot name an ABBA song it is like!"
Benny said ABBA will not be getting together for Eurovision as he does not want to and if one does not want to that is it! It is up to the others to get him to change his mind. I think Benny's new album is another BAO one (must hear BAO!) I will be looking out for it and will let you know. Another good reaction.
@andyjenkinson5070 Hi Andy that is a shame they aren't getting together to celebrate Eurovision 50. It would be great to see them all.
This live version from their 1977 Australian tour is definitely the best one that I've seen or heard ! .. It's a very good song anyway, but there's something extra special about this hugely joyful and energetic performance of it .. And I love to see them clearly showing how happy they were back then to be together and creating their magic on stage .. Great times !
Hi Wayne, well I am glad I hit their best performance of this song then. I was so impressed wirh this song and performance. You are right. They looked ao happy and so full of energy. They sounded amazing...all around fabulous. The song had a great meaning, as well...love it. There wasn't anything I think they could have done better. I feel a little ripped off for not hearing this song until now so I will have to catch up and play it often now 🤩💜❤️
@@playitagainsue I'm guessing there's quite a few other hidden gems from ABBA that you haven't experienced yet, Sue .. It was the same for me until a few years ago, when I finally got round to listening to all their albums in their entirety .. It was amazing ! .. I hadn't heard such consistently high quality since the time I listened to The Beatles Collection box set .. They really are phenomenal.❤
@wayne_twentyfive I look forward to exploring more of their stuff that I don't know. I have a list of a number of their's that I have heard so there will be more to come 🤩💗
a special comment, for the song and for the day
"He is your brother" has a peculiarity
when ABBA was invited to the Concert by UNICEF
at United Nations, January 9, 1979
all artists, in addition to singing and donating a song,
In the general presentation they do a fragment of a song
That series of fragments begins it
Bee Gees with "Children of the world"
and ABBA closes it with this chorus of "He is your brother"
to which all artists join
The second thing I will say is that this "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah" before the chorus is in my opinion the most powerful of all ABBA's "ah ah"
although the most beautiful is the melodic bridge in "Hole in your soul"
And the third thing is about today's date
here in Argentina it is still 10pm on February 8th,
but in Europe the new day has already begun, on February 9,
and it's very special for ABBA
because on February 9, 1974 in Stockholm
ABBA, and for the first time publicly as ABBA,
competed at the Melodiefestivalen
and they won with their iconic Waterloo (in Swedish)
and thus they would become the representatives of Sweden
to go to Brighton UK on April 6 to compete in Eurovision
where the World Legend of ABBA would finally be born
Therefore, my suggestion is that you pay tribute to ABBA with their iconic performance at Eurovision, winning with Waterloo.
just as the world of music is going to honor them
at the ABBA Arena in London, on Swedish SVT Television,
probably at Eurovision 2024 held in Malmö Sweden
and in various museums and places such as Brighton UK and Waterloo Belgium
Wow, how cool is that Eduardo. I had no idea...what a great fun fact 🤩💗

ABBA BeeGees and much more
Its such a great song and performance Sue.
Hi Helen, I totally agree 🤩
This clip is from ABBA THE MOVIE. If you get the chance you should watch it. It follows a reporter chasing ABBA around in Australia during their tour there. His boss told him he must get an interview and he keeps trying. Shows great concert clips as you can see here and how crazy the fans were in Australia even blocking their car and reaching in trying to get autographs. Great song and reaction.
Hey Viking girl, thanks a bunch for the background. I really do need to watch that movie...hopefully one day soon when I have time. 🤩💙
Interesting info. I never have heard this song or had heard of Abba in 72-3. They had "SOS" in 75, which is the first time I recall them. Education with reactions, that's my Sue. Good one.
Hi my friend, I haven't ever heard it before either. It wasn't a hit in North America at the time. I am glad you learnt something today and hoped you like it too. It is a fun song. Thanjs Willieboy 🤩💙
In fact, ABBA had not yet started as a stable quartet in 1972, only a couple of recordings.
and in fact, their official and iconic name only emerged at the end of 1973, during the recordings of the second album, "Waterloo."
which at the same time is the winner of Eurovision 1974 and ABBA's first Top 10 in the USA
@eduardooscar309 very interesting Eduardo. Thank you for that 🤗
hello, my dear Sue
how good that you do this song
maybe I was one of who request these
It's my favourite of "Ring Ring" album, the first of the future ABBA
"He is your brother"
is ABBA's second single in 1972 and first #1 in Radio Charts of Sweden, just almost 50 years!
In that 1972 year ABBA were not yet convinced of being a group, that is why They were called:
"Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni Frid",
with the girls more as their vocal support, because the ladies still continued hers solo careers
In their first songs there are several like that,
the guys sing one verse and the girls respond to him in the next, and They all share the chorus
Thus you can see the growth of the vocal harmony of Agnetha and Frida,
until they finally assumed the leadership of most of the songs
after the extraordinary worldwide hit with "Waterloo" at Eurovisión Song Contest in UK 1974
when They recorded this song Agnetha was already pregnant with her first daughter,
so there are probably no records of TV presentations like with their first song "People need love"
and after this success on Swedish radio, they were invited to participate in the Melodiefestivalen
(the Swedish pre-selection for Eurovision)
and They will go as "Björn & Benny , Agnetha & Frida"
(with Agnetha in her 8th months pregnant) with their song "Ring Ring"
"He is your brother"
was one of ABBA's favorite numbers (among their old songs)
Is the only song of their first album included in the memorable 1977 Australian tour
(The images were recorded for the film 'ABBA The Movie')
"He is your brother"
in these live perfomance shows the girls dancing in the first chorus,
joining the choruses and taking the lead in the second verse with a lot of power,
ending with a spectacular chorus and Agnetha giving it her highest soprano note in the end
Specialy to see a great moment:
Agnetha & Benny singing together so clear and happy face to face
I see you in next video
GOD bless you and stay safe
Best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina
South America
Hello Eduardo, it is always a pleasure to chat with you and learn more about Abba. You are so well informed and I look forward to hearing new things about them. Thank you for that. It is hard to believe the women were initially support vocalists as they have made such a mark on the world singing and being the main faces of Abba. This is a fantastic song...truly a classic. Thank you my friend. Talk to you soon. Greetings as always from me here in Canada 😍
Heyyy!What a fantastic surprise to do the live 1977 version.That was an electric delivery.Older fans are really familiar to this fun tune cause It's from their iconic '70s big seller ''ABBA Greatest hits" 1976 album (song was recorded early '70s).
Hi Christiano, I am so glad this was a nice treat for you. This is such a great song and performance. Such a fantastic theme to this song....coming together and helping each other 🤗💜
Sue ,so many people( and reactors) enjoy the great music so that they often let the lyrics go over their heads, but I knew you wouldn’t . I hope this song helped so many people in the world have love for everyone . And I don’t remember this song on the US pop charts back then , never heard it until years later, just like “ People Need Love” . One would imagine that here in the U.S. people never heard ABBA until the hit “ Waterloo” because that was the first song from them I remember being played on the radio back in ‘74.
Hi Lovejazz, so great to hear from you again. Thank you for your kind words. I hope this song helped people as well...such a positive, inclusive song. It is too bad it wasn't released as a single in North America back in 72. It would have done well I am sure. But now people like myself get to hear it for the first time 50+ years later...love learning new to me stuff by amazing bands that came out back in the day. This song brings me joy 🤩💜
Nice one Sue! ABBA sort of started out in folk music-style and Frida was yodeling on their first real song People need love... They were first called Fästfolket (they were engaged and that word plays on that), ABBA is a bit more international, haha!
Hi Guinevere, thanks for that fun fact! I always enjoy backstories for great groups...love this group 🤩💗
@@playitagainsue I should have said folk music inspired pop I guess, they sure moved through many genres but pop and folk music is at their core (since before they were ABBA). Benny kept on with the swedish folk music, I think there will be some new music out from him soon.
@@GuinevereKnight Really, that will be cool to hear what Benny will bring out...very fun 🤗
@@playitagainsue Yes, indeed! I am not really following his solo career and his other bands work, ABBA is my thing mostly. but he is quite an active guy. He releases albums here and there on his own or with BAO, performs quite a bit too. Still hoping he can make room for some more ABBA-stuff (in april it's 50 years since they won Eurovision with Waterloo), who knows?
@@GuinevereKnight Wouldn't that be cool for them to have another album out on their fiftieth anniversary of euro vision🤩
Hi Sue, as you know I'm a big ABBA fan, so really enjoy it when you do the group. There early material was mixed in my view. They were still improving their English & perfecting their sound. As you say, the harmonies were already there. This definitely falls into one of their best early songs. The only song I can think they got their pronounciation wrong was Happy New Year, with the word "champaign".
Hi Dave, very interesting insight. I had never heard this song but I think it is amazing. I don't know all of their early stuff but I can see why you would think this is one of their best because it is excellent 🤩💗
@@playitagainsue Have you heard Another Town, Another Train from around the same period?
@@daveharris7224 I am not sure. It doesn't sound familiar. I will have to listen to it and find out😃
this song is on my top 10 best songs from ABBA, can you react to "If it wasn´t for the nights", if you don´t react it?
Hi Arturo, so glad this is one of your favourites. I can do that one for sure 😃
I don't recall this either, very Peter Paul and Mary meets the beatles. 😅 I'm trying to figure who exactly they sound like, Starlight vocal band meets CCR - I don't flippin know. 🤔
Haha love the combos, Jono 🤣. Yeah apparently this one wasn't a single in most places so perhaps you had to be really in the know to know it. I thought it was a great song though...great melody and message. I personally like the PP&M and the Beatles combo 😜😍
@@playitagainsue Sue, I can't pick exactly the sound but, you know what I'm getting at🙄 it'll come to me at 3 am.😱
it's easy ... sound like ABBA
@jono.pom-downunder haha you are like me...all the good things come to me at 3 am 😉💜
