Live At Wembley Arena (2 CD, Digi Book, Limited) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Like most other reviewers here, I can first say: finally. 35 years after ABBA's 1979 tour there is now finally a live album that is worthy of the title. The published 1986 LIVE was pieced together from different songs from different concerts of different years, which were typically mixed for 80 with bombastic Reverb and connected with fake applause.
There now first going on a full concert (the solo number of backing singer Tomas Ledin not included), which comes without much post-production. For this and for the great package there are the five points.
ABBA show here that they could reflect their complex musical arrangements readily on stage. The band behind the band is great, it's fun to guitarists and bass players to listen. The instruments are finally mixed so that they can hear individually what a contrast to the exaggerated polished sound of the 1986 album.

Benny Andersson and son Ludvig, who produced the record indicated, all six Wembley concerts by heard and to have finally chosen the best. This choice is my only criticism. In addition to said live album from 1986 recordings of Wembley thanks to a BBC radio specials and a TV live recording are known. Which evening came whatsoever these recordings, it is very surprising why this recording to have been worse than those ultimately selected. Just Agnetha has had no good evening on November 10, which is audible fact. Her voice is thin and it seems that they sing mainly from the neck (someone wrote differently here aptly, they sing from the nose), what her voice is a strange timbre and an uncertain occurrence. It's not that she does not hit the notes in rows. But it does not sound particularly pointing here. Just Chiquitita acts so much worse than the known recording of another Wembley evening. Since Agnetha sings with clear and strong voice and who is familiar with the biography of the group, know that the band have reworked the recordings for ABBA THE MOVIE vocally strong in the studio on the recordings from 1979 is known nothing of the sort. So Agnetha sounded another night better. Also Björn sings here with very mucilaginous voice support by backing vocalist Tomas Ledin is clearly audible. It is Frida that holds the concert vocally, and for example their great head voice in the intro from Summer Night City proves, despite a cold, they should have had during the Wembley concerts.

Why I prefer it from no star? Now, ABBA sounded this evening now times like that. And in a publication from the 21st century, about even a perfectionist like Benny Andersson has watched, it is almost a miracle that it has not simply chased the song of the band members through the auto tuner.

Despite some vocal weaknesses outweigh with me at the end of the joy of this very authentic live experience. The public is clearly audible and audible euphoric. Agnetha is with I'm Still Alive own and hitherto unpublished composition before that although they audibly nervous but imagines playing with suddenly very firm voice at the piano, and in addition to the Andersson / Ulvaeus compositions to pass readily know. And the song selection makes a finally clear why ABBA are successful and important for the history of music to this day. The group has now times made great music that goes far beyond simple pop music.

We can only hope that they outweigh positive votes for this paper and encourage the men of ABBA-Creation to bring a recording of the tour of 1977 in a similar form to the plate market. Were waiting with I Am An A and Get On The Carousel two ABBA songs that were never released on CD.
