Love ABBA and I love this song, So Long, and no doubt Frida and Agnetha look fantastic in those costumes. I love it all. ABBA, the greatest group in the history of music.

Minha juventude foi ao som do grupo ABBA.... Até hoje sou apaixonado pelas músicas desse grupo e vejo as novas gerações da família no mesmo caminho, quando nos reunimos sempre somos embalados pelas músicas desse maravilhoso quarteto sueco ABBA!!!!

A lost tape recently found. Very good. And if 'So long' were a brand new song sung today by some outfit, people everywhere would stop and say, "Wow, that sounds catchy and fresh. Has a melody to it, too. How refreshing!"

And that's just 'So Long'.

(Agnetha and Frida look great in this clip. I'm sure that the female audience members briefly glimpsed must have been glad to see the ladies leading the stage in '74. So many male bands on TOTP took up the stage).

No matter what has ever been said .this is the ultimate Rock song, just as if Elvis or Chuck were incarnated to women !

[Glassgirl]

Excellent, if you find any more please make sure you post them on here...

I've never seen LIVE performance on Top of The Pops ever - wow!!!

[McRomik]

It is interesting how for live performance they lowered the key by a whole tone!

[joehawley]

Frida sporting her huge afro/perm, lol. She is absolutely gorgeous, but she has to cringe when she remembers this hair style.

The date would have been December 5th (a Thursday), when the show was transmitted.

[GJB]

Dunno why you lot paid £600 for this and then uploaded it to YouTube and gave it away free. Myself and a few others had this for nothing long before anybody connected to the ABBA fan club knew the performance existed.

[Eleventhearlofmars]

Boy did I have a crush on agnetha :-))

[lewminati]

Not surprising that this wasn't a hit in the UK if this was the British public's first exposure to this song with its crappy BBC orchestral arrangement.

[dynjarren]

They dressed like aliens but they sounded good.

[lewminati]

I'm sorry but how can you call this video "real HD"? Upscaling a video to 1080p does not make it HD!
