Fan memories of the concert in Brussels, November 3, 1979
I saw them in 1979, in Brussels.
And yeah it is over 20 years ago, but I still remember some little things.
I went there with two friends, we were all 14 and CRAZY about ABBA of
course. As we were poor teenagers we could not affort the front row seats
or something sort of close to the stage. We were sitting left to the stage
, the Benny/Frida side and had a pretty good view anyway (thanks to my
binoculars I could even see them in close-up! I remember they were very
sweatty, haha!)
As we were sitting Benny/Frida side we could see everything that was going on there, including `backstage` stuff. Like Frida flirting with Claes af Geyerstam the sound engineer, very sexy indeed (when you`re fourteen). Or Frida putting her hand in her tricot ( you know the tight blue ones with the purple stripes) and bends forward to put her breasts in to place. So recognizable to women, to me at least!
Oh and then there was the
music! I loved every second of it, it all sounded so perfect.
We loved Summer Night City, but it took a while to figure out it was SNC!
The trouble with this concert
is that mymemory has been coloured by the ABBA inConcert video, live recordings
and photo`s.
The only memories I am sure of are the Frida things, mentioned above,
they made an impression on me I guess!
