ABBA’s story is one of those rare pop stories that began on a single huge public stage. In 1974, “Waterloo” won the Eurovision Song Contest and sent the Swedish quartet into international fame. What followed was not a brief burst of success but a run of records that travelled almost everywhere. “Mamma Mia,” “Fernando,” “Dancing Queen,” “Take a Chance on Me,” and “The Winner Takes It All” became part of international pop culture so completely that they never really had to be revived. They are simply still there, fifty years later, in clubs from Edmonton to Stockholm.
ABBA Revisited has been touring for more than twenty years and has built a sizable international track record of its own, with performances from Las Vegas and the Bahamas to the Philippines, El Salvador, and Dubai. That kind of road history suits this material. ABBA songs ask for polish, precision, bright vocals, and incredible performances. Nobody delivers quite like ABBA Revisited.
“Dancing Queen” still opens a room up. “The Winner Takes It All” still stops one.
