ABBA Live Performance of 'Summer Night City' from Concert Tour

Date: 1979

In January 1979, ABBA was riding high on the success of their album "ABBA: The Album," which was released in November 1977 and featured hits like "Take a Chance on Me" and "The Name of the Game." This period marked a peak in their popularity, as they were transitioning into their late 1970s tour, which included performances across North America and Europe. The live recording of "Summer Night City" from their concert illustrates their blend of pop and disco, showcasing the group's dynamic stage presence and vocal harmonies. Notably, "Summer Night City," released as a single in 1978, was one of the last major works that featured their classic style before they shifted towards more mature themes in later albums. This live performance captures not only their energetic music but also the cultural impact ABBA had during the disco era.
