Live At Wembley Arena

Wow ! The Swedish fab four captured live in all their glory ! A big grateful thanks to Benny's son Ludvig Andersson, the producer, for making this happen. Upon receiving this 3, 180g, album set I immediately had to have a full complete listen. Just as the wonderful info photo insert states, that audiences and critics were both astounded by the group's live reproduction of their music,....so was I ! Leaning back in center of room, eyes closed, with my Bose surround sound system, the volume cranked up, a smile set up on my face from Intro track and remained there throughout...along with a tear of pure joy ! The beautiful and professional voices of Frida and Agnetha , Benny's awesome keyboard playing, the fun vocal energy of Bjorn, the best backing band in Sweden, all so well captured and produced, just carried me away as if I was in the front row section of the concert. Amazing, fantastic, and yes astounding ! I have the cd as well, But on this 180g vinyl the sound is phenomenal. I am so looking forward to hearing the new ABBA tunes coming out the fall of this year, 2020. Here's hoping the abbatar hologram tour is as professionally and meticulously produced as this live album. Thanks again Ludvig !

I am only reviewing the aspect regarding the quality of the vinyl record pressing, not of the music. The records skip in many places. The manufacture is defective. I cleaned the records, i cleaned the tonearm stylus, I leveled the turntable, and the skipping simply would not stop. I had to return the item. I use an Audio Technica turntable which is only 3 months old (bought brand new, sealed) and none of my other record albums skip. Extremely disappointed.

thank you for the quick replacement of the badly torn copy received.love the songs of the album and has been spinning it on past weekends

Just got my ABBA album Live at Wembley Arena, 3 vinyl disc. Ordered on June 12 '20 got it on June 14 '20. Just wanted to collect the big colorful album and hang in a protected album hinged frame holder. I already have this music on my smartphone, iPod, & cd.

Very glad to hear that the issues with the 2014 vinyl release have now been resolved. This 2020 vinyl release has been newly remastered and sounds excellent. Good job and thank you. We can now enjoy this great concert on vinyl. The backing band consisting of Sweden's finest is so tight by this stage of the 1979 tour that they are a real pleasure to listen to and on songs like Eagle, Summer Night City and Hole in your soul the live versions are surprisingly muscular with great depth. The Eagle/Name of the game segue is sublime. Jimmy Page attended one of the Wembley shows and listening to this you can hear why.

Interesting. Two of the records have the same label - vinyl #1. But one has the vinyl #1 tracks and the other has the vinyl #2 tracks. Clearly an error in production - I wonder if anyone else has this issue?Also interesting is how subdued the audience are. I think this is a partly ‘sign of the times’ but considering how massive ABBA was it’s weird that the audience seem so underwhelmed. Maybe it’s the mix / production too.Either way, this is an amazing set. Some songs come across better than others but I can only imagine how amazing it must have been to see them live.The photos in the ‘booklet’ are a bit strange - some taken from a strange angle - looking towards the audience from the side of the stage and not that many of the group on stage.Things do warm up as the gig progresses but they are nowhere near the studio sound which is not surprising as the compositions are highly complex. I think though that they really did a brilliant job with the live performances and I’m very glad I can add this to my collection. I also love that they fiddled about with some of the arrangements - especially the transition from Name Of The Game to Eagle.I’m listening to Eagle as I write this and it is indeed very nostalgic. Let’s face it, ABBA were phenomenal and their place in pop history is secured for infinity.

Quality of the recording is brilliant and makes you feel like you are there.

Much improved sound quality than 1st pressing.

Als Abba-Fan hatte ich leider nie die großartige Gelegenheit, ABBA live zu erleben. Daher entschloss ich mich, das Live-Album „Live At Wembley Arena“ (in Vinyl) zu kaufen. Enttäuscht wurde ich nicht. Ganz im Gegenteil. Die 3 LP's haben eine Top Qualität und sind absolut plan. Es handelt sich um eine gute mittelschwere 180g Qualität, kein Rauschen und null Knacksen. Etwas Staub auf den Platten, aber keine Kratzer. Dank Half Speed Mastering erreichen alle Titel eine wesentlich höhere Auflösung. Der Klang insgesamt überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Eine gute Live-Atmosphäre kommt gut zum Ausdruck. Alles in allem überzeugt das Album. Einzig die Ltd.-Number konnte ich nirgends finden. Das Cover ist zwar kein Klappcover, was ich sehr schade finde und doch ausreichend für 3 180g LPs. Inne liegend ist ein zweiseitiges Booklet mit schönen Konzertbildern. Und ein Coupon für MP3-Downloads.Die Musik ist Kult, da muss man nicht mehr viel schreiben. Ich habe sogar das Gefühl, dass die Mucke live noch besser, kreativer rüberkommt. Man fühlt sich ein wenig in die Wembley Arena zurückversetzt. Klasse.Warum man diesen wirklich guten Konzertmitschnitt erst vor wenigen Jahren veröffentlicht hat, ist mir schleierhaft. Einige Titel wie „I'm Still Alive" und "Gammal Fäbodspsalm" oder "If it wasn`t for the Nights“ kannte ich noch nicht und waren eine echte Bereicherung für mich. Das Konzert in der Wembley Arena zeugt von ihrer Beliebtheit und sympathischen Ausstrahlung. Daher eine klare Kaufempfehlung von mir.Nachtrag: Ich muss leider wieder einen Stern abziehen. Warum? Der beigelegte Back to Black Code funktioniert seit Wochen nicht. Somit bleibt mir der MP3 Download verwehrt. Habe mehrfach den Support angeschrieben, leider ohne Ergebnis. Eine schwache Leistung!
