Movie Reviews of Abba - In Concert 1979

Movie Review: Bah!
Summary: 2 Stars

I'm really dissapointed with this production. I've got other ABBA DVDs as "The Winner Takes It All" and "The Definitive Collection" because ABBA is one of the greatest music groups of all history.
I'm not sure if they aggred with this DVD producers, or maybe ABBA members never saw the final product. First of all, the sound quality is really, really poor. You can compare The ABBA Definitive Collection, and that's something better. That has been good performed, seriously. I think producers -knowing ABBA fans' anxiety of having their music or concerts- have launch this DVD to earn all the money they can.
I hope to get another version, more serious. The essence of the productios is really valuable, but customers cannot satisfy this people ambition.
I demand more responsability from producers, and more respect to this outstanding group!

Movie Review: Too much rockumentary hero worship for me
Summary: 2 Stars

I like Abba and wanted a DVD of their concert for '79, a show which I saw back then. There are good moments but my biggest complaint is there is too much documentary about how great they are, how Take a Chance on Me came to them, but my biggest complaint, the track "I Had a Dream" which was the best song of the show is butchered with a documentatary halfway through the song. To see "I HAd a Dream" uncut, you had to go to the extras. Why wasn't it the other way around? Maybe there is another Abba DVD out there which just plays the show and goes light on the documentary.

Movie Review: Not Enough Music
Summary: 2 Stars

This is probably great for the ABBA fan who wants to learn about the group, but if you are wanting a video of them doing what they do best, you will probably be disappointed. The DVD includes too much stuff that is not ABBA performing. The bits and pieces of their performances that are included are good, but I had hoped for more of a "concert" DVD as the title suggests.
