It was shown here in New York on local cable channel NYC-TV on 8/9/08. But - the channel ran it for only an hour, which means that over 30 minutes were cut. I stumbled onto it by dumb luck. What a joy it was to hear that music again. I would have given anything to have seen ABBA in their late 70's heyday. Why won't they get back together and tour, at least for a few venues? They would clean up, and their fans would be elated. Come on. If The Police can put aside their differences and tour, they can too. Never mind this "we want our fans to remember us the way we were." That's nonsense.

I think Frida is very keen for the four of them to get back together. I believe the biggest stumbling block is Agnetha who is adamant she will never perform as a part of ABBA again. I'm with you adam - I'd love to see them perform live.

I would just love them to do one more song together as ABBA,unfortunately it 99.9% likely that we will never see them reform to tour again but surely one song would not be out of the question.As mdliske said Frida would love to perform again with ABBA,Bjorn has said in the past if the other three were keen he would consider it,Agnetha would never tour again,she hates travelling now so if anything was to ever happen again it would be in Sweden only,Benny was also against ABBA reforming just like Agnetha but he did say just after the Swedish premier of Mamma Mia when all four were together it could be fun to get a few bottles of champagne and grab a guitar and go and do a few songs behind closed doors.So i still live in hope that they may just get the incentive and motivation for all four to come together and record one new song.
Also would love for Agnetha to do a follow up to My Colouring Book,it was so good to hear her voice again.I'm sure she laid down about 18 demo songs for the album and 13 made the album so i wonder if the other 5 tracks are lying around in the vaults awaiting to see the light of day.

They were offered a billion dollars to reunite nine years ago. And they refused because they wanted people to remember ABBA as young and energetic. If they turned down A BILLION! nine years ago because they were too old. What chance do you think they will reunite?

They should have reunited around the time when ABBA Gold was first released. ABBA Gold bought ABBA back, before Mamma Mia!
