Disc 2: 1. Dance Away (ABBA In Switzerland) 2. Manifesto (Live In Manchester) 3. A Song For Europe (Live ...
Disc 2 has been put together as well as disc 1, the second DVD features tracks from the years 1979-1982.
The group had split to pursue solo careers during 1976 and when groups split then reform they are usually desperate.
It's clear that Roxy Music still had plenty of good records in them which is quite apparent on this second DVD.
The tracks were more commercial there's no doubt about that but still good tunes many of which have nice glossy promos all of which are included on this DVD.
The best of the bunch on the second disc are 'Over You, Oh Yeah, Angel Eyes, Avalon, More than this' in fact there are plenty of goodies.
The Swiss footage of Abba introducing 'Dance Away' is also a gem.
Although Brian Eno had left the group in 1976 (he went on to do good things with people such as David Bowie) there was still plenty of talent there and it shows well on the second DVD.
I definitely would recommend. The picture quality is as good as the day of the broadcasts and the sound has been re-mastered well especially on the Top of the Pops clips.
Video 4/5 Sound Quality 4/5
Extremely dated selections of promo videos and live clips, the glam rock masters of soothing lounge music basically sums this 2nd disc.
Its short and sweet and doesnt contain anything other material.
