DVD The Winner Takes It All - The ABBA Story
The Winner Takes It All: The Abba Story reflects the peaks and valleys of the Swedish supergroup's popularity over the decades, as well as the quartet's turbulent years together. The documentary successfully manages to piece together both the group's public and private sides through the use of interview excerpts and video footage, and it also contains exclusive interviews with all four members of Abba for the first time since their split. Reflecting on the intricate nature of their music, as well as the elevation of their compositions to the heady heights of pop classics, the documentary concludes with behind-the-scenes footage of preparations for the Abba-inspired stage show Mamma Mia! This is a must for all Abba fans, as well as those wishing to discover the heritage of one of the world's greatest pop groups. --John Galilee
Review(s): DVD The Winner Takes It All - The ABBA Story
WINNER TAKES IT ALL - ABBA
Really liked it - Did not know much about the group other than the fact that I liked what they did.
Very happy I purchased it and would recommend it.
This was the ABBA story...
This DVD was rather good. I enjoyed hearing about how ABBA started and what lead them to each other. I didn't mind all the Mama Mia segments because it was very interesting to learn how they remastered all the songs for the musical. It was also enjoyable to see the early clips of everyone. It would have been nice to hear more about the group than see portions of their videos. The video portions were too long.
I also purchased the videos in an Amazon package deal. It was worth it.
This is the one to have!!
If you, like me, feel somewhat cheated in having missed the Abba era, then this is the video you will want to watch. I can't think of anyone who has not been influenced by, or has never heard any of Abba's hits on the radio. This is definatly the video to have if you are a fan or if you just love their music. While this video does not have full sound tracks on it, it does have enough good music and video that shows the power and history of the group from start to finish, the end of an era, in my eyes. After watching this video I felt a loss, not from the video, but, from not having experienced more from Abba. This one is a must have for anyone that loves music. Abba's music has touched all of us at some time or another. I reccommend also purchasing "Abba, The definative Collection" also on DVD, a collection of their music videos.
And just in case anyone from Abba reads this I just want to say "Thank you for the music"!! If they ever decide to create another CD I know I will be first in line to buy it and would spend days in line to get a ticket for a concert.

For those who love Abba (and if you're reading this, chances are you do, even if you don't know it yet), Abba: The Definitive Collection represents a happy, joyous compilation of the Swedish supergroup's numerous videos. Granted, they all seem to have been filmed on the same soundstage (even the firelit "Fernando"), but they retain their appeal and infectious charm. Fans can thrill to these vintage clips, which provide an opportunity to rediscover who was the most natural in front of the camera (Agnetha), who was the best dancer (Anna-Frid, a.k.a. Frida), who was the most demure (Benny), and who was the worst lip-syncher (Bjorn--always Bjorn). Lassé Hallstrom, later an Oscar®-nominated filmmaker, directed most of the early videos, and it shows in their...

I love ABBA. I have all their dvds available. I brought "ABBA In Concert" last Christmas but haven't found the time to review it until this morning. What can I tell you about this 25 year old tape? Well, let me just say that the perfromances are nothing short of excellent. The remastering job is superb, both visually as well as audio. You feel, for the mos part, like you're at the concert. However, there's one porblem: too much documentary, not enough concert. I was hoping we'd get a full concert rather than a few complete performances and a ton of documentary footage. So while I do recommend this dvd, keep in mind it isn't a complete concert dvd. More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 08 June 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

For those who love Abba (and if you're reading this, chances are you do, even if you don't know it yet), ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits represents a happy, joyous compilation of 19 of the Swedish supergroup's numerous videos (it omits 13 that were on Abba: The Definitive Collection but adds "Lay All Your Love on Me" and "I Have a Dream").
