ABBA Voyage: The Concert Residency – CONTAINS MAJOR SET LIST SPOILERS

[Alias #23]

There is a live band with backing singers so at least someone will hear the applause

Spoiler

as well as the current-day members of ABBA as they take their bows every night

at the spoiler

This isn’t KISS (or some such grisly old rock band) though. Nobody will want to applaud the BAND. I only notice the band when I throw tomatoes at them

 

[Alias #23]

At least they can't forget the words .... or are they sat in another room singing while their holograms do all the hard work?

Oh don’t be silly. The vocals are all pre-recorded on a D90 cassette and someone will be tasked with pressing play once the cartoons start

 

[Diddy]

Fortunately the holograms are impervious to tomatoes - the vocals come from several hidden Alexas, at the start of each song Little Boots shouts “ALEXA PLAY WATERLOO” and the show will continue

It’s a CASSETTE

HOW MANY TIMES

It’s a CASSETTE

Alexa can do cassettes, don’t count her out!

Only problem is that it’s a 50/50 tossup that it’ll play “Don’t shut me down” or abruptly turn off all the cartoons

OH I AM PLEASED

Hearing rumours that

Spoiler: Minor show spoilers

the holograms are actually the A*Teens in morph suits painted to look like ABBA

 

[Alias #23]

I heard that

Spoiler: Major spoiler

One of the A*Teens is a bit tired so they’ve got Jo O’Meara to do it

 

[Pingu]

Just checking, you’re all taking the piss out of @dUb and not me, right?

 

[Diddy]

Your time will come

 

[Christian]

I'm steering clear of this topic until I've seen it. I want to go in as cold as possible.

See you in June!

 

[Nancy]

Is it possible that they could glitch and you'd be left with a legless Bjorn or a headless Frida?

They’re pretty cold in here though

Oooh you could swap them around, like Bjorn’s head on Frida’s body, and he will look down and go “yowza, I have titties!!”

 

[Hak]

With the upcoming concerts our beloved ABBA will take on a new form.

Enthusiastically promoted by none other than Julia Alfrida!

Spoiler: Set list HINTS

Benny in metro today

We didn't want to just play a hit parade - we wanted to play songs we thought would fit well in a concert. There are a couple of songs in there that people are not familiar with, but obviously we can't not play Dancing Queen or Mamma Mia. They’re in there but not all of the No.1s are because of the dynamics we wanted.

 

[Pingu]

They have arrived!

 

[Nancy]

Are they the holograms?

 

[lolly]

Are they the holograms?

It's quite impressive having a cartoon leaning on a walking stick.
