Digital ABBA !...what do you think? (1 Viewer)

[Just smiffy]

 

[Parrot Face]

So glad The Beatles don't have to go through these prolonged sad endings.

 

[ElliesBoss]

Reading somewhere this morning that tickets will be £21. Not bad if correct. Seem to be throwing a lot of technology at it so potentially a good show.

For 21 quid I'll want a chicken Tikka thrown in too.

So visually enhanced, but how about their voices, will it sound like a load of old pensioners let out on day release? After all they are all in their 70's now.

 

[Littlewheels]

In their day they were good whole generations loved them and many of the songs have carried through and are classics but they need to give it rest ,personally, l am sick of hearing about ABBA they should do what many great bands have done,put their feet up. Digital ABBA,they make Cartoons Digitally

May well be cringeworthy but I'll keep an open mind till I hear them.

IIRC when they won Eurovision the UK gave them null poin, what do we know

 

[SpeedyDux]

I don't see the attraction of paying to attend a simulated digital gig.

I would prefer to see a live tribute band. There are some excellent tribute bands. Great atmosphere. Even though the audience can be almost 100% pensioners nowadays for some 70s rock tribute gigs which is a bit weird. We are all teens at heart aren't we.

£21 a ticket or £42 for a couple to go to the pictures. I guess it’s a bargain for some, but not me.

Seen on a cinema screen it'll be a lot like a live gig - minus moshing & spilt liquid.
How the audience react to the visuals will be key.

I saw a Rocky film in the cinema. For the boxing ring scenes the audience was up for it like they were at a real fight.
I did see the late Friday night showing

Considering some of the rubbish offerings that we have dealt up over the years, Waterloo beats any of the stuff we have entered. IMHO Brotherhood of Man were the only ones to come close to a quality entry. Equally, I'm also in my seventies so perhaps my memory is going.

From the bits I've read the new build venue will be offering a 360 degree experience, so hopefully more than a cinema screen. Time will tell.

 

[Puddleduck]

Some of the lyrics to the later songs were tearjerkers. I hope the new songs are half as good.

 

[Spriddler]

Not interested. I've usually been disappointed by revisiting experiences, people and places from my past.

They did nothing for me when they started and I don’t think they are any better digitally. There have been some good tribute groups that at least are live acts.

For 21 quid I'll want a chicken Tikka thrown in too.

And possibly a large bottle of Cobra.

I don't remember them singing that one !

Sadly you won’t hear them what you will hear is a digitally enhanced sound that meets something like their original sound along with digital images,all false, it’s the world we live in and loads fall for it.

In Harrogate you will only be able to afford a digital aspiration of Chicken Tikka for 21 quid never mind ABBA thrown in as well.

I think a lot will depend on the era from whence you came, ie how good is your hearing ? do you actually go to a concert with the quality of sound uppermost in your mind or is it more about the experience?

Probably because 50% of the group are dead !

That's true but it never stopped The Who from reforming.

 

[Camdoon]

I actually thought that was a picture of (whether digitally enhanced or not) what used to be one of Agnetha's better features.

 

[Off da Grid]

They’ve been digitised to look as they did back in the day and will be shown on big screens.
Agnatha looks stunning!
You can tell they are pensioners by their voices but I liked the new stuff.
