When All Is Said And Done
6th April 2004 was the Fifth Anniversary of MAMMA MIA!, the hugely successful musical based on ABBA's songs. It was also the Thirtieth Anniversary of Waterloo winning the Eurovision Song Contest and propelling the group to superstardom. For the first time since the band split in 1982, Bjorn, Benny, Anni-frid and Agnetha were to appear in public together, attending the performance of MAMMA MIA! in London's West End and celebrating the show's huge success. But would Agnetha, with her terrible fear of flying, make a rare foray out of Sweden to join the others?
Centering on the run-up to this occasion and capturing the excitement of the event, this film remembers the ABBA phenomenon. It features new interviews with all four band members; film shot with them in Sweden and London; digitally remastered archive footage going back to pre-ABBA days including highlights of ABBA on tour and on stage; and the sounds of no less than twenty-four of their hit records. Together with exclusive footage in rehearsal and from the phenomenally successful musical MAMMA MIA!, you have an absolute feast of the music of ABBA.

Great show - bigdozer
I was really impressed by the quality and the music from this specific concert and would highly reccomend it to other for this is what ABBA is all about the heart and soul of great music. I had seen a part of this concert on a PBS special fund raiser, unfortunately they don't show all the same content as the original DVD.I loved it! - RSEE
Highly recommended!
This is a must for any ABBA fan. Many clips of various concerts, clips of "ABBA - The Movie" (that is coming out on DVD, Fall of 2005), and interviews with the four members of the pop group.
Also, "Mamma Mia" rehersals and bits of the show itself. We also get to see the four members performing with their original bands or during their solo career in the 60s. Slightly superior and more entertaining than the similar "ABBA - The Winner Takes it All".
