V pleased at the absence of Money, Money, Money. Never liked that song - ridiculous lyrics set to grating music! The funny part of this sentence is that Bjorn would probably half-agree with you on the lyrics - he's openly admitted that it was a case of one word getting stuck in his head and just rolling with it. Can't say I agree with your opinion on the song at all otherwise but to each their own.  That said I feel like that if there's any Gold song they don't include Money Money Money would be one of the most likely exclusions. |

Super Trouper isn’t as upbeat as some other more mid tempo tracks and tends to plod along, so I’m glad it might not be included.

Also noticed that The Visitors - mentioned by someone who'd been there - is missing from that piece. Maybe the set list was different on each night? Have to say that it's a really nice setlist. Oddly, The Visitors is mentioned in the text surrounding the setlist (look again). I had wondered if they’d missed out album tracks but there is one in there (well, a single in only a few countries anyway). Also in the text is Benny’s spoken introduction. (I didn’t actually buy the paper. WHSmith does have its uses very occasionally). |

Can we PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS!!! Well, you have clearly headed it as a Spoiler thread, but yes, for the sake of those that “view recent posts” and therefore might see it when they don’t want to, it might be a good idea. You don’t have to shout though.  |

Im sorry. Apologies. Thanks for at least hiding the full set list. Much appreciated. I might avoid this thread just in case everyone does not get the memo. Cheers!

I agree the concert setlist is impressive. Good to see quite a number of songs which have never seen the likelihood of a live performance before. There may be subtle changes to the setlist from time to time to accommodate everyone's tastes.

Not including this as a spoiler, but nicked via a friend from a well-known ABBA social media group. 60-page programme with a bonus postcard of one of the members. The screen-grab of the comment I saw was from someone saying theirs was Agnetha and Björn (so that doesn’t make sense…) If the Sunday People article is anything to go by, this programme will probably be extortionate (as, apparently, is the other merchandise)  |

Sorry, johnny, your post doesn’t make sense in places. By “upself” you mean “upset”? If they’ve voluntarily read or posted in it, how could it upset them? |

But it was a thing of beauty. That was 2014. |

Alan -- Believe it or not, some ABBA Fans do read 'Spoilers' about the Voyage 'Shows' - and then decide
to get very angry indeed. To me it is very silly, but some Fans really do behave in that way. They just
cannot resist reading 'Spoilers', and then being furious that they were Posted! Some People simply do
not take responsibility for their own actions.

Whose taste? Do you imagine people will be able to know in advance if the setlist has been changed to accomodate their taste, and which exact shows they will make these changes to, to accomodate their taste?

People are nuts. I just saw a youtube video of a guy saying he found out who one of the leakers was, found out what night he is going and will be going to find said leaker to have a go at him. Insanity. Just lay off the socials, block keywords ect....

I think most non hardcore fans would rather hear a hit instead of an obscure track. I thinks that is all he was saying. |

Are fans really getting their knickers in a twist about spoilers? Its unfortunate, but it's going to happen (not here by the look of things) but you can't censor the whole Internet. If someone really doesn't want to see anything they'd do better to be vigilant or log off the net until they've been and seen it themselves.
I am optimistic that it's amazing. I'm just still rather worried I won't enjoy it fully because I'll be too emotional, damn it.

Yeah, you're right if some people voluntarily choose to read "spoilers" they have no right to complain afterwards. I withdraw my previous comments and will post in a thread labelled SPOLILERS? Who reads "recent posts". I didn't even know theis existed. Thanks for not making me feel bad for posting in a thread called Spoilers. |

JJ, I was merely trying to be polite and diplomatic by saying the " Voyage " concert set list could be slightly altered from time to time so that all ABBA fans have the opportunity to hear their favourite ABBA song performed. Obviously not every song from ABBA's catalogue will appear and many favourites will be omitted.
Dankeepinganeyeonabba, thanks for coming to my rescue. My comment was tactful so as not to offend anyone. " To err is only human ".

Clearly I meant "upset". You heard of typos? Who reads "recent posts". I didn't even know theis existed. And have you heard of the “edit post” option? Quite easy to find. As is “view recent posts”. Bottom of the menu in mobile view. For me the most logical way of going into the forum. I’ll admit I was naive in thinking that if you deliberately look at spoilers, you then can’t be annoyed it’s been leaked. But, hey, we’re in a world where no one takes responsibility for anything and no one holds their hand up and apologises, so yes, my bad there. I tried to be polite in my previous post, and was only after clarification, but you have to insist on being arrogant and condescending. It’s really not attractive in this setting. |

Looking at the image of the reported setlist, I was kinda hoping there would be an equal distribution of songs with Agnetha on lead vocals vs. Frida on lead vocals, but it seems that the number is a bit uneven. Perhaps they find that songs with Agnetha taking lead tend to be more popular so they chose more of them...? Nonetheless, I'm pretty happy with the setlist.
I tallied up all the songs under the spoiler tag if anyone's interested.  Agnetha lead vocals
1. SOS
2. Chiquitita
3. Lay all your love on me
4. Gimme, Gimme Gimme
5. Don't Shut me Down
6. Thank You For The Music
7. The Winner Takes It All
Frida lead vocals
1.The Visitors
2. Knowing Me, Knowing You
3. Fernando
4. When All Is Said And Done
5. I Still Have Faith in You
Joint vocals
1. Mamma Mia
2. Summer Night City
3. Voulez Vouz
4. Waterloo
5. Dancing Queen
Bjorn lead vocals
1. Does Your Mother Know

Good Morning..
Oh my giddy Aunt! I hope Abba don't Visit this Site, it's like OK Corral' on this thread.
Life is surely Stranger than Fiction. I made the right decision on not joining any of those narcissistic Social Media Platforms.
Imagine someone searching you out at a Concert, over something so petty as a Spoiler reveal.
He would instantly regret it, if l witnessed such lunacy. People are so easily offended.
It was more or less Guaranteed that the Majority of The Set List, would Consist mostly of The Popular ones listed on Gold, But we will soon discover, if there are any little Surprises to Come.
