Unplugged albums were all the rage in the 90s, so way too late for ABBA. But which ABBA song(s) might you have liked to see get the ultra-stripped-down treatment? For me, 'The Name of the Game' immediately springs to mind. Great song as it stands but maybe the sheer lushness detracts a tad from the emotional content, so it would be interesting to hear a slightly more exposed vocal.

I would have loved to hear When all is said and done in a more naked version.

I think if I had to plump for a whole ABBA album to be 'unplugged', it would probably be 'Arrival'.

The only song that was performed unplugged is Thank You For The Music (on Nöjesmaskinen) and it is a fantastic version. For a long time (before Voyage happened) my dream was that ABBA would get together for a TV special, where they would be interviewed in Swedish, reminisce and then perform a song or two around piano. But I'm not sure if it's not too late for this already.

In the book I wrote with @thisboycries - ABBA Unabashed, available in all globally dominant online stores - the 2 songs I thought woulda sounded great unplugged were Another Town, Another Train (from RR) and Thank You For The Music (from TA), with the Doris Day remix being kinda half-way towards unplugged, so I would concur with Michal there. |
