1. oooh, the bass and rhythm guitar

lay down a nice rhythm that drives the song in a way unlike the original.

:thumbsup:

8. They were both HUGE in their native countries, Australia and Sweden.

I liked ABBA (I remember buying the 45 of "SOS"), and I still do (nostalgia-wise). The broadway musical "Momma Mia" was a hoot for those who caught them the first time around in the 70s. :-)

9. The concert that clip was from is somewhere out there on the internets

The whole show is kick ass. I used to watch it from that now-defunct UK videolinks site.

Here's "Ashes to Ashes" from the same show:

11. Ry Cooder's Reggae Version Of The Stones' "It's All Over Now"

Off his classic 70's album, "Paradise and Lunch." Absolutely devastating, impossible-to-stand-still music.

Those of you who are only familiar with Cooder from "The Buena Vista Social Club" ought to listen to some of his earlier stuff. The man is a national treasure......
