Filmed 15 November 1975 (Frida's 30th Birthday)
Location New York, USA

Notes
ABBA performed "SOS" (LIVE) and "Waterloo" on a set that was supposed to represent the inside of a large boat. More and more water was joked to be coming through the hole and the boat started to sink. Hilarious.
NBC's Saturday Night (now known as "Saturday Night Live") is a comedy sketch show that has been running since October 1975. ABBA's appearance was episode five. Other guests on this episode were Robert Klein and Loudon Wainwright III.
ABBA is the only musical act to ever lip-sync on this show - as pointed out during the "Waterloo" performance!

Help Me Rhonda
Barbara Anne
Opera bit (Frida)
