Anyone who has seen the ABBA tribute band at Epcot

[jimmytammy]

If any one has seen Bjorn Again at Epcot, can you give a feedback report? My DD13 is crazy about ABBA and would love to have seen them in concert. I think she was born in the wrong era! But since that doesnt seem ever likely she is curious as to how well these guys perform ABBAs songs. I took her to see Mamma Mia, the musical at our local coliseum and we both enjoyed it very much.

So if you have seen or will be seeing this tribute band at Epcot please let us know what you think. Also, if you have pics, that would be wonderful too. DD thanks you ahead of time!

Bumping because I have never heard of this group! My DD loves ABBA, too, and would be excited to hear their music, even if it is played by someone else.

I always liked this one by ABBA, I posted it several times on another board here on the DIS, like friends.........

Hi, Tammy.

I heard them tonite but only the last set. Very professional act, excellent vocal harmonies from the two ladies and the bottom being supplied by the keyboard guy. For six pieces, this group packs a punch! I'm not a big Abba fan, but I was impressed enough by this group to want to go back and see them again before they leave.

Songs they did that I knew: Waterloo, Fernando, Take a Chance on Me, Mama Mia and Dancing Queen.

If you're an ABBA fan and going to see this group, I think you'll be very pleased!

Dang it!! Wish they would be there in Oct 2007!!!

Yes, I am a HUGE ABBA fan...

I have them on my IPOD as I write this

I have heard of the this group, heard good reviews someplace, either in a magazine or on tv. Didn't know they played at WDW though!

I was at that set last night too! Hehe - my husband and I went to see the fireworks, and I had actually forgot they were doing their last one right before the show.....it was a nice surprise. We went last weekend specifically to see them, caught the second set.

I've seen Bjorn again 3 times (not counting Epcot) in various venues, and they are always alot of fun. Non-ABBA fans will have fun too, because they goof around a little bit as well. Every time I see them, there is a different person playing "Frida" but the "Agnetha" has always been the same - until Epcot. The guys are the same ones I have always seen.

I have to say, as an ABBA tribute band connisseur (seen Bjorn Again, Voulez Vous and the ABBA Experience, mostly in Scotland) last night's performance was the best yet. The two ladies had fantastic voices that blended perfectly. I too was born in the wrong era!

I don't know anything about ABBA over at EPCOT, but I think last summer I saw an ABBA show at Busch Gardens Tampa.

My DD is eating this up! Anyone have Pics by chance?

We stopped to watch while we were walking by...and thoroughly enjoyed the show. They are very good. At one point, they asked a couple guests (young girls) to get on stage and dance with them. Very cute.

We're currently at OKW and saw Bjorn Again two night ago when they had to cut the show short because of the weather. We went back last night and saw the whole show which ended with "Dancing Queen" as the finale. Excellent show. Vocals and harmonies are very good. Lots of fun. You won't be disappointed. Never posted pictures before and the legend at the bottom says I can not post attachmends. Also have a video clip but the file size is huge so I don't know if I can ever post that. Anyone have tips on posting the photos?
