Additional information

レッツゴーヤング (Let's Go Young) was a weekly youth music series, broadcast on channel NHK from 7 April 1974 to 13 April 1986 on Sundays between 18:00-18:40.

According to NHK (TV company) rules, footage up until 1981 was re-used apart from for special programmes at the time, so they have no footage of this anymore. (Clearly they didn't think ABBA was special enough). Amazingly, this footage somehow turned up in early 2007.

ABBA performed Dancing Queen and Summer Night City - both in full - for this programme although we don't know a broadcast date.  Thank you to Mayumi for this information.

NOTE: The TV programme News Centre 9:00 showed a shortened version of Summer Night City (which was a completely different performance from this one, although the costumes, set and camera angles [you would need to see them side-by-side to spot the subtle differences]), an interview and a shortened broadcast performance of the exact same Dancing Queen as this one.
