The last of five concerts on the whirlwind promotional tour of Chess. The dates were:
- Saturday 27 October - The Barbican Hall, London
- Sunday 28 October - La Salle Playtel, Paris
- Monday 29 October- Het Concertgebouw, Amsterdam
- Tuesday 30 October - Congress Centre Hamburg (CCH)
- Thursday 1 November - Berwaldhallen, Stockholm
The concert featured Elaine Paige, Tommy Körberg, Murray Head, Barbara Dickson*, Anders and Karin Glenmark along with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Ambrosian Singers.
Benny played accordion and keyboards while Björn placed himself in the choir standing next to Karin Glenmark.
*Barbara Dickson played the role of Svetlana only for this concert. Karin Glenmark played Svetlana in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Hamburg.
During Endgame Barbara Dickson suddenly was taken ill backstage and missed her cue. As Tommy Körberg looks around for her, unaware of what had happened backstage, Karin Glenmark assumed the role of Svetlana from her place in the choir and totally and utterly stole the show.
Lena Ulvaeus was credited in the concert programme for "Saab-Scania Liaison" - Saab were sponsors of the tour.
