On this day; february 14, 1977

Happy Valentines Day!

On this romantic day, it's only appropriate to talk about a band that was filled with love and relationships, at least it was on February 14, 1977 when ABBA played the final concert of their British tour.

ABBA had just had their most successful year yet, releasing three big hits; Mamma Mia, Fernando, and Dancing Queen, but even more impressive than that is the fact that this group is from Sweden, and only a handful of acts outside the US and the UK had managed any kind of success at this time.



Other notable events for February 14:
-The Who recorded Live at Leeds on Feb. 14, 1970
-John Lennon and Yoko Ono hosted the Mike Douglas Show on Feb. 14, 1972 while Douglas took a vacation
-Billy Idol left his group Generation X on Feb. 14, 1981 to begin his solo career
