ABBA Eagle (full song) (13 - Live at Wembley Arena) (Dortmund concert video clips, 25 October 1979)

2022, James Righton (Klaxons) about the 10 piece live band formed for ABBAtars concerts:
“It was incredible to hear this band play for the first time and do these songs justice. To see Benny jump on synth and piano and play along - it was so moving. We did a rendition of ‘Eagle’ that went on for 30 minutes because it was so much fun and we didn’t want to stop.”
In 1978, Eagle topped the belgian charts.
It was number 2 in South Africa, 4 in the Netherlands, 6 in Germany, 7 in Switzerland, 16 in France, 17 in Austria.
Eagle was the third and last official single from ABBA: The Album and a kind of tribute to a band that Benny and Björn admired at the time, The Eagles.
It was released in May 1978 only in a limited number of territories (Europa: Austria, West Germany, France, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium and Spain) as a single, and in France as a double A-side with "Thank You for the Music."
"Eagle" was not released as a single in the United Kingdom. It was meant to be a U.S. single, but then withdrawn.
Björn was inspired by Richard Bach's 1970 novel Jonathan Livingston Seagull when he wrote the lyrics for this song. In later years, music critics have hailed "Eagle" as one of ABBA's more outstanding tracks in terms of lyrics.
