Voulez-Vous? Fabulous Time Watching Fabulous ABBA The Concert With Fabulous Shannon - IMRAN™ (Part 4)


Voulez-Vous? Fabulous Time Watching Fabulous ABBA The Concert With Fabulous Shannon - IMRAN™ (Part 4)

43 years ago, April 1979, I was preparing to go to the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan for my Electronics Engineering studies there 1980-1984, when ABBA released their album Voulez-Vous. It is French for a risqué-ish (for the era) song meaning "Do You Want?". At that time I was keen on learning German and French was lower on my list of interests, as an I Want To Learn It All. 
It was interesting that I got to hear ABBA The Concert (the ABBA tribute group) perform the song when I have been on a daily French lessons streak of nearly 800 days! Ironically, the beautiful, smart, and fabulous Shannon has also taken up French. We are both using DuoLingo on our Apple iPhones. 
Check out this iPhone camera video I recorded from seats quite far from the stage at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida when I took Shannon to this concert. I will also post a link to the actual masters of the game, ABBA, the original legend, performing this live with a dancing crowd at the start of the 1980s. You will agree how accurate this group is in honoring ABBA's sound and experience.
So, as I love to have beautiful blue-eyed blondes like Shannon ask me, Voulez-Vous? And, even without having learned French, my lifelong answer has been, Oui!

Summer/Night/City - IMRAN™



Nothing better than Times Square, Manhattan, the heart of New York City, the city at the center of the Universe, to feel, breathe, savor and live the energy of a summer weekend at midnight which one of my favorite ABBA songs refers to. Handheld panorama stitched from 38 photos is the size of a 36MP image. See larger to see individuals, faces, expressions, even folds in fabrics, as people dance to the internal beat, of Summer/Night/City. - © IMRAN
