The Music for UNICEF Concert: A Gift of Song (1979 TV Special) User Reviews

Unforgettable concert-why not on DVD?

[pmakres1 · 10/10 · 29 July 2006]

Like Ramiroserrano, I saw this concert on TV in 1979 and never forgot it. As a longtime ABBA fan, it holds a special place on my list of "must someday find" items. I liked ABBA's music before I saw the concert, but their performance of "Chiquitita" was so impressive and it was really then that I realized their true talent. Needless to say I bought the Voulez Vous album as soon as it was released. Why has the UNICEF concert not been released on DVD? If anyone hears of its release, please email me and let me know. Likewise, I understand the music was released on an album called "The music of UNICEF" which as yet I am unable to find. If anyone has a lead on this please let me know...Thanks

The greatest show of the 70's

This was the first music TV special broad casted live around the world and most of the artist included on the LP record are famous since the day of their performance on that spectacular event. In my case (a Bolivian music lover) this was the very first "mega festival" I have ever seen, and it will be on my mind FOREVER. ¿When could I see The Music For Unicef Concert again, on DVD?. Top artists: The Bee Gees (amazing performance), Rod Stewart (best live version of "Da ya Think I'm Sexy?"), Earth Wind And Fire (excellent medley), Olivia Newton John and Andy Gibb (great duet), Donna Summer (lovely and touching song), ABBA ("Chiquitita" was a world wide hit thanks to this concert) and John Denver (who, since that day, was knew around the globe as one of the greatest Country Music idols).
