How many people remember the following exchange on this group between
Sue Kline and me from Feb 1996?

Me: I had tickets to the ABBA concert at Washington DC's DAR
Constitution Hall . . .

Sue: . . . Agnetha contracted food poisoning after the Boston show
which preceded the scheduled DC concert. It was bad fish, I think . .

Update, 10.5 years later: According to the Abba Wikipedia article --
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBA:>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBA:
"The last scheduled ABBA concert on the US soil, in Washington, DC, was
cancelled due to Agnetha's breakdown after the plane incident."
Further, according to --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:AB...s_Breakdown.3F --
"Agnetha suffered extreme emotional distress during the flight from NY
to Boston when the private plane she was on couldn't land because of
the extremely bad weather (Windsor Locks, Connecticut Tornado) and was
subjected to violent turbulence and lack of fuel. Eventually, it did
land and Agnetha went through the concert in Boston that was delayed
for almost two hours. Next day she was forced to travel to Washington,
DC, but having arrived there she locked herself in the hotel room and
refused to talk to anyone, except the physician who issued the band a
waiver allowing them to cancel the show in Washington, DC, without
legal repercussions from the promoters."

So, while evidently there was a cover story that Agnetha contracted
food poisoning and that is what caused the Washington, DC concert to be
cancelled, the real reason was the emotional distress caused to Agnetha
by a terrifying flight the night before (October 3, 1979).

10 years later and you still have an issue. A sad life you live.
