The tour 1973

The tour premiere in Gothenburg

"Come! The mini bus is waiting!" Björn yelled and Frida, Benny and Agnetha came out from the house with their bags. "Sorry, mom called and wondered a thing about Linda's sleep times" Agnetha said. "But why did it take so long for two you then..." Björn wondered with a teasing smile. "Please, shut up Björn!" Frida begged. "That's my thing..." He just laughed. A little smile showed on Frida's lips. "You know.... It take a long time for me to make my hair look this awesome!" Björn sigh. "Women..." he said as a joke. "Men!!!" Frida yelled out loud and Agnetha and Benny started to laugh. "Good said darling" he said and gave her a kiss.

"Morning folks!" Stikkan exclaimed as they entered the mini bus. "Good morning Stikkan." It was Stikkan who would drive them, the back-band and the equipment during the tour. "How long will we be gone this tour section?" Agnetha wondered. "I forgot."

"Just in two days to beggin with. Because of little Linda. I might be a bit gone... But I always keep my promises. And I promised you to perform just during the weekends..."

"Thank you Stikkan.... It means a lot."

Agnetha walked back in the bus as Stikkan began to drive, and dumped down in the seat next to Frida. The boys and the band had alreday taken seat in the little bigger and more opened part of the bus to play cards. "I don't know if I can do this..." Agnetha whispered. Frida understood what she meant. "Of course you'll do... I know you, you can do almost everything."

"Yeah, almost..."

"Nobody can do exacly everything... But I know this is something you can do. Because I did it when my kids were babies, and you are so much stronger than me..." Agnetha smiled against her. What would she do without Frida? She loved her so much. "Thank you..." she said and gave Frida a hug.

MANY hours later they werw in Gothenburg (Göteborg) at the amusement park Liseberg where the whole tour would have its opening. "I really love Liseberg" Frida said to the others. "Me too" Agnetha agreed as they entered the back entrace. It was not that many people there... They tried to walk as discreet as possible and really didn't want people to see them. They  hadn't had one second alone out after Melodifestivalen. Benny saw how a boy stopped some meters away and looked at them with a thoughtful face. But then the boy ran after his mom again. "That was too close..."

"What?" Agnetha wondered. "That boy looked at us and I thought he would recognise us... But he didn't... I think it's quite amazing how people recognise us and such when we didn't even win! The people of Sweden must have wanted us to win. Fuck that stupid jury..."

"Yeah..." Björn agreed "Don't think about that now" Frida said with a smile. "Now we're gonna do our best concert ever!"

After the soundcheck they had some hours free. "What do you want to do? Frida asked  "Ice cream. I really need ice cream!" Agnetha said and licked her lips. "Okay, Björn you go the hotel room and give her some ice cream... Benny and I..."

"But ahhh! Fridaaa!" Agnetha shouted but couldn't hide the smile which spread over her lips. "Why Frida....?" Björn asked. "What's wrong with you?" Benny wondered but gave her a lovely kiss. "Sorry.... You know me. I'm a bit dirty minded."

"A bit?!" Agnetha said and everybody started to laugh. "Okay, VERY dirty minded!" Frida laughed.

They went to a little kiosk where they sold almost all kinds of sweets. "I think I want cotton candy instead" Frida said. "Okay. But I stick to the ice cream..."

"Which taste darling?" Björn wondered.

"Just vanilia please." Benny bought two candy-flosses and gave one to Frida. Björn bought some sweets. Frida looked at Benny's candy cotton. It's pink! "But I want the pink one!" she cried. "Oh my god, Frida. You're so childish..." But Benny gave her the pink candy cotton, and when she got it she looed like a baby who gets a pacifier(?) as a joke. She looked so sweet. "God, I love you so much..." Benny said and gave Frida a kiss. Not just one kiss, they started to snog. "You know, there are kids here..." Björn said and they stopped and started to laugh. "And we need to be in time for the concert! We know how long you two can make out..." Agnetha exclaimed.

They were in the loge and getting ready for the concert. Benny went out from the backstage area and sneak watched  at the audience. He went back to the others where Frida and Agnetha maked up themselves, and Björn tried to get his tight pants on... "This is nearly impossible..." Björn cried. "Yeah... But it's sexy..." Agnetha said with a smile. He smiled back. "You know, you're ass is perfect in tight pants!"

"Then we know what you're thinking about Agnetha..." Frida said with a teasing smile. "What? You should say?!"

Frida lauged. "Okay, maybe not..."

"There is almost packed!" Benny axclaimed and Agnetha and Frida ran away to look. And Benny was right, there were people everywhere! "God, I can't believe that all these people are here to see us!" Frida said. "No... We must have been very nice in Melodifestivalen."

Benny and Björn came out, and they all heard a voice in the speaker. "A big round of applause for the wonderful Björn, Benny Agnetha and Anni-Frid!" They ran out on the stage and started to sing Ring Ring, and a big applause sounded over whole Liseberg.

There was no better than to sing together with people you love in front of more than thousand people... And this was just the beggining...
