Abba made two significant trips to the U.S.
The first, in November 1975, did not include any stadium concerts but did feature several TV performances. These included appearances in San Diego on the Mike Douglas Show, in Las Vegas on the Merv Griffin Show, in L.A. on American Bandstand, the Don Kirschner Show and the Dina Shore Show and in New York for Saturday Night Live. (Along with Louden Wainwright III, Abba were 'musical guests' on the fifth-ever episode of SNL, on Nov. 15, 1975. They performed "S.O.S." and "Waterloo".)
Abba's only major concert tour in the U.S. was in 1979 when they played 13 dates between September 17 and October 3rd. (They also played four concerts in Canada before and after the American dates.)

Lasse Halstrom, later an Oscar-nominated director, directed most Abba videos and the feature film Abba: The Movie. In fact he was one of the pioneers of music video. Abba's videos were probably the first to play a significant role in selling a music act to new audiences.
