In the pic of Agnetha trying on sunglasses, tour promotor Thomas Johansson is mistaken for Benny.
And there, under the everlasting Los Angeles sun, they inserted their first recovery-break. They installed themselves for a week at the well-known Hotel Sunset Marquee, that is favoured by many rock-stars. And from this venue, they flew to their concerts in the vicinity every afternoon: Las Vegas, San Diego, San Francisco. All with their private jet, a Hawker Jet, that once was owned by the famous billionaire Howard Hughes. Mostly around two o’clock at night they would return to their hotel...
And there, at Sunset Marquee, Bravo had the opportunity to experience ABBA totally private for once. Every morning, all four ABBA-members with their five children could be found at the swimming pool. They swam, sunbathed, oiled each other up with suntan oil – in other words – under the Californian sun they recovered from all the strains of their super-tour.
They especially enjoyed being able to go out shopping on the nearby Sunset Strip, without being recognized. Indeed, the ABBA-songs are known in the USA, but the members themselves are relatively unknown. Up ‘til now they’ve only been seen twice on US TV-screens. But there’s no doubt about it that this will change drastically after the ABBA-tour. Like everywhere else in the world, ABBA will then be hunted for autographs over there as well...
