Saw this band at a 2 dollar catch a rising star concert in Seattle in the early eighties. Not kidding, it was the loudest concert I've ever been to, I couldn't hear for two days. And I've seen: AC/DC, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Saxon and more. To this day it may have been the best concert I've ever been to. Doc put on one of the best live performances I've ever seen. He jump off speakers, walked on the arms of the chairs over the crowd, challenged audience members to slap boxing matches, and hopped around the stage on both feet throughout the show. Will never forget that night.
I have seen the Angels live many times, they were my favourite band growing up. Still have all their albums and can sing all the lyrics. Interesting that they played Seattle, at a Pearl Jam gig I went to a few years ago Mike McCready was wearing a Face to Face tee-shirt. Perhaps he was at the same gig?
I saw Motörhead in the early 80’s and as for loud, well I’m 57 now and my ears are still messed from that show. Thanks Lemmy….It’s worth it! Love the angels ( Angel city) never got to see them live though. I grew up in Salem Oregon so I remember the Catch a rising star shows. KGON FM DJ’s Country cousin Dicky sheets and the The Big B.A. ( Bob Anchetta) use to plug those shows all the time back in the day!🎶
was just adding up the maths myself, eeek i'm old i was 16 then, wow, saw the angels heaps, esp when they were playing with the divinyls on the north shore
I do not know how many folks remember “Angel city”in the USA. I was a fourteen year old kid in 1979 when “Face to face “ debut and I was hooked from that point forward. Very saddened when “Doc” died in 2014. My all time favorite tracks though are “I can’t shake it” from “Face to face”and “Devils gate” from the “Darkroom” album. Love the Angels!
Thanks for something many in OZ have been scarring there heads about for 40 years. Why did the yanks miss The wonderful Angels. Well they did miss the fact that NASA somehow got through the Van Alan Belt that would have melted a spaceship 🚀 in a second.
awesome... every time i seen them in the 80's to 90's the crowd went crazy when they played Take A Long Line, Shadow Boxer, and Mr Damage... "a brand new suit of clothes for a very special day, a very special day, a very special day, a very, very, very special day.... heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey".... "don't you know who did it first?... Mr Damage".... i still love that sound
Call me biased as I was born in Australia, and raised on good old fashioned Aussie pub rock, but I have to say Australia produces the best rock musicians in the world, and the mighty Angels are proof of that.
Up next Molly rubbin up on anyone he can...no wonder Aussie chicks struggled so much wif him at the helm of what is and isn't good enough for public tv broadcasting..see him near acdc...he's like. Ya so straight it makes me go all weak at the knees..they're like..ya pathetic..!!
Whenever we heard the intro for this song play we'd all sprint for the rink. It marked the beginning of every speed skate session at our local skating rink. Ah, memories...
locally in the suburbs The Angels were massive and the biggest until AC/DC did Back In Black.... most Rocktober concerts at the time featured The Angels.
You have to wonder about the Brewster, Rick or John, i cant remember, who, you would have to think, sacrifices their own enjoyment by sanding perfectly still night after night. Hats off.
it was Rick but he didn't stand in the one position all night.... occasionally he would change stance and then resume standing still.... took a lot to do it too with all that sound. what a pro and a legend.
😂 13 yr old me had a Angels Tshirt too. Still kinda annoyed my parents gave my LiveLine double LP to good will along with all old records 25 years ago...
Aussie Pub Rock at it's best!👍
I reckon Doc is the GOAT
Just a fair dinkum volcanic talent

The Angles and Rose tattoo are the best live performances i have ever seen...throw the Models in there also
I agree, the loudest band I ever heard. Parramatta Leagues mid 80's.

@@fionaottley4976 I heard some of the members of Queensryche were there from an interview with them years ago.
DOC NEESON, THE MASTER AT WORK!
Ac/dc . The angels and Rose Tattoo all kicked arse good old Aussie rock legends
ACDCs lead guitarist could not stay still ,Angels lead guitarist would not move,both ROCK
You're right!!! Damn, could you imagine if the Brewsters and the Youngs had a side band together!? :P
I just grew a mullet listening to this.....
wish I still had the hair to grow one

One of the great front men.

@@gormjohannessen2643 Doc Neeson is/was amazing ,one of the most underrated ever!!!
@@gormjohannessen2643 The band behind him are as equally brilliant.
Angels at Selinas Coogee 😃Face to Face ..my favourite Angels album.
Was a great band
My favourite Australian band.
And my favourite song is Marseille, followed by Face the Day and I’m Scared…🎸
Wow! Molly Meldrum looks so young in the opening clip.
Good thing the music is timeless rock that keeps sounding perfect regardless of its age!
He loves that towel. A Towel, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have...
He said, "I never existed, you've been wasting your time..."
OH yeah love this song
Seen the angels many times ,great backbone of up and coming life's journey,good stuff ❤️✌️
One of the sharpest and precise guitar riffs I've ever heard.
41 years....damn, time sure does fly by.
was just adding up the maths myself, eeek i'm old
i was 16 then, wow, saw the angels heaps, esp when they were playing with the divinyls on the north shore

I'm from Los Angeles, Ca and enjoyed Angel City tremendously. Got to rock out with them in small Hollywood clubs, they were/are brilliant.
Wow, so impressed an American can appreciate my all time fave band!
@@rainbowstones5431 There's a few of us here.
What about" Nothin to win" if you haven't heard it check it out.
This is it folks....over the top.☝️
The Angels (billed as Angel City) opened for the Kinks in Chicago--fall '80. They indeed took a long line! I was impressed-still am.
if you never saw the Angels at the play room....you never lived
Bloody oath
@@vp3517 abso bloody lutely

OMG won of my favorite air guitar bands I ever so ROCKED HARD to...................like 1980's Rock on fellow patriots, Blessings from Alberta
Criminally underrated here in the USA. Stellar record and track!

Thanks for something many in OZ have been scarring there heads about for 40 years.
Why did the yanks miss The wonderful Angels.
Well they did miss the fact that NASA somehow got through the Van Alan Belt that would have melted a spaceship 🚀 in a second.

Miss ya Doc
Probably their best track, full, of energy. Terrific!

Early Doc , Bon, and Christina A. unbeatable.

1980 at ucla with the plimsouls....awesome night...then again I was 18!
I came to Australia in 1977. And i thought the Angels were bigger than AC/DC.
locally in the suburbs The Angels were massive and the biggest until AC/DC did Back In Black.... most Rocktober concerts at the time featured The Angels.

To shit, unfortunately 😩
You have to wonder about the Brewster, Rick or John, i cant remember, who, you would have to think, sacrifices their own enjoyment by sanding perfectly still night after night. Hats off.
it was Rick but he didn't stand in the one position all night.... occasionally he would change stance and then resume standing still.... took a lot to do it too with all that sound. what a pro and a legend.
“Snort a lonng line, snort a lonnng line, breath it in!”
Imagine ABC had this now instead of their rage.
Imagine if Australia had music like this again.
When the band was big and famous around Australia
Großartig
Face to Face one of the greatest debut’s
their self - titled debut preceded it by a year, "The Angels" !977
The Angels were powerful but the Moles were vicious.
Shock of the Old.
So fucking great
0:54 Voice!!!! 😘😘😘😘 miss you Doc

😂 13 yr old me had a Angels Tshirt too. Still kinda annoyed my parents gave my LiveLine double LP to good will along with all old records 25 years ago...
Tall, smart, Gentleman.
Angel city
Absolutely loved that. Now did Doc or Chrissie Amphlett share notes on stage presence?
never seen Doc in a schoolgirl uniform.... but Bon Scott did so maybe Chrissie got it off Bon?
Love that. After Bon Scott in his uniform smiling away... I can never un-see that as a kid.
Quinns Post hotel NZ...a long time ago
No shoee tonight
Smells like AC/DC spirits 😂
2021 QR Code = Big Brother. Doc was a prophet.
This is real music!, not like the shit today. Now you need to take stuff to almost kill you to put up with it.
Took a few long lines .
Crow Crow flies 777. George Michael. Jim Papadopoulos....6. December 2019
*Long line ..real dem in*
What’s that taped to the Gibson SG?
Probably a small camera facing up the fretboard.
He sings clearly, but not as clearly as it could be.
