Suzy SnowFlake Wuz There :She's here now tho___/

[RockNRollOutlaw01]

brilliant, I love this song!

[1965mritter]

This song brings back fun memories while in high school.

[Natty0cat]

We opened for these guys in Fresno Ca. Aurora walked in during their practice at the Starpalace and they were fooling around. We thought we could keep up with them. We did our set, despite them limiting the lights and monitors they had. They came out and blew us away. Fortunately after the show we got to meet with them backstage. They were really kewl Aussies, gave us autographs and sharerd their beer. What a learning experience- that was back in 1980. J. Flores

[gleegirloz]

@Natty0cat Now the band has split in 2 and they are fighting with each other.Doc and one guitarist in one band and the Brewster brothers and drummer in another....ahhhhhhhh showbiz!:)

[CRZ38L]

Awesome! Are you able to post the rest of this program? Cheers

[LanceThruster]

So much goddam fun!

[myduck26]

[ADDturtlebear]

[losbeastias]

Ol´ doc rocks...

[001simsy]

No doubt one of the best bands ever from Australia. Saw them live in 1984 and 2009. Fantastic.

[glebe3047]

100% my all time fav Aussie band. Seen them some 40 times. The first time NYE 79-80 at the sydney opera house.

[docneesen]

best fuckin australian band of all time.If only the world knew what they missed out on .

[malibumut]

@docneesen Oh my goodness YES... just waiting for them to pop up in the JJJ hottest 100 albums of all time... Surely they must be in there...Come on!!! :-)

[docneesen]

the angels best fuckin australian band ever if only the world knew

[SuperGraceslick]

STYLIN!



[SuperGraceslick]

STYLIN!

more versatile than ACDC!

[fabtrick]

They should have been huge in America. People didn't know what they were missing. I've loved these guys for 31 years - OZ's best kept secret.

[amber1rayylynn]

Can I order this cd?

[pezlips788]

amazing band they still rock, just great.

[MetallicBill]

I don't Speak the French, but this track used to get pretty good airplay in MN USA! Still kicks plenty of ass

[CedarsEagles10]

@abbb350 if you think that their tone is original the your dead wrong. Look at early AC/DC exact same tone. As for Doc yea he interacts but so does a majority of frontmen from this era

[chopchopdoggydog]

@CedarsEagles10, abbb350 usto be my old account, and mate you are dead wrong acdc and the angles sounded nothing alike ever clean your ears out and it is my own opinion what i wrote on here awhile ago and if you dont like my opinion then you can pissoff buddy

[ROOKTABULA]

When was this? Doc looks a little earlier than when Face To Face came out but it's def not in the last 12 years....

[piethien41]

what a fucking blast  , beautiful

[sheilakoala]

..... love Doc. He's georgeous

[guitarsehole]

@sheilakoala I heard he was booted out of his local pub for beating up his woman...from a very good friend who also drinks there.

[abbb350]

i absolutely worship the guitar combination of the brewster brothers they both have a tone all of their own none on this planet sounds like em, i would say they are the kings of palm muting coz what they are known for , and doc i like how he interacts with the crowd not many frontmen do that

[weightonboy]

tacomadome! I saw the same concert - brilliant - lead guitarist is class - they rock

[Tacomadome24]

Saw them in Vancouver B.C. "82-"83 was one of my best concert experiences ever!

[rodwill13]

l was 8 years of age when l first heard the Angels on Countdown.That sound hit me BIG TIME.The Angels are one of the greatest Australian Bands Ever.l bumped into John Brewster at the Club Hotel in Bairnsdale 2004.He was so nice and down to Earth.The Brewster Brothers-LEGENDS.

[nannifyable]

Cold Chisel - yeah , ACDC - yeah, Angels - Fuck Yeah!! DOC ROCKS and RULES.

[fuckingfroggie]

Great R&R band.... long live aussie.... from an old froggie fan...

[sloppierbeaver]

[jethroq22]

This song rocks.. used to compare them to ACDC, ....but listening to this song again, I think they are better

[mrgb46]

I bought their 1st album when it came out,then it got scratched,so I had to get rid of it.Came across the cd at Hasting's about a month ago and it was only $3.99..Still love it like it was the first time.Are they still touring??

[Kimenvy]

LONG LIVE THE ANGELS.Angus Young and malcom might have some awesome riffs .But tell ya those Brewster boys  are something else too..Thanks for the upload ;)Loves it

[74soxy]

I just love the Angels always have always will!!!!

[shearn666]

one of the truly great rock riffs

[apaulo59]

Here's an almost 6 min. version of this classic rocker. Enjoy!

[glebe3047]

I agree with some comments here. The Angels are my all time fave band. I have seen them about 40 times. The first time was at The Sydney Opera house NYE 79-80. Their music is so full of amazing childhood memories. My all time guitar riff is from 5.49 till the end love love it

[abbb350]

rick himself was a classicly trained pianist when he was a kid then learnt guitar and is posibly in the top 3 aussie axemen here in aus, and john when he left the angles for a while he was part of the party boys, then bob spencer took over on rythm, i would like to jam with john and rick someday i actually have a similer guitar style to john i have always been a fan of the angles

[Bridgebain]

Fantabulous!!! Epic song, Epic performance. Thanks for posting. Brings back a lot of 8-track memories. Yes I'm old.

[musicfanyes]

I love The Angels and Angel City records, but I can't help think that I would have loved to hear Bon Scott sing this one too! This is like a better AC/DC song than many of their own!

[abbb350]

the mad irishman rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeanfromOz]

The most unassuming lead guitarist on the planet..........with tone, feel and melody. With a hint of arrogance......What a talent... If only i new his name!

[abbb350]

@DeanfromOz rick brewster,and on rythm is his younger bro john

[DeanfromOz]

@abbb350 cheers bud thanx, loved this band for a long time, but know little about them.

[catchsight]

damn this rocks!!!!

tnanx for post!

[richisdevine]

@ marclowe.....what have you done for the aussie music scene...?? Big fat zero i bet..at least doc can still rock and always will..where you my friend will just always be a judgemental cocksucker

[DeanfromOz]

How I miss the days at the Bankstown Sports club and the Banky RSL.....watching these guys.........Music at its very best.......especially with a few JD"S under the belt.

[MrJMontrose]

Saw them support Bowie at Sydney Showground and saw them headline at a stack of venues across Sydney. What a band.

[mickg053]

snap out of it ok

[TheDish65]

Just brilliant... Top Aussie Band

[cookamidgera]

This was at ABC studios Australia....before all y=the shit with Doc...Can't you tell?

[Kittielips]

My Geography is shocking!

Thanks to Anita for sharing........

5*****.

Jennie.

[vidiot9]

Doc's had a TON of neck problems & surgeries - go easy mate! Love the clip, thanks for posting!!!

[marclowe]

Used to be a big fan of the Angels growing up in Oz.

Wow - hasn't Doc Neeson has become a bleary -eyed fat f**ker though?

Looks like he's a paid up member of the 'Elvis - I love Burgers and french fries for breakfast, lunch and dinner' club.

Good songs but go on a diet dude.. You're starting to look like Jabba the Hut...

[pymats]

saw these guys a year ago today, they are still a great gig!

[AstariaDestiny]

5 stars great share PK

[pkpool]

5 StArS...fucking awesome..also their greatest hits is out now.

[TheSmilebrian]

Great band!!!!!

[christominator]

que du bon!

[jonezee78]

Does anyone have the actual french lyrics AND the translation Doc speaks in the break (for the studio version or this or any version)??

[AdamSandaver]

Classic...

[Priestking1000]

Got arrested in Marseille...and sang this while sitting in the tank...drove les flics out of their tree...

[4JayeP]

Kick ass rocker of a song!

[EverElizabeth]

yes they ROCK thanks Gary !!! an awesome share !!!!

[anitashelby]

Fantastic Performance!!! The Angels Rock! 55555*s Thanks Gary & chon....Anita..

[wha65]

Agree % It's a great song and band.

The Angels were well known for their great rythym and powerfull guitar riffs.

In this song you can clearly hear the " knick knicks, " as the Brewster Brothers descibed the riff.

[Termite58]

I been Rockin' to this fine rockin' band for years....was playing a tune rom them today driving my 65 GTO

[anitashelby]

Really C..surprisingly I only heard of them just this year!..

[abacus1963]

Awesome band! But I am curious folks. Does anyone out there speak French? I would love to know what the Doc is saying in French! I never did know what he was saying.

[bigmaxy07]

Translation: "Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. Would you all like to come for a walk tonight with me? ooh ahh x 20.. Ah very good you are all my friends. I adore you..."

Much the same as way back at the Narrara gig. It hasn't changed much.

[j03133]

I saw Angel City in '80 at a small bar in Madison, WI. Best concert I've seen. I always have wondered if the guitar player really had red LEDs in his sunglasses or was I to stoned. Total energy Ausie Rock!

[elrond1963]

Awesome band. Saw them in San Francisco in the late 70's. Great concert!! Please come to the USA!!!

[pymats]

i went and saw them also in february, they were brilliant, firs saw them at schoool in '75 when they were the keystone angels, took my 14 year old lad and he loved it, seeing them again in 5 weeks at the gov here in adelaide.........cant wait!

[DGWpg]

Freakish venue, great song. I don't think the final solo had has much punch as the studio version...I'll have to listen again.

[sahabzadi]

Brilliant . Nothing can match the Angels at their best and they were for this Studio 22 set !

[rockwilllive4ever]

this is a brilliant piece of aussie rock cant beat it, beautiful solo, brillinat rhythem just awseome

[anitashelby]

WOW!!! This is Absolutely Fantastic!!! Loved It! Thanks Anita

[cefalaaa]

hey the me and my dad went and saw the angels a couple of months back when they were doing i think it was their national tour. we saw them in inferno in traralgon (country vic). dad went off!

[angelcitynut]

Back in the early 80s we used to play this song and the crowds thoght we wrote it.We were like No its Angel City and they would say Who?The Angels were big in the US for about 2 months.terrible shame

[wha65]

Great to hear the band has some loyal fans, in the States like your good self.

Check out the show they did at La Trobe University here in OZ on You Tube. They were absolutely brilliant on this night.

1. Angels No Exit live 1979

2. Angels Straight Jacket live 1979

3. Angels Be With You live 1979

Their best years were from 1978 to 1985.

This gig and Narara 1983 were their best.

I have never heard a rock band as tight as them live ever. As musicians they make ACDC look second rate.

[sherbetgirl]

You're right, buddy. They did make ACDC look second rate and God only knows why they haven't received the success that ACDC have. One of life's mysteries.

[kilowna]

Lots of bands we know for some reason didn't do it, being from Canada and hearing these guys 30 years ago as Angel City blew me away. Rock on!

[wha65]

Was it recorded in OZ or the States???

[lozza67]

In Australia.

[caiofons]

I love the last guitar solo of this song.. Seems to be very beautiful and very hard to do it so..

[lozza67]

This footage was taken from a televised show called "Studio 22". The band played 6 or 7 songs. Probably the last time Doc was at his best.

[dadloot]

Wish half the bands showed this much energy when they take the stage. OUTSTANDING Song OUTSTANDING Band. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[ratmq]

Merci for the post dude!.....LOVE THIS BAND>>>>They were big with my crowd in Canada for a couple years then disappeared.........Much to my disappointment.........Cheers

[wha65]

Where was this recorded??? Good to see Rick soldier on with a broken string!!!

[gern83]

Right Fuckin' on! Thanks so much CHONGeYe!

[TheVoid2008]

I love this song. Does anyone know what the chords are to this?

[fungulotualatuarazza]

the verse is A the chorus D , G and than E

[nalcbotany]

I was at a live Angels concert in Sydney in the early 90's when at the end of the concert the band Cheap Trick came onstage and performed its a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll with the Angels. It was awesome. Does anyone know about this or were they at the same concert. I have more on this event

Also does any one have footage of this. They actually made a video out of this concert but for some reason the cheap trick duet was not in the video.

[zoutte]

what year was this made i know the song was recorded in

'76

[nwjh1957]

According to the end of the video, it was (c) 1999, so I presume it was recorded then.

Great that they are back together and performing again. I remember their early days in the 70s: energy, power!

[finalfantasy4everock]

TY for posting this, these guys rock, and hardly anyone I know heard of them!!! I used ot listen to them ALL THE TIME!!

Ahh..the memories of the 90's! :)

[rowdywanker]

Thanks to Tricky I'm a fan. But when the hell was this?

[TrickyTolles64]
