ANGEL - Helluva Fan (Vintage Video)

http://starzfanzcentral.yuku.com/ Join Angel fans - click on this link! This is a montage of vintage Angel video. I only 'know' one of the tapers but want to thank whoever made the effort in the 70's. ANGEL: Punky Meadows, Frank Dimino, Barry Brandt, Greg Guffria, Felix Robinson. Thanks to Richard Galbraith, Mark Stewart and Geoff Smith for the still photographs and Rob Schoorl for his video. Also to Ace Steele and Brian Balrich for helping out.

NOTES: Have been told the first part of the video (the long shots) were filmed at the Nassau Coliseum in New York. Possibly March 2, 1979. I did take a small liberty with organizing the flim. The initial scene of the Angel logo on a screen was moved from the start of the third piece of film, which starts around 5:25 with a 'red' scene. IF anyone has any additional info on this footage, please contact me via YouTube. Thanks!

INTERVIEW WITH FRANK ROBINSON
From the FanZine "Bad Publicity" circa 1995
QUESTION: The question that won't die - what about live video?

ANSWER: "If there's any credible live performance video it would be interesting to see and it's be fun to have. We were pre-MTV so anything we did on camera was either shot on film or poorly filmed on video (because video was in its infancy). The quality of those tapes is just archaic - the film stuff was much better. It's something you're just going to have to think about because you're not going to find any lost treasure of live performances of Angel with or without me that is gonna be what you're looking for.

It's been part of the mystique of the band. If you had tons of live stuff would there be such a desire to have it? No, you'd already have it. And how good would it be? Well, it would be what it was. Part of the band's mystique was that it was visually so striking and so stylistically coordinated both musically and image - but there's no saved images of the best parts of that. it's all kind of in people's memory and in the story that's told about the band. It creates the mystique that is heavily accepted."

One of my all time Fav bands. I saw them a few times 1978-80 in Phila. I have old 8mm movies that I shot in the basement...but no projector. One of these days....

Hey Snorkel. If you ever find them, I can have them transferred for you and post them on YouTube!!! Let me know! PG

[sacredo07]

Why is there no interview or weird touring and backstage footage of Angel????

[ProperGroupie]

Good question. I know of only two interviews with Starz - one on a local NJ station I think, and one because CBS was doing a story on the high cost of records.

In the book And Party Every Day it says Casablanca planned on doing a concert film/movie called Angel at Midnight (I think thats the right title) in around 77 or so.It was going to have them play a show and have all the crowd dress in white like they were playing in heaven.But they canned the idea at the last minute. So there has got to be some live footage floating around somewhere.Some old reels in a warehouse somewhere?Anyway thanks for putting this up!!!

@jacques0711 Bad time is a great song..I always liked the sinful record all though chics wanted Rod stewart this was good after being tired of ole rod!!..Angel drove the bus when it came to the hard rock image i always thought,''And i swear they got some of it from, "Sweet "..The fucked up thing is people didn't know them,"And angels problem was the nerdy new wave hair cutt fucking early 80's Plus casablanca put there eggs in one basket and went bankrupt even though they knew Van halen before '
