The Angels - We've Got To Get Out Of This Place (Official Video)

[@PeterCampbell-k4b]

One of the best covers ever. The Animals were fabulous with their rendition. The Angels gave it a whole new spin. Excellent.

Walk out of Kmart with a loaded rifle on my shoulder, no one gave it a second glance. We were one people, one culture. We were Australian.

R.I.P. Bernard Patrick "Doc" Neeson OAM (4 January 1947 - 4 June 2014) was an Australian singer-songwriter and musician. You gave me some joy in this joyless city.

Born in Belfast mate, Northern Irish.

[@Dystopian_NZ]

Saw them at the Reagent Theatre, Palmerston North, New Zealand about 1984 I think (I'm 58 now, memories not as good as it used to be). Fiona and I plus another. Man, was it LOUD but an awesome show. Doc was sitting in a chair as he'd recently broken his leg

[@damianbowyer6258]

One Of The Gr8est Covers EVER Done.

[@rodneyspragg2986]

This is a great version of the animals. That was our theme song in Vietnam

[@coffermartin77]

I liked the fact that the Angels adopted Sydney as their go to place, be it recording some of their albums, being prominent in their videoclips or prolific touring around all of it's iconic venues. The Angels should be immortalised in the music national hall of fame.

[@PeterCampbell-k4b]

The greatest remake ever. The Animals, Great. This version, Take a song and re-generate it, without destroying the original.

[@VeganFlatEarth]

Blinded by the Light (Manfred Mann's Earth Band) is pretty much unchallenged as the greatest cover of all time. Bryan Ferry's cover of A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall is probably the next best. This one is up there, though.

[@rolfschaefer7201]

😆🤟 Aussie rock .when I was a kid dad vibrated us to sleep with 16,000 watts of Bose speakers and alpine amplifiers 🤟🤟it would crack our loungeroom windows at ¼ volume

[@MKA63]

Awesome! Back in those days I played keyboards (still do) and our band won the Griffith Battle of the Bands. We played on the back of a semi trailer in the middle of the Griffith race course to a crowd of around 4000. The PA was doubled up (meaning 2 PA systems) to about 20,000 watts (the speaker stack was higher than the semi trailer). When the bass player hit a note, it rocked the semi! 😃

[@stevefirth725]

Know it! Not the same power but we had Bose 901 with Marrantz 1152 DC amp. There is loud and then there is proper hifi loud from the 70’s / 80’s. Good enough to shut the neighbours up.

[@lightningfun6486]

The Angels are so underrated

[@mickc6370]

They absolutely carved this up at every gig . Every place was rockin .

[@davidr4332]

To this day i can't see how the Angels never when to the top is beyond me ..

[@mysticallyme]

Respect. They didn't sell their souls.

[@LittleRedDrum]

This song is my saving grace at the moment being stuck over a closed border in Australia. Can't wait to get over the border and go home! Cause we gotta get outta this place!!

[@MrPizza063]

so fitting in a roundhouse kinda way ..are you over east or west lol

[@thecapedgremlin0001]

This is the best baritone version of this song...!?

[@murraycatto1]

Saw these guys live many times. Don't know why the rest of the world didn't make them a super band. Love this version and I hope Eric Burdon and the Animals approve. One of very few songs covered by a band that is at least as good as the original from the best band in Australasia bar none. Thats hard to say for a Kiwi.

[@Bribie12]

As an official Pommie old fart, I used to go to the Newcastle on Tyne Club a Go-Go ( "the Gogg") when I was 18 back then when the Animals were a local group. Personally, now as an Aussie I really prefer the Angels' version.

[@brandonmartin5667]

STYLE AND GRACE WITH PINPOINT PRECISION

[@petershinnick344]

The Angels were the sound and spirit of the 70s Australian music scene. They rocked their way around every pub where I lived in Western Sydney.

[@richardgreaney]

The energy these guys injected into this song is just amazing. I absolutely love the feel in the verse.

[@WesHowell-n3s]

1988 and stuck in a remote Western Australian gold mining town called Telfer. This was the towns unofficial anthem and it got smashed out every night at the pub. Dont know how many mornings, after a big night, that I’d swear I’m off the piss, but after working eleven hours in blistering heat, the only thing you looked forward to was an ice cold Emu Export.

[@FroggyNight]

I love discovering groups I’ve never heard of. I officially love The Angels. They did such a good job covering this, I had to double check who did the original just to be sure. The Animals are great but this is something else. Love it!

[@darriusjeddburgh6316]

So good. So Aussie. So many memories. Back in the day when I was slim had hair, and none of was grey.

The Angels. Best Aussie band Ever

[@charlesheath2062]

When it comes to music and Australia, most people think about AC/DC and Men at Work, and one of my buddies who owns a record store turned me on to Screamin' Jets. But to me, The Angels, or Angel City as they were called in the States, belong on the same pedestal, or even higher. When on I'm road trips, I wear out the three CDs I have of The Angels, but until today I had never seen or heard this cover, and it just blew me away.

[@jimmytheblaze]

I was a singer in pub bands for a number of years. I get teenagers asking me about it cos they want to be in a band. I tell them -- you wanna be a kick arse band with a kick arse singer? -- go listen to the Angels with Doc Neeson.

[@terrencewalsh5923]

not many people can sing as good as eric and not many can do a great job like this superb band from oz

[@roadkillofficialaustralia]

Such a great cover and The ANGELS nail it! \m/

[@Peteonenil]

Oh Doc! RIP dude, we'll see your face again!

[@thenightangel6533]

This song is still played to this day. Awesome hit! Reminds me of finishing work.

[@peterscully4961]

Reminds me of a town in WA where a girl invited me back to her caravan, and, well you know? About two weeks later on the news her ex killed her and the guy she was with... To this day I think girls like her were interested in out of town guys like me just 'cos they wanted to get out of the town.

[@NapoleanThePug]

Greatest frontman most fans of rock music have never heard, much less seen live. Such a shame. R.I.P. Doc. No one could touch you then, and no one has since.

[@shubbz87]

[@ch64621]

An old song which talks about hard life today in Vanuatu, where the majority of the working population are earning the minimum wage of $2.20 an hour. Thank God for Australia opening up the seasonal workers program for us so we can travel to Australia and work for some decent money to improve our lives. So yes we gotta get out of Vanuatu if it's the last thing we ever do.

Such great times every time they came to Newcastle. Went everywhere to see them . At Cessnock, Maitland. everywhere they played. So many times at the Newcastle Workers Club. All changed now. Fantastic band. Doc made the band.

[@TheRingDragon52]

You are right Gav1959, there is no comparison between these two songs. I like both versions. When the Animals released their version in July 65 it peaked at number two in the English charts and stayed in the charts for twelve weeks. I have no chart information for the Angels, however I think is probably one of the best remakes of all time. The Angels have put their own stamp on a classic rock song. It is very hard for a good band to wreck a good song by another good band.
