Fact. The song had been on the radio for a while, and fans had bough the album, and us Aussies being what we are, created this audience addition. First live performance of the song, the Angels knew nothing about this, and initially thought the audience thought they crap, and wanted them off the stage. By the end of the song, they realised that nope, the audience LOVE the song, and we just like to add inappropriate but perfectly placed stuff in to favourite songs. We also added to “Living Next Door To Alice”, and created a line dance to “Nutbush City Limits.” It is 100% required to retain your True Blue Aussie card to sing the additions, and do the dance at any opportunity.

The Angels formed in 1976 and the singer "Doc Neeson" died in 2014 at the age of 67. He was the main song writer along with lead guitarist Rick Brewster and his brother John Brewster. They had originally formed in 1970 as an acoustic blues band calling themselves The Moonshine Jug and String Band. In 74 they changed their name to the "Keystone Angels" and in 76 on advice from Harry Vanda and George Young (The Easybeats, and later of Flash in the Pan) shortened their name to The Angels. George Young, one of the greatest musical artists and Producer's in Australian history was the older brother of Angus and Malcom Young of AC/DC.

After a while they embraced it, to the stage where its part of the paraphernalia including on the singlet he's wearing.

It was a slower version, more bluesy, as a tribute to the friends Girlfriend, written by Doc, based the music of Lonely Night from Status Quo, which in reality is just a blues riff. The lead guitar intro came much later, by Rick Brewster.

"No way, get fucked, fuck off" that is what they are saying, The Angels were an Aussie Pub band and the crowd started saying this at one of their gigs and it stuck, you won't hear it in the recording though. Unfortunately Doc Neeson the lead singer of The Angels has passed away. Peter Garrett is the bald guy from Oz who fronted Midnight Oil.

[@Danger_Mouse3619]

Look at that older guy in the crowd halfway through the video with the moe and beard and glasses turned around looking at the crowd shouting "NO WAY GET FUCK OFF" He does look impressed 😂

I think the term pub rock means they can play live, and it rocks.

[@tianthee]

Its from playing in pubs. Thats where most live bands made their way up back in the days. Unfortunately its hard to find somewhere that has decent live bands now days.

​@@tianthee when Big Bands play at a pub 🤩 Mustang Sally is mandatory

It started in a pub in Mt Isa, an inland mining town in the state of Queensland.

[@lonnie224]

Haha Mt Isa is where I saw the angels, opening for Jimmy Barnes at a concert as a teenager back in the 80’s

[@davejensen7922]

Saw them first time at the original Cloudland in Brisbane in 81 what a night The bouncing dance floor copped a workout that night

[@warrenturner397]

Me too

[@TheCpage66]

The Angels are still together ( without Doc, of course) and touring Australia right now. Saw them in Berry, NSW just a couple of weeks ago

[@mick1535]

Hi mate great live band one of my favs in the 70s saw them one Sunday then again monday , 50 miles away

[@alwaysthewtite1]

Y 16th birthday the dj played this and 100 teenagers chanted the reply

[@mutualbeard]

Definitely one of the best live pub bands of their day.

[@person2463]

Have you heard what Aussies did to smokey's 'living next door to Alice'😂

[@lonnie224]

He definitely wouldn’t understand that either 😂😂

[@juliemarsden1858]

Alice who the fuck is Alice 😂

[@timstoker]

Smokie were shite.

[@jayneattherock1083]

Yes, it was a festival, Think it was called 'Under the Southern Cross,' about 20 or so singers/ bands including Jimmy Barnes , Russel Morris, Stevie Wright, Daryl Braithwaite, Shirley - all the great Aussie bands of the day - John Farnham was the last or near last for the night - and was joined on stage by Jimmy Barnes for 'When the War is over'.

[@peterharrison511]

They are very accomplished, man get right into them . They are pub rock legends The best pub rock band EVER

[@Mia_Louiise]

I’m Australian & meet one of the roadies for the Angels a few weeks before they left to tour Canada in 1980. I was travelling to Canada at the same time. Met up with the roadie in Toronto, got free tickets to see the Angels in a little bar & my girl friend & I were the only two people in the club that knew all the words to their songs. BTW they went under the name of Angel City in Canada because there was another band in Canada called The Angels I believe. What a time to live in Australia in the 70’s & 80’s here in OZ ❤

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

Great story! ❤️

[@carolcarol3938]

Saw them live at Frankston High School dance "Big Fish" .... what a blast. This was in Melbourne; my home town.

[@Jabambu]

Bought back some awesome memories. Better times! Loved watching this.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

I've seen them a couple of times and I think the last time was about '85 at the northern beaches (Sydney, Australia). They were FANTASTIC.

[@rw-xf4cb]

Aussie Pub rock genre is where a number of bands cut their teeth - Cold Chisel, Dragon, Icehouse, Australian Crawl.
