Saw them in '81 at the Agora Ballroom in Tampa. We were so psyched and honored that they took the initiative to tour in our neck of the woods. They did not disappoint. No opening band, just 2 hours of non-stop hard rock and a young, limber Doc Neeson climbing walls and balconies while the Brewster brothers and rhythm section tore it up. I'll never forget it.

[@Mexxx65]

Bands like INXS, Michael Hutchence never wanted to be a frontman, he never even wanted to sing Midnight Oil Cold Chisel Skyhooks Were all sooooo much more poplar bands than The Angels But did an aussie rock band have a better frontman that Doc Neeson. NOPE. Doc was our "Freddie Mercury" I'm sure fans here will back me up.

Start with "the Angels Greatest" and work from there .....

@@veganath I saw ACDC with Bon up front live. Bon was a good singer. Not a great singer. He wasn't theatrical like Doc. ACDC attempted to copy the theatrical look of Skyhooks. But it never worked for them, or for their fans.

[@Deason2565]

I love it! TLDR; This song is a top contender for one of the most exciting and best constructed guitar solos in history! Warning: Crazy insanely detailed attempt to explain this opinion follows. Optional. Can skip. Not recommended. I warned you! There's lot of great musical passages in this song, and the contrast in dynamics between the French interlude and the grand finale is wonderful, but I just want to describe in ridiculous detail what is my favourite guitar solo out of all the incredible ones the Angels recorded. The climb to the high D (here reached at 6:40, but the climb really starts, in a very low gear, after Doc finishes his spoken French, around 5:45) is a sheer masterpiece. The climb kicks into high gear around 6:12 and it's like a rising inexorable tide. The highest note we hear gets higher, then the wave retreats but the next wave gets higher still: at first the highest we hear is the E, then the F#. We keep falling back to the A below but climb again, this time reaching the A above. We fall back to the E that at the start of the passage was the highest we could get on the scale, but after gathering our strength we leap up and leave it behind! The quest to reach that high D we are unconsciously longing to hear is epic. We unconsciously ache for it, the chords all through this have just been alternating A and D. We have rested on the F#, we have rested on the A, we need to reach the D! The genius of the climb to the D is that our approach gets both faster and slower simultaneously as we get closer: the number of notes per bar increases as we ascend the scale more slowly. It creates an exquisite tension! We first hear the C# at 6:28 but then don't get any higher for four whole more bars! But now we don't fall any lower than the high A. We reach that C# again and again and again and again and again and again at the top of the individual phrases, faster and faster and faster! The tension is extreme! We spend more time and more notes each bar on that damn C#. It feels like we have never been anywhere else! (Even more so on the studio version than this rendition) Will we ever reach the D?! Only that D will give us the complete climb we've been aiming at all this time. When we DO finally reach that high D it's an almost orgasmic triumphal release and satisfying relief something like... like... that of watching Doug Walters bring up his Test Match century in a single session with a 6 off the last ball of the day!

[@SteveSmith-cm2lt]

Oh my God! Brings back memories of the cassette I literally destroyed by playing it soooo many times. Got booked by the highway patrol one night back in the late seventies.
