The Angels - 'Take A Long Line' Classic Countdown

[@saldada6928]

i dont want to face the days in 2025 without listening to a lil Angel City!!

[@gormjohannessen2643]

Saw this band at a 2 dollar catch a rising star concert in Seattle in the early eighties. Not kidding, it was the loudest concert I've ever been to, I couldn't hear for two days. And I've seen: AC/DC, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Saxon and more. To this day it may have been the best concert I've ever been to. Doc put on one of the best live performances I've ever seen. He jump off speakers, walked on the arms of the chairs over the crowd, challenged audience members to slap boxing matches, and hopped around the stage on both feet throughout the show. Will never forget that night.

[@tyso69us]

The Angles and Rose tattoo are the best live performances i have ever seen...throw the Models in there also

[@SPOOKSTR]

I agree, the loudest band I ever heard. Parramatta Leagues mid 80's.

[@fionaottley4976]

I have seen the Angels live many times, they were my favourite band growing up. Still have all their albums and can sing all the lyrics. Interesting that they played Seattle, at a Pearl Jam gig I went to a few years ago Mike McCready was wearing a Face to Face tee-shirt. Perhaps he was at the same gig?

[@Gratefulman1965]

I saw Motörhead in the early 80’s and as for loud, well I’m 57 now and my ears are still messed from that show. Thanks Lemmy….It’s worth it! Love the angels ( Angel city) never got to see them live though. I grew up in Salem Oregon so I remember the Catch a rising star shows. KGON FM DJ’s Country cousin Dicky sheets and the The Big B.A. ( Bob Anchetta) use to plug those shows all the time back in the day!🎶

i saw them for the first time in 1977 At Richies Night Club 1977

[@davemcclung3579]

Saw them at the Old Waldorf In SF in the early 80's... Doc ended up walking, singing, dancing on he table my buddy and I were at, manic, loud, wild, bullet shots of nose candy... one of the greatest nights of my life!!

Thanks for something many in OZ have been scarring there heads about for 40 years. Why did the yanks miss The wonderful Angels. Well they did miss the fact that NASA somehow got through the Van Alan Belt that would have melted a spaceship 🚀 in a second.

[@aidanmargarson8910]

also in oz, but what the us thinks of you has little meaning

[@Gratefulman1965]

I do not know how many folks remember “Angel city”in the USA. I was a fourteen year old kid in 1979 when “Face to face “ debut and I was hooked from that point forward. Very saddened when “Doc” died in 2014. My all time favorite tracks though are “I can’t shake it” from “Face to face”and “Devils gate” from the “Darkroom” album. Love the Angels!

[@rogerwoodfill5917]

I'm from Los Angeles, Ca and enjoyed Angel City tremendously. Got to rock out with them in small Hollywood clubs, they were/are brilliant.

You have to wonder about the Brewster, Rick or John, i cant remember, who, you would have to think, sacrifices their own enjoyment by sanding perfectly still night after night. Hats off.

[@AVportau]

it was Rick but he didn't stand in the one position all night.... occasionally he would change stance and then resume standing still.... took a lot to do it too with all that sound. what a pro and a legend.
