The Angels – Live at Narara & Beyond Salvation Live [2007, 2 DVD]


The Angels were one of Australia’s greatest ever live rock bands. Their legendary concert from Narara on Australia Day in 1983 has never been on DVD. This special edition 2 DVD set features the band in full flight performing all their biggest hits, and features 5.1 sound and a newly recorded audio commentary by Doc Neeson.

Disc two is Beyond Salvation Live, recorded live on the band’s Beyond Salvation Tour in 1990. Live at Narara was Australia’s highest selling music video release for many years, and the DVD release is sure to be a hit.
After emerging from the 1970’s Adelaide pub scene The Angels gained national recognition for their brand of hard driving rock, catchy riffs, and their over the top manic front man Doc Neeson. Through various line up changes and personal difficulties The Angels remain today legends of Australian music and deserve their place alongside compatriots such as Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, and others. Two of The Angels live performances previously available on VHS, Live at Narara from the famous Narara music festival of 1983 and Beyond Salvation from the 1990 Beyond Salvation tour, have now been brought together and released in this two disc DVD pack.
It’s a pity that we can’t get better transfers from these recordings because The Angels deserve it. Video quality ranges from good to poor however the performances are excellent and the audio adequate. Assuming that this is the best you can get I’d advise all Angels fans and lovers of Australian classic rock to check it out.
