Sometimes it does seem like a dream...

Especially when you get a chance to play Marseille with Doc Neeson  ::)

Oh bugger.  The photo posting isn't working...when it is, I'll post the photo  >:(

Yeah thats one of my all time fav Angels songs . How about putting that on the song list for CD6 and bring Doc.

OK Ajay, looks like we can post pics again, so where's the photo of you and Doc?

And did I hear right? The Angels are reforming and gonna tour again? I was just watching them on the Countdown Spectacular 2 DVD and they really got the crowd on its feet. Be bloody fantastic to see them on stage again!

i remember watching Doc Neeson and the Angels at this 4 day rock festival at Gosford back in the early eighties, think it was called Narara, we drove down from Qld and camped with the other 40 0r 50 thousand people and it was a huge blast, it bit like a Aussie Woodstock with so many bands from playing but the best were the Angels.

YES - I heard the same thing too Graeme  8)
The angels without Doc have toured a few times and have even played the local pub in Atherton  :o :o
They were awesome and did very well to cover Docs vocals without him.  Really funny to see them now - all old blokes, but they still ROCK.  Can't wait to see them all togther again.
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

OK, here it is.  Apparently there is a video coming too.  :o



I'm still smiling.  8)

Doc has turned up to our local jam about four times now, last time he brought his band and played 6 Angels songs, all the classics.  Bloody great.

The only problem we had was that we were next up on stage...talk about a daunting prospect. ::)

Yes the guys in the Angels have finally buried the hatchet and  the complete original Angels lineup is touring very shortly, and I'm sure it will go right off!

Those shoes are all part of my finely tuned Mid Life Crisis... a throwback to my former BMX days. ;)

The guitar is a new 2008 Fender USA Tele and yes you're right, it's a ripper. 8)

Well, it's a coupla years later and last December I got the chance to go see the Angels here in Canberra. I was pretty happy to see they did a good job - there was always the worry that they'd be a bit welll... old and flat. But they weren't and it was a great evening. Closed my eyes and I coulda been 21 in Brisbane again. Sigh...

Mid life crises!!!!!! don't know what that is, I'll be 64 at the end of the year, still ride most weekends, last year I did a 7 day high country ride, the shortest day was around 180km & the longest was 220km had a ball, I ended up riding better on the last day then the first day, the ride ended back at Healesville, when we got to mt Dom Dom we had a choice to go back by road or by tracks, with a smile on my face I said tracks for me, some of the younger riders went back by road ??? anyway after reading some posts here & taking of mid life crises & only 50 years old, my advice is don't think about it just do it, I look forward to every weekend so I can go riding.

By the way I was riding a G450X.

I'm experiencing one right now, Sat 31/7 will be my first competitive ride for 28 years.
I'll tell you if it was worth it on the 2/8.
