A true legend of australian rock music. I consider myaelf very lucky to have seen him perform as the real angels on several occasions. The good ones always go early for some reason.
To all members of the Angels. To leave a legacy. To be revered. To be loved. To be remembered. To be enjoyed generation after generation. Congratulations and thank you to all.
What a wonderful tribute to a massive part of my growing up in the 70s and 80s. RIP Doc you absolute legend and thanks for the memories, you will never die to me, no way, get f........... ; )
So many wonderful opportunities to see the Angels in Melbourne in the 80s - saw them at the Barn, the Bowl, The Village Green, the Manhattan, the Somerville, etc. etc....those were the days and Doc ruled the world...
I've lost count of the numbers of times I seen The Angels live, it didn't matter whether it was a pub/club/stadium venue, you just knew it was going to be an awesome night rockin' out to their music!! I still have all their albums...on vinyl of course. What a great frontman he was !!! 🤟🤟👏👏
gee, as an aussie i really love this place sometimes .when we get it right and that wonderfully precious aussie character bursts forth [eg just to have a governor that is so loved and respected and so good at her job they wouldn't let her retire; this is one of the few places that could happen] when it works with the people supporting each other and the thing you measure people by is the content of their character which i believe is personified by the governor maria bashir and the GG who are supporting him and there's no bullshit . they genuinely love him ,now that's leading from the front . thanks doc and the angels .i remember the gig years ago at narrara. what an over the top blast
Never got to see Doc and the Angels in the 70s or 80s but listened to their albums through my brother who was a huge fan, I grew to love them also. Peace to you Doc and your family, your legacy will live on.
I remember back in the 70's The Moonshine Jug and String Band would practise in a house around the corner from me, and then I remember walking home one night and hearing something totally different to that style of music. All of a sudden, they were loud, and wild, and awesome!!
I saw the Angels live in Traralgon back in 1990 with The Screaming Jets as the support group, both were great! Dave Gleeson, the lead singer of The Screaming Jets, is now the lead singer of The Angels.
So happy to have had the opportunity to see this man perform live, mostly through the 1980s. No one comes close to him. Good to see Buzz in this, he was always a true friend to Doc.
Buzz was the main friend to Doc throughout all of the issues with the Band. 200k spent on legal fee's that's where his money went, plus not being able to earn through an important time of his life due to the injury. Buzz knew what the Brewster brothers did, but has to be careful due to the royalties ongoing issue. Cheers Buzz a good bloke.
Two all-time favourite bands of the 70s? The Clash and the Angels....saw the Angels at Brisbane's Lang Park in '78 as the support act to David Bowie....Doc blew them off the stage - to this day one of the best gigs Ive ever been to....
I heard THE Clash like many a punk & post-punk band, were pretentious wankers. My friends saw The Cramps live and they too were wankers. Only The Damned had any real legitimacy.
My biggest regret is that I never went to see The Angels live. Definitely had a TV guide poster up on my bedroom wall at one time 🤣, and bought a few albums, but never went to concerts for some unknown reason...🙄 BIGGEST REGRET I HAVE looking back. Doc lives on through his music, and for that, I am most grateful. RIP ❤
I saw them 3 - 4 times including them opening for Guns'N'Roses in 1988 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. Best home grown Australian band I have ever seen. I've always preferred them to AC/DC.
Saw the Angels in Los Angeles at the Whiskey agogo. Angry Anderson from Rose Tattoo Duff, Slash & Axel from GnR showed up on stage too. Ticket cost $1.06... thanx KNAC radio 😁😎
Shows how important it is to keep lots of space between you and the car in front on the freeway. Nearly been creamed myself on a freeway a couple of times.
Seeing he was REAR ENDED surely it was the truck behind him who should've been keeping enough space? Anyone know if any charges were ever laid against the other driver?
Led zep, pink Floyd. My top 2. So different but I think Floyd wins. Next two.. AC/DC, angels.... bon Scott legend. Massive fan, But doc wins. Rip Bernard. Always be my fave.
Am i ever gonna see your face again was about a girl that Doc knew that died after an acco and ambulance takes her away hence the siren like guitar riff.
The angels will never be what they were, Rip Doc you were a true gentleman, and Graham Bistrup a champion bloke and for the other members money came before health. As to me the only angel now is Doc the rest of the band excluding Graham a true gentleman, can only dream. Call yourselves another name like the pussie foots. RIP DOC now in the good Lords care 🙏🙏🙏
Annie Souter and Cat Swinton, not much more to say. A real disgust for the way Doc was treated comes to mind. The outward Media BS in no way portrays anything like the truth. Actually sickening comes to mind when I think of the things said by those that have said they loved Doc. Just a little too much BS. The great news God is conversing with Doc about many things, real humane things, not much about music though. He was well and truly over the shallow life and the shallow sycophants, or celeb grifters that suck like parasites the life from the Artist. Those that caused Doc such living pain well they will have to explain their actions to God. God Bless you Bernard Patrick Neeson OAM. The man, the legend the Lead Singer, Front Man Voice of the Angels has incredibly loyal fans who deserve the truth to be told. The new book by the Brewsters, self promoting themselves using, 'The Angels' name to sell copies for funds to pay mortgages on land. Owe I think I will keep performing into my seventies for money because I have none. I think I will just keep singing pretending I am 20 and the fans will continue to turn up, there are not enough disabled car parking spots available I am afraid. The Brewsters paid lip service to Doc's illness and death, and their "loveing" son Kieran would get up on stage with them, it would make the great man vomit to see it. That alone, for any REAL Doc Neeson FAN should have told you just how much he knew about his DAD. As Doc admitted it was his greatest failure. Doc was a compassionate loving man, living with pain daily, taking medication with for the most part was addictive. Taking alcohol with that was not the wisest, thing to do, but he was very depressed for much of his last 14 years. Pain and controversy, and betrayal will do that to a person. God Love him!
He says his biggest failure in life was his infidelity and substance abuses. I say, oh well, he was a rock star of the greatest magnitude, touring and temptations all the time. The biggest failure to me was not having 100 offspring.
Yeah such a caring bunch the Brewsters, not only were they performing under the name The Angels, they drafted in Dave Gleeson to take the baggage. They couldn't even wait for his death, had to perform while he was still alive under the banner that so much of the Legal entanglements that kept Doc poverty stricken for most of the last 10 years. Living on a pension etc, no support from anyone, family or others apart from a nameless friend and the enormous hearted Dave Lowy, when estranged from Annie, oh she forgot to mention that, only together near the end. Then the narrative was controlled by publicist to deflect issues that inevitably were going to be asked. How other Aussie Iconic Muso's haven't said anything about the treatment Doc received is disgraceful. I guess they are all so broke, working just to keep the hangers on family members going they have to work. No money in Aus for muso's, no venues for muso's to perform. The council regulations are so crazy, folks don't have an opportunity these days to see live acts. Just hope the truth is revealed, unfortunately it will have to be through the courts. Getting close now.
@@davidnewby3263 yep doing that probably may have caused that brain tumour that’s what I’m worried about now I’m older the speed the bikies used to cook was rocket fuel in the 80’s 😬
I saw him kick a young woman in the face at a concert in Coogie Bay at Selina's nightclub Coogie Bay Hotel around 1990ish. I can never forget what I saw him do that night and I totally lost my love for the band who I'd seen 4 times. They had absolutely no respect for the fans. Great music yes, but Mr Neeson was a terrible person.
A true legend of australian rock music. I consider myaelf very lucky to have seen him perform as the real angels on several occasions. The good ones always go early for some reason.
A beautiful man. A great Australian and legendary band. Hall of famers and God bless Doc rip.
and here I was believing he was Irish
I worked with him in the studio. He was an awful person. He treated his son like a dog.
To all members of the Angels.
To leave a legacy. To be revered. To be loved. To be remembered. To be enjoyed generation after generation. Congratulations and thank you to all.
Well Said ! 🎸😇 😇😇 🎙️😇
One of the greatest live performing bands ..period
An Inspirational Comment ❤❤❤❤❤

They played the pubs and clubs, they dodged beer cans, the floor bounced, the sound was deafening, and the atmosphere was incredible.
RIP Doc.
Howling by the angels is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard every song from start to finish is tidy .
I grew up in newcastle.nsw.first live band I saw .age15...I'm 52 now and I still play em loud and proud
I've lost count of the numbers of times I seen The Angels live, it didn't matter whether it was a pub/club/stadium venue, you just knew it was going to be an awesome night rockin' out to their music!! I still have all their albums...on vinyl of course.
What a great frontman he was !!! 🤟🤟👏👏
A huge thanks to Doc and then Angels for so many great songs, gigs, and good times. We are all going to miss you mate...

Saw the Angels live twice in NZ during the 80's.
Howling & Liveline tours.
Respect from NZ 🇳🇿❤️💯
I saw The Angels at the Ballina RSL in '88. And my life is complete. Thank you, Doc.
I saw the Angels at least 4 times. Every time, they were awesome. He was as good a frontman as anybody.
Doc was the angels. ...R.I.P brutha ...

I saw the Angels live several times, great Aussie rock band who put on incredible live performances, and Doc Neeson what a lead singer (R.I.P).

Thanks for uploading this, I didn't think I would find it. Much appreciated.

Best home grown Australian band I have ever seen. I've always preferred them to AC/DC.
I saw the Angels and ACDC with Bon Scott when both were just pub bands, so good.
When the angels were in Tasmania around 89 went and seen them was a top night and one of the best bands ever 🍺🍺🍺😎
Saw the Angels in Los Angeles at the Whiskey agogo. Angry Anderson from Rose Tattoo Duff, Slash & Axel from GnR showed up on stage too. Ticket cost $1.06... thanx KNAC radio 😁😎
Merci de m’avoir fait connaître ça quand j’avais 14 ans.
They straddled the change in styles from the early 70 s ,that occurred with punk better than most other bands of their era.
Pukkkk. Miss you so much Doc. I think , deep down …I died when you did.. 😎 thank god for Dave Gleeson…
I saw the angles in early 1981 they were the support act for ACDC the back in black tour.
R.I.P. Doc 💙💜
Thank you 🌟
An Australian Legend....
RIP legend
thanks for sharing 😎
Bloody HUGE Aussie Legend .... Sadly missed ....

Pretty popular across the ditch too
and we all remember Red Phoenix as well short lived and well remembered
A very good rascal. All is forgiven. Unlike if you were a rascal today, where you're canceled and stripped off all honours without question.
Led zep, pink Floyd. My top 2. So different but I think Floyd wins. Next two.. AC/DC, angels.... bon Scott legend. Massive fan, But doc wins. Rip Bernard. Always be my fave.
Black Sabbath?
❤Angel's Australianz seriously folks different 😧 àngles 360 degrees

Leo I love you more than I can say

I am still sad. Never got over it!
U are the best Doc.
I would "Lurv" a DVD or two of concerts of the "Angels"--any ideas?

Shame they weren't a band that attributed songwriting credits to the whole band....would have saved so much angst all round
They were quite happy to rip other artists off as well ..status quo cough cough
Did someone say
Doc Neeson
A meaning of
Heroic ¿‽¿
He says his biggest failure in life was his infidelity and substance abuses. I say, oh well, he was a rock star of the greatest magnitude, touring and temptations all the time. The biggest failure to me was not having 100 offspring.
Poor sound quality for a tribute to such an artist.

I'm reading his biography.
Interesting what you say compared to the books narrative
Fuck now I have to reevaluate
Cheers lol
Rip Doc
spot on
WHY DIDN'T HE GET A HUGE PAYOUT FROM THE CAR ACCIDENT SEEING HE WAS A PROVEN MUSICIAN AND HIS EARNING POTENTIAL COULD OF BEEN ENDLESS
Ingenious? Used to piss a lot of fans off.
he was always off his face on speed
100%
I saw a video. Where he had a min not singing. He went behind a speaker and had a line then went off tap.. awsome
@@davidnewby3263 yep doing that probably may have caused that brain tumour that’s what I’m worried about now I’m older the speed the bikies used to cook was rocket fuel in the 80’s 😬
Dont I know it
@@davidnewby3263 lol 😜 was good ol party hard days! Line up on the street directory in the car 😝
Hard to watch
They said that about eriç c×it's not true good God maybe Allah creationz equivalents ❤😅
I saw him kick a young woman in the face at a concert in Coogie Bay at Selina's nightclub Coogie Bay Hotel around 1990ish.
I can never forget what I saw him do that night and I totally lost my love for the band who I'd seen 4 times.
They had absolutely no respect for the fans. Great music yes, but Mr Neeson was a terrible person.
*It's just a fact that without Doc Nesson NO Kylie Minogue*
