    I added 'No Secrets' a few months back to my playlist, I get it every few days and love it more than I ever did. His voice was something else all together, that the entire music industry got behind him to help him to me shows he's a quality man, now legend.

        yep, saw them live at Thebby Theatre in Adelaide in their prime, I was front and Centre and hd the "pleasure" of Doc crowd surfing on my head.

        One of the best shows I ever saw.

        Underground is my fave Angels song.

        RIP

          I saw the Angels at Fesival Hall back when I was still in high school at one of those 3XY Rocktober shows.

          I cant split Shadow Boxer and Take a Long Line as my faves.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            What a fantastic showman the old Doc was. I loved going to their gigs as a teenager in the early '80's. In fact the first live show I ever went to was as a 12 year old with the Angels; Divinyls and Dee Minor and the Dischords.

            Favourite songs I Don't Want to Face the Day; Wasted Sleepless Nights; After the Rain; No Secrets.

            A legend that will be sorely missed. RIP Doc - you made me love rock 'n' roll.
