starzfanzcentral.yuku.com/ Join Angel fans - click on this link! This is a montage of vintage Angel video. I only 'know' one of the tapers but want to thank whoever made the effort in the 70's. ANGEL: Punky Meadows, Frank Dimino, Barry Brandt, Greg Guffria, Felix Robinson. Thanks to Richard Galbraith, Mark Stewart and Geoff Smith for the still photographs and Rob Schoorl for his video. Also to Ace Steele and Brian Balrich for helping out.
NOTES: Have been told the first part of the video (the long shots) were filmed at the Nassau Coliseum in New York. Possibly March 2, 1979. I did take a small liberty with organizing the flim. The initial scene of the Angel logo on a screen was moved from the start of the third piece of film, which starts around 5:25 with a 'red' scene. IF anyone has any additional info on this footage, please contact me via KZfaq. Thanks!
INTERVIEW WITH FRANK ROBINSON
From the FanZine "Bad Publicity" circa 1995
QUESTION: The question that won't die - what about live video?
ANSWER: "If there's any credible live performance video it would be interesting to see and it's be fun to have. We were pre-MTV so anything we did on camera was either shot on film or poorly filmed on video (because video was in its infancy). The quality of those tapes is just archaic - the film stuff was much better. It's something you're just going to have to think about because you're not going to find any lost treasure of live performances of Angel with or without me that is gonna be what you're looking for.
It's been part of the mystique of the band. If you had tons of live stuff would there be such a desire to have it? No, you'd already have it. And how good would it be? Well, it would be what it was. Part of the band's mystique was that it was visually so striking and so stylistically coordinated both musically and image - but there's no saved images of the best parts of that. it's all kind of in people's memory and in the story that's told about the band. It creates the mystique that is heavily accepted."
