The Angels - The Wireless Show (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

After the lockdown put a stop to full-blown shows with the typical shoulder to shoulder mosh pit, The Angels emerged following a new set of rules and restrictions. They presented a different, more intimate show – The Wireless Show. Filmed live at The Bridgeway Hotel in South Australia on 18th Dec 2020 this is a two set performance. It lacks none of the band’s usual punch, it was a powerful experience for fans. Band and audience spaced but rocking on regardless. They went deep inside their classic catalogue, showcasing all the hits but also adding some songs they rarely play live. Dave and Nick each grab a guitar for a couple of tunes, Rick adds a keyboard to the mix, John and Nick each sing a song. This DVD presents one track after another that just jump right out of the speakers with a relentless eagerness. It’s got a genuine “being there” feel that just begs to be played again and again.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
