About This Movie

So, 'The Angels: This is it Folks...Over the Top' is a concert film capturing a live performance by the Australian rock band The Angels back in '79. The atmosphere is raw, almost electric, with the audience's energy really feeding off the band’s intensity. The pacing shifts between high-octane tracks and some surprisingly tender moments, showcasing their range. You get a sense of the camaraderie on stage, and even though the director's identity is a bit of a mystery, it doesn't take away from the experience. The practical effects, like the lighting and camera work, add a gritty authenticity that's hard to find in today's polished productions. This film is somewhat unique in its documentation of a pivotal moment for the band.

This concert film has seen a bit of a mixed release history, primarily available on DVD but quite scarce in its earlier formats. Collectors often seek out the original releases, as they tend to capture that gritty, live feel that the band was known for. Interest in this film has remained steady among fans of classic rock and those who appreciate the cultural context of Australian music history.
