Fellow Angel fanatics, I need your help. Some years ago I copied the Angel historical concert dates mentioned from the now defuncted official Angel website. It was far from complete but a nice starting point to continue. I managed to add some 35 dates (incl. reunion dates) to the list but due to the lack of information I wasn't able to expand it more. There's gotta be way, way more. So any help is welcome. If you have a ticket stub, tour pass, newspaper clipping or attended a concert yourself which isn't on the list, please share it with us.
When new info is available I will update the list. Thanks in advance and let's get this going !

Great Post buddy!

This touring schedule of course raises some eyebrowes with all its gaps, so we need all you old Earthforce members to help us out. Here's a few questions for you about Angel's touring schedule:

* Helluva band tour - when did it start? We know for sure that the Santa Monica recording is from that tour, but does anyone know when that tour really started....I suppose it did after the album came out prob. between feb - may of 76 but which month was that?

* On Earth tour - we now know the Angel at Midnight shoot took place at Public Hall in Cleveland, but when was that?

* White Hot tour - opening with 3 nights at the Kiel opera house....that seems a bit too much...maybe they were just rehearsing there with the 3rd night being the actual show. On the other hand, the schedule says the Godz played there too...anyone?

* 78/79 tour. We called it pre-Sinful/Bad Publicity as Frank is already introducing songs from the new album 'Bad Publicity'. It raises the question: was BP supposed to come out before that tour? In other words: was BP/Sinful already recorded after their tour with the Godz? With the schedule we have now it seems there was enough time to do so with only handful of dates in the summer/fall of 78. Is this were the rift between the band and Casablanca started? Did Casablanca hold back the album?

* Sinful tour - Did this ever happen? I read the Sinful album came out in spring 79. The gaps in the 78/79 winter tour don't seem to be long enough to record a full album there, though I know that the basic tracks for the b-side were already recorded at Santa Monica (around june 27 1978 - the day they had a gig there - probably), which makes it more plausible that the album was in the can before the 78/79 tour). And if there was no tour....there's a 1 year gap between the last date in 79 and the first date in 80.....what did they do? The record Plant sessions where the 6/7 tracks including 'you're so cold' were recorded were done after the R&R Marathon tour I believe....but of course I could be wrong.

Hope some of you know than we do.........more questions (and topics) to come!

5/10/2003 - The Coach House - San Juan Capistrano , CA The support act was "Fifi LaRue".

And there was a gig a few days later @ Peanuts/Club 7869/Club Vodka in Hollywood, CA. I don't remember who the support act was.

Joe X. Dube's 1977 Tour Diary!

[-]

(08/18/08 4:26 PM)

I checked out Dube's Tour diary from 1977 and found the following

(SEE ABOVE)

March 25, 1977 (Friday) - Chicago, Aragon Ballroom - Angel, Starz, Runaways, Piper (Angel HL)
March 26, 1977 (Saturday) - Louisville, KY - New Convention Center - Starz, Angel, Piper
March 27, 1977 (Sunday) - Indianapolis, IN - Indiana Theater - Angel, Starz, Piper (Angel HL)

On another page is noted:

March 30, 1977 - Akron, OH - Civic Theater - Starz, Angel (and an instore appearance at the Record Theater)

And on Saturday, April 16, 1977, Dube has written "See Piper, Angel - PAL . . . Toby Beau - TRAX". I assume that he meant in concert and it looks like he was in NY/NJ at the time but I don't know. Maybe "PAL" means the Palladium? **** Oh yes, I see you already have the Palladium date on the 16th. ****

Hope this helps . . ~ PG

A couple of corrections...

I found my ticket stubs from the 3 times I have seen Angel. I always printed the opening acts name on the back of the ticket, along with the name of the person I went with.

On March 27th 1979 in Milwaukee: TKO opened for Angel, not the Godz.
On June 7th 1980 in East Troy: Mothers Finest was the opening band, not Missouri.
On May 17th 2001 in Milwaukee: The opening act was Bad Boy.

Yes, there are dates missing here, including the mythical Cleveland Ohio filming of the "Angel At Midnight" in early, mid 1977?... & i know that Rush opened for Angel on some shows in the early days.....Many Tanxx for posting this...I had forgotten....

I also believe that on some of the 78 dates a three band bill existed featuring Angel, The Godz AND Judas Priest.

I think I can add a date...March 23rd 1978 they were, according to some documents I have, in Rockford, Illinois.

I believe they were also in Birmingham, Alabama in early April 1978 (though that could be the Huntsville show). I believe they also played in Columbus, Atlanta and Biloxi during that month.

The May 7th 1978 gig was with The Godz opening. This was the infamous show in which Angel engaged with a fight with the venue security and were then escorted to their dressing room by The Godz afterwards in case of further trouble.

Wow, thanks a lot for your contributions! We expanded the list by 10 shows already and made some corrections!

Excellent work!
All additions and corrections are modified in the list above.

Bytheway did anyone noticed the 1995 show?? I have a nice article about this reunion show including a band photo....interesting stuff. Barnephiliac has a scan and will post it very soon after he's finished his Angel audio study....

Thanks again for the new information. Looking foward on expanding the list again, there's gotta be wayyy more.

On the rock and roll marathon tour. April 1st in St. Louis Missouri, Called the, "April Fool's Day Jam" Angle headlined. Was one of only two places I believe that they did. I think the other was in California. Last time I saw the original line up.

Tower Theater dates :3/17/78 add Hawkwind to the bill. & 3/9/79 pretty sure it was Sad cafe that opened the show.

What is now confirmed is that Angel never headlined a major Arena tour; Only sporadic dates {White Hot}..... Mostly theatres ....They really were on the cusp of a major breakout!!

Tiny fix . . . on the April 20, 2002 tour - the club JAXX is in the state of Virginia and the abbreviation for that is VA. VI is Virgin Islands. I don't think this is huge but it's worth getting it right. I know what you mean about headlining. In Dube's (Starz) tour diary, when they DID headline, he always followed Starz with an exclamation point! I did put a post on the live video that we were looking for more dates. I don't think this will happen in a week but hopefully Angel fans will find us and help out! ~PG

I was so excited when I found out that my 3 favorite band's were going to be in concert together , it was the early70's bands were ROBIN TROWER,UFO AND OF COURSE ANGEL!!!!! The show was in Charleston West Va. at the Civic Center ,think it was 1976. Charleston is almost70 miles from where we live And our older brother was the only one old enough 2drive us to the show, I won 8 tickets off the raido station!!!That was not easy to do ! I could not believe MY THREE FAVORITE BASS PLAYERS IN ONE CONCERT,MY SISTER'S 3FAVORITE GUITARIST IN ONE SHOW!!! My brother who is also a guitarist gladly agreed to take to the show ROBIN TROWER was his Idol (He is also a Angel fan ) .The day of the show my sister and I put on our best Metal clothes and waited for our brother to take us too the show. HE WENT TO PICK UP HIS FRIENDS TOOK ALL OF OUR TICKET'S AND LEFT US AT HOME!!!!TO THIS VERY DAY WE WILL NEVER EVER FORGIVE HIM FOR THAT !!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE UFO!ROBIN TROWER! AND ANGEL ONE SHOW I WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET TO SEE MICKIE JONES PLAY BASS IN CONCERT AGAIN,PETE WAY OR (JAMES DEWER R.I.P) .

ANGEL IN OHIO

(08/21/08 3:52 AM)

I Do not know of ANGEL ever playing any concert dates in Columbus Ohio,my sister and I would have made it to that show for sure!
If this is of any help to anyone how ever we did finally make it to see ANGEL In concert in HUNTINGTON WEST VA. at the HUNTINGTON CIVIC CENTER. I Think I was the WHITE HOT TOUR. I know a COLUMBUS OHIO BAND CALLED THE GODZ
OPENED UP THE SHOW. I remember it was one of the greatest shows we have ever seen. They may deny it but Greg could not get out of his box. They never stopped moving around on stage ,I could not take any good photos of them, and they never made eye contact with the audience,We were in the very front row standing against the stage I may be wrong but it seemed like they could not wait to get the hell out of there. They still have a large following of fans here in the Tri -State area of WestVa.Ohio andKY. I hope they do not forget to add HUNTINGTON WEST VA,CIVIC CENTER TO THEIR NEXT TOUR DATES. a lot of people come from Columbus Oh.ClevelandOh.,Lexington Ky. to Concerts attened here.

On the 3/10 and 3/11/ 78 dates it was definitely Angel (HL) with Judas Priest and the Godz with the Godz being the opening act. The 4/21/02 show was at a club called "HammerJacks"

Saw them twice at Ag Hall in Allentown PA in th 70's. I don't remember the years but, both times I'm pretty sure Judas Priest opened for them. One year the Godz were there and another the opening band was, of all groups, The Jam. I recall vividly them, meaning 'The Jam', being unceremoniously booed off the stage. Big surprise! What rocket scientist landed that gig for 'em?!! Anyway, both 70's shows had Felix on bass. I don't recall a show with Max Webster and I missed the '76, or was it '77 show with Rush featuring Mickie on bass........shit! Saw Frank and Barry again in 2002 at Crocodile Rock in Allentown, a recent date missing from your calendar. Fantastic show even without keyboards.... although some pre-recorded keys were used( i.e. The Fortune).Steve and Randy served as very capable replacements and Frank's voice was great. Barry, well we know he kicked ass, but to see and here him play from a few feet away was truly an awesome experience! My favorite drummer, bar none! Interesting footnote: On the day of this show I still hadn't bought tickets, when I heard on the radio that anyone who mentioned Angel's name at the door would get in free. Even so, there still were less than 100 people there. Thanks people of A-town, we know they'll never come back here again! And, by the way I too, am an ass for cheesing my way in to see my all-time favorite band, FOC! Forgive me.

The only dates The Jam opened up for other bands in arenas in the US were in March and April 1978, where Blue Oyster Cult headlined (The Jam were at the time operating in the US under a co-management deal with the Cult's management) and with Be Bop Deluxe in April 1978. Angel were playing their own headline shows elsewhere during this period.

It's long been admitted by The Jam that the decision to open for Blue Oyster Cult in 20,000 capacity arenas was an unmitigated disaster.

Eric - good to see the Lehigh Valley representing here !!! I grew up there (Bath, PA) but I was 7 when Angel was at their peak of popularity in 1978. My friends used to look at me me like I was from Mars when I would talk about Angel, Starz, Legs Diamond etc..... even though those bands were better than the popular bands of the day like Crue, Ratt, etc
