"Just about getting the nose up" would be before rotation.
I was sitting on the A-side/left side wing (not behind the wing) and it was angled
That would be normal during acceleration.
and left side for whom? Patient Left or Practitioner Left?
The airplane's left.

A compressor stall is not the same thing as an engine stall in a reciprocating engine. The stall is very brief, just the 'bang', then the engine continues to run. If the circumstances causing the stall continue then you'll have multiples stalls, 'bang...bang...bang...bang...", until the cause is removed.
The #2 engine on the 727 was prone to compressor stalls due to the S-duct through which the incoming air had to pass.
