Ha, way rad. From drinking Shasta to the blood of Jesus…
Not as corny as the New Order Sunkist commercial at least…

That is surreal. She sipped again, and again, and again.
BTW- were you at the Comiskey Park 1983 show?[/reply]
I was indeed at Comiskey in '83, for about an hour. I arrived, played the short set with the band (no soundcheck) and left with Cate, who was not yet my wife, shortly thereafter. I think we went to a restaurant back on the Northside.
The whole thing was kinda surreal. I couldn’t really hear anything in the monitors, and the house PA just kept echoing back off of the grandstand. I kept an eye on Stevo for cues. I think one of the reasons I was anxious to leave was because I thought we sucked because I couldn’t hear…but I was told by a few people that wasn’t the case.[/reply]
Well,
I remember some of the vocals were too loud and boomy, (which is surprising considering that Comiskey Park was actually designed for new wave concerts) [;)] but I enjoyed it enough to go out and buy your records that week, on the allowance of a 14 year old.
Hey wemp, which former member are you? I’ve been on this forum for a little bit and have yet to ask this
Wow!
Did Al write and perform this jingle in addition to singing?
way cool…thanks.

I’m the pretty one.

He wrote it, played all the instruments, sang it and trained the penguin. He also invented the formula to Shasta Diet Root Beer.

LOL! Anything to pay the bills back then…didn’t he also work on the Diet Black Cherry formula too?

I dunno, that very well might be Jourgensen’s chin when he’s taking a gulp.

LMAO I JUST GOT A CHANCE TO WATCH IT! CLASSIC!
Hey, obsolete,
the holy grail would be the complete Al appearance on the Phil Donahue show, and not that silly little tease on youtube. You got a copy of that somewhere?

The Donahue show clip is actually on youtube. Saw that awhile back and it was “something else”, heh.

Yes he did. But Arista made him do it.

Wow.
At least the hands on the Shasta commercial COULD be Al. The Sunkist band resembles New Order in no way whatsoever.

Actually, that IS New Order. The band footage is from the Touched By The Hand of God video, where they mock a hair metal act. Useless trivia - the video was directed by Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker).

Wow, shows what I know.
At the end of the Shasta commercial they flash the guys complete head in the video for about a frame or two. It isn’t Al, as far as I can tell.
Perhaps he’s shapeshifting. Or drawing on his experience from Strasberg’s School of method acting. I think he went there right after he attended the University of Chicago.

Someone I traded with 20 years ago claimed to have had it, but never produced it. I’d love to see that as well.
