I remember this commercial.  As I recall, it was from the early 1980's.

Wow! I had completely forgotten abou this spot. Must have been mid 80's?

excellent commercial for a beer that tastes like paint thinner.

@doctorw2 It's gotta be good for something.

[doctorw2]

@cochranexyz oh yeah it makes for a great insect repellent.

@doctorw2 Leon Redbone is Canadian so he should do a Kokanee commercial

Hate Budweiser. Cheapest made beer on the planet. Budweiser drinkers create the most litter too (if your not a litter bug no need to respond-not all bud drinkers are litter bugs- just most of them), but I do LOVE Leon Redredbone.

60-second spots are/were sometimes made (as this one was) so that they could be split up into/cut sown to :30s or :20s...

Until you posted this up, I had never seen the long version. I do know thru some ad agencies that you can buy memberships, most of the older 30 second ads always had a 60 second counterpart on Budweiser. This did not hold true for Bud Light. It's good quality too. STARS: ♦♦♦♦♦

@DarkGalleryFilms I got this in the '90's when I lived in Washington DC. A friend worked for a firm that lobbied for the beer and wine industry. He got a copy of the master on VHS from one of his contacts in Anheiser-Busch marketing department.
