-------------------------------------------------

The Original Shockjock You Tube channel was created as a tribute (and for historical accuracy and context) to the originator of the so-called "shock" jocks, Steve Dahl. While he was never shocking just to be shocking (just to be funny!) it is his brutally honest, free-form style of comedy talk radio which created an entire genre, which is today taken for granted but was previously unheard of in radio before Steve.

Our attempt is to examine and chronicle Steve's more than 30 years on the air in Chicago, looking at the time-line and the many interesting aspects of Mr. Dahl's career in comedy talk radio and beyond.

All audio is property of the respective owners (in most cases Steve Dahl himself) and is here purely for the educational and historical purposes of demonstrating Mr. Dahl's pioneering effect on comedy talk radio and popular culture, to show that he truly is the original of the 'shockjock' era.

Check out DAHL.COM for more Steve Dahl comedy. (Please note that I will not be posting anything that is available for sale via Dahl.com. and there is plenty of great material there so make sure to check it out, including new daily podcasts 5 days a week! I may also be removing audio if it becomes available for purchase, and of course at the request of any copyright owners if necessary.)

Find more classic audio, videos, and Steve Dahl related products in the store at Dahl.com:

For ease of listening here on the You Tube channel click on 'playlists' for multiple video posts. All the audio and video should be within a playlist now (unless I missed one which is completely possible!)

I welcome all comments and suggestions here or on the videos.

Thanks for checking in!

About Me:
 
Describe Your Comedy:

Steve Dahl is the original of the "shock jocks" and the innovator of what has been labeled the "shock radio" genre. Long before many others (that will happily take the credit) Steve was the first to hang with porn stars and freaks, talk about his small genitalia, argue with his wife on the phone, have in-studio spankings (any of this sounding familiar?), talk openly about sex and drugs, the first "show about making a show" on radio, and so much more that is today taken for granted, but 30 years ago it was a completely new and different kind of radio. There were no Howard Stern, Don Imus or Opie &Anthony type shows, at least not in the free-form style that Steve Dahl was already doing from 1978-80, (and really starting in Detroit in 76-77). Imus and Stern were both around but fairly tame compared to "The Shockness Monster" Steve Dahl. Steve Dahl is truly the pioneer of taking-it-to-the-edge comedy radio, he started a new style that is still often imitated to this day.

The biggest difference between Steve and some of the others mentioned is that Steve has changed and grown as opposed to being stuck with the same radio gimmicks that many of his later imitators are still stuck on! He has never stopped being funny, edgy, or at times completely over the top, but he has continually re-invented himself while still being a unique personality and blazing a distinct comedy radio trail like no other.

Hello TheOriginalShockJock, how are you today? nice channel
TheOriginalShockJock (6 months ago)
It was the ending song into, originally Ed Tyll, and then Chet Coppack, and perhaps even others that I'm not recalled right now as the station changed more than a few times (originally it was Kevin Matthews at night right after he came from St. Louis to Chicago).
Also, the Satriani songs are available on the albums "Surfing With The Alien" and "Flying In A Blue Dream" but not posted here in full because I didn't want to have copyright issues.
Thanks for the comments, and everyone go to Dahl.com and check out the new subscription podcast! It will be the ultimate dream of every Steve Dahl fan, unedited and completely uncontrolled (by anyone other than Steve, maybe Janet!) Steve Dahl comedy. Go to the website for all the details, should be a blast!
