This is one of those ads that would have been played prior to a movie(maybe some 80's gem like Labyrinth or Beetlejuice) at the cinema too, for its sheer widescreen picture and musical spectacle. All this for a gas station brand.

The bit after.23 looks like it was shot in the diner which was (is ?) inside an old airplane. Nothing fake about SRV. And is that the mural near Il Casino restaurant (now closed) in Tory St Wellington at 1.12 ? Wow.

Love it how you see SRV with a guitar, rockin' the roof off, in just about every shot.

It was taken from an old VHS tape that I had. Never saw him live, dammit. Cheers.

I always remember seeing the ad in NZ(and digging it!) but because it was so long, it seemed to be only scheduled in late night time slots. One weekend in 1988 I taped a CocoCola music special featuring David Bowie's Glass Spider concert. A wee while ago I watched the video again as I had bought the DVD and wanted to discard the video but thought I would check it out before I did so. There, amongst the crappy Whitney Houston Coke ads, I re-discovered this gem. So glad you like it - RIP Stevie.
