Photo Request
 

Does anyone have any of the promo photos that FM did when Schlitz sponsored the Mirage tour? A friend refuses to believe me that Schlitz was involved. Thanks!

Voila!

I should add these pop up on ebay all time so if you friend tries to tell you this is a fake, just have them check again tomorrrow, they'll probably be twenty new ones. This is easily the most common of the vintage posters.

There's a deeper FM Schlitz involvement than Mirage. My favorite pic ever is in Mick's "coffee table" book- the pic of him and Jeremy, side by side. Mick's got a can of Schlitz held down by his side, apparently trying to hide it from the camera. :woohoo:

That pic is hi.lar.i.ous! :laugh:

I've seen pics of that poster 100 times, but how did I miss Christine in that almost-bigger-than-her-face Schlitz trucker hat? And the cans of beer? And the look on Stevie's face? And John and Lindsey both have their fingers in their mouth.

But oh the horror - I actually remember the ad blitz for all the light beers when they were "new". :distress:

Here's a larger version of that picture. This is from some Mirage bootleg artwork.

Hah! Only Christine can get away with that... that's priceless.

I know! Why do I get the feeling Stevie was not thrilled with the Schlitz thing?!;) I can't say that chiffon and Schlitz are a classic combo. (Or are they?:shrug: )

:laugh:

She'd probably just put it in a champagne flute and say it was Cristal. Maybe that's why one of the later tours was sponsored by wine coolers. (I just looked thru my tour books & can't figure out which one it was... :shrug: )

I know that every time I have too much Schlitz, I put on chiffon and call myself Stevie.
