Rockapella and Billy Joel, 1990.
Rockapella would later perform with him at the charity benefit Concert for Walden Woods the following year (with a slightly different lineup).

My extremely unprofessional, bodged-together attempt at enhancing a Rockapella: In Concert poster from about 1998. After seeing it in the Folgers ‘Rockin’ Morning’ commercial, I wondered if a .jpg of this was available anywhere online, but my searches turned up nothing. Then last week, I happened upon it, on an archived GeoCities website from 2001... in glorious 218 by 300 pixels.
This first effort consisted of passing the image through some online AI image upscalers (one of which made the guys’ faces look mildly horrifying; results not included here for your benefit) - that’s why the top third of this picture is blurrier than the rest, which I’ll try to find a way around in my next attempt. I also replaced the shapes, lines and text using Illustrator (fonts are all from the Franklin family, so this was not too much hassle).
Just thought I’d share this as it seems to be quite a rare image online, so... enjoy! I can say with some certainty that this is the most high-resolution version of this poster on the internet, as of my writing this.
Source image also included, in case anybody with more expertise than me (read: almost anybody) wants to try their hand at it. Please click for full-size image (best viewed on a computer)!

The 1993-97 (Carmen Sandiego-era) lineup of Rockapella reunites to sing a darkly comedic parody of the show’s theme song, about drug lord El Chapo. Video by Funny or Die, 2015.
(Bass Barry Carl was not available for filming on the day, but did record his part of the song.)

More from the Rockapella X'mas '96 performance. If some of these seem extra choppy, I swear it's just the manic '90s editing style, and not me. (This same video also features hilarious dissolve and spin transitions without a hint of self-awareness. I love it.)
"Lucky Seven!"

Intro to a Rockapella performance in Japan, Christmas 1996. Yes, the scrolling text in the first image does say 'Rockaperlla'. Similarly charming misspellings are littered throughout. (Sorry, Elliott. But notably, Jeff's last name is spelt correctly here, something English-speaking networks have struggled with).
