A buddy of mine got arrested and thrown out for getting up onstage and bowing to Nigel when he did his guitar solo. My favorite part, though, was watching Steve Morse play an acoustic bass with them when they did "Big Bottom" to close the show.

Granted, that would be an expensive joke, but I find it to be hilarious. |

I saw them on this tour, our room was probably near full, probably 95% musicians. A friend of mine had Michael McKean sign his ticket stub as "David St. Hubbins". Funny show, but not as effective as the movie, becuase everything was staged, and much of the comedy of Spinal Tap is due to its being improvized.
If you like Spinal Tap, search for the brilliant homage "Fear Of A Black Hat". It's a rap version of Spinal Tap. |

Endorsing: Ampeg | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Apopka, FL | | | By the time the Tap tour got to Orlando, they had dropped the idea of the Folksmen opening. They did a couple shows early on where the Folksmen got booed off the stage.
BTW, I was wrong about them closing with "Big Bottom." They actually came back after that and played that hidden track off "Break Like The Wind" about dying. Nothing like ending on a high note.

There is a video in youtube about their new song "Hotter than Hell". They will be the headliner of Live Earth show in 07.07.07 (does it sound similar to the gig Iron Maiden did on 09.09.99? ) for Global Warming. There will be some opening acts like RHCP and some closing acts
In the "hotter than hell", Small is playing a six string, a Tobias if I'm not wrong... I'd rather expect him to play a 20 string (first bass player to play a 20 string tuned in fourths), and of course playing only the E and A string..
If only I could be there in UK....
