Thanks for this. We saw Spinal Tap at The Warfield in San Francisco. They played everything; did the Guitar Solo, Nigel hitting the strings with ping pong balls while the other two were shown on monitors leaving, getting a facial and having dinner to return to the stage at the end, Stonehenge, etc....our faces hurt from laughing so much.
you are so lucky and im so jealous. im not sure how much, if any was scripted, but jeebus, how quick witted are they,,and to stay in caractar ,amazing. too much perspective !
They stayed in character but when David St. Hubbins told Nigel that meeting him was his no. 1 moment in Rock 'n' Roll, Christopher Guest had to laugh sincerely. I love that moment. 🥰 21:21
How am I just finding out about this now?! Right around this time that this aired, I was in high school and my friends and I were OBSESSED with Spinal Tap. We even dressed up as the members for Halloween and nobody knew who we were but that was ok in our book. I would've loved to have seen this back in the day!
Wow - Derek Smalls! AKA Harry Shearer. I saw his wife perform a very small but very wonderful event in rural Illinois - USA. She was very funny - as much as Derek - but she had her own too. She's from Wales.
Of course King "Tut" belongs on this list. Dude had the 14th biggest hit of 1978. Also rumored to have had an incestuous relationship and dude changed his name. Dropped Nigel off the front. Total rock star move(s), if you ask Jerry Lee Lewis. Tut channeled into Steve Martin and dropped his own name into the lyrics way before any hip hop artists or rapster thought to do it. Dude's a pop culture icon. Yeah,thats it.
Freak accident. Drumstick bounced off his snare and shot straight thru his eyeball socket. Man, it was so hot, it sizzled for just a sec! Now there's a 40 odd year old band called "Mac". Mick Fleetwood's a God! Smiles
@@MRTHEOZONER This account of Mick's demise is probably correct. Of course, there's a conspiracy theory that suggests that he didn't actually die on this occasion, but retrieved the drumstick from his eyeball socket and ate it. He continued with the soundcheck, only needing one drumstick throughout the Tap's version of 'The Chain'. Then he left for a Vindaloo curry or two and was finally seen off by a Led Zeppelin falling from the sky.
He had a drug overdose but came back from the dead. Being inspired by this awakening experience, he wrote the lyrics to their hit song, "Kickstart My Shaft".
Mick Fleetwood, the one Spinal Tap drummer who lived to tell the tale.
Mick Fleetwood's British accent is very convincing.
It's his yank accent that is good. He is from England...
Even more impressive his impersonation of an aging rockstar…considering he,s only 22
instead of dying, Mick kills the drums on Hell Hole.
✨⚡️🥁✨⚡️🤘
Happy 100th anniversary to the Greatest Moment in Rock and Roll History
Who would have ever thought the Survivor joke would be understood 21 years later.
These guys are like plutonium!! You put enough of them together and they GO NUCLEAR.
Mick Fleetwood looks like he could spontaneously combust any minute.
or have a bad gardening accident
Given Fleetwood's history with drink and drugs I think he's more likely to choke on someone else's vomit.

@@grahamlaidlaw7164 I wish we had a video of that show.
These guys are one louder than everyone else.
11.
New amps now go to Infiniti!
This single event has restored my faith in popular music.
I'm just glad that Mick made it to the end of the gig while still among the living!
How did Mick Fleetwood do this and hold it together so well? This was hilarious!

You probably would,ve find out earlier if you wouldn,t have been high in school
The bald patch on the back of Dereks head is the icing on the cake
I never really noticed how good the song Hell Hole really is.

Spinal Mac
Fun Factoid: Mick Fleetwood is the tallest drummer in rock n roll history.
Danny from tool is the same height maybe taller. Internet says they bith are 6'5
Norm had his own show ??? Bloody hell !!!!
The best episode ever. KING TUT'S TOMB!!
... is this King Tut thing related to Steve Martin's novelty hit from the 1970ies? He also was with SNL at some point.. ;-)
spinal tap the best
"They're not saying 'boo,' they're saying 'Nigel!'" I can't stop laughing.
I LOVE David StHubbins. Great footware too!
Derek is on fire here. This is comedy gold! Even had Mick cracking up.
Edit: but David and Nigel had some great zingers too 🤣
What did Derek say when he compared something to a plate of curry?
And now let's hear it for ... 'FLEETWOOD TAP'
Holy **** this is so funny. comedic genius
Christopher, Michael and Harry: "We're actually playing with Mick Fleetwood!!!!"
Mick Fleetwood: “I’m actually playing with Spinal Tap!!!!”
I thought that was John Goodman for a second
Yep, me too.
Nah, that’s Jason Sudekis’ uncle
When the host asked Nigel if he liked the hours, he ought to have answered "yes, yes I did... especially the eleventh hour."
back when VH1 actually played music videos and not TV reruns
Derek's near-death experience was an unexpected revelation.
Thank you for putting this out. Would like to know where+when this was aired. Can you help?
all that praise of the electric sitar earlier, and Nigel didn’t even play the electric sitar on listen to the flower people.
Nicest drummer wee ever had
Nigel should teach world history.
TRES Cool
Mick is a great addition lol
Would have been funny if "Dereck" whipped out a phone and called the number to ask "Nigel" a question.
38:26
Nigel needs that many pick-ups to drive his amps to 11.
Lmao great catch😂
He recently found that 11 wasn't loud enough, and is now working with Marshall to develop an amp that goes to infinity.
@@RockyDave LOL!
11/11
There was more money raised from donations after this performance than all of Live Aid and Jerry Lewis telethons put together.
"It goes to 11, it's on at 11"

Mick exploded following a chicken vindaloo after the show.
30:14 For a few seconds, it looks like Nigel Tufnell has sprouted horns.
Norm!
HOW can i leave this behind??
Thomas Swan invented the incandescent filament, not Edison.
When and how did Mick Fleetwood die?

@@MRTHEOZONER but was actually someone else's drumstick
On stage at The Brits with Sam Fox.
Is that king Tut?
Too funny
I know Mick Fleetwoods done some acting in the past so , I was kind of hoping he would be a little funny.
they still got drummer problems bless.
Shades of the Small Faces and Talking Heads in Hell Hole.
Did the "drummers curse" working with spinal tap kill Mick Fleetwood?
I really thought they were gonna blow Mick Fleetwood up... that would've been hilarious
Derek's wig even has a bald spot...? LOL
"It's like calling" WHAT? "a plate of curry"?
is George working on his English accent?
this band explains johnny depp
Who is the drummer playing with Spinal Tap?
legendary Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood
@@BrianSherman-TheTVGod That was a joke Brian.
22:23~22:32 no way is the Panama Canal the best Canal.
The best Canal by lightyears is the
