Greg Bissonette, the first drummer to come back from the dead of The David Lee Roth Band only to tempt fate and gig with Spinal Tap. God speed Greg. That takes balls!
Hey, back during the 1997 Monkees reunion Micky Dolenz insisted on wearing a Tap tee shirt and now he's the *only* member of the Monkees left alive! There must be some eldritch secret we don't yet fully understand...
@@kenlieck7756 Maybe I should dig my Spinal Tap T-Shirt out of the basement and wear it for good luck 🍀.

No glove being shoved in her face though 🧤I picked it up when I saw them in 92 at the Universal Amphitheater on tour. Great show!

@@derekgiesbrecht5835 nobody is above the 3 Stooges my dude. They still air episodes from 1938. Still on TV. The prop special effects get more clever everyday. Pure brilliance.

"No one knows who they were . . . or, what they were doing . . . but their legacy remains," is a strong contender for my personal favorite most-underrated-movie-line ever. McKean and Guest are absolute geniuses. Shearer is very smart and musically gifted, also, even if I think he tries a little too hard as he's gotten older.
This same day there was a band that played a set in Antarctica. How perfect would it have been if Spinal Tap played Antarctica for a global warming event. The biggest missed opportunity in rock history
Isn't Mick Fleetwood (2001) still alive? Then again, keyboardist Viv Savage died and it was discovered that he had previously been a drummer so maybe that put them one up on deaths list...
Always reminded me of what it would be like if Jeff Beck,Micheal Schencker and Geezer Butler got together and formed a band,after taking a break or leaving their main bread and butter of course.
I watched this live on TV. Before they started there was a sound problem for real so they were just standing there in an awkward silence for ages and the singer said to the crowd 'Anyone know any good ones?' 😂
At a certain point, the lines were blurred. In a few years, there will probably be a VH1 special on where are they now, but the producer will not be one enough to know their true origin…..
Fun fact. Big Bottom broke the record for longest top ten single in Kazakhstan history! Somewhere around 3 years! There's a rumor the druids left England because the food was so bad and headed for....you guessed it....Kazakhstan! Hmmm......
After seeing Spinal Tap live I was never the same. The Spirit of Stonehenge now dwells within me.
I know not who I am or what I'm doin'.
i sort of have a grasp on what i'm doing on a daily basis
"Rock and roll should change your life and not necessarily for the better"
one of the top lines... 'we didn't know who they were or what they were doing".. well done~

"HELLOOOO WIMBLEDON!"
Maybe those are just 90,000 homeless people who live on the grass there.
There's probably some 15 year old kid standing out in that crowd asking themselves..."who the phuck is this??" (lol..long live Spinal Tap!)
The crowd looks completely confused during "Big Buttom". lol
And his dad and mom are telling him, “Don’t worry, we’ll show you the documentary when we get home.”
I'm 15 I love spinal tap
Literally me but I was 17
"Fake" band that is far greater than most "real" bands.
Brian J Dawson that is a good comment and unfortunately it is true
It is not a fake band. It is a "Fictional" band. The main members can all really play their instruments. And they can all sing.
@@karmicselling4252 - I like that description better. In addition to singing and playing their own instruments, they also write their own music. They are also the fictional folk music group, 'The Folksmen'.
No a real band although fictitious and 3 comedians that can honestly shred.
They should make albums of music

🤣
You know shit just got serious when a guy's holding a mandolin next to another guy holding a bass with 5 pickups.
annette o toole, michael mckean's wife is one of the backup vocals. Truly legendary band.
Tiny isBoss the other female is Annettes daughter, Mikes stepdaughter.
No way i didn't realise that was her. She'll always be Lana Lang to me
The mom from Smallville?!
I was today years old when I recognized her on vocals. Too cool.
"Eventually everyone does Madonna"
*chef's kiss* Brilliant.
These dudes deserve way more credit than they get. Too much. So much Three Stooges, etc. etc just brilliant.
I think they're above the Three Stooges, more like the natural descendants of the Marx Brothers

I am extremely happy to have found this video of MCA and Spinal Tap. My life is blessed for having seen this.
Adam Yauch!!! OMG! So awesome to see him here ❤️❤️❤️ RIP we miss you so much.
That final bass lineup has to set some kind of record...

"What would they say to us.. if we were here today?"
@@Dan200 You made me laugh. Spinal Tap seems like it’s on another plane of existence.
Greg Bissonette on drums is absolutely nailing everything.They have really rehearsed their parts.
The prince of pound
RIP GB
Wow, they're really a great band!
I know. They rock for real.
One comment about "Big Bottom": They need more bassists.
agreed. where's pino palladino? bootsy collins? flea? nate mendal?
thevoid99 Nate Mendel is there, he's the first guest bassist McKean mentions
That's funny....
at least 11, it is a magic number!
I played a gig once where I was one of the 7 bass players for Big Bottom. Lots of fun being on stage for that.
All Those Years Later And They Still Couldn't Get The Stonehenge Monument Right! XD
R.C Jones feet = inches.
😂
I love that they consistently have new problems with the prop.
Wouldn’t have it any other way!
They should be enshrined in the rock and roll hall of fame
yep just for the comedy alone and making marshalls go to 11
I always live by the keyboard players line in the film, 'Have a good time - all of the time.'
Says it all.
This is leading us directly to the 11th commandment: "It's got to be louder than that!"
Yep, when the Commandments go to eleven...lol
On bass drums, Skippy Scuffleton . . . pray for him! LMAO x)
One of the best Brit bands ever.
What gets me is that they're so up for a laugh after all these years. Ok, I'm sure they're paid well but their good nature shines through.
19 people didn't like this? Wake up and smell the glove!
Right on brother 👊
That's alot of pickups on Derek's bass XD
Imagine having never heard of Spinal tap and seeing this for the first time!
This same day there was a band that played a set in Antarctica. How perfect would it have been if Spinal Tap played Antarctica for a global warming event. The biggest missed opportunity in rock history
Derek Smalls: the best bass player of all time & the coolest name
Derek rocking bass multiple pickups
its beyond genius....no words to describe this level of satisfaction.
I can't believe after 50 yrs Spinal Tap finally see their dreams comes alive
It's a highlight, if not the peak, of most bands' career to play Wimbledon!
"Eventually everyone does Madonna".....brilliant!
Greatest metal moment ever!
Hilarious : Stonehenge was built 3000 years before the Druids. Wonderful how they get everything wrong 😀
Also, the stones on the set were not the same size as those in Stonehenge
“When it has the lintel on top, it’s very scary and impressive! We salute you, our half-built monument!”
Never knew I needed this many bass players until now
James Hatfield and Kirk Hammet on bass,priceless
The intro lyrics are probably the most dumb lyrics I ever heard, just great!
I admit to a certain disappointment when I realised the Stonehenge momument was acutally bigger than 18 inches.
Me too. This looks like a sturdy monument, no chance it could get trampled by a dwarf.
By 2025 it'll be normal-sized.
chuck, you cant sing your way out of this condition
Drummer survived...
People must have prayed for him.
For now.
We don't know, at what number, Spinal Tap is already
That's their 76th drummer.
That must have been their 34th drummer. Now their touring with their 42nd drummer.
Where’s the puppet show? I thought they were headlining
RIP Adam Yauch. Fuck bizarre gardening accidents!
That rocks!! It`s really the majesty of rock!! Great!
These guys are Warmer than Hell
Michael H Matheny Except Derek Smalls he's like lukewarm water.
I can't believe people didn't cheer for this song... the entire crowd went WILD on their one night world tour :P
Just to note that it was a two-night tour. They also played Glastonbury.
"Mr Robert Trujillo ACTUALLY on the bass!" :D
the part where the top of stone henge flys in.
That bass guitar... I guess that's the über-Humbucker, isn't it?
Saw them Break Like The Wind. i can still smell the best show from a band that never existed. 11.
Long live Spinal Tap!
Gregg Bissonette, the only Spinal Tap drummer who survived.
It helped that he didn't go gardening.
Isn't Mick Fleetwood (2001) still alive? Then again, keyboardist Viv Savage died and it was discovered that he had previously been a drummer so maybe that put them one up on deaths list...
I just realized. This band is king of a Rock N Roll version of "Monte Python"
No, that's the Rutles. Tap is a rock version of US comedy legends the Credibility Gap.
They're really not.
Oh shit, that's Greg Bisonette on drums. What a fucking loss!
Drummer is Gregg Bissonette!!!
Oh man, just search youtube for Christopher Guest (as Nigel) playing onstage with Les Paul... it's fantastic.
I'll bet the majority of the audience will have been thing "WTF is this?!?" :p
For a parody its good rock!
Always reminded me of what it would be like if Jeff Beck,Micheal Schencker and Geezer Butler got together and formed a band,after taking a break or leaving their main bread and butter of course.
666 likes. Awesome, I'm gonna comment instead.
Martha kent as a back up singer :-)
All audience scratching their head and butt. But they were fortunate to see bands like never before
12:15 -- Guy pumping both arms in the air - the one Millennial who's seen the movie.
Listening to this turned up to 11
The most legitimate illegitimate band of all time - Spinal Tap. They're always fun to watch, and the music is actually pretty good.
One word. Brilliant :-)
@13:21 Rob Trujillo selling it like he's blasting through a verse of Battery or something, lmao 🤣
Oh, I just watched documentary about this band!
Whatever you do, don’t exhale! We’ve had quite enough of that!
The drummer is actually quite good.
The drummer was good...
That drummer is wearing very little safety gear. You'd think he'd be more careful.
A joke band that now (or then, rather) fills Wembley Stadium...and elsewhere. Priceless satire and comedy!
For the first few minutes, I was worried that the little guys weren't going to come and dance.
Bissonet made them sound like a band beyond their ability. Exciting¡!!!!
Too bad they couldn't get Bill Wyman on bass for "Big Bottom"....
DEAR GODS OF HEAVEN AND HELL: Thanks for Spinal Tap !!!!
I watched this live on TV. Before they started there was a sound problem for real so they were just standing there in an awkward silence for ages and the singer said to the crowd 'Anyone know any good ones?' 😂
That was at the Freddy Mercury Tribute. Someone had cut the power to the guitar amp as a joke.
These go to eleven.
Every Bassist in the world,,, awe
some
the stonehedge prop is always the best part
< < < Our silly rock band loves The TAP!
< < They're so silly, love it!
At a certain point, the lines were blurred. In a few years, there will probably be a VH1 special on where are they now, but the producer will not be one enough to know their true origin…..
Hello Wimbledon!!!! LOL
That it's so fucking Hard Rock! awesome band
Cliff would've loved being on stage with the Tap
I gotta have more cowbell, wait wrong guys.
St. Hubbins, " I gotta have more bass guitars !!! "
The ST legend lives!
Fun fact. Big Bottom broke the record for longest top ten single in Kazakhstan history! Somewhere around 3 years! There's a rumor the druids left England because the food was so bad and headed for....you guessed it....Kazakhstan! Hmmm......
"Eventually everyone does Madonna!"
Ironically the Druids were living in harmony with the earth and universe and trying to save the planet 😂
"Eventually, everyone goes Madonna."
What were the druids doing anyway?
No-one knows. But their legacy remains...
The version of big bottom was absolutely badass 🤟🤟🤟🤟
After all these years they still dont know who the druids were and what they were doing...
The important thing is that their legacy remains 😂
How many bass guitars do we need for bog bottoms ?
Yes
Long live SPINAL TAP!!!
The two little guys dancing are both David St. Hubbins’s love children
SPINAL TAP the best in music. Lets eat KarachiBiryani and be Happy. KarachiBiryani is the key to UnityHappiness. Indy500 the Best
Hey that´s Greg Bissonette slammin´ away!!
Mr. Paul Allen independent lol. He's actually on stage for Big Bottom.
