Related Items Available from eBayProduct DescriptionThe Return of Spinal Tap is based around Tap's performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 1992. In between the footage of Messrs. St. Hubbins, Tufnel, and Smalls performing in front of a huge crowd enthusiastically determined to go along with the joke, there are clips purporting to investigate the band's humble origins in the East London suburb of Squatney, and updates from "rockumentary" director Marty DiBergi and hapless record plugger Artie Fufkin from the original movie. It is the latter component that is the real strength of Return. Though the concert footage faithfully rehashes many of the film's most treasured jokes (the malfunctioning props, the dancing midgets), the real satirical strength of This Is Spinal Tap was never its treatment of heavy metal music (which, after all, is hardly a difficult target). What the first movie did best was illuminate the egomania, paranoia, delusion, and stupidity that are the cornerstones of rock & roll as it is lived. The Return of Spinal Tap is a worthy companion piece. --Andrew Mueller Average Rating: 3.5 Product ReviewsRating:  The 2nd Coming...This concert is stellar!!! The sound is a bit rough (oh well,it's LIVE!!!)It's got some funny bits in there. A whole lotta great rockin. It's been a staple for me since it came out. Don't bother reading anymore b.s. reviews, get it and love it!!! Rating:  poor qualitythis is a poor excuse of a dvd. this is in mono. poor production value. if you have all the spinal tap cds this is one for your library. to really see the talent of spinal tap i suggest you buy unwigged and unplugged. that is an excellent dvd. Rating: Bad bootleg copyFirst of all, this is NOT an official release. As another reviewer stated, it is a bootleg pirated DVD made by somebody on a home computer.
Rating: good servicereceived the movie quickly, was a gift for my boyfriend and he's happy with it. Rating:  The Majesty of Rock!Despite the sometimes-spotty sound mix (thus only four stars), this is, of course, essential for the Spinal Tap completist. I saw a show on this tour; it was a glorious rock moment, and this is a fine memento. |
