Spinal Tap unplugged: three comedy legends roast their own masterpieces with acoustic guitars and zero mercy.
Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer perform songs from their films and other projects before a live audience in a concert that took place at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 31, 2009.
Writing
Lyrical deep cuts from A Mighty Wind and forgotten gems you'd never expect live.
Acting
Three decades of chemistry—Guest's deadpan, McKean's showmanship, Shearer's barely contained rage.
Director
Jim Gabour
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 2009 tour was the first time the trio performed these songs live in character and as themselves, blurring the line between satire and sincere musicianship that defines their entire careers.
CJ Vanston, their keyboardist here, actually played on the original Spinal Tap soundtrack and has been Guest's musical collaborator for decades—he's essentially the invisible fourth member.
