The legendary Spinal Tap stopped at New York's famed Carnegie Hall on June 4, 2001, on their Back From the Dead tour. The boys played all the classics--"Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You", "Sex Farm", "Stonehenge", and the old classic "(Listen To) What the Flower People Say." They were even joined by Elvis Costello and Paul Shaffer for a few tunes. Elvis sang "Gimme Some Money." I sat next to Christopher Guest's wife, Jamie Lee Curtis, for the majority of the show. |

Never in the history of mankind have two legends of rock guitar joined forces quite like this. <----- This is David St. Hubbins. This is Nigel Tufnel. -----> This is Spinal Tap. |

At the end of the Spinal Tap set, bassist Derek Smalls announced "Now that we've come to the end, it's time for the bottom," The bigger the cushion/The sweeter the pushin'/That's what I said The looser the waistband/The deeper the quicksand/Or so I have read My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo/I like to sink her with my pink torpedo Big bottom/Big bottom/Talk about bum cakes/My girl's got 'em/Big
bottom, drive me out of my mind I saw her on Monday/'Twas my lucky bun day/You know what I mean/ My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights/Big game is waiting there inside her tights Big bottom/Big bottom/Talk about mudflaps/My gal's got 'em/Big bottom,
drive me out of my mind My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo/I like to sink her with my pink torpedo Big bottom/Big bottom/Talk about bum cakes/My girl's got 'em/Big
bottom, drive me out of my mind |
On a scale of 1-10, the Spinal Tap show at "Carnegie Fuckin' Hall!" was an 11.
