Review
A hilarious, two-hour multimedia jaunt down memory lane complete with stories, clips, and songs predominantly from two classic film satires about seemingly disparate genres of music. --Creative Loafing


Product Description
UNWIGGED & UNPLUGGED: An Evening with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer has the legendary musical and comedic trio performing music from heavy metal's loudest band Spinal Tap along with the folk music from A Mighty Wind, and more. The UNWIGGED & UNPLUGGED DVD features two plus hours of songs from the original soundtrack This Is Spinal Tap (1984), the studio album Break Like The Wind (1992), and A Mighty Wind (2003) along with some special surprises and rarities thrown in. UNWIGGED & UNPLUGGED is not about funny costumes and characters, but rather three long time friends and collaborators who make each other laugh and love nothing better than to find some excuse to get together and play music. The trio commented, "With this being the 25th Anniversary of the film This is Spinal Tap, we thought this would be a fun and at the same time, a little challenging, as we have never performed as ourselves. Think of the evening as three old friends jamming in your living room. As opposed to OUR living rooms; we won't be home."

Cool! I believe that this show was from the final show of the tour, in Milwaukee.

I also got an e-mail today informing me of a short film available for download on iTunes, in which Spinal Tap pays a visit to Stonehenge.

I picked this up over the weekend. It's a complete unedited show. The setlist is the same as I saw in New York...the order is somewhat different, but nothing is missing. It includes that night's audience Q&A session, the Clotworthy Spinal Tap censorship notes, and the home made films.....though the Lego one was replaced with a film that looked like Spinal Tap as South Park characters. It'd entertaining and worth getting whether you saw this tour or not.

There's no bonus footage.

I should mention that I picked this up at Best Buy last week. The sticker on the box said $13.99, the price at the register was $9.99.

Hey, Best Buy, do you think you guys might sell more DVD's if you inform the customer of the potential savings before the point of purchase?

You know, I might have picked that one up if I'd known. Is it really too much to expect for stores to give us accurate pricing? I had the same issue with a Three Stooges set at Borders - it was in a case so I couldn't see the tag. The computer said it was $27.99, and even with a coupon, it was a bit more than I wanted to pay. A couple weeks later (with the same discount coupon), one of the sets in the case was laying so I could see the price - $24.99. But I've also seen where the computer price was lower than the sticker, and was told that was the online price. I bought elsewhere that time.
