    ""Sod the one night"
    Ah, Spinal Tap. When I heard back in April they would be playing a "one night, world tour" in London, I knew I had to go. Had it really been 25 years since their [r/m]ockumentary was created?
    The Folksmen, Spinal Tap's folk playing alter-egos fronted the show. Sadly, we were a bit late and missed this part. A prior write up made me chuckle, when it reported that Christopher Guests' 5 year old son, saw the Folksmen playing and wondered when the "old guys would finish and the loud guys would start".
    The band, played through their repertoire. Going back through their fictional past to play songs from before they became Spinal Tap. They also played some songs from the obligatory band splits up years when members explored their musical talents on their own.
    Keith Emerson joined them onstage for a few numbers.
    All in all, it was a good head banging time. I laughed until my "ears bled": the bass turned way past 11 for chest thumping riffs. Like all good bands, the encores never stopped (after 3).
    Sod the one night - we want more Spinal Tap. "
