    • ]]>     Who would have thought that Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer would continue on as “Spinal Tap” all these years after the initial release of their groundbreaking mockumentary back in 1984??? Well, the musical joke has stood the test of time and the movie never gets old, in my book. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film “This is Spinal Tap”, the trio will be out on the road for a 30-date concert tour. The new twist on this outing is that they’ll be on stage without the wigs, spandex and the elaborate stage show, hence the title – “Unwigged & Unplugged”. Expect acoustic versions of classic Spinal Tap songs as well as material from the comedy trio’s folk parody A Mighty Wind. Personally I’d love to see the Tap in all their glory with amps turned up to “11″ but I guess with the economy the way it is, doing a no-frills acoustic tour is the way it has to be for now. Go out and see them beginning in April.
