Spinal Tap
May. 21st, 1992 07:30 pmMy sister, my friend Mike and I went to the Riverside to see Spın̈al Tap. For years afterward, I had to deal with people who didn't believe that I'd seen them, since the band was fictional. They had released their first album as a soundtrack for the movie, but after their second album, Break Like the Wind, they embarked on a tour in support of it.
Our seats were to be front row, center, of the balcony. It turned out that the movie projector was set up there, so we got new seats in a box on the side loge.
The band did their usual gags, where bassist Derek Smalls suffered some sort of technical difficulty, where he was unable to join the band onstage for the song. Their grand entrance to the stage was while flying on wires. Smalls's wires did not lower him to the stage, so he hung in the air for the whole opening song. It was a fun show.
