QuoteVoodooLounge13 QuoteDGA35 Hopefully I'll get to see them one last time. They've had decent opening acts when I've seen them in the past: 1988 w/Dokken 1990 w/Skid Row 1994 - can't remember who opened 2006 w/ Motley Crue 2010 w/Joan Jett All in Vancouver. I believe it was the 2010 show that Tom Hamilton wasn't playing because he was either sick or injured.

I've watched this a few times on Crave tv, a pretty good documentary. I always wondered if bassist Mike Levine was the inspiration for Derek Smalls on Spinal Tap! Rik Emmett is an excellent guitarist, I remember watching an interview with him on Much Music back in the mid 80s, perhaps with JD Roberts on the Pepsi Power Hour, and he was showing different guitarists styles. I remember bei

Quotemrpaulincanada Who is talking at the beginning of the track? I thought it was Keith but not sure. And what is he saying?? This has been discussed here previously. I'm sure it's Mick in his falsetto voice but hard to hear what he's saying.

Is that Wood or Lane singing vocals? It's ironic that Rod Stewart didn't like the song so that's why he didn't sing on it. Now it's pretty much a staple in his concerts.

As I'm sure most know, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer were also the main characters in Spinal Tap! Shearer also is the voice of Mr. Burns, Smithers, Principal Skinner, Ned Flanders and others on The Simpsons.

QuoteBig Al Where as I think I have a reasonable idea as to what performances feature Brian’s harp and which feature Mick’s (1963-‘68), but does anyone have a list compiled? Don't know if there's a list but you can check Nico's site to see who played on what songs. Some of Brian's playing includes Diddley Daddy, Not Fade Away, 2120 SMA, Look What You Done and Going Home.
