In comedy, as in rock n roll, nothing is quite as easy as it looks. And so it makes sense that several years before the 1984 release of the legendary rock n roll mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, director Rob Reiner and stars and co-writers Mochael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer first had to make a shorter version of the same movie: a sort of sample-size Spinal Tap, meant to whet the appetite of studios that might bankroll the real thing. Titled The Final Tour, this 20-minute demo reel about a past-its-prime, unselfconsciously ridiculous band makes for an uncanny viewing experience today, if for no other reason than how fully conceived the idea already was. Its on YouTube if youre curious.
