Spinal Tap & Mick Fleetwood on The List 2000

[@jv-lk7bc]

took me this long to realize "king tut's tomb" was a tribute to the big comedy hit song of the 70s before Tap, Steve Martin's King Tut. Steve's playing music now.. funky tut paved the way!

[@violetgc6049]

I remember seeing Michael McKean in college in the early 90s in Columbia Missouri. He did a Q and A, and then said, "Someone special wants to come out," and then David St. Hubbins appeared and did a solo acoustic set. My cousin and I DIED. Little did we know, Spinal Tap would go on to do Glastonbury and Live Earth. We thought we were seeing the last of the Spinal Tap experiences,. But no. Still, I will cherish that memory forever. I mean, as a Spinal Tap geek it was a total moment.

[@exessex3522]

Mick Fleetwood's British accent is very convincing.

[@robleahy5759]

It's his yank accent that is good. He is from England...

[@shroommcfanta2020]

Even more impressive his impersonation of an aging rockstar…considering he,s only 22

[@articulus6711]

Happy 100th anniversary to the Greatest Moment in Rock and Roll History

[@namcat53]

Thanks for this. We saw Spinal Tap at The Warfield in San Francisco. They played everything; did the Guitar Solo, Nigel hitting the strings with ping pong balls while the other two were shown on monitors leaving, getting a facial and having dinner to return to the stage at the end, Stonehenge, etc....our faces hurt from laughing so much.

[@grahamlaidlaw7164]

you are so lucky and im so jealous. im not sure how much, if any was scripted, but jeebus, how quick witted are they,,and to stay in caractar ,amazing. too much perspective !

[@namcat53]

@@grahamlaidlaw7164 I wish we had a video of that show.

This single event has restored my faith in popular music.

I'm just glad that Mick made it to the end of the gig while still among the living!

[@eily_b]

They stayed in character but when David St. Hubbins told Nigel that meeting him was his no. 1 moment in Rock 'n' Roll, Christopher Guest had to laugh sincerely. I love that moment. 🥰 21:21

[@tangerinetangerine4400]

Yes! 🥰

[@jv-lk7bc]

not very nice to Derek..

[@Dongled]

How am I just finding out about this now?! Right around this time that this aired, I was in high school and my friends and I were OBSESSED with Spinal Tap. We even dressed up as the members for Halloween and nobody knew who we were but that was ok in our book. I would've loved to have seen this back in the day!

[@shroommcfanta2020]

You probably would,ve find out earlier if you wouldn,t have been high in school

[@jv-lk7bc]

pre-internet

[@violetgc6049]

Marry me, Dongled! I've loved Spinal Tap since I was 10. I'm 51 now. Favorite band of all time besides Public Image Ltd.

[@hemipemi]

Mick Fleetwood looks like he could spontaneously combust any minute.

[@adriancameron8665]

or have a bad gardening accident

[@kierondouglas9532]

Given Fleetwood's history with drink and drugs I think he's more likely to choke on someone else's vomit.

[@robertmarquez9545]

Of course King "Tut" belongs on this list. Dude had the 14th biggest hit of 1978. Also rumored to have had an incestuous relationship and dude changed his name. Dropped Nigel off the front. Total rock star move(s), if you ask Jerry Lee Lewis. Tut channeled into Steve Martin and dropped his own name into the lyrics way before any hip hop artists or rapster thought to do it. Dude's a pop culture icon. Yeah,thats it.

[@timbryant2259]

Wow - Derek Smalls! AKA Harry Shearer. I saw his wife perform a very small but very wonderful event in rural Illinois - USA. She was very funny - as much as Derek - but she had her own too. She's from Wales.

[@jv-lk7bc]

Harry Shearer had his own radio show too, really cool.

[@JayBee3237]

How did Mick Fleetwood do this and hold it together so well? This was hilarious!

[@jv-lk7bc]

he was having a great time, too, you could tell. through the blah blah he was like yeah, yeah when do we play?

[@sirmoanalot3779]

The bald patch on the back of Dereks head is the icing on the cake

[@jv-lk7bc]

spotlight was so on it, choked in tight. I bet the instructions were fun.

[@dr.OgataSerizawa]

Fun Factoid: Mick Fleetwood is the tallest drummer in rock n roll history.

[@stealingtomorrowband]

Danny from tool is the same height maybe taller. Internet says they bith are 6'5

[@vadimastprojects8770]

The best episode ever. KING TUT'S TOMB!!

[@Nocturnbandofficial]

... is this King Tut thing related to Steve Martin's novelty hit from the 1970ies? He also was with SNL at some point.. ;-)

[@jv-lk7bc]

no, the second one

[@marthaworc7873]

I LOVE David StHubbins. Great footware too!

[@dbled34]

I never really noticed how good the song Hell Hole really is.

[@jv-lk7bc]

I was thinking same of the Big Bottom groove. Fleetwood was down. They're actually all pretty good.

[@noehctuccmliw]

And now let's hear it for ... 'FLEETWOOD TAP'

[@Fritha71]

When the host asked Nigel if he liked the hours, he ought to have answered "yes, yes I did... especially the eleventh hour."

[@isopdt]

Holy **** this is so funny. comedic genius

[@heathercollins4432]

Christopher, Michael and Harry: "We're actually playing with Mick Fleetwood!!!!"

Yep, me too.

[@darkwitness2718]

Derek's near-death experience was an unexpected revelation.

[@BlueMHart]

"They're not saying 'boo,' they're saying 'Nigel!'" I can't stop laughing.

[@johnoliver533]

Thank you for putting this out. Would like to know where+when this was aired. Can you help?

[@YouzTube99]

38:26 Nigel needs that many pick-ups to drive his amps to 11.

[@colby7325]

Lmao great catch😂

[@RockyDave]

He recently found that 11 wasn't loud enough, and is now working with Marshall to develop an amp that goes to infinity.

[@YouzTube99]

@@RockyDave LOL!

[@daisywrabbit]

all that praise of the electric sitar earlier, and Nigel didn’t even play the electric sitar on listen to the flower people.

[@ugadawgs1990]

There was more money raised from donations after this performance than all of Live Aid and Jerry Lewis telethons put together.

[@markyncole]

When and how did Mick Fleetwood die?

[@MRTHEOZONER]

Freak accident. Drumstick bounced off his snare and shot straight thru his eyeball socket. Man, it was so hot, it sizzled for just a sec! Now there's a 40 odd year old band called "Mac". Mick Fleetwood's a God! Smiles

[@RockyDave]

@@MRTHEOZONER This account of Mick's demise is probably correct. Of course, there's a conspiracy theory that suggests that he didn't actually die on this occasion, but retrieved the drumstick from his eyeball socket and ate it. He continued with the soundcheck, only needing one drumstick throughout the Tap's version of 'The Chain'. Then he left for a Vindaloo curry or two and was finally seen off by a Led Zeppelin falling from the sky.

[@ontaka5997]

He had a drug overdose but came back from the dead. Being inspired by this awakening experience, he wrote the lyrics to their hit song, "Kickstart My Shaft".

[@Unsung_Earth]

@@MRTHEOZONER but was actually someone else's drumstick

Would have been funny if "Dereck" whipped out a phone and called the number to ask "Nigel" a question.

[@brandonmatuja6498]

Nigel just views all of history (recorded & unrecorded) as being the history of rock 'n' roll, because rock 'n' roll is everything to him. He's just more advanced than everyone else, so that's why he looks like the dumbest...
