Wildly OT: Now that's what I call a (convenient) World Tour

[smudge]

I mean - London is the only place that matters, right?

Hysterical. Smudge, is this a real show? The spoof is so complete that I can't tell.

No idea - although it wasn't published on 1st April. Guess we'll know on 9th April when it goes on sale and ticketbastard's servers collapse

Anybody else notice that in the article's photograph Michael McKean inexplicably has two hands on his shoulders? Too funny...

I'd love to see a show in which both the Folksmen and Spinal Tap are performing.

I think this is real, that is an actual show.

The Spinal Tap guys are touring the U.S. under the name Unwigged and Unplugged:

Re: 2009 concert tour

Gentlemen:

I have good news and bad news.

The bad news:
Your 2009 “Unstoppable” tour has been cancelled.
The poor economy plays a role in this decision, as
does the band’s history, pertaining to shows.

The good news:
Much of your repertoire will be performed in a concert
setting this spring in the Guest/McKean/Shearer “Unwigged and Unplugged” tour across the U.S. If you’re interested, we can probably get you a limited number of seats.

More information is available at www.unwigged.com

Our best to your “families”.

Sincerely,
Nathan Goniff [/quote]

It isn't a spoof. And floor seating has sold out. Unnless you buy the £150 VIP package.

Can't work out whether that is funny or depressing...
