Define "real band" and consider that Spinal Tap (the 3 main actors): 1) wrote their own songs 2) played actual acoustic instruments 3) sang vocals (without auto-tune) and 4) performed their songs live on multiple occasions without lip sync or backup musicians. Spinal Tap is more "real" than most pop musicians today.

What's great about Spinal Tap is that much of what occurs is based in reality. For example, beginning as a skiffle band, the Thamesmen, before going hard rock (Jimmy Page is that you?). The titles of the songs and lyrics are so dead-on hilarious because they directly satirize music of the 60s and 70s. And the songs are delivered with such sincerity. Everyone needs to experience the genius that is Spinal Tap.

Man, I remember catching them down at this little club in Greenwich Village called The Electric Banana. It was around 1966, the “Flower People” era. And wow, was I knocked out by their exuberance, their raw power. And especially...their punctuality.

I used to go to all of their concerts back in the day, until I watched Peter "James" Bond spontaneously combust at the Isle of Lucy. I was devastated. I left the blues-jazz festival immediately after it happened, but I was told that they continued the concert with a back-up drummer. It was so upsetting I could never go to any of their shows after that. Was anyone else there? Did you stay for the rest of the festival?

I was there but I'd say it was more of a jazz-blues thing than a blues-jazz festival. Did you ever get to the rock opera extravaganza that was "Saucy Jack"? It only ran for 1 night, sadly I missed it but wanted to confirm the rumours that it included a cover of Alice Coopers "only women bleed". I have a bootleg tape of "You're a naughty one" and was thinking of putting on YT for posterity.
