RollingStone.com has issued the following report from Mikael Wood:

The men of SPINAL TAP went costume-free last night at Southern California’s Grove of Anaheim, but Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer had no trouble getting into character: singing Tap classics as well as material from A MIGHTY WIND and WAITNG FOR GUFFMAN, the trio offered pitch-perfect parodies of arena-rock excess and folk-revival earnestness on the fifth date of its Unwigged & Unplugged tour, which wraps up May 31st in Milwaukee (shortly before the release this summer of a new Spinal Tap album, Back From The Dead).

The two-hour set alternated songs with brief multimedia bits, such as a clip from Spinal Tap’s first television appearance (on 1979’s The T.V. Show) and a run-down of the edits that NBC’s Standards & Practices department required before the network would air This Is Spinal Tap. (”Shit sandwich” you can understand, but “twisted old fruit”?)

Musical highlights included a didgeridoo-enhanced 'Clam Caravan; A Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow', for which keyboardist CJ Vanston and McKean’s wife Annette O’Toole joined the proceedings; a bluegrass rendition of the ROLLING STONES’ 'Start Me Up'; and 'Majesty Of Rock', introduced not inaccurately by McKean as “a genuine specimen of the rock & roll anthem.” Only 'Stonehenge' fell flat, it's joke about downsizing done in by the intimate scale of the show.
