Posted under: Spinal Tap at Live Earth: all the links
Well, I managed to muck up my Sky+ recording of the Tap at Live Earth because I didn’t notice the Beeb cunningly change the channel they were broadcasting the event on halfway through. But hey, the web comes to the rescue, so here’s an MTV interview with the band before their performance (which is made so much better by the fact that it segues straight into Geri Halliwell and other poptastic stars all being really serious about global warming); then on YouTube (“Hello Wimbledon!”), performances of Stonehenge and new song Hotter than Hell, and separately, Big Bottom …with every bass player at the event joining them on stage. I wondered how they were going to turn it up to eleven this time. Finally a not very good and rather chaotic interview with Edith Bowman.
Better Quality Links: at the official site, the songs are shown in better quality, although you get a 30 second advert first:
Stonehenge
Warmer than Hell
Big Bottom
