Featured on the "This is Spinal Tap - Up to 11 edition" Blu-Ray and DVD


This 58 minutes follow up, which ia a sold out reunion concert introduced by Bob Geldof filled with "10 years" after interviews, is featured as extra material on the Blu-Ray/DVD-edition "This is Spinal Tap - Up to 11 editioon".
This is filled with lots of extra material.

I've got the original DVD version nearly twice as long as the edit on this.

OK. Interesting. Stupid that there's several versions. Can't see the point in that.

Well, for one thing, the video/DVD "Return of Spinal Tap" is a heavily reworked and expanded version of a 1992 NBC TV special ("A ST Reunion/25th Ann. Sellout"). The nearly doubled-in-length home version gets that way almost completely through the addition of more live concert footage, meaning that for anyone but the most rabid Tapper, the short version is by far the more entertaining.

(BTW: The Tap coverage here on imdb.com is a mess in general. I have less Faith in its factual veracity tha I do in Tap's former manager Ian -- dead *or* alive!)
