Summary

Once upon a time, Spinal Tap had a big hit song. Now, nearly two decades later, Spinal Tap still clings to some glint of their lost glory as they embark on an accident-plagued tour across America. In Cleveland, the group gets lost underneath the stage. In Washington, they're accidently booked into an Air Force formal dance. And in a Chicago record store, no one shows up to get their autographs. Through interviews, rare footage and lots of music, you'll get re-acquainted with the group in this comical "rockumentary"
