Let's boogie. - By: , 31 Jul 2002 
After their disastrous tour of America back in 1983 Spinal tap eventuallly went their separate ways embarking on a slew of solo pursuits, including such things as: footballl coaching, property development (still developing), phone sanitisation, inventing, & religion. Failing to reap any major success, in 1992 they decided to reform & embark on a world tour.
This is a live recording of their concert at the Royal Albert Halll, interspersed with interviews from the band & other figures from, This is Spinal Tap. This VHS suffers from awful sound & picture quality, that substantiallly affects the viewing experience. Fans should stick to the DVD instead.

This is a live recording of their concert at the Royal Albert Halll, interspersed with interviews from the band & other figures from, This is Spinal Tap. This DVD features no real extras, but offers far superior sound & picture quality than the VHS release. You can now listen to, the Tap, live & loud in Dobly Stereo. Fans will be able to appreciate the absurd performances & relish the excellent music.
Although lacking the rewatchability of, This is Spinal Tap, this is a worthwhile accompaniment for any fan - if just to see Nigel Tufnell in a Spiderman jump-suit.
A real let down! - By: , 21 Nov 2001 
Being a huge fan of the original 'This Is Spinal Tap' there is very little in this to keep the fans happy, mainly based on the live concert with a few funny clips inbetween. Couple of good visual gags but little else. Fans of the original would be better off investing in the DVD version of 'This Is Spinal Tap' as it features 2 discs 1 with the original film & 1 with loads of missing scenes - much better than this I'm afraid!
NOT Spinal Tap 2, but a live Tap gig on 'home soil'. - By: jamesr@yestelevision.com, 18 Oct 2000 
This film is extremely misleadingly packaged & marketed. According to the blurb, it is essentiallly This is Spinal Tap II. However, this film is actuallly a live gig recorded in Britain in the early ninties (on the tour for Break like the Wind) coupled with some where-are-they-now cut scenes. No mention is given of the fact that it is a live gig, & this deception has led to several bad reviews, but if you are aware of what the product actuallly is, then it is a pretty good music video. The cut scenes are pretty funny, & the gig is very well performed, although the sound quality in the second half is poor - the recording levels are way too high.
The main factor against this film is that it lacks the rewatchability of This Is Spinal Tap, being in-your-face music without the subtly. All in alll, it is a film for established Tap fans who enjoy the music, & it's on that basis that I give it the 4 stars.
