It wasn’t quite a proper Spinal Tap reunion, but there was some implicit history happening Tuesday night at Largo in Los Angeles as Michael McKean and Christopher Guest joined Loudon Wainwrig…
III, the headliner for the latest in a series of Judd Apatow-hosted “Juddapalooza” benefit concerts at Largo. Besides going back together about five and a half decades as friends on the musical-comedy scene, Wainwright, as hardcore fans will know, was seen as a member of Spinal Tap in a cameo in the very first filmed comedy sketch featuring the faux group in the late ’70s.
“We have come here from the 1960s,” said McKean. “Or as we call them, the 19-fucking-60s.” Added Wainwright, “Best decade!,” as Guest murmured a greatest-generation joke.
Kurstin, a member of the duo the Bird and the Bee as well as producer for Adele and, among others, Beck, kicked off his surprise appearance with a very accomplished jazz instrumental, a side of him few have seen in public, despite his proclivity for talking about his background in the genre in conversation. He returned to the stage to help out Beck as they performed “Dear Life” from 2017’s Kurstin-produced “Colors” album.
Introduced by Apatow as “my favorite artist in the world,” Wainwright played several of his new songs about getting older before being joined by McKean and Guest for the early-1900s serious folk oldie “Baltimore Fire.” A second joint number dated back only to 1972, “Roll Me Over, Jehovah,” by their friend, George Gerdes, a cult artist who had two albums on United Artists in the early ’70s before finding more reliable work as an actor.
