Spinal Tap

On May 3, 1992, the infamous band Spinal Tap came to Milwaukee to appear in concert at the Riverside Theater. The night before the show, they stopped at Shank Hall for a press conference telecast on Channel 18 and broadcast on 93QFM. Here's some shots of that magical night.

More Tap.


The boys wrap up the press conference, ready to meet their fans.
