Spinal Tap still turned to 11

The hard rockers were trailed on a tour of America in support of the album Smell the Glove by filmmaker Marti DiBergi, who documented their internal friction, cancelled gigs, record company squabbles, problems keeping drummers from spontaneously combusting and occasional geographical difficulties.
