END OF TOUR PARTY
Los Angeles

1:07:09
So tonight's the last show of the tour.
1:07:11
Is this your last waltz?
Are we talking the end of Spinal Tap

1:07:14
or are you gonna try to milk it
for a few more years in Europe?

1:07:18
Well, I don't really think that the end...
can be assessed... er...

1:07:23
as of itself as being the end.
1:07:26
What does the end feel like?
It's like saying when you try

1:07:29
to extrapolate the end of the universe.
1:07:31
If the universe is indeed infinite,
then what does that mean?

1:07:35
How far is all the way?
And then if it stops, what's stopping it?

1:07:39
And what's behind what's stopping it?
"What's the end?" is my question to you.

1:07:44
- It's a good crowd, good crowd.
- It is, isn't it?

1:07:47
Yeah. Some of these things,
you know, don't mean much.

1:07:50
It's hard to get at the last minute.
You can't arrange it all overnight.

1:07:54
David, we had a 15-year ride, mate.
1:07:57
Who wants to be
a 45-year-old rock'n'roller farting around

1:08:00
in front of people less than half their age,
1:08:03
cranking out some mediocre
head-banging bullshit we've forgotten?

1:08:07
- It's beneath us. Who wants to see that?
- Absolutely right.

1:08:11
We can take all those projects
we didn't have time for.

1:08:15
We didn't have time because of Tap.
Bring 'em back to life, maybe.

1:08:19
- Do you remember what...
- At the Luton Palace,

1:08:22
we were talking about a rock musical
based on the life of Jack the Ripper.

1:08:26
- Yeah. Saucy Jack.
- Now is the time to do that.

1:08:29
- You're a naughty one
- Saucy Jack

1:08:31
You're a haughty one, Saucy Jack
1:08:34
It's a freeing up, innit?
It's all this free time.

1:08:36
- Suddenly time is so elastic.
- It's a gift. A gift of freedom.

1:08:40
I've always wanted to do
a collection of my acoustic numbers

1:08:43
with the London Philharmonic,
as you know.

1:08:46
We're lucky.
People should be envying us, you know.

1:08:50
- I envy us.
- Yeah. Me too.
