On wikipedia Spiñal Tap is classed as "a parody fictional heavy band" (uff!) Spiñal Tap is nowadays mostly known for the crazy movie/rockumentary "This is Spiñal Tap" from 1984. The bands original members first appearance, as Spiñal Tap, was on a really bad TV-show in 1979.
"Christmas With The Devil" shows, in my opinion, that they do pretty well as musicians - without the horribly freaky label "Parody fictional":
There is also a live version available, recorded from The Arsenio Hall Show in 1992, but the sound quality is not good. Actually it is crappy. It is almost not there. Fun to look at, tough!
These guys have done so much throughout the last 3 decades so the internet would get filled up if we started to repeat it all over the place. Let's just watch and enjoy, David Gilmour with Spinal Tap performing "Big Bottom":
