Mock rock legends Spinal Tap reunited for London's Live Earth concert on Saturday, performing spoof environmental single "Warmer Than Hell" that describes the Devil complaining about high temperatures in Britain.
Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer were back together for the first time since 2004, when they celebrated the 20th anniversary of "This is Spinal Tap", the "mockumentary" movie that catapulted them to fame.

Rob Reiner, director of the film, introduced the band ahead of the appearance at Wembley Stadium, one of nine gigs being held across the world to raise awareness of climate change and encourage people and governments to go green.
"I'm about to introduce a rock band that has two great qualities; one, volume, and two, punctuality, important in any rock band," he told a crowd of around 63,000 people.
In a throwback to the movie, the group opened their brief set with "Stonehenge", complete with miniature-sized replicas of the ancient British monument carried on by two dancing dwarves in monks' habits.
Their second song was "Warmer Than Hell", especially written for Live Earth.
