"This Is Spinal Tap"

Although the Raymond Theatre at 129 N. Raymond Ave. in Pasadena was the venue for most of the concert scenes in Rob Reiner's "This is Spinal Tap" (Embassy Pictures, 1984), we never get any good views of the theatre. Here's a shot from the beginning looking offstage right.

The film features Reiner along with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer and Ed Begley, Jr.

A bit of a look at the auditorium sidewall.  

Another look house right with a glimpse at the murals. 

A peek toward the rear of the house. 

A better look at the booth at the rear of the main floor.

See the page about the Raymond Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about the 1921 vintage building. Much of the decor remains inside but, sadly, the building has been condo-ized and is no longer a theatre.

Movie-Locations.com has some information about locations used for the film.
