Hmmm, I don't really know. Try searching Google, I'm sure you'll find something there  I found this: "In September 1994 there was an official celebration of Monty Python's 25th anniversary, held in Los Angeles. It took the shape of a film and TV festival which included the presentation of various spin-off projects, including the Rutles film. As an adjunct to the festival Neil Innes performed a show of Rutles music in character as Ron Nasty. Among stars in attendance were Beatles Anthology producer/Traveling Wilbury Jeff Lynne, Julian Lennon, Seal, and Spinal Tap member Harry Shearer. " |

Also--
Joe Stefanelli, "the John" for The Moptops, the Beatle tribute band who for two nights were "The New Rutles" with Neil Innes.....shared a story about being a New Rutle for a weekend:
"Two nights before the gig we went to this big par-tay at the British Consulate. And then we met Eric Idle. I think Eric didn't want us doing the concert or something, because he wasn't very nice to us. But I met Sid Cesar, Jeff Lynne was there. We met all these people, and people loved us!"
