Milestones: Siouxsie Sioux is 53 today; watch a complete Banshees concert from 1981

Today we observe another dark-hued milestone, as goth queen Siouxsie Sioux — aka Susan Ballion, erstwhile leader of The Banshees and The Creatures — turns 53. To mark the occasion, we present a full Siouxsie and the Banshees concert, a July 19, 1981, performance in Cologne, Germany, that was filmed for German television. You can watch the whole thing in the playlist embedded above, or, as always, check out the individual performances at Slicing Up Video.
