For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we flash back to XTC’s early turn as a touring band for this 1979 performance filmed in Paris and broadcast by French TV. The 20-minute set comes a few months after the release of Drums and Wires, and opens with three songs off that album.

For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we present The Sisters of Mercy’s long-out-of-print concert film “Wake,” recorded  at London’s Royal Albert Hall on June 18, 1985 — the final concert by the lineup that included Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams, who went on to form The Mission.

For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we present this red-hot Bob Mould set from Athens, Ga., on 1990’s Black Sheets of Rain tour. Mould’s playing with his solo band and gets an assist on guitar from R.E.M.’s Peter Buck on a cover of Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl.”

For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we revisit The Dead Milkmen’s notorious 1988 “performance” of their improbable hit “Punk Rock Girl” on “Club MTV” — which was decidedly not the usual cable-television outlet for such unkempt college radio faves. Watch the whole thing here.

For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we present this 40-minute set by Siouxsie and the Banshees, filmed at the U.K.’s Warwick University in 1981, about three months prior to the release Juju, and broadcast as part of the BBC’s “Rock Goes to College” series. Watch the 10-song set here.

For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we turn to the very short-lived late-night talk show “Thicke of the Night,” hosted by the late Alan Thicke, and this 1984 visit by Aussie powerhouse Midnight Oil.
The band — not exactly a well-known act in America at the time — was allowed to perform three songs.

This week’s installment of Vintage Video delivers some real bang for the buck: It’s a 37-song, 73-minute set by the Minutemen filmed at a San Francisco club in May 1985, about seven months before the tragic death of frontman D.
