With Bob Mould’s birthday approaching — he’ll be 51 on Sunday — we thought we’d dedicate this latest installment of Vintage Video to the legendary Hüsker Dü. And so we present this fantastic footage of the trio powering through an hour-long set at London’s Camden Palace in 1985, brought to our attention by A Thousand Voices Talk.

The 21-song set, the band’s first-ever performance in England, was filmed for the U.K. television show “Live From London” — that’s the show intro you see at the front end of this video — and has been released in quasi-official form both on VHS and DVD over the years.
