Video Clips

 

This list includes all known promo clips & TV appearances the band filmed over the years. Some other TV appearances are also listed in the video concerts page, which includes a list of the concerts which were filmed. The number of TV performances & clips filmed in their early days is astonishing, considering the aversion the band has for videos now. Although a lot of these TV films have unfortunately been destroyed or lost, some amazing videos have survived. Most of them are unavailable on Home Video and definitely worth digging... All post 1979 promo clips are studio versions except when indicated.
