Here are four video recordings of concerts by one of my favorite 1980s post-punk bands, The Chameleons. I sometimes describe them as existing somewhere between Joy Division, The Cure, and The Smiths; they were also a large influence on Interpol.
1. The Hacienda, Manchester (1982, 31 min)
2. The Gallery Club, Manchester (1982, 54 min)
3. Camden Palace (1984, 1 hour)
4. Manchester Academy (3 June 2000, 51 min)
This is a reunion concert:
Enjoy!
