Given that today marks the 25th anniversary of the release of R.E.M.’s classic album Lifes Rich Pageant, we tried to find some 1986 tour footage for this week’s installment of Vintage Video. Unfortunately, there’s not much floating around out there of decent quality. Instead, though, we came across this pristine footage: a full, 95-minute concert filmed on Oct. 2, 1985, for the German TV show “Rockpalast.”

The show, which you can watch in full above, features remarkably good audio and video reproduction, and finds the band in fine form during the Fables of the Reconstruction tour. Highlights include an early version of “Fall On Me” with different lyrics, plus covers of songs by the likes of the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Creedence Clearwater Revival and more.

Plus, there’s Michael Stipe’s peroxide-blonde dye job.
