[tweetmeme]For this week’s installment in the Vintage Video series, we revisit the classic, original lineup of The B-52s — including the late Ricky Wilson — as the band plays a 30-minute set in Dortmund, part of what was then West Germany, in 1983 for the TV show “Rockpalast.” The performances comes about a month after the release of the band’s third album, Whammy!, and opens with that record’s “Song for a Future Generation.”
