The DVD with Signals, Calls and Marches features live footage from two shows, one in 1979 and one in 1980. Plenty of cheezoid video effects and some ugly guys with no shirts in the audience, but the performances are fine. Vs. comes with a DVD of the complete all-aged matinee set from Burma's Boston farewell concerts at the Bradford Hotel Ballroom. Lots of hardcore kids stage diving and knocking over gear, even on the "quiet" songs, but it's fun stuff. And the Horrible Truth bonus DVD has the evening 18-and-over Bradford show in its entirety, as well as the edited version that was released on VHS eons ago as Live At The Bradford; the performance is pretty impressive, and Martin Swope even shows up on stage for a Kinks cover.
