Most underrated band ever.

[@robdoncker6836]

one of the best bands ever

[@zombiehead9163]

By far and away, such an amazing band!.

[@jeff7764]

Lol

[@phillipthompson4253]

I love this band. Since my teenage years... they have constantly provided the soundtrack of my life. I feel like they almost write music just for me.

[@Spookje09]

I know hw you feel. Been a fan since '92 and have been with me, as well as all of Dulli's other projects, through all the ups and downs of life and nursed me through many breakups ;) I feel so fortunate to have them come and play in my little mountain town where I live the past few tours. The last show on the '...Burn' tour was so great. Stellar new album, lineup and they still deliver the goods!

[@brirags]

I guarantee an evening watching Afghan Whigs perform will be one of the best ever

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

I did, and it was :)

[@cassandrayorke5183]

Every track they play blows me away, over and over again. This is incredible.

[@IndustryLeech]

Greg's voice is so soulful. They still sounds great.

[@Romany1111]

America's best rock band.

[@cabonamigo]

I just love their music, gentleman is my top favorite album

[@BrianSchoedel]

KEXP has the best live performances & Afghan Whigs sounded great.

[@raven69600]

The Yppah performance was excellent also🤙🏾

[@krandy2]

Just saw these guys rock the Midpoint Music Festival in Cincinnati. Perfect set. My band recorded our CD at John Curley's studio in the 90's and while we were recording in one studio, the Whigs were in the other rehearsing for the soon to be recorded album, Black Love. Each night the two groups would hang in the lounge area, reading Playboys and smoking pot. Very cool memory.

[@Kingrizla-fm2rr]

:-) I think if the Whigs were recording Black Love in the next room I would have just given up and gone home... Bit like painting a picture and looking over and seeing Picasso painting Guernica on the next easel...

[@trommnorse]

Man, his voice is just amazing.

[@alexcavanaugh1829]

Absolutely one of the best bands of the 90,s Gentlemen and Black Love are still amazing....

[@gbbleu39]

I'm happy to see Afghan whigs is back because i discover Twillight singers recently with two albums and i'm little bit disapointed, and the new songs here are very good.

[@u812notme]

Simply amazing, Dulli is aging with thunder, and continues to write meaningful, impactful trendsetting music.

[@madpedalboards]

Got to see them for the second time recently. Wow, what a great and fun show! A must see band. So many good songs.

[@lamejohnislame5848]

This album was meant for a live setting. One of my favorite live performances.

[@nataliabaage]

Can't watch this video enough. For almost two years, it's still incredible. :)

[@TheAfghanTwilight]

Like a fine wine...

[@mrpelon1000]

[@craigthompson3521]

[@timoteoo7]

[@raven69600]

Ran across these guys back in Idaho when I served… never stopped listening since 🤙🏾

[@1VISHIOUS]

Just got done watching David Letterman...The TV was on in the background not really paying attention, I was looking at my computer reading all my Tweets and finally this music finally smacked me in the side of my face and I was "who the hell is this playing on Dave L". Never heard of them...but now I'm a Fan..Awesome performance

[@Jept]

New songs lack something without Dave. Heartbreaking.

[@MrBlackskye]

Music needs Afghan Whigs to be a part of it always.

[@allanblack7269]

[@TMoody]

[@mrbellthebutler]

Randomly stumbled on this in suggested videos, and I am so glad I did! Heard of them but not the music. "It Kills" has blown me away and the whole set is superb! Cannot wait to explore the back catalogue now!

[@paulperrett2662]

Dave Rosser, guitarrista de The Afghan Whigs, ha fallecido a los 50 años a causa de un cáncer de colon inoperable que padecía. El músico informó de su enfermedad en noviembre de 2016 y se llegaron a hacer conciertos en Nueva Orleans y Los Ángeles para apoyarle donde participaron Moby, Ani DiFranco y Mark Lanegan, entre otros. Ha sido la propia banda quien lo ha confirmado a través de un comunicado en redes sociales: "Con gran tristeza decimos adiós a nuestro amigo, hermano e inspiración. Dave Rosser falleció anoche tranquilo y rodeado de amor. Gracias a todos los que le guardaron en sus corazones. Él está para siempre en el nuestro". The Afghan Whigs es uno de los grupos fundamentales del rock alternativo de los 90 en Estados Unidos. Dave Rosser participó como guitarrista hasta el final en la banda que ha vuelto en 2017 a la actualidad con el disco "In Spades", publicado este mismo mes de junio. Amigo de Greg Dulli, le acompañó en su banda The Twilight Singers y también se unió a éste y a Mark Lanegan en The Gutter Twins. Además compuso para Ani DiFranco y Tim Heidecker, entre otros. Música independiente novedades.

[@tazzinasellout7968]

[@davidchatelain5739]

GREAT!

[@MultiMeg101]

Awesome.......

[@jopabaco]

Grande Greg !!!!!

[@marcorobertini9943]

great band bravi

[@Damiennagle-ij1xn]

Brilliant

[@guillermomontoyo]

The drummer is cool and younger than the other dudes.

[@christopherblosser9387]

In the history of music there are various attempts at “cool” ... and then there is Greg Dulli.

[@saintjabroni]

But seriously, he's a member of the mafia. Right?

[@jylmama]

My favorite song is basically anything by Greg Dulli. Sexiest music in the world.

[@josemiloscurameng3750]

Good sirs, please perform in manila...

[@whiskyart8775]

Perfekt !

[@katiamara2726]

bella bellaa

[@hierro_martins]

Muito bom !!!

[@wiredmadness]

hipster is not the first thing to come to mind when i hear this song. thats for sure. the lead singer sounds a lot like Paul Stanley. hahaa awesome

[@itxitxski]

real gentleman

[@scorpiorising3741]

The Afghan Whigs, The Twilight Singers and The Gutter Twins all have one thing in common.

[@saintjabroni]

The mafia.

[@wojtekwojtek6032]

John Curly !!!!!!!!!!!

[@DakotaWeatherhead]

Hell yeah!

[@edmaczka3881]

Love the UFO t-shirt but you seriously need McCollum to make his band function.

[@michadobrowolski5734]

I always thought Afgan Wings.

[@bluealnico]

Awsome band. Could do with another 1965 tho!

[@user-ix9kx3yp9c]

Это прекрасно

[@brianwilner3634]

My sister has Dulli's sunglasses, for real, lol.

[@Wxstrn]

Jesus Christ. Mind blown.

[@m00nsplitter72]

I love the format of these performances, it's just a shame that the sound quality is so flat and compressed by the platform. Oh, to have 16 or 20 bit FLAC available as a purchased download.

[@germanloinaz7272]

¿Te gusta la musiquita,Marianito?

[@TMoody]

You see... this is GREAT fuckin' rock n' roll from Ohio.

[@fl6stringer]

I believe that mic was not the best choice for his voice. Very compact sweet spot.

[@stevie3855]

+fl6stringer- these guys play at maximum rock & roll volume. such a small room-the vocal mics were acting as drum room mics. Vocal mics have to have tight sweet spot to keep out everything else but it was still a challange to get a decent balance. What would be a better vocal mic in your opinion? Always looking for better way. Especially for quiet background vocals. 3 of them!

[@fl6stringer]

***** Oh, heck, you got me there! Maybe my comment seemed more authoritative than I actually am. I don't have extensive experience in a wide range of microphones, it was just my layman's opinion. I've played on and off for 20+ years but gear is my weak spot. Much of my vocal experience has been behind dynamics..... sm58, sm57, and Audix om2... I guess you can take my opinion with a grain of salt but thanks for your informed input!

[@TheRodan77]

Hells yeeeeeah... 😊

[@Finsami71]

Greg Dulli just catches it ...

[@Jeffersondejesusrodriguesrjl]

ok ok, viva anos 90
