I love this man's voice so much! He just keeps getting better. Beautiful songwriting and a pure, raw, real honest rock band!!! Long live Greg Dulli and the Whigs!

[@davidtaylor6663]

agreed. he has become the best in the rock world sincerely

[@johnwoodward7609]

too bad the crowd has no clue what mastery is happening right in front of them....legends... regardless of the lame audience.

[@jeffparker7449]

Whigs 4VR!

[@herbie747]

He was flat for most of the songs. What are you talking about? He can't hit the notes anymore. 36:20 - he's dying here and the notes are flat.

[@miameramusic]

@@davidtaylor6663 That's probably why they chose him to be the voice of John Lennon in the Beatles movie "Backbeat".

[@davidtaylor6663]

Now that is a rock band. Best in world.

[@guilhermegarcia8750]

It doesnt get more rock than this.

[@miameramusic]

@@guilhermegarcia8750 You are 100% correct. I've been seeing their concerts for 25 years, they are still my favorite live band.

[@fabyshchetnkvn7577]

saw them right now in Berlin live. There absolutely insane. Most underrated band I know

[@sharonlee4773]

Hes turned into a 1950s Italian pizza restaurant owner\gangster but I still love him!

[@saintjabroni]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dielel9268]

One of the most underrated 90s bands!!!

[@bossanova]

No. Not a Band - it's Dulli. And it's magic.

[@loreranfagni3772]

Gentlemen and Black Love albums are music masterpieces..... everyone should know the Whigs!. Keep on rocking guys!

[@jcr1231]

Maravillosos. Perfect!!!

[@ElMondial]

First, Congregation (better than both?)

[@miameramusic]

@@ElMondial I agree. I love all their records, but Congregation and Up In It are the most intense. Still my favorite live band of all time.

[@glennhalila8279]

I'm from Cincinnati and a friend of mine from High-school was their original Vedeographer. I just accidentally found this video. I feel lucky, because this is my favorite Band and I love these guys! I really like these guys. They were all good guys. Greg Dulli has so much talent and the band is so good after all these years I'm talking since the 80's and 90's! The Bass Player is a really personable guy and so is Greg. They were always regular guys never a snobby attitude and accepted praise gracefully! I always considered them my friend's!

[@miameramusic]

@@glennhalila8279 I love hearing stories like that. In interviews they are always so funny and personable, it's just a bonus that their music is some of the best of that last 30 years. Greg was also the voice of John Lennon in the Beatles movie "Backbeat".

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

I did not pay that much attention to his music in the 90's and boy I was missing out.

[@mrnatelygrisse]

Thanks to a couple movie soundtracks like American Pie 2 and She's All That, at least some of us noticed...

[@guilhermegarcia8750]

Big time

[@miameramusic]

@@guilhermegarcia8750 I agree, they are just amazing. Not sure if you seen them live, but if you get the chance, do it. You won't ever forget it.

[@repairdrive]

Just when you think the Whigs are rocking hard enough they bust out the violin. 😊😊👏👏

[@wojtekdabrowski7531]

This version of “Faded” made me cry...What a band...Hope I see them live someday.

[@miameramusic]

You and me both. I can't see them live without openly weeping. Greg Dulli is a master songwriter.

[@brianewing5778]

Hope that you both got to see them cause they're f***ing amazing live!!!! Saw them play for the Black Love tour and it left my friend & I speechless for a good 5 block walk as we tried to process what we just witnessed!!!!

[@kyleharris7154]

Fantastic! Afghan Whigs are one of Cincinnati’s greatest exports 👏👏👏

[@nicknakatsuka4831]

Holy sh*t that opening to Faded! And the add of Last Goodbye to Can Rova. Unreal!

One of the few bands who adhere to the policy of "Take No Prisoners" when they hit the stage.

Especially when the flash photography gets going.

[@joaopgrferreira]

Dulli and the Whigs are and always have been - gold!

[@GordKapasky]

My personal post breakups music generator. The man is a treasure.

[@chuckdriver8269]

John Skibic’s slide tone at the beginning of faded is absolutely spot on, classic Afghan Whigs. I know it’s “I can’t make you love me” by Bonnie Raitt but it is “1965” era Whigs slide tone nailed! I see why Greg brought him into the fold! 🎸🇺🇸

[@missnordstern2119]

How much I love them, the best alternative rock band in the world, "Algiers" the most beautiful rock anthem ever! Rebel on! ♥♥♥

[@comando36gye]

amazing how live performance sounds so precise...exactly like studio version but wilder

[@grahamak22]

Masterpiece concert.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dersinger9853]

look listen and here is an little inside Story: Wow, one of the lifetime concerts. They were so unbelieveable good. Pure grace to be there. The crowd wasnt dead at all. But of course a lot of work to do for an old time enthuisiastic to run around and shout they have to enjoy, cause they only later will realize wich huge impact and deep soul this sound have. Whatever, i am feeling blessed to see that there are still humans outside which share the same vibe. love to you all, who know its only out of space when you can litsten to it again and again, and discoverering everytime somthing new within you. In this sense we - the crowd are part of the vibe- an i swear i gave everything, just like it would be radiohead. Hope u also checked out the twillight singers and other projects of gregg. stay open hearted an loving oldering dudes

[@sidneymartin7346]

I was 16 and listening to some random music with my ex-boyfriend. It was during the days when CDs were just beginning to get a popular, and they had disc changers (showing my age here). My boyfriend fell asleep and the CD that played was Congregation... I was blown away. I stayed up listening to it and discovered that I fell in love with Dulli that night and not my boyfriend. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm blessed to live close to Cincinnati, so with that city being his hometown, I have been able to see many Whigs shows as well as Gutter Twins, and The Twilight Singers (personally I believe the album Blackberry Belle is his best work ever. If you havent ever checked out The Twilight Singers, you should today!). I've met him 2X. First time it was at a Gutter Twins show and he seemed to be your typical absorbed celebrity, but 2nd time went much better. I actually stole his setlist paper taped down at his feet. I absolutely love Greg Dulli and The Whigs, one of my all time favorites... forever. ❤

[@markspencer2833]

I went to school with him... I'm in the Debonair Vid....he's actually from Hamilton, just North of the Natti.

[@kirstinmuller3362]

Love you guys for so long. Please ever stop

[@rebelonmyside]

Wow. Still love this music after all this years. Great live performance. Thank you gentlemen

[@glennhalila8279]

Light as a Feather is so spectacularly good! Greg Dulli still has Beautiful Voice. I remember when they played at Bogarts and the Top Hat in the Beginning. I was there. A Friend of mine from High-school was their Videographer in the Beginning. What a Great Band! This is an Excellent Video. The Music is still as Great! I always want to Dance to this Bands Music. Good Beat Great Musicians and Great Vocals!

Birdland is the song that got Me into this gem of a band

Seriously underrated tune. Perfectly beautiful album opener.

[@carollee8823]

It's 2021 just discovered this band, WOW.

[@sidneymartin7346]

Better late than never. 😉 Dulli, has had a couple side projects as well. He was the singer (and more, of course) of The Twilight Singers for awhile. Check out the album Backberry Belle. My favorite work of Dulli's.

[@grgapitic2346]

I love them, i miss 90s 😎 Faded killed me as always

[@lazynapt8254]

Faded kills anyone. It's a mass killer song.

Great concert, i love energy they are giving over the years. It seems they enjoy it as much as we still do

[@kmalik142]

Amazing band….bought Gentlemen at a used CD store in College Park, MD. Summer 1994 and fell in love.

[@Thomricardop]

Saw them in WUK in Vienna about one week prior to this concert. Was an excellent show, by the way.

[@altugatalmis7235]

perfect

[@Geo69xr]

Wow....been many years seeing the Whigs..Dulli got really huge

[@Hammerhead3229]

@skateski Dulli has always been up and down in his weight. Even in the 90's he'd get big and back to skinny.

[@Radb707]

Yeah well he's middle aged, quit smoking and drugs, and spends most of his time touring. He got really skinny when the Whigs reunited cuz he took a break.

[@bettyschliebunt7078]

Love the whigs, first seen them on the gentleman tour, that wasn't yesterday. Last time was dulli and friends, lost their edge a bit, but still classy.

[@miameramusic]

Oh wow, you are old school like me! Yeah I first saw them on the Gentleman tour in NYC, that was one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. Dulli is the consummate front man, they are still my favorite live band to this day.

[@moonmonkey999]

@@miameramusic OH pe is my first and fave. They are touring here in nov. Taste has changed, will prob end up seeing though

[@miameramusic]

I can’t wait for the the new record! I worked at Sub Pop briefly in the late 90s but they were on Electra at the time. I remember hearing the Twilight Singers demo, amazing stuff.

sing it Greg

greg with a few chins is still more bad ass since anything from maybe the late 80s?

His neck is getting pretty thick.

Yeah, but it's a few more chins piling on the rest. Like a white Barry Whute

awesome vibes somethimes need more space. shut your eyes and listen to the beautyness of this beeing. forget about your image. here is something connecting, wild, unchained, agelesss - a powerplant of authentic frequences. he looks perfect - in the shape of his voice, of course not when you intend to share a meal with him ;-)

[@luluvox]

Holy shit that Bonnie Raitt moment.

[@acos21]

One of the most underrated 90s bands. I bet it's because of their bandname. Not sure if thats a good or a bad thing.

[@TrippedGian1]

Greg is like the coolest dad cop here hah Also the riff in John the Baptist sounds like Wasted Years by Iron Maiden WHAT THE HELL

[@qwertJoe1975]

Who knew the guitar player from Red Fang played drums? For the Afghan Whigs no less.

[@sarys73]

What a dead crowd. These goons don't know what a treat this is. Greg never comes anywhere near where I live.

[@1965official]

Maybe they're hearing Whigs for the first time and they're still unable to fully comprehend the genius of Mr Dulli. But they will. And soon.

[@Ravver]

they're just vibing man, let people enjoy music how they want to enjoy it lol.

[@jurgenweinberg6611]

I was totally stunned when the Whigs were announced for Haltern Pop Festival. This place is 75km away from where I live and it was like a dream came through. Greg Dulli and the Whigs playing in Germany. But you are right, the crowd wasn't ready for this. It wasn't the right festival to get worshipped for the Whigs. Anyway, I did enjoy every second of it and I'm hoping to get another chance to see the Whigs playing live.

[@agoogleuser7832]

JEEZES Greg! Too many dolma!

Adding, "Last Goodbye" there was killer!!!

[@RedMothRecords]

Matamoros was super fast

[@meadish]

Yeah, that song did lose a bit of its pulling magic like that. I think the KEXP performance is the one I like most for that song. Still, not complaining, the concert as a whole is amazing. Voice-wise, Dulli is killing it and then some, and they are super tight as a unit.
