Gentlemen

There's no band like the Whigs.. They're in a league of their own.. Agreed Peter.. Everything is golden..

[@joeyunger6460]

Saw the band dozens of times in the 90s… But this set is one of their best of all time. Wish they would re-record when we parted the way that they did this live.

[@bitesyerlegs]

Still awesome, from Debonair through to Twilight Singers, everything Greg touches turns to gold...

[@joeyunger6460]

Incredible. I miss this band.

Rick McCollum started + continues to create music under the moniker MoonMaan. It's brilliant; you can clearly hear where so much of that wonderfully angst-ridden Whigs guitar tone comes from.

sublime

Saw them for the first time while doing my laundry in 1987 at Sudsy Malone's in Clifton on a Wednesday night. Rocked then...and my whites were fresh.

Nope. Moonbow. Look up "Moonbowrocks" on FaceBook (Can't post links here). If you scroll down you'll see pics of some of the players. My buddy Dave McElfresh (from Hank III) on fiddle, and Steve Earle in some of the pictures and also listed in the "About" link. I'm 99% this is the Afghan Whig's Steve Earle because Davey was telling me how cool it was to get to play with him.

I HEART F/N WHIGS

[@20YearsInTheDakota]

Fucking amazing.

[@shoetheshoeless]

I love Moon Maan! Unfortunately they played almost exclusively in Minnesota, as far as I can tell. I keep hoping that a bootleg of one of their live performances will turn up, but no luck so far.

I bet Greg Dulli is Dexter...

[@joeyheadset]

Ah, OK. I know he was once in a band called MoonMaan. They had some good tunes... "Light of the Moon", among them. I guess Steve is really into the moon n' stuff :/

[@mrjutha]

joeyheadset why moon in english and maan in dutch? It's man in both languages, so...? It's wife in english and wijf in dutch and wuvve in West-Vlaams. In that dialect it's de moane, zie schijnt widder zo skone en fel ten es lank ni mis bah nent vint.

[@joeyheadset]

Do you mean MoonMaan?
