Live at Lowlands Festival 2006
Biddinghuizen, Holland, 20 Aug. 2006

[@mouthbreathers]

Rest in peace Dave Rosser. One of many incredible performances and recordings - and a personal favorite. ❤

[@ivangeldbojemeda]

I just saw Afghan Whigs tonight in Toronto and they played this song! Thank you Greg and John for all your music 😎

[@andorrasrevenge1683]

That’s badass

[@DeputyPancho]

I was there in the front row and was blown away by how f****** incredible this band are! Lowlands festival was very lucky this year.

[@tealeeves4]

whatever it takes for him to keep making amazing music. greg is a genius. there is nobody else out there like him!

[@age_of_reason]

In 1,000 years people will be listening to this and it will still be relevant and much appreciated. While the pop crap that is most popular won't even be a memory.

[@mouthbreathers]

Simply incredible. Gives me goosebumps. Can't stop coming back to watch/listen, too.

[@tlm315]

i couldnt take my eyes off the screen WOW!!!!

[@padzzz9377]

On a Gregg Dully binge! Cheers!

[@JLBlack74]

Bobby Macintyre is just ridiculous on Drums!

[@GrogMindwhip]

That ain't him. It's Animal from Muppet Show.

[@bobbymacintyredrummerproducer]

Thank you! I’ll take “ridiculous” with great appreciation. 🙏

[@JLBlack74]

Got to see you guys in Brooklyn with Mark Lanegan. Never forget it. R.I.P. Dave Rosser. Love to see you back with Greg Dulli again. Your drums on “Where did you sleep last night” off the charts also!

[@bobbymacintyredrummerproducer]

@@JLBlack74 I think about Dave a lot. He’s surely missed heavily. We all had a great run together and your words are really appreciated. Cheers from Miami!

[@Yezhik]

brilliant! since I've heard it in Warsaw for the first time, it is the most impressive song played by the Twilight Singers...let's dance!!!

[@hal9000lovesdaisy]

This is THE best TS song I have heard, and it even eclipses some of the material Dulli wrote with the Whigs. When I get tired of watching this video, I watch the version where he talks in Italian to the audience (or was it French?).What a character!

[@ProstheticGod]

everyday I come back here. Everyday!

[@seanmessenger]

NOBODY drinks and smokes and rocks and turns it ON like Greg Dulli. Makes me proud to be a sinner. :)

[@steveh.9462]

This would’ve been a great lineup to party with!

[@iamdanielG1]

seriously perplexed by the 3 dislikes... this is one of the best covers EVER

[@sarys73]

Bobby killed it.

[@markhaban5642]

I can smell the cigarette smoke right through the monitor> I think Dulli should tour with a Whigs/TS supergroup and play the whole catalog. Every time I see TS, I hope to hear some Whigs songs. Funny, when I saw the Whigs in '12, I was really hoping he'd break out some TS. Dulli is a rock God.

[@plywoodpicasso]

I saw Greg with the Whigs years ago and they were great. It is nice to see that he still has it.

[@gedc1347]

Thanx for posting

[@leemajella]

Just got a tweet from Martina Topley-Bird herself recommending this cover version. Can you believe it!

[@minders1960]

i have watched this so many times and i am finally getting up the nerve to say...WOWZA!!! dave rosser is friggin great in this video. and, hal, i think you're being way too tough on greg - he still has the twinkle, you just can't see it!

[@jjanamariethree]

This version is much better than the cd version. Love it.

[@prozacpeople]

My god everything Greg does is so fucking amazing.

[@mlfz13]

very good music.. feelings.. lyrics.. sounds.. atmospher.. wow.

[@Rutgerpeer]

Plug your Dunlop cry baby wah wah in the other way around (guitar in the output and a lead from the input to the amplifier) then play with your toneknobs and the wah pedal a bit, you'll hear it making that cool sound! We covered this song once and did it that way. The sound's been used in quite a few songs (for instance Pink Floyd's "echoes").

[@CursedRecordingsUK]

My mind is blown. Is that really how he's doing that?

[@rutgerpeereboom8807]

​@@CursedRecordingsUK Haha yes that's absolutely how it works. I'm sure there are tutorials about that elsewhere on KZbin. It's quite a fun trick. If you've got a wah, give it a try, it's fun. I'm not sure if it works with other wah pedals.

[@prozacpeople]

This is how music has to be done and check out these gorgeous blonde girls,i want to live in Holland.

[@CursedRecordingsUK]

RIP Dave Rosser. How on earth are you making your guitar do that?

[@ThomasinaAquinas]

You are correct!

[@9504212]

I dont think this is a TS song. I was under the impression it was a Martina Topley-Bird song from her album Quixotic. It was on the album and i am pretty sure she wrote it with Tricky

[@ThomasinaAquinas]

Oh how you know us well. ;) Though I never want to see him self destruct.

[@Twisttheawesome]

4:19 Dulli hit that. Damn right he did.

[@saintjabroni]

😂😂😂😂

[@santinom]

OMG this song is fucking amazing...so tough :)

[@hal9000lovesdaisy]

Is that Greg Dulli doing an impression of John Belushi again?

[@rochellepettijohn5167]

This song makes me want to drive fast.

[@tlm315]

ditto....good call im with you on that one

[@hal9000lovesdaisy]

Yes, minders1960; I probably AM being too critical.The band is great, the musicians excellent, and those helium guitar swells are catchy.I was startled to see how much weight Dulli had put on since 99. There are many roads to self destruction.

[@DinoCorvino]

Holy crap.

[@cantcny]

I have been telling people this since the 1990's.

[@olioo21]

❤❤❤

[@1andoneis3]

it would be cool if they sung it together this summer....

[@prozacpeople]

@Greghybryd For what?You are one of the girls in the video?

[@vrdub610]

Can anybody please tell me how he's making his guitar make that sound at 1:49???

[@Greghybryd]

@prozacpeople thank you :P

[@hal9000lovesdaisy]

There are moments during this video when Dulli seems to have been thinking he was the devil incarnate; mister mischevious. I think its the thing so many women find alluring about him, now in spite of his girth. The twinkle in his eye from the early Whigs days seems to have gone out, however, and Dulli seems to be reworking the same old material. How we love watching our pop stars self-destruct!

[@mikelawson5103]

Thoughtful commentary but 15 years later and he's not only alive - he's prolific as hell.

[@sampokemppainen3041]

Wait! This is not ramones... I am however not disapponted.

[@kellyhartman7266]

There's currently a pretty high payoff in clout to the person who can describe exactly how Greg Dulli (I think it's his guitarist in this -- the guy playing the SG, but Dulli has been using it for years...) does that feedback trick at about 2:00 in. Has something to do with delay and feedback and playing with the lfo I think. Tulli won't reveal the secret, but has said it involves only a delay and feedback. I think he uses the Dirty Deeds pedal.

[@GrogMindwhip]

Personally I'm more interested in how Greg Dulli can smoke, drink, play guitar and sing on stage. Maybe he IS too tough to die. Makes sense.

[@jonakridge7806]

Fuk em 4 the dislikes , not 4 everyone I f ?/ n Love this!!!

[@timcwalker]

The Twilight Singers are the best live rock band I have ever seen. Dulli is a bad bitch. This drummer (Bobby McIntyre) has moved on though, I haven't seen the new cat yet.

[@ericvandam3858]

🙃

[@prozacpeople]

@wojtek0000 YEAH!

[@022ES]

that high-pitched squealing guitar riff sounds a lot like a riff from pink floyd's "echos"

[@MegaSlick75]

Reminds me of this girl who used to let her self in and crawl into bed. Her breath smelled of bourbon and cigarettes. Amazing.

[@Baldpoodle]

That Drummer is nearly as cool as Greg.

[@gregdullirocks]

Pimpin and super-stylin

[@paperdaniel]

methadone and icecream sure do put the weight on ya. -let the power fall-

[@CaffeineDreams]

@seanmessenger Umm, Shane McGowan, anyone?

[@pamellapinto6468]

I am the girl in 4:19

[@iceisiceyeah]

that's awesome

[@pamellapinto6468]

yeah, but actually I didn't mean it literally, hahahaha. I just feel like her watching this performance :)

[@iceisiceyeah]

Pâmella Pinto ah. got ya. well, awesome you were there, greg dull=good stuff :)

[@6Daddyslittlegirl]

@masurra

[@gregdullirocks]

dulli is hot.

[@hal9000lovesdaisy]

Dulli looks like Belushi doing an impression of Dulli in this video.

[@saintjabroni]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@6Daddyslittlegirl]

@masurra or bloated huuh

[@ClaytonMar5]

Dulli is losing time, with this face of gangster, it could be acting in films about the mafia.

[@saintjabroni]

😂😂😂😂😂
