I saw these guys in Portland in 95. I'd never heard of em but my sis dragged me along, so glad I went. One of the best concerts I've ever been to! The WHIGS kicked my ass!
WOW. As a lifelong Supremes fan, I'm always interested in hearing other versions of their songs. This one blew me away. It's really a medley, though, with the opening to I Hear a Symphony inserted in the middle. Whatever the case, this is awesome. One of the three hit singles by the Supremes that I always considered "scary," the other two being Reflections and Love is Here and Now Your'e Gone. I'd love to hear a group like this do those two songs.
Festival is a major Dutch festival called Pinkpop (in Landgraaf, Limburg). From the top of my head it was either the 1993 or the 1994 edition that had the Afghan Whigs. I have the concert somewhere on tape and the rest was just as awesome.
The Twilight Singers had copies of a "Bootleg" from Kentucky and a "Live In Italy" DVD's at their merch booth a few years ago.I ended up with them off of ebay. Dulli/Twilight Singers kill it on both, my favorite being the Kentucky one. Highly recommended...
Gee, this is an oldie and a goodie in many different incarnations and dimensions. I guess i better like it! Greg Dulli always displaying why at that moment in time he was the coolest rockstar of the era!
La pasión y el desgarro de la voz de Dulli... La tensión de la música... Estas versiones bastardeadas de las Supremes... Hubo un momento en el que Afghan Whigs fueron el grupo más apasionante del mundo
BTW- Twilight does "My Curse" w/Marcy Mays AND Curly playing bass on the Louisville DVD. The lighting of the show isn't so great, but the songs more than make up for it. Let me know how it goes for you...
Yeah for some reason Dulli keeps delaying the lines in the verse, still great though. They didn't play this the one and only time I got to see them in Birmingham. Great band - cheers whigsbitch

Another sidenote.... I recorded on that ACTUAL drumkit a decade later at the Ultrasuede studios where the bass player John Curley recorded our band.
What a great person.....This type of people we ll miss in a few years

Dulli is The King of Covers.

I had forgotten how much I loved these guys, thank for reminding me!
Epic. Wish I'd been there, love that song!
"You are young and relatively beautiful"
i saw them 6 times in the States this year! always great! Dulli does not let down!
I wanna reach this level of coolness in my life
"Your young... and relatively beautiful...let's go!"
lolz
Greg and Rick sharing a little 'dynamite hack' onstage, that's badass
Masterful. Sublime. Whigsmagic..
the best band EVER!!!!!
Mesmerizing. A perfect cover.
The biggest and the best!!!!

Isn't it Pukkelpop in Belgium?
my world is empty w/o such music everyday...
He still is.
Great cover and such a cool performance
whigsbitch, you're my fucking hero. This stuff is great....MANY thanks for making this rainy day kick absolute ass.
Still very good !
"you're young and relatively beautiful"
lol

my world is empty without such music...
Transmutation: Yes vs. America. Devo vs. Satisfaction. This Afghan Whigs cover is… Supreme.
This is the stuff of legends
OOOOOH I love this song :)
God, I miss you anyway...
Gee, this is an oldie and a goodie in many different incarnations and dimensions. I guess i better like it! Greg Dulli always displaying why at that moment in time he was the coolest rockstar of the era!
soulman!!!
Best band i've ever seen at Pinkpop
they are the greatest and they slay this song so well. Greg Dull is fucking cool. Love this version
Nice.
Up there with Nirvana, Mudhoney but also 70's classic outfits!
FUCKING BAD ASS.
sweet
He OWNED this song.... love the whigs
"everything"....
delicious!
Greg Orzabelle Dulli - the acronym says it all.

i'm mean, absolutely amazing!
fuck ya...........dreamy
totalnie zajebisty kawałek
I posted it before and I'll say it again: they are supposedly reuniting this fall to make some new songs. Stay tuned...
Thanks for the leads, I'll try to find them.
Thanks whigsbitch, I agree, this band is the fucking GREATEST!
the good kind!!! ;-)
Killer band. Rick was an amazing guitar player. Does he still play at all?
Are there any DVD's available or CD's that include videos?
BTW- Twilight does "My Curse" w/Marcy Mays AND Curly playing bass on the Louisville DVD. The lighting of the show isn't so great, but the songs more than make up for it. Let me know how it goes for you...
@9b1alldaii
Good question...I was thinking the same thing myself.
Did any catch what kind of cigarette Greg Dulli and Rick McCollum were passing to each other?
it's time to shake those butts! you're young and relatively beautiful. Let's go!
how would someone go about tracking down an mp3 of this?
you're young and relatively beautiful :)
spock on the drums?
Yeah for some reason Dulli keeps delaying the lines in the verse, still great though. They didn't play this the one and only time I got to see them in Birmingham. Great band - cheers whigsbitch
anyone have "DELTA KONG"?
thats a great rare whigs song.
Is Greg still doing stuff these days?
Its a shame he didn't perform with deus
AgelessDrifter is a sad, little boy.
the guitarist is smoking a joint ? lol
