The Afghan Whigs

On October 5, 2012, The Afghan Whigs performed at the Music Hall of Williamsburg during their reunion tour, marking a significant return after a long hiatus since their breakup in 2001. Prior to this live recording, the band had released their influential album "1965" in 1998, which solidified their position in the alternative rock scene of the ’90s with its blend of soul and grunge. Interestingly, the reunion tour celebrated their legacy and introduced new audiences to their music while allowing longtime fans to revisit classic tracks. The performance of "Summer's Kiss," a standout from "Gentlemen," showcases the band's ability to merge heartfelt lyrics with powerful instrumentation, highlighting both their past achievements and renewed energy in their live shows. This concert was part of a broader effort to reconnect with fans and reignite the band's creative spirit after over a decade apart.
