Venue: Haldern Pop Festival Location: Haldern, NRW, Germany Date: August 11, 2012

On August 11, 2012, The Afghan Whigs performed at the Haldern Pop Festival in Germany, shortly after reuniting in 2012 for a series of performances following a lengthy hiatus since their breakup in 2001. This live recording features the song "When We Two Parted," a track from their 1993 album, "Gentlemen," which is celebrated for its deep emotional resonance and intricate songwriting. The band's reunion marked a significant chapter in their career, as it not only revitalized interest in their earlier work but also paved the way for new music. Subsequently, they released their album "Do to the Beast" in 2014, showcasing their evolved sound while maintaining the authentic intensity that defined their earlier efforts. The performance at Haldern exemplified the band's enduring appeal and ability to connect with audiences, reaffirming their status as a pivotal band in the alternative rock scene.
