  On October 30, 1998, The Afghan Whigs performed live on the television show "Later..." in London, showcasing their distinctive blend of rock, soul, and alternative influences at a time when they were riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album "Gentlemen," released in 1993, and its follow-up, "Black Love," from 1996. By this point in their career, they were recognized for their bold sound and emotive lyrics, solidifying their cult following. The performance featured "Uptown Again," a track that resonates with the band's signature storytelling style. Interestingly, this era marked a transitional period for the band, as they were on the brink of their eventual breakup in 2001, making live recordings from this time particularly significant in capturing the essence of their evolving sound. The performance on "Later..." stands out as a testament to their dynamic stage presence, further contributing to their legacy in the alternative rock scene.
