This version is an instant classic

[@norwegianblue2764]

The album track is one of the best songs ever recorded. This version is pretty cool in its own right. Just appreciate it for what it is people. One of the most underrated bands ever.

[@grimsk]

That track is my most favorite song till now.

[@ronalddancaliva883]

I love this band! I found them on Spotify and listened to their music and became a fan of theirs in an instant

[@HuaynaPotosi]

I have always found this song really extraordinary. However, this version should put the song at the top. Really amazing. Congratulations from Barcelona and Quito!

[@MyBoatsTheyGo]

If you can't get behind a guy wearing a flight suit and mouthing along to the bassline he's playing, you are deaf to the music of life

[@elisoncrz]

Pretty interesting performance, although I'd prefer the album version. Also, could've sworn it was "Unless It's Kicks" but regardless, Okkervil River is 👍🏼

[@reeseting]

I don't know music, just know what I like...loved this song for 10 years, the POWER of the original, the way it rises up. The beat (I guess) on this is way to slow, needs more power more urgency. What the hell do I know, but I like the earlier version. Saw Okkervil River at Fine Line in Minneapolis, band was underrated then....music industry is TOUGH man. These guys have talent, this is one of my all time favorite songs (love Floyd, Velvet Underground, Nirvana) really think they have talent. This version-my humble opinion=just too slow intro.

[@maxjackman3747]

Agreed, there was so much force to the original; this one is still lovely, though. Their 'So come back, I'm waiting' rendition from this era is... simply brilliant. I was in a haze for days after hearing it live.

2:39 vacan la telecaster y su sonido desesperado

[@nehadlazar9995]

in my opinion this blows the album version out of the water- lead singer is really cool and the interconnectedness of the band is fun to watch. sick lyric and tune!

[@danielj.201]

Oooh nooooo.... what happened to okkervil river 😕?

[@derekg4340]

Love the original but I hate this version

[@vpsaarinen]

god this is horrid. Such a good song (and band) to begin with. Can I just reiterate: I've loved OR for a long time, this shit I dislike immensely. But it's Will's band to do what he likes. Me I'll go somewhere more interesting.

[@lacyhart2043]

Hopefully he won't kill pink slips this badly wtf

[@ellenrosenblatt5463]

can it be more boring musically?

[@turnaroundguy]

hows the cocaine? heroin?
