Okkervil River "Westfall"

[@pringasiello]

I cant watch this over and over again and never get over how amazing it is

[@Khorunzhiy2010]

One of the best live videos. And the most live Westfall!

[@ruffryderonline]

Such an amazing song and performance. Thanks for the post.

Saw them last night at the Wise Hall. They were great

[@HeartbreakingBravery]

That show was the best show I've seen in my life (Barrymore). And that's saying something.

[@unmemorablehero]

Life....is better because of this.....

[@river750777]

Favorite version of this song.

[@superwomAnn987]

[@championofidiots]

2:44 Sent chills down my spine.

[@QuintinSarren]

Its a shame they don't play this song live anymore because people kept asking them to 'play the song about killing the chicks'

[@omiewise]

fun how he starts to play "paint it black" as a solo on the mandolin after he sings the "paint it black" lyrics.

[@SacrilegeGamingGodz]

UGH! This song oh my fucking God this song.

[@usyanks]

badass video!

[@IfIWereACow]

I would have given anything to be at that show. Gawd.

[@cmcmahan72]

I like the "Paint it Black" lyrics thrown in there.

[@oksanathescapegoat2300]

Love!

[@pringasiello]

THEY ARE SIMPLY A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

[@dogwalk3]

will literally made me realize i'm into guys too. him & sufjan.

[@TurtleUnion42]

I completely agree with @jesusismothra, to me this is the essence of rock and roll. Everything about this video is so intense--the song, the subject, the performance. I've never seen Will Sheff half-ass a performance. If you want polish and pretension, go to the opera, this is a rock show.

[@kiwithe3]

Will worked for the state of Texas at that time? He was 15 years old in 1991..

[@chrisn870]

don't shoot the messenger: on one live version, will sheff starts out with, "so some legislators in texas make a naked pyramid..."

[@badofcheese]

Don't mind me, just going to go ahead and press favourite.

[@ripelivejam]

3:31 moment is chilling

[@dwest10]

@TurtleUnion42 I think people that have seen them live understand what Will does on stage, but if I was trying to decide whether to see them for the first time and watched their videos on youtube, I would feel the same way as SuperRiscal. Their live performances do not translate well to video.

[@AJandWrmyinitials]

3:49 is so cool

[@TheDango2012]

search "interview with will sheff westfall" should be first result

[@perarnevik3023]

how old is this concert?

[@ThisMuelliGuy]

how do you you know your version is true, not eviland's?

[@SuperRiscal]

For me, this song/performance is enough to turn you off a great band.
