Holy shit, I was at this show. I never thought they'd debut a song in such a small venue, but I guess we were blessed. Great vid. I probably bumped into you while taking pics.

Thanks for the upload. (Why did you just upload this now, though? Do you have any other awesome Okkervil videos you're holding out on us? haha).

You've heard the whole album now thanks to the leak, I assume? :)

By the way, were you the lady who had been to like dozens Okkervil shows or whatever? I was in awe.

I didn't put it up earlier because it's a song they had only performed very few times and in front of very small audiences. If they weren't ready to perform it in front of thousands, I wasn't ready to do it for them. Now that the album has leaked I decided to up it. And, yes, I am the person who has seen dozens of Okkervil shows (it will be 47, not including 6 years of sxsw appearances, by the end of their US fall tour). I gather you are one of the "kids" I was standing next to?

[paladin8400]

That's me. :P

Once again, thanks for the upload.

great song!

can't wait till their new album :D

umm...they performed it in London on 5/20. So why is he saying they'd never played it before?

small complaint though in the scheme of things - because this song rules. :)

I knew I forgot something in the description. The date this was played was April 24. I'll add that now.
