@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.

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.

@SuperRiscal what the fuck are you talking about? it was a performance like this that got me to love okkervil river. i grew up a metalhead and hated music like this because the pretension oozed from the songwriter's pores. then i saw okkervil river in 2007 in iowa city and it changed my entire outlook on music. the raw emotion, pure energy and getting so caught up in a moment is more metal or punk than any band i was listening to...and okkervil did it with an acoustic guitar and an accordion.

i agree. i really, really love this band, but i find will sheff's stage antics pretty tiresome.

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

That's not true in the slightest. When Will worked for the state of Texas he picked up some grisly details that weren't released to the public about the "yogurt shop murders" when some people were randomly murdered in a yogurt shop - and their wounds were pushed open and filled with frozen yogurt. Will saw one of the people that did its face in the paper and that image stuck with him because he looked like a nice upstanding citizen- he saw no evil on his face and that stuck with him Look it up
