Okkervil River Never Dissapoints

Last night Okkervil River played Webster Hall, the second of their two night stay there. This is the first time I've seen them in over a year, and they've released "the Stage Names" album since. On stage Will Sheff gave it his all, like usual. I thought the setlist was a little slow, but good none the less. I absolutely loved how they opened the show, changing "The President's Dead" and then going into "Black." Incredible. The rest of the set is after the jump.

Another Radio Song

Of course, there were songs ("O, Dana," in particular) I wanted them to perform and they didn't. But that happens pretty much with every band and every show that I go to.
