Okkervil River - Live Performance of 'Westfall' at Botanique, Brussel

Venue: L’Orangerie du Botanique Location: Sint-Joost-ten-Noode / Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium Date: November 25, 2011

In November 2011, when Okkervil River performed live at Botanique in Brussels, they had recently released their sixth studio album, *I Am Very Far*, earlier that year. This album, noted for its experimentation with musical styles and deeper lyrical content, showcased the band's growth and ambition. The live recording of "Westfall," a standout track from *I Am Very Far*, highlights the band's signature blend of folk rock and indie pop, as well as their ability to convey emotional depth in a live setting. The performance in Belgium also underscores Okkervil River's increasing international appeal, having toured extensively in Europe during this period. Notably, frontman Will Sheff’s charismatic stage presence and the band's tight musicianship contribute to a compelling concert experience, marking a significant moment in their evolving discography.
