Okkervil River

Okkervil River was in a vibrant phase of their career during the live recording of "Plus Ones" on July 5, 2006, in Amsterdam. This performance came shortly after the release of their acclaimed album *Black Sheep Boy* in 2005, which marked a significant turning point for the band. With its lush arrangements and emotive storytelling, this album not only showcased their artistic growth but also captured a wider audience's attention. Interestingly, the song “Plus Ones” is a standout track that reflects Will Sheff's introspective songwriting, weaving personal narratives with universal themes. This live session emphasizes the raw emotion and energy typical of Okkervil River’s performances, bridging studio sophistication with the spontaneity of live music – a blend that fans have come to love. It’s these moments, like the one captured in Amsterdam, that truly highlight the band’s connection with their audience.
