In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos.

Description: Amos Lee performed for Googlers in Mountain View songs from his album Mission Bell on May 11, 2011. About Mission Bell: "On his fourth album, Mission Bell, Amos Lee decided to take his time to get it right. The result of that deliberation could be a career-defining album. Mission Bell strays from the traditional singer-songwriter mold. R&B grooves, country twang and rock energy give the album a fuller sound without sacrificing any intimacy. In an album filled with guitars, organ and pedal steel guitar, though, the best instrument is still Lee's voice. Bob Dylan uses lyrics to weave complex narratives into this songs; Amos Lee can do the same by singing a single note. His soulful vocals are as soft and smooth as elegant silk. Perhaps the greatest testament to Lee's prowess is the fact that he is never overshadowed by the guest musicians. Lee is paired with some of the best troubadours in the business -- Sam Beam on "Violin," Lucinda Williams on "Clear Blue Eyes" and Willie Nelson on "Behind Me Now" -- but manages to outshine them all. That accomplishment is a sign that Lee has transitioned from a folk singer with a Motown voice to a fully rounded musician." --Glide Magazine
