Jens Lekman - Black Cab (live)

Jens Lekman live at Konserthuset, Gothenburg, Sweden December 11, 2003

How can this already be 20 years old?

[@racheljanehulsey]

"Oh pardon me, ma'am?" You're so polite, Jens! "Well, maybe I am, maybe I am."

[@fishbonebuba]

I totally agree. Seeing Jens live is a totally different experience. He's more expressive - more personal. I can't wait to see him again.

[@mickeymousebaby]

this is the best video on youtube, please don't ever delete it. and if you do, please send it it me :P

[@rohit275]

I dont know why you guys are calling this version bad. I think it's just as brilliant as any other version of this song. I love the mandolin.

[@listigt]

it's 5.40 am and I've been up watching Lekman videos on youtube since 3 am. How can I possibly go to sleep. Never knew his live performances were this magical(allthough this one is far from the best one I've seen here)

[@atomickiwi]

the rmandolin (especially at the beginning) gives me chills, it's so good.

[@Koshirozation]

i still can't believe this is from 2003 .....

[@iman-]

the opening of the song sounds so like...beautiful.

[@darktowersl]

can't believe he was only 22 here....!!!!!!!!

[@MoiraRussell]

Those percussionists/backup singers just knock me right out.

[@fkos86]

Jesus, this is so lovely *.*

[@joefarries]

I keep coming back for more

[@joefarries]

Thanks

[@kentmitchell9971]

Subscribed. Thanks for keeping this online.

[@dobbsiancant]

terrific version.thank you for posting.

[@noiso666]

The bass player needs to buy a tuner. His E is way out. Jens, if you read this, I am at your service here in SF, CA, as a bass player that owns a tuner and uses it. This is one of the best written songs I've ever witnessed. It would be an honor.

[@joefarries]

i still love this vid please keep it up

[@joefarries]

Best video ever..seriously brilliant.

[@kaylapowpow]

this is so lovely!

[@BeforeTheSummerEnds]

Maybe I am, maybe I am!

[@SloppyTransistors]

My favorite version of this song. The mandolin is gorgeous. He must have had a reason to censor the swears, but that's a minor thing.

[@phonyame]

lek, ur the best

[@Koshirozation]

2003!!!

[@zeppelinwho]

Think he likes Magnetic Fields?

[@DrthGrth]

I know, rite??

[@fums63]

God Damn = Pardon Me, Ma'am Haha, still a great song

[@ajmcapital]

maybe i am.........maybe i am...............

[@fums63]

@zeppelinwho Actually he does. He's covered "Yeah, Oh Yeah!"

[@Jamesbharris2]

Anyone know the mandolin tab for this?

[@budybradley]

how many people are at this concert....

[@shooshatowers8059]

He's touring again?

[@talktal]

live he kind of sounds like calvin johnson

[@joefarries]

He's a lot different than morrisey in his rhythms and lyrics.He is a bit more organic in his ideas and music.Morrisey while fantastic is about pop right now.Plus Jens plays different styles every time he plays. Morrisey is great and all but Jens is a lot more dynamic i think right now.

[@mikeydread62]

Unlike Morrissey, Jens is not a misanthrope

[@Jamesbharris2]

@MilkYAY101 Isn't it just? Mandolins are under-used in contemporary music.

[@racheljanehulsey]

@lsamoa Thanks for explaining the joke!

[@blonede]

he totally samples left banke-something on my mind

[@lsamoa]

@joshhulsey If I remember well, the original lyrics were " oh no goddamn, i missed the last tram... goddam goddam..." lol

[@Pegasus_pegs]

Just turn the music up and keep your mouth shut! 🎶

[@sandex3000]

Mycke Mycke Bra!

[@hatchbuddy]

@zeppelinwho That is exactly what I thought!

[@TallFastLoud]

too bad he had to say "Pardon me ma'am" as opposed to "Goddamn" but besides that, it's quite a good performance.

[@fastfrankblack]

he sounds quite out of tune himself quite a bit - this is almost amazing
