Libertines fans!

Pete Doherty was playing a solo gig tonight plus friends. One of said friends was Carl Barat who came out and played a few Libs songs with Pete.:p
 
Oh for God's sake :(
Libs reunion and it's in bloody London,
 
Yeah all the good gigs happen in London

the arcadian dream has all fallen through but maybe the Albion will sail once again on course.
 
I hope so :)
The Good Old Days, great song
you quite fashionably quoted it
 
I feel like such a horrible fan-finding out about this here. I wish I could be happy-but by now I could care less.
 
are you serious? carl and pete together again? i want a REAL reunion. like, i want a reunion tour and new albums. i don't think it could be the same, i just think it sounds like a cheery idea.
 
I f***ING KNOWWWWWWWWWWW!!! :D

amazingg wish i was there grrrr

f***ing london!!

anyone got any mp3s of the gig?
 
it´s all rather exciting, isn´t it?

there are videos of them playing together.. it´s really sweet!

i wonder if it´s a one off, but i could imagine it is..
 
Ace. Been waiting nearly 3 years for a Pete n Carl reunion. Unfortunately I've gone off them quite a bit, I found their second album a little disappointing. Maybe I'll rekindle my love for them now.
 
Aww. Cute. I'd like to see a Pete and Carl reunion, too. If only to put a stop to all this DPT nonsense! :p Nah, but I like Babyshambles a lot. Think Pete done good. :)
 
A good review i found:

Rumours have been flying about ever since the announcement of the two ‘Evenings with Peter Doherty’ some weeks ago. Rumours fed by press coverage of the Doherty-Barât booze-fest over Easter weekend. But rumours have been going around about possible reunions for years. And that’s what they have been. Rumours. Not to be taken seriously.

The evening began in a similar vein to the previous night. We settled in for a really lovely evening of Peter at his best joined by a number of interesting guests. A collection of songs from Left Hand frontman Alan Wass kicked things off. After joining Wass for his final number, Pete launched into a series of songs, sometimes lurching from one to the next, sometimes pausing and chatting to the audience, blagging beer (a no smoking venue, so he was not able to scrounge the usual fags).

All the while, slightly bizarrely, a painter worked on a large canvas stage right, rapidly filling in performers in shades of brown. Peter then introduced the legendary Bert Jansch, and after one duet, left Jansch to do a brilliant set alone, rejoining him to sing a poignant version of Jansch’s ‘Needle of Death’.

This was followed by more solo Doherty, and he was in good form. Sweet-voiced, breathy, lyrics accompanied by acoustic guitar. A harmonica appeared several times, but always seemed to be the wrong one for the song, so never was used. Pete never seems to be able to hold still on stage, and this was no exception. He wandered, fidgeted, folded himself up like a giant rag doll. He took his wide brimmed hat off and fanned himself and when the audience urged him to keep it off he explained that his hair was all flat and he couldn’t. Really, we wouldn’t have minded. He was charming, in good voice, and showed once again the reasons why audiences love him: he is an amazing, talented writer and performer. Songs included ‘Killamangiro’, ‘I Love You But You’re Green’, ‘Beg, Steal or Borrow’, ‘Cyclops’, ‘Back from the Dead’…..and more.

Pete then announced a special guest, Carlos Barât. The audience went wild. ‘Nah, only joking’ he said, ‘what do you expect for twenty five quid’……pause, as the audience groaned and laughed……and on walked Carl. In tight suit, tie and porkpie hat. Looking formal and a bit nervous. Pete beamed, as the crowd stood up and cheered, moving forward as much as the seated auditorium would allow. ‘Hello’, said Carl, and so began nearly an hour of magic.

From a slightly hesitant version of What a Waster to a roaring, sing along of Time for Heroes, they both relaxed into it, and began to have fun.

Highlights included a series of faux-starts to Seven Deadly Sins whilst they bickered over the time. Carl: 123, 123. Pete: 1234, 1234. Carl: no it’s 123, 123, we’ve gone over this hundreds of times……. Pete led Carl into ‘Dream A Little Dream of Me’ with, ‘Carl, I’ve been thinking……..’ and playing the intro, and Carl not only sang it, but accompanied himself with a rubbishy tap dance.

They also played ‘Good Old Days’, ‘Death on the Stairs’, ‘Tell the King’, ‘What Katie Did’, ‘France’, ‘Dilly Boys’ and ‘Don’t Look Back into the Sun’. Carl messed up words to songs he has not sung in a long time, and both fumbled sometimes with what came next….. but none of that mattered. Carried along on a wave of totally rapturous enthusiasm from the crowd, both Carl and Pete gave performances marrying past to present – and seemed to have a good time along the way.

After a brief interval (enough for a quick fag, we assumed), they reappeared to do ‘Albion’ with Carl on vocals and Mik Whitnall on harmonica, and ‘The Delaney’. Pete bowed and left the stage, leaving Carl to the last word. ‘Thanks’. And thanks to them from all of us who were privileged to be there. It was an incredibly exciting, emotional evening. Many of us witnessed something we thought might never happen. Whatever the future brings for Peter and Carl as joint performers, tonight was wonderful. It was electric, and full of joy. And it was now, tonight, not about the past, not about the future. And that was more than enough.
 
I'm a huge Libertines fan. The band that made me a music fan along with the Clash and just sort change my life around. Probably one of my favorite bands.:) I used to love Pete, but now everything that's been going on, I don't know, I still love his music, but maybe is a phase. I like Babyshambles too, I love Down in Albion. Dirty Pretty Things are good, but maybe Shambles is more my style. Nice to see them together ( I almost cry watching them in a video on the website of nme)
