The Brits flipped their lids last night when Carl Barat joined Pete Doherty for 12 Libs songs and a Mama Cass & The Mamas And Papas cover during the An Evening With Pete Doherty show at the Hackney Empire. NME clearly (and understandably) was (hotly) tipped off to the event, offering up a breathless liveblog (sample entry: “Carl said ‘hello.’ He’s home!”), which makes the sly-fan quality of the resultant vid a headscratcher. Find some of it here, and “Tell The King” and “Don’t Look Back Into The Sun” below. Still debating if that Doherty duet is as entertaining as this was.
Carl and Pete’s setlist after the jump.

Pete’s most famous ‘bird’ was Kate Moss ... (Amy Winehouse with emphysema allegedly as a result of smoking crack, Carl Barat with pancreatitis caused by heavy drinking, and Doherty’s songwriting partner Mick Whitnall, having overdosed on heroin).
It's been just shy of three years since Pete Doherty released an album ... while 'Campaign Of Hate' shows that while it was always scrappy, Pete and Carl Barat's guitar interplay was more intricate than they're ever given credit for.


































those are fan videos. nme took them from the libs forum.
I enjoy the libs but I also enjoy NME being unhappy. What to do, what to do..
FYI, Dream a Little Dream of Me is not a Mama Cass song originally. It was written in the 1930′s.
i think the Libertines were the purest, best rock & roll band in years
aw.
OMG! *splooge* etc.
Seriously though, if this becomes a full-time thing it’s probably a bad idea. Never go back and all that.
This makes me unbearably happy. Aw, bless.
magical
BEST NIGHT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE THIS WAS.
LIBS FOREVER!
so coooollll, makes me very happy, but i hope Dirty Pretty Things keeps going, i really like them…….
Doherty’s a mong.
Pure Magic. Magical Happiness is all I’m feeling right now.
I hope this is the start of a lengthy reunion, but I doubt it.
