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.

01 “What A Waster”

    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.

  6. OMG! *splooge* etc.

    Seriously though, if this becomes a full-time thing it’s probably a bad idea. Never go back and all that.

  7. This makes me unbearably happy. Aw, bless.

    Doherty’s a mong.

  12. 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.
