Forgot how much I fucking love this band tbh

Yeah me too mate. Been listening to the Babyshambles sessions. They're the bestest.

I have a shitload of rare stuff I should turtle really. All the early radio sessions in perfect quality and early demos like Pay The Lay, Smashing and stuff. The "monitor mixes" from the 2nd album are class too. The version of The Delaney with em both singing is so big.

You should definitely get them up ffs haven't heard those.

Heard the babyshambles sessions, obviously

Yeah, I think most people have heard those and chicken shack and the other one.

This stuff was turtleed a bit later off Pete's laptop or something. Some big shit in there. The radio sessions are A1 quality. I had in shit quality before some random turtleed them.

Ah his laptop stuff...I had them for a while, but lost them in a reformat

Fucking hell, the Reading set was just brilliant. Reminded me just how much I love The Libertines and why I do. Brought back so many good memories and basically had me tingling all the way through. The bird, not a massive fan of Pete, had her jibes throughout, saying he looked "wrecked" and "a mess" but I politely pointed out that it didn't fucking matter because as a collective unit, they sounded great.

Hope they stick around and do another album. You could see that Pete & Carl are still very much in love (not in a gay way) and seeing them all hug and stuff at the end of the gig was great.

They should have just had a massive kiss like we all wanted tbh.

I watched the Reading set last night and it was immense!

A few people been telling me that reviewers have been saying they've lost there 'edge', probably just because they wanted Pete to crawl on stage with a needle hanging out of his arm and then for it to be a disaster.

I thought the were tight without losing their roughness. They just looked fucking on it.

Where are you fucko's watching the Reading set? iPlayer?

Yes mate, the whole thing is on there.
