THE LIBERTINES BLOW UP, LONDON, 1999

[@rebeccah.4983]

Carl looks like young Oscar Wilde here.

[@TaAviram]

Or Dave Davies

[@mcawesome4150]

He always looked like wilde imo

[@DigitalDaffodil]

Any wonder why Doherty idolised him

[@guusmul8704]

Pete and Carl are nice and all but John is the real badass

[@flynnnicolaou]

[@flynnnicolaou]

@@AlbionToArcadia Oh, i didn't know about them before now

[@einalteshemd]

yeah dude, he looks like a member of the velvet underground or something

[@realsinisterminister]

He left the band and then rang them back when they got a record deal.....Carl put him in his place after that and he did what he was told and stayed out the spotlight!....or so the story goes...makes sense though doesn't it?cause here he is very much part of the front row

[@hereandthere1204]

It's crazy how tight and focused Pete is in these early shows-- in tune, in rhythm, with a piercing and sweet quality to his voice...

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Wow, Peter before drugs! Never seen this, excellent to watch. I like the higher key.

[@doctornov7]

Carl said in the Bystanders doc that Peter was always the 'taskmaster' in those days: driven, focused and relentless in his pursuit of songwriting prowess and band success. Peter's new book also sheds new light on that, confirming this fact.

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

Super sweet

[@jeepmccann752]

Why do people always say the Libertines were a copycat English version of the strokes when they'd written most of their songs before the strokes even released their first album?

[@gordonramsdale]

I have never heard anyone say that

[@yuqijiang5903]

Perhaps cause some of the songs in their 1st album did aim at following the trend of the likes of the strokes, but they have their own sounds, of course. They didn't sound like the strokes, they were better than the strokes in some other perspectives, though they did copy a few.

[@simonfirth5838]

They said that 20 years ago

[@angkari7244]

Strokes debut album came out first, a year before the Libs one

[@gordonramsdale]

@@angkari7244 but there are live performances of the libs playing those songs years before

[@CayleBrekka]

This version is definitely the best I've ever heard of Music When the Lights Go Out. The harmonies are fantastic. Better than the album.

[@bkneezy]

I'm surprised they had 'Music when the lights go out' in 1999. Always thought it was written in direct response to he break down of their relationship between the first 2 albums....

[@bobbyneeds]

Look up 'Legs 11' demo - MWTLGO + many others were written long before they were even signed by Rough Trade - let alone in between albums.

[@bkneezy]

@@bobbyneeds This taints the album 'the libertines' slightly. Next you'll be telling me 'can't stand me know' was written in 98

[@bkneezy]

I suppose it's obviously not about each other with lyrics like 'girl i thought i know has gone'.

[@mrbb06]

Pretty sure Peter wrote MWTLGO whilst still at school in Nuneaton - think I read that in the hound together book by Anthony Thornton

[@goodtogo2876]

there was a fair bit of marketing involved with the selftitled ablum, make no mistake about it. The Label and the band knew what they were doing.

Ah man this band should of been huge. Never lived up to their full potential, could of been because of many things. But never the less I love them and the effect their music has had on my life. One of my highlights bumping into Pete in London in 2010 and playing his guitar while he sang this very with me.

[@SeleneRulingTheMoon]

The touched the top but maybe they will get a second chance in. 2024, in the era of making things viral...they should be on the radio non stop.

What people need to remember here is that by '99, Britpop had shot its bolt and we were still a couple of years off that garage rock/indie rock revival thing. What inhabited that void in between was like shite bands like Gomez and Gay Dad, or later that pussy NAM thing. Would loved to have been aware of this back in '99!

[@hannah6034]

Yeah this sound and image is SO out of step for 99 it’s kind of hilarious and I love them for it. Music was awful then, travis and jamorquai also topping the charts lest we forget. It’s quite incredible Pete had a song of this calibre knocking about that early. But they needed to start playing faster and wearing the leather jackets to get attention in 02
