William Powers

And on to the Libertines.

An emotional start of projections from the good old days set the tone for this simply brilliant performance. There was a little wobble from Pete after two songs when he realised the enormity of the show he was in - he looked terrified, legged it off stage and after Carl ran after him and dragged him back with a fag and a drink he was fine.
Kicking off as usual with 'Horrowshow', the gig was heartfelt and it was clear the boys were doing it for much more than just the money. A giddy, coy smile here and a man hug there showed that Carl and Pete have let by-gones be by-gones and they are ready to move off that horrible road of self-destruction. I was touched to the core by the love shown on stage and the emotion seeping out of each and every band member. A nice long group hug at the end pulled at everyone's heartstrings and left everyone completely humbled.

A simply wonderful performance.
