Pete Doherty - Albion - Glastonbury 2008

[rogerthedodger55]

@Alembic905 you sir are a total cunt..you may never hear a better song performed live...i was there and was ready to slag him but the show he put on was a total mind shake...x

[yaryarr1]

this was actually mesmerizing.

[Bananamamajama]

Does anyone know what guitar hes got? it looks and sounds gorgeous

[TheBowmore1779]

@Bananamamajama

It is a Gibson EJ 160, the same as George Harrison and John Lennon of The Beatles used for many recordings and their early live performances. Greetings from Germany

[JordanMortonHampson]

9 people have never heard of albion

[tglew1]

he dedicated the song to carl! LOVE

[blackyfuchsberger]

he s so cute!

[nathsafc123]

Instant crowd pleaser.

[jodiecus]

the bloke is a genius, please god get off the crack!!

[Radz117]

It's a shame the majority of The Libertines' fans are self satisfying, self righteous, prententious snobs from Brighton or London.

[colinwwk]

FU*KING BRILLIANT 

[rogerthedodger55]

i was working there and caught this gig on time off, amazing show, changed my whole idea about the man, loved it

[onegallant]

@rogerthedodger55 I wish everyone who likes music but dislikes this man just gave him at least half a chance like you.....he would be a much bigger artist if the press had of just gave him a break!

[rogerthedodger55]

@onegallant sorry for massive delay...good shout n true..artists of this mans obvious talent r so fragile, the press and such only add to the stress..and..and...and

[samuelgrant10]

best song he's done

[777camry777]

Thanks for the video, it's an amazing scene!

[RetroGuy5000]

brings back so many memories of when i was there watching him what a performance thanks peter your a legend!

[rodnisimo]

Never heard of im, but I'm an instant fan, in Albion California.

[bevyk777]

@rodnisimo Hi! Somehow we (the US) missed out on the whole Libertines - then Babyshambles and Dirty Pretty Things ride. I'll never figure that out! Hope you have looked up and listened to more since you watched this.... Best lyrics, music and hope for rock and roll in a loooong time! You are in for some serious FUN catching up with these guys! Shouting out from Maryland!

[doobiescoo1]

@bevyk777 So true,..most of the US missed those great bands,....but not me thankfully. A Shout back from Charleston,SC. All the best to you.

[beauceron]

@bevyk777 Because everyone was listing to songs about bitches & hos. It's tough for good rock to swim upstream against the tide of shit we have.

[bevyk777]

@beauceron Hi! I hear ya! I think you just explained why when I found this great music, I clung onto it like a life raft in that tide!

[HMettle]

Anyway.

If you wake up, if you do sleep and you do wake up

and the fields of avalon are open for you

and all arcady is upon you (??)

then maybe whistle this for yourself

right, this song is called "albion"

[meganisashambles]

this man is a genius.

[JHDELIVERY22]

Peter is a legend :)

[LiveForever1927]

Simply amazing.

[abbieianson]

he's absolutely unreal!

[toddface1]

i love him so much <3 x

[doobiescoo1]

Man, there is a Gibson just like that at the pawn shop down the road,....they want 900.00 dollars for it though. Anyone know what year and model it is? Thanks

[jester8888888]

Buy it!

[warx182]

It is 1961 Gibson J-160E

John Lennon and George Harrison used this one.

[Purejedi93]

Best performance I saw at glastonbury 2008.. well maybe reverend and the makers at left field were better.. but only by a margin.. This performance was just utterly beautiful in every aspect of beauty! Roll on 2010. :)

[jewbelle]

He Gives me Goose Bumpss (:

peteee<3

[5hits2009]

me to

[sartrevski]

Could someone write down what does he say? except the dedicate to carlos.

[anna5059]

was sagt er am anfang?

[Nicirichti]

irgendwie, dass mit dem Managment etwas nicht in ordrung was, deshalt ist er zuspät gekommen.. (oder so in der art) und dass er den Song an alle widmet, die QPR Fans sind(fussball) und an seine Bandmitglieder.

[drjohnporno]

ich bin ein berliner

[scfcMountford]

fantasic

[petwin12]

yhe sound is perfect...amazing !!!

[StufiK]

Its Delay...

[000iamtherain]

[164man]

[Drinksomegin]

Reverb , isn't it ?

[art3fr33]

DIVINO

[soehindro]

Best night ever

[putyourdukesupchris]

what pedal does he use for the intro? Sounds amazing, delayed?

[jordyn1089]

i feel ive caught one or two of his diseases just from watching this...

great job petah!

[friendofthedevil]

such romantic ideas are basically bullshit, but he sure makes a person into a dreamer.

It's so corny--Albion and Arcady. Or no, not corny, just picturesque and beautiful.

[imalovedrunk]

not much of a fan of pete but this blew me away such a great song rock on pete

[Purejedi93]

I was there, Bloody AMAZING :)

[kehoe123451]

amazing... would give a nut to have been there... he and carlos need to tour

[5hits2009]

an too have wrote this at such a young age...........most musicians will never ever rite a song half as good as the lyrics in this bad boi! amazing!

[5hits2009]

such an amazing tune and this is a heavy version!!! the geezer is pure class.....

[kalaberga]

Pure magic.

Pete you're a legend <3

[5hits2009]

how can so many people hate him, when he so obviusly a legend??

[babydoherty]

Wonder Genius! Long live Peter Doherty!

[YIDARMY4lyf]

great night

[MisterMongoMan]

brilliant night - brings back great memories

[klewdubpromo]

i was there fuckin brilliant

[klewdubpromo]

i was there off my tits and it fuckin blew my mind

[JackieWild]

"I'd like to dedicate this one to everyone that supports QPR... Buuuuuhhhhhhhhh.... yeah, so myself basically.." LOL

Its lovely how he dedicated it to the whole band and Carl <3

Pete has such aura and magic about him.. I cant understand how some ppl can hate him...

[M1K3R0LPH]

was at glastonbury, intended to see him but was too wrecked, oww dear. not this year

[alistairproductions]

im thrilled to know that wherever i am practicing, strumming my guitar, this man is playing too, somewhere. a brilliant, poetic voice being heard across the globe - doesn't get more inspiring than that

[oasarse]

how do u no hes playing at the same time as u

[alistairproductions]

haha good point actually, but the fact that he could be

[RetroGuy5000]

was there and loved it pete rocked

[ttaavi]

I tend to cry everytime I watch this video... I can't believe I was there, I came all the way from Finland just to see Peter. That gig was epic, I've never cried so much yet been so happy at the same time.

[hickyglasto]

he was soo amazing :)

and i met him after that performance at GLASTO and he signed my guitar :) soo happYYYYY!!!!!!

xx

[morrisa2]

aww you're so lucky! Was he nice? :-)

[joeysasickciant]

thats sick petes rockin the wellies aka "gumboots" in aus ,he should have played when jayz was on at glasto so then i could have seen him, im only now starting to appreciate his music instead of the crackhead portrayed by the media

[KDoc21]

best albion ive ever heard

[CharleneWilde]

Oh I'd like to relive that night..

[pembo18]

I HATE Doherty, but I do love this song.

I'll give the lad credit for it

[sk4gtrendy]

You can't possibly compare alex turner to pete doherty. i love the monkeys and their songs are awsome but theres only so much of listening about hookers and getting pissed in a council estate you can take. pete analyses philosophy, history, love. his lyrics have much more depth and meaning than turner is capable of. Pete is a true poet!

[oxygen00]

please help me.

what is he saying after "I'd like to dedicate..." until "Carlos Barat"?

[Directionsforuse]

not sure

he says adam ficek in there, who is the drummer of babyshambles

[pembo18]

every one of you who supports QPR

[thearcadiaindream]

he didicates it to the whole band as he saays tthere names individually

[oxygen00]

Thank you very much!

I'm sorry but

can i ask what QPR is?

[pembo18]

Queen's Park Rangers

[oxygen00]

Thanks!!

now I understand whay they're booing.

It was a football club's name.

[superleenaylor]

Queens Park Rangers , football team.

[bennyu]

I'd like to dedicate this to Mik Witnall, Drew mcconnell, adam ficek and carlos barat.

[oxygen00]

I didn't notice your responces until now.

sorry to be late to say but

Thank you very much, everyone!!

It's very kind of you<3

[deadmandanny88]

@oxygen00 Sorry if u have already been answered but he just names the memebers of babyshambles, mik, drew and adam.

[Directionsforuse]

Pete is a genius. absolute genius

better lyricist than alex turner

but alex turner is fucking good an'all

[mfc20]

nah from middlesbrough actually:) anyway, IMO turners lyrics are streets ahead compared to doherty. turners cooler than doherty anyway, no argument even needed. lyricist since lennon, give your head a shake. to the cunt above, alright then, go and lick pete dohertys crack stained balls you muppet

[ceaszxcv]

is pete still using drugs

[mfc20]

yeah course

[davidnes88]

alex turner analyzes modern society, but doherty is an amazing poet and lyricist and he is off class a drugs, or at least nowhere near as bad as he was.

he is a legend, without pete doherty and the libertines, i doubt there would be an alex turner in our music world.

[darrenhowell91]

that is a great true comment

[RandyMarsh3000]

@davidnes88 They are both my own personal heroes. Such briliant artists

[ceaszxcv]

i think hes off class a drugs

[morrisa2]

aww good for him! Was he clean here?

[setmeabean]

dno about cleann but he sounds like he is sober during the performance because when he talks he sounds like the pete of old

[morrisa2]

ahh okay! Thanks!

[thegorb99]

piss off mfc u wanker and another thing boro r shite.Gon the rangers

[mfc20]

youre a cock, shut up and come back when u have a proper argument not some immature shite like this. up the boro

[thegorb99]

I wasnt tryin 2 start an arguement u fucking knob.

[dannybefc]

I have had this argument with a lot of people. Petes alrite, but Alex turners Lyrics r just brilliant. the way he analyses modern day society. he gets it spot on like. . . . don't get me wrong petes good, but no were near alex like.

[mfc20]

spot on dan, point ive been trying to make. as for thegorb, you are a prick stop embarassin yourself

[mfc20]

orite then dickhead acting hard over youtube, jsut look at you lmao cascada? at least put a respectable trance/house/electro artist in. electro is quality, but cascada is a joke, but nothing on this jerk. as for indie, alex turner and liam fray are streets ahead of this freak. turner sh1ts all over doherty, everyday of the week. oh and he doesnt touch junk

[spazymague]

Mate if you dont like it why are you watching it? you fucking idiot. music wouldn't be music to me if pete doherty wasn't in it. so go fuck a electro record in your bedroom you two bob cunt;)

[JLSXXX]

hes cool fuck what people say.

[johanssonjesper]

Perfection

[mfc20]

cockney gyppo cunt i genuinely hope he gets battered in the street the deluded druggy fuck. deserves to be bottled when he comes to boro

[xNatNat1990x]

amazing song !! makes me proud to be english this does :-)

[mishyfunk]

love you pete!

[Kimberino]

the song writer of a generation. Long Live Pete!!

[ConorLovesChelsea]

What a legend!

[PSK182]

he sounds better than ever now.

pete doherty

[PortugalTheAccount]

It's a shame that when you put 'Pete Doherty' in youtube, videos of drug scandals and prison come up before the music.

There is something wrong with that.

Pete is a genius musician, he needs to be judged by that, not his personal life.

[04collins]

true

[deathhippy]

@PortugalTheAccount uno it is quite a shame because he did play some very good music,.. but he was as worlds 100 most shocking moments put it ...a much more successful drug addict then musician. not saying that his music was bad. just he was much more famous for drugs

[PortugalTheAccount]

@deathhippy Because thats what people look for. if people paid more attention to the music they would see he really is a breathing legend.

[Hugoow16]

i want an solo album..

[DirtyDecember]

crazy man with an unbelieveble skill

best songwriter on earth!

[viajanteconverse]

I was there, very near the stage. I was lucky to see the best gig of Glastonbutry 2008.

[DaylightFading]

jesse, people like your video!!

i think ilike this version of albion better than the recorded one...

[IndieVidual2008]

No he supports QPR- Queens Park Rangers

[chadsgal08]

i love this man - so much is said about him but no one can deny he is a great musician and song writer

[jamesgooner]

i thought pete was a west ham fan?

[lookingforRobHolmes]

Peter is the best. It was an amazing night.

[KDoc21]

this is the best version of this song ive heard...pete sounds inspired

[onatu1982]

It is so much fun to watch Peter perform!

[Heroinclown]

playing it for ficek and carlos baraat.. ='(

[purdy1985]

im so tempted to head up and see old pete at loch lomond tomorow, it has to be done, that version of albion has got me in the mood for a good gig

[Biloshamble]

aww, amazing!!!! really, amazing performance!

[R9OEY]

i love this song and this is the best performance i have seen i think:) keep up the magnificant work peter

[KDoc21]

cant get enough of this show...all of it...amazing

[electrofunkdisaster]

Wow this is realy realy good, why am I kind of suprised? Over on the other side of the world we have escaped the pete hype and shiz so its kinda nice.

[Kelbell58]

I'm not surprised by the great performance, but I do agree that its good to be a fan here in the US. We dont have to hear or see all the tabliod propaganda. We can just sit back and enjoy the music. I wish he would play over hear live.

[wgoco]

kel...well sed, pal...petie wood probably luv to play there but...mind, as he noted in vid...he wasn't sure wot day he was supposed to be there !!

[Kelbell58]

;-) True. Its a long trip and there are many distraction between here and there.....

[liiiiiilly]

This was probably the best moment of my life.

No word of a lie :]

[phillmo182]

a sober pete, so much better and charming musically and personally

[mods6all9over]

fuck, I love his music soooo much.

[georginareena]

aw he is such an amazing performer (:

[douggie22]

aww i went to see kol then i was to wrecked to walk up the park

[Albion07room]

for Carlitos Barat,,

[andsteril]

don't know about him being a musical genius but this was a lot better than i thought he could do

[Freej77]

he is a genious! trust me!

[chadhalfwit]

you should have been there fella, i was. first time ive seen him and he was immense, believe me. sure hes never going to be a brilliant guitarist but theres more to music than technical abillity. besides, the dropped and dead notes add to his accessability and all round charm ...

[SallySophistication]

I was fucking there, i left the kings of leon early to see this and it was fucking worth it. the kids a natural entertaner regardless of what any pretenious cunt says

[stephen121]

what did he say at the start about the fields and arcady or something sounds so nice post it please

[Lust0fTheLibertines]

if you wake up, if you do sleep and you do wake up and the fields of avalon are all before you and all arcady is upon you then maybe whistle this to yourself, right this song is called albion....

[TheYoufinAsia]

Lovely version.

[chadhalfwit]

the unforgivable problem with pete is just how easy he makes it look, the mans a 24 carat gold genius......

[ilpatonna]

roberto fauss gay

[evowoods]

Why watch it then you wanker

[IHateTheBBC]

what i like about pete is, he feels like the best mate you never met.

[amancalledadam]

iLike

[thekookylondonlover]

Glastonbury 2008, The Park, Pete Doherty!!

[justthatchapLC]

[webster1091]

God x

[mclougl1]

Thank you so much for posting this. Pete's performance at Glasto this year was nothing short of legendary. In a set of highlights, this was THE highlight!

[PortugalTheAccount]

...and this ladies and gents, is why Pete Doherty will go down in history.

Pure fucking genius.

[drillingjosh]

it's not our business to tell him drugs or no drugs, he's only an entertainer, a muse, it's our responsibility to be insipired by -whatever- he's doing or whatever form he's in. do what you think pete

[kdub10009]

I'm with you, drillingjosh. Junkie or not, who the hell are we to judge? Enjoy his music and don't judge. Personally i wouldn't think any less of him if he shot up right on stage, as long as he put on a good performance.

[killerkarpfen90]

great gig!!! wish i would have been there!

[marktheshark24]

i saw him and was blown away expected a fucking junkie wreck

[GirInAlbion]

sweet junkie boy!!!!!

[WorkingClassLize]

He isn't a junkie anymore.

[daniscott]

he's sensational

[lorrypants]

i was there and he was amazing, i hate all you fake pricks who says hes crap and a druggie, so what if he does drugs hes an absolute musical genius and has more talent in his little finger than any of his critics

[35iqand14m3r]

and great singer..

[35iqand14m3r]

great guitar. .

[lookingforRobHolmes]

ROB HOLMES, Glastonbury 2008, The Park, Pete Doherty, i need to find you! Im "Belle"!! haha

[bootyshakerzz]

Is he clean ? Is he a user ? Pete , would be loaded mate , coke , crack and smack . Not too fucked , but just enough to give him a fair edge ... You can tell coz of the grime and paste on his face ...He will die if he doesnt go clean x

[Chr5843]

FUcking pusher..

[myles1991]

does anyone know if he's clean at the moment? really hope he is.

this vid just shows how charismatic he is and what a talent he is.

alot better when hes not off his face.

[oneilexpress]

he was wen he got out of jail

[RandyMcfly]

Pete Doherty was the best act i saw at Glastonbury this year! He was f**king brilliant! He's better off on his own, i think.. anyone agree?!

[IndiePrincess94]

yeah he's awsome on his own but like nothing can beat the libertines =D, i think

x

[gingerwooton]

He makes me laugh with his chubby cheeks and big round face Ha Ha Ha. you want to go and pinch his cheeks and wobble them oh yes ha ha.

[annathegirl622]

he has improved this song a lot, i'm so glad
