Peter Doherty - Wolverhampton Civic, 20/09/11

Peter stumbled to the stage surprising on time sporting a chequered jacket and white shirt. The crowd looked overjoyed to see him arrive. Without introduction Peter went straight into 'In love with a feeling' from the Babyshambles album 'Down in Albion'. He hadn't even made it to the first chorus of the song and people were already throwing trilbies to the stage. As soon as the song had finished, without a pause he went into 'Fixing up to go (Ballad of Gascony Avenue)'. Not many people in the crowd knew the song but it was still a crowd pleaser as Peters charm showed through the song. After interacting with the crowd the next song was 'Flophouse' which was never released but is still a favourite of many fans.

After starting on a few slow songs Peter picked up the tempo and launched into 'Don't look back into the sun' by The Libertines which featured on the libertines greatest hits album 'Time for Heroes'. He then said the next song was for all the lovers in the crowd as he slowly began 'For lovers' which was released in 2004 with Wolfman. Emotion flooded the room as everyone was caught in the romantic tone. Peter continued to please the crowd with hit after hit including 'Bed steal or borrow', 'Can't stand me now', 'Hooligan on E' and 'What Katie did next', talking to the crowd throughout about QPR. He then concluded the show with 'Music with the lights go' out and 'Albion'. The crowd roared as Peter left the stage and the lights went out.

Chants of Peter! Filled the room as everyone wanted more of him. Within around 5 minutes of leaving the stage he returned as the crowd cheered and clapped louder than they had all night. Peter picked up his guitar again and went straight into 'F**k Forever' throwing his hands in the air gesturing at the crowd as they all did the same. He than became to sing 'Tears dry on their own' by the late Amy Winehouse. The crowd all sang along with him in tribute to Amy and you could see the emotion in Peter and the crowd as he sang the song. Peter then broke into 'Time for Heroes' which sent the crowd into a frenzy of madness. He left the stage with the crowd left in awe of a fabulous performance.
