Now that the tabloids have moved on to Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty is able to get on with writing the kind of material that saw The Libertines cast a spell on the British scene? The Radio 1/NME stage saw an an adoring response from Babyshambles fans.

I would not have missed this for the world, who are Rage???? I've never heard of them and Pete is a legend. I saw him at the Royal Albert Hall recently and it was amazing. Babyshambles at Leeds Festival were just fantastic!!!
Jade!
He's amazing, this show was brilliant! I love how he gets involved with the crowd and the security men never know what to do haha!
benn
had to be dragged away from rage by my friends to see shambles, but what a performance, was so surprised, they were amazing
York
Such an amazing gig. totally justified missing rage
Dan
Never liked babyshambles before seeing them at leeds on saturday, blew me away. I Wish was the song of the festival, Albion is a masterpiece and Beg Steal or Borrow is just fantastic. Anyone know what the song which starts like All Day and All of the Night by the Kinks is though?
Pete
Who was foolish enough to go see Doherty when RATM were on stage?! Oh, sorry, most of you would be too young to remember/know how awesome a band you missed! ;-)

Fantastic performance so sad they clashed with Rage I wouldn't have missed them for anybody else
Jay
Amazing. Every live performance of Albion tops the last one. Highlight of the weekend.
