Babyshambles: Up The Shambles, Live in Manchester

About This Movie

So, 'Babyshambles: Up The Shambles' captures that raw energy from Pete Doherty's post-Libertines phase during a live show at the Ritz. You can almost feel the sweat and chaos, with the crowd buzzing with that palpable excitement. The setlist is an interesting mix—plenty from 'Down With Albion,' but also some Libertines tracks that remind you of his earlier days. The pacing is a bit frenetic, which fits the band's vibe perfectly. And while the director's identity isn't noted, the camera work gives you this intimate feel, making you feel like you’re right there, part of the madness. It's those unreleased songs that stick with you, though—just adds to the allure of this band at that time.
