Before Carl plays, there were two supporting bands ‘Swimming’ and ‘The Heartbreaks’. I actually liked both of them and became a fan especially of The Heartbreaks. Their style including playing style and the way they dress are rockabily and a bit of like Mod but once they started playing, all songs are melodious pop with a touch of old school rock. If you like The Buzzcocks and also melodious pop rock, you might like them.
Swimming
The Heartbreaks
After they finished playing, the venue was finally filled with the crowd. I could see so many people who look like fans of The Libertines just like me. There were many older people campared to other gigs I go, but I was happy to see some young fans who seem to admire Carl Barat as their hero. Ah even that part is same as me! I'm not one who encoutered the amazing and legendary band at their time.
Okay, first of all, I'll explain about the stelist of Carl's show since stuff started putting them on the stage while the supporting acts brought their stuff back. I couldn't take a piece of paper that the stlist is on even though it was right in front of me. There was more aggressive fan than I am. Damn it. But I took a picture of it, and here it is.
I know, you can't see it at all. I tried to read them and I found most of the songs he played in order except a couple of songs around the end. Sorry! x(
・Je Regrette, Je Regrette
・Run with the Boys
・The Man Who Would Be King
・Carve My Name
・She's Something
・Deadwood
・The Mangus
・So Long, My Lover
・Up the Bracket
・Irony of Love
・What Have I Done
・Death Fires Came at Night
・Death on the Stairs
・Bang Bang You're Dead
・9 Lives (p.s. I finally got all of songs on the setlist! 28/10/2010)
・France
・The Fall
・Truth Begins
・Time For Heros
・Music When the Lights Go Out
・Don't Look Back Into the Sun
This is all I got from the pic of the setlist and also I remember. I thought Carl would mainly play songs from his selftitled solo album, but he chose songs from The Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things and his own songs. The setlist is very well managed to make the crowd absorbed in his show and also excited. I also believed that he'd play acoustic songs a lot since he seems to like it and he's got a back band with a cello and a contrabass kinda thing..but he didn't! I was really surprised and happy at the same time when Carl palyed The Man Who Would Be King. The crowd got really excited and Carl looked like he knew they'd be like that. We sang along and it felt so good. I really think that he succeed in making the setlist. Really enjoyable and never got bored. I loved it that he put Don't Look Back Into the Sun at the very end. People do love the song and it's also chosen as an anthem of this summer. It's even worth to be an anthem of all time. I was about to cry at the moment when we all sang along the song and there was Carl Barat in front of me playing the song. Really overwhelming and moving. I felt his love toward The Libertines and his/their fans during the gig. He talked to the crowd, asked them if they want more songs from The Libertines and even tried to hear a guy's request. He is a genuin rock musician..and my hero at the same time.
from here, it'll be totally fan-talking..
After the gig, my friend and I waited Carl outside, and there was a little queue out there. Maybe just less one hour waiting, Calr came out of the venue wearing a big mod coat, and started having chats with fans in order.
I got his autograph on his autobiography that I brought with me, took a picture with him. The most precious thing for me is that his big hug!! I coudln't believe that moment that a guy who's been my hero actually was standing in front of me and gave me a big hug. He was so nice and fan-loving person. Even though security stuff kept telling us and him that we couldn't stay any longer, Carl answered fans' request and asking. He looked tired after the gig, but still wore smile on his face, had a chat with fans, and gave them hug if they want. It made me really really happy to see him like that. Now I'm just hoping that he'll come back soon and "hopefully" as The Libertines next time..
2010年10月22日は私にとって、すごく貴重で特別な日なりました。
今住んでいる街LeedsにCarl Baratがライヴで来て、私の初のイギリスライヴはとても素敵なものとなったのだ！
セットリストは上にもある通りだけど、セットリストの紙は他の人に取られてしまったから自分の写真にうつってるセットリストをなんとか解析して、分かったぶんと覚えてるぶんだけ書いたけど
後日Manchesterのセットリストを取った人のを見てみたら、同じ流れだったかた１つ分からなかったところはFranceだろうということで足しておいた。多分これであってると思います～。
ソロアルバムの曲中心になるかと思えば、それよりもThe Libertinesからの曲が多かったうえに、しっかりとDirty Pretty Thingsの曲(盛り上がりやすい定番を２曲)演奏してオーディエンスは大盛り上がり
The Libertines全盛期をリアルタイムで経験してない私には、このCarlのライヴでThe Libsの曲が流れた時の観客のなんとも激しい熱気と押しにかなり気分が高揚して、その瞬間にThe Libertinesがどれだけイギリスで愛されてるかを少し感じた気持ちになりました。ライヴ後に外で待つファンの為に出てきたCarlは優しくて、寒い中辛抱強く待っていたファン一人一人の要望にしっかりと答えて、少し会話をしたり、写真を撮ったり、サインをあげたりしていました。あのCarl Baratが目の前にいることが私は信じられなかったけども、このミュージシャン、バンドとの近さもイギリスの特権だなあと実感。しっかり写真、サインそしてハグをもらって結局はThe Libertines大好きないちファンの私は夢心地で帰りましたとさ。
Carlのギグで撮った写真はここを見てみてください。私のmyspaceのアルバムのページに飛びます。
次回はMystery Jetsのライヴ！
