In its December 2003 issue NME ranked its live moments of the year, and put at number one the Libertines taking the stage at the Tap ’n’ Tin in Chatham, a mere twelve hours or so after Pete Doherty had been released from prison.
The venue kept the cutting as a scan, which did not survive. The story of the night: the Freedom Gig explained.
