Peter Doherty, Carry On Up The Morning, Rhythm Factory 26.02.08

You see the complete lack of picture at the very beginning of this clip? That would be the aforementioned forest of tall people. Peter does start to make an appearance a few seconds in, though. Unfortunately there's a small sound cut, which I think may have been due to me temporarily giving up on being able to film anything at all, and then thinking that this song is so beautiful that any footage is better than no footage, right?

Carry On Up The Morning first saw the earlight of day on the Stookie + Jim demos, also known as Bumfest, which surfaced in November 2006, and were put up for free download on Peter's official website, frenchdogblues.com. A full band version later appeared on Shotter's Nation, the second Babyshambles album. Whenever an acoustic demo is translated to full band, it tends to engender heated debate on the forums. My personal take on it is that we have so many different versions of songs available that we can each choose to listen to whichever one we each personally prefer. As long as we also buy the released versions, as the band need to eat, right?
