The Sheffield born band got straight down to business playing song after song with little acknowledgement of the crowd
and not showing much emotion or enjoyment either.
The only rock star moment came when Alex Turner
performed an unexpected guitar slide, which livened up the otherwise sombre performance. The crowd really got off their feet
when Turner screamed "I'm going to Shabooms" before tearing into 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor'.
The set was seamless with effortless musicianship, but lacked in connection with the crowd, though the masses didn't
seem to mind much as the entire field danced and bopped along to the indie greats.
