Name: The Last Shadow Puppets

Where and when: Radio 1 stage, 8.40pm, Leeds

Dress code: Beatles suits and ties for Miles Kane and Alex Turner, suitable attire given the nature of the Last Shadow Puppet's music, a tribute to the Walker Bros and the cinematic 1960s. The crowd, meanwhile, are covered in mud and face paint.

Who's watching: This was the first part of the second stage's Yorkshire double bill. Still to come are headliners the Cribs, but the punters are here to cheer on Alex Turner, local lad made great. Whether Turner enjoys that status is not entirely clear.

In a nutshell: The smart suits, the velvet backdrop, the full orchestra, this was a classy offering from the Puppets. But, maybe, that isn't what's needed at a festival on a Friday night. Much of the band's more delicate edges were undetectable amid the hubbub of the huge tent, and the light show couldn't quite cover up the fact that two men swinging gently behind their microphones isn't the most engaging live show.

High point: The final 90 seconds of every other song. This was where the band broke free from its finely-tailored straitjacket. The orchestra would soar, reverb would spin off the guitars and James Ford would cut loose on the drums. The results were beautiful and engrossing and, just as you got excited, they'd end.
Low point: For much of the time it felt like you were listening to a playback of the album, Age of the Understatement, so straight was it played. This was only the third gig the band had played with their orchestra and a lack of familiarity was perhaps to be expected, but – final 90 seconds aside – it seemed there was no desire to do anything beyond the basics. Combine that with the relentlessly middling pace of most of the songs and things just began to get a little dull.

How hard do they rock?: The only moment of edginess came when Turner mocked Kaiser Chiefs. The crowd booed in response and Turner was unsure as to whom the jeers were for.
