A remake of Mary Poppins's Chim Chim Cher-ee was a moment of genius for Turin Brakes.
The horror version saw the well-known ditty transformed into slow, dark, electric guitar-infused rock song James Hetfield would be envious of.
And then there was Painkiller - Summer Rain. The instantly recognisable opening chords, upbeat tune, raspy sing-along vocals, feel-good chorus with a killer high-pitched ending. The crowd finally swept into life when the chart topping hit started 45 minutes into the set.
But up until that point, the Mary Poppins genius aside, the majority of the crowd only managed an unenthusiastic sway to the identity-lacking set list.
In a market saturated with almost-famous harmonising acoustic/folk bands the slower tracks seemed nonchalant.
To be fair there was the occasional upturn with the likes of Emergency 72 and Guess You Heard. And the crowd seemed happy, just not ecstatic.
People seemed okay to stand patiently and wait for the 11-year-old killer song, the hit on which Turin Brakes appear happy to continue to hang their reputations on.
It just seems a shame the obviously talented and passionate band can't produce another cracking hit - or develop more of the Mary Poppins-inspired originality.
