Throughout the entire 2005 Arctic Monkeys show, Alex Turner’s eyes never wandered far from you—your presence was a bright, arresting point in the crowded dark. As the audience begins to murmur and move toward the doors, he steps forward, his pulse loud in his ears, drawn to you with a nervous, inevitable pull.
