The one moment that stands out most in my mind was when Costello sang, in a hoarse voice that wavered and nearly cracked. ''"My aim is true."'' in "Alison." It's as close as he ever got to a plea for understanding, and Costello is right — his aim is true, more so than almost any performer in rock, and he heartily deserved all the adulation and acclaim he received. | The one moment that stands out most in my mind was when Costello sang, in a hoarse voice that wavered and nearly cracked.

As if part of some divinely inspired plan to create a nearly perfect evening, | As if part of some divinely inspired plan to create a nearly perfect evening, the Rubinoos, a Berkeley-based band who opened the show, were nothing short of sensational. They may look like junior-high kids gone berserk (like the Talking Heads ten years ago, perhaps?), but they know as much about what makes pop music tick as <!-- Nock --> Nick Lowe does. Their songs, from the bonkers-adolescent "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" to their covers of "Please Please Me" and the Seeds' "Pushin' Too Hard," were made-for-gluttonous-consumption power pop treats. Why they don't have a huge following is beyond me — maybe because they're a smart and funny band (as their lead guitarist's perfect Foghat parody demonstrated) in an age where intelligence and humor aren't always given the necessary respect. | ||
