On stage he seems a bit of a poseur, never smiling or showing any kind of emotion or acknowledging the crowd, but there was enough obvious conviction in his playing and sweat collecting on his brow to indicate that he was putting his all into this performance. | On stage he seems a bit of a poseur, never smiling or showing any kind of emotion or acknowledging the crowd, but there was enough obvious conviction in his playing and sweat collecting on his brow to indicate that he was putting his all into this performance. | ||
Before the show, Costello was described mildly by the Longhorn management as "very temperamental," and was complaining about a two-day bus ride in from Portland, Ore., the rented equipment and the diminutive bar.

Costello was preceded by Willy Alexander and the Boom Boom Band, a Boston new wave band that played a rambling set of intriguing hard rock originals from their just-released MCA album.

Quick-witted guitarist Billy Loosigan was the standout musician in the Boom Boom Band. | Costello was preceded by Willy Alexander and the Boom Boom Band, a Boston new wave band that played a rambling set of intriguing hard rock originals from their just-released MCA album.
