Psychotic Pineapple, who opened the show, could have learned a few things from Elvis about audience control. The four-piece band who specialized in psychedelic music from the mid to late sixties, was heckled by an audience impatient for Elvis. Pineapple was at its best doing ridiculous covers of such material as the Kinks' "I Need You" and the Rubinoos' "Rock and Roll Is Dead," with the songs broken up by silly jokes and descriptions of everything as "weed" or "laird." Yet this band didn't take itself too seriously and there's really no reason anyone else should have either. | Psychotic Pineapple, who opened the show, could have learned a few things from Elvis about audience control.

<!-- photo caption: I'M NOT ANGRY? - British new waver Elvis Costello gives his point of view to a New coffeehouse audience during his second show last Wednesday. During the final show, Costello made no attempt to hide his anger after a few fans had pelted him with trash and Costello managed to teach the UCD audience a thing or two about manipulation.
