Confirming rumors that he's put on a little extra poundage, Elvis Costello showed up for his recent gigs at New York's Palladium positively puffy, looking like a short Henry Kissinger. Dressed in his ever-present suit, he sported a pushed-up burgundy silk tie and rose-colored glasses. Reports that he's in training for the lead role in ''Raging Bull II'' are emphatically denied. | Confirming rumors that he's put on a little extra poundage, Elvis Costello showed up for his recent gigs at New York's Palladium positively puffy, looking like a short Henry Kissinger.

Warming up the crowd for Elvis, Squeeze (having replaced Jools Holland with Paul Carrack from Ace) turned in a eminently hummable performance featuring many of their catchiest tunes. From the older "Bang Bang" and "Goodbye Girl" to their best songs from ''Argybargy'' ("Pulling Mussels From The Shell)" and "If I Didn't Love You"), they reminded one of early 10cc, especially on "I Think I'm Go Go" — pop at its best. Guitarist and lead singer Glenn Tilbrook is the perfect frontman, winsome and energized, with a cool, pure voice. Paul Carrack offered up "How Long," a 1976 hit he wrote for Ace, while for the rest of Squeeze's set the pop songs just kept rolling. Squeeze debuted two new ones, "Mumbo Jumbo" and "Somebody Else's Heart." | Warming up the crowd for Elvis, Squeeze (having replaced Jools Holland with Paul Carrack from Ace) turned in a eminently hummable performance featuring many of their catchiest tunes.
