Boy George & Culture Club, B-52s and Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey, The Boch Center- Wang Theatre Boston, MA 07/27/2018

It was a triple bill last night at The Boch Center in Boston. First on stage was Tom Bailey of the Thompson Twins. Tom and his 3 female band members were decked out all in white. The synth pop was strong. There was Love On Your Side and Lies. A couple of tracks from his new album Science Fiction. And be still my heart when he did Lay Your Hands On Me and Doctor! Doctor! I may be in my 40s and he may have gray hair now but the crush on him is still there. He finished his set with the classic Hold Me Now with the venue lit up from a disco ball. The audience got to end the song a capella. Next up was the funky and wild B-52s. Cindy Wilson still has the blond beehive, Kate Pierson the fierce red hair, and Fred Schneider as always is crazy fun. I highly recommend if you want to relieve some some stress rock out to the B-52s live. They performed Planet Claire, Mesopotamia, and Private Idaho. Thank you, thank you for Roam! We got our tin roof rusted with Love Shack and yes our lobster was rocked-Rock Lobster. Finally, Culture Club came on and Boy George had on a hat and a military inspired coat with gold accents. He started the set with David Bowie's Let's Dance and he did it justice. I'm always happy to hear the upbeat I'll Tumble 4 Ya. He took me to the islands with Let Somebody Love You. He gave us Time (Clock Of The Heart) and he turned back time with Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? There's no containing me on Church Of The Poison Mind. He did a cover of Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love and the night was complete with Karma Chameleon. It was a jammed packed night of music!
