Boston’s 40th anniversary tour comes to Johnny Mercer Theatre – photos

Boston stormed through Savannah’s Johnny Mercer Theatre recently on their 40th anniversary tour. Those of us of a certain age can remember the sudden feeling of exhilaration every times a Boston hit came on the radio back in the 1980s, and, despite, some dramatic changes in the lineup — including the tragic passing of lead singer Brad Delp in 2007 — the band still sounds much like they did decades ago.

Founder Tom Scholz is still brilliant on keys and guitar. Scholz and his early bandmate Gary Pihl have brought talented, energetic musicians to the group, and the band still knows how to put on a big stage show.

Ann Sosbe of One Horse Photography shoots a lot of the shows at the Savannah Civic Center, and she got some typically great pics of Boston, which she has graciously shared with us. Click on through for more:
