Boston Music Awards 1989
Date: April 25, 1989
Venue: Wang Center, Boston
The screams last night at the sold-out, 4,200-capacity Wang Center were enough to flatten you in your tracks. They came from the front rows, the mezzanine, the upper balcony and just about everywhere, bouncing off the walls as if the Beatles were in town.
