“No under 50s allowed at this show!” was the running joke at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Boston last Wednesday. Of course, plenty of young people also turned up to see the Psychedelic Furs and the Jesus & Mary Chain co headlining the city’s oldest venue. The plethora of eighties fashion in the crowd, along with retro refreshments (name somewhere else you can get Sal’s pizza during a gig, other than TD Garden!) created a perfect backdrop for two groups who still sound as fresh as they did 40 years ago. Arriving in a bank of smoke, the Reid brothers and fellow bandmates got right into it. “Happy When it Rains” and “Just Like Honey” had a distinct edge when juxtaposed with fog machines and strobing lights. United by brotherhood along with era, the Furs continued drawing in the audience with a bouncy stage presence, growing ever more pronounced through classics like “Pretty in Pink” and “The Ghost In You.”  Frankie Rose supported.
