The crowd at the House of Blues on Sunday was comprised of middle-aged people who had undoubtedly followed The Jesus and Mary Chain during its ’80s heyday — as well as a number of 20-somethings and teens, who were probably still sucking their thumbs when the band broke up in 1999.

During the nearly sold out show, The Jesus and Mary Chain played a variety of songs from its back catalog, including favorites like “Head On,” from 1989′s Automatic, and “Just Like Honey,” from the band’s 1985 debut, Psychocandy. The band also played “Snakedriver” — which was featured in The Crow — and other Psychocandy classics like “The Hardest Walk,” “Taste Of Cindy, and “Never Understand.” Overall, despite occasional miscues, the band more than showed its musical chops.
