POP/ROCK - Aug. 3, 1987

Nine concertgoers were injured in Boston Friday when a 25-foot-long tree limb fell into the audience as singer Anita Baker performed on the Boston Common, police said. No one was believed seriously hurt in the accident at Boston’s famous downtown park, but the nine were taken by ambulance to three hospitals, a police spokesman said. Five persons taken to Massachusetts General Hospital were being evaluated, but they were expected to be released after treatment for “all minor injuries,” a spokeswoman said.
