Original Toronto Star caption: That was some weekend: The weather was perfect and the crowds were fantastic at the Lighthouse reunion in Ontario Place Forum; where 33;000 people turned up for four concerts by Canada's leading jazztinged group of the early 1970s; plus their children. Reviewer Henry Mietkiewicz says it was probably the pinnacle of high-tech at the Forum. The revolving stage was crammed with three TV cameras; 16 video monitors and audio recording equipment.
