Original Toronto Star caption: Promised a place for the night; these rock concert fans; most of them from the United States; camped last night in parking lot at Queen's Quay and Yonge St. near the ferry boat docks. Despite the lack of toilet facilities; showers and hot and cold running water; an Olympic Festivals Canada spokesman called it a real nice place compared with some of those he's seen at other concerts. The visitors are in Toronto for annual two-day jazz and blues concert on Toronto Island.
