Original Toronto Star caption: A happy but listless crowd at Harborfront 74 yesterday sits and waits for one of the holiday weekend's big attractions at Toronto's dockside entertainment spot - the Downchild Blues Band. They began to stir; and a few even danced; when Downchild finally came on to send their fine sound over the 2;000 seated and standing fans; and the lake beyond. Hundreds more turned away from the water and sky shows and faced the bandstand as bluesy music filled the air.
