Original Toronto Star caption: Soul band Rufus opened last night's Rolling Stones concert at the Gardens and it was a fine band, with singer Chaka Khan up front, says Star critic Peter Goddard. The Stones' concerts last night and Tuesday night left a total of 36,000 people sweat-soaked and ecstatic with their performance. The group flew off on their chartered jet for six days in New York. They drove to airport immediately after last night's show.
