Original Toronto Star caption: The doors opened at Maple Leaf Gardens this morning with more than 1,000 blanketed and cheerful rock fans outside who'd waited all high in the rain to buy tickets for a concert by ex-Beatle George Harrison in December. The line-up stretched six abreast halfway around the Gardens. One of the first in the door was a student who had waited three nights and two days to buy six tickets at $10 each.
