Original Toronto Star caption: Bee Gee Maurice Gibb; with brothers Barry and Robin; last night gave a concert to 14;000 people in Maple Leaf Gardens and Star music critic Peter Goddard says the British-based trio confronted them with a band that actually had some rhytym in its soul. Their past performances have been so wholesome that if Good Housekeeping gave a seal of approval to rock groups; they would have been first to get one.
