Original Toronto Star caption: Chicago at the grandstand. The rock band Chicago last night gave the second of its concerts at the CNE Grandstand this year. Star critic Peter Goddard attended the first show the previous evening and said the band is; in many ways; everything a rock group should be; unpretentious; musical and hard-working. But it all came out just too nice.
