Original Toronto Star caption: The night the '60s came back. Simon and Garfunkel's long-awaited concert at the CNE Stadium last night packed in 35;000 fans - at least half of whom were too young to remember the pair in their heyday. The Star's Peter Goddard says: Nostalgia was so thick you could have painted it in Day-Glo.
