Original Toronto Star caption: It's a long way to take a ferry. As far as the eye can see; thousands of rock music fans line up late yesterday on Centre Island for the return trip home by ferry. The line-up was so long; many people reported waiting for as long as an hour for the return tirp. Some 11;000 rock buffs had a jumping time in glorious weather at the concert sponsored by Olympic Festivals Canada. Not only the ferry was late; the concert itself ran about two hours late-so much so that two of the nine scheduled bands didn't even get time to play. On the less cheerful side; about 20 person were treated for drug abuse.
