HEAVY HISTORY

21 years ago today (July 30, 2003) SARSStock was held at Downsview Park in Toronto featuring The Rolling Stones, AC/DC and the Guess Who. 450,000 people gathered for Canada’s biggest-ever concert to help the city’s economy get back on its feet after the outbreaks of the deadly respiratory disease SARS (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome) earlier in the year. The Stones donated half of their merchandising profits to the SARS relief fund, and $1 from each ticket sale and the net profits of official merchandise also went to the fund.
