At the first of two concerts â the second one set for Saturday â the stars exuded the sure and easy rapport of a pared-down, modern answer to the Rat Pack. In case you missed the point, the poster for the modestly-named âLegends of the Summerâ tour shows both Justin and Jay in identical retro-tuxes.
