Notes:
Performing several hours of primarily acoustic music that featured plenty of extraordinary collaborations, this benefit, billed as "Sing Out For Seva," would not only raise nearly $70,000 for medical aid in Third World countries, but also provide attendees with a musical experience not soon forgotten.

By nearly all accounts, the most exciting set of the evening was saved for last when David Crosby and Graham Nash took the stage with Crosby's latest band configuration (CPR featuring guitarist Jeff Pevar and keyboardist James Raymond) and Grateful Dead bass player Phil Lesh. The significance of Lesh joining these musicians was a dream come true for many fans as it provided Crosby and Nash the ability to resurrect songs from each of their debut solo albums, revisiting a magical era when many of the key San Francisco musicians were exploring a collaborative concept called the "Planet Earth Rock & Roll Orchestra" (also known as PERRO).
