at the Oakland Coliseum.

Nothing from Nothing and Will it Go Round in Circles were in regular radio play.

Preston played a short opening set with his own material.

Then Ravi Shankar played with this band followed by George Harrison.

Preston played keyboards in Harrison's band.

At the end of the show Ravi Shankar and other members of his band joined Harrison's band for end of concert.
