At the show were Bob Dyaln and his Rolling Thunderers, Issac Hayes, Stevie Wonder, Ringo Starr, Stephen Stills and Carlos Santana. Stills and Santana fought an instrumental duel on an extended version of Black Queen. Due to short notice and growing doubts about Carter's innocence only 30,000 of the expected 60,000 fans showed up. That coupled with the high costs of putting on the show only $10,000 was raised for Carter and that was a direct donation from the owners of The Astrodome.
