Officially titled "Graham Nash's Children Of The Americas Radiothon," the event consisted of a live broadcast of concert performances from the Palace in Hollywood and the United Nations building in New York City. The four-hour program was broadcast on KLSX-FM in Los Angeles and about 65 stations around the country, said Richard Linnell, the show's executive producer. While the day's lineup included Jackson Browne, Randy Newman and Midnight Oil (the last two from New York), the main attraction was the appearance by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - their first performance since recording their first studio album in almost two decades, the just-released "American Dream." The re-teaming of the four, whose work together in the early '70s has been heralded as among rock's most creative collaborations, marks the end of the obstacles that kept Neil Young from participating with his former partners, who had continued working together in various configurations. The quartet's seven-song, 45-minute set at the Palace included four tunes from "American Dream," plus the chestnuts "Love The One You're With," "Southern Cross" and "Long Time Gone." The crowd reaction at the Palace to the group's familiar harmonies was overwhelming. In radio-land, though, the audience was falling short of expectations. When the CSN&Y set ended, listener pledges totaled $89,650, short of the $100,000 the organizers were hoping to raise. So as soon as they finished performing a drastically revamped version of "My Country 'Tis Of Thee" with John David Souther and (on tape) acoustic guitarist Michael Hedges, Graham Nash and David Crosby said they'd make up the shortfall by giving $5,000 each. The show had many of the earmarks of traditional telethons: appeals from celebrities (George Harrison, Tom Petty), a toll-free number for viewer contributions (1-800-FOR-KIDS), pledges from entertainment industry heavies ($10,000 from Bruce Springsteen, $5,000 each from Rod Stewart and Atlantic Records) and needy beneficiaries (World Hunger Year and UNICEF).
