When trying to map the connections between all of the artists from the West Coast in the mid-1970s, there is perhaps no better place to start than the No Nukes concert of 1979. So many of the true lights of the Southern California sound came together as Musicians United for Safe Energy (M.U.S.E.) that it is a great place to start tracing the paths that brought them all together.
In the above picture, you can see:
Back Row: Tiran Porter, John McFee, Jesse Colin Young, James Taylor, Keith Knudsen, Cornelius Bumpus
Upper Middle: Chet McKraken. Carly Simon, John Hall, Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash, David Crosby
Lower Middle: Stephen Stills, ---
First Row: Michael McDonald, Jackson Browne, Nicolette Larson, Chaka Khan, Patrick Simmons, ---
(any help IDing the last two people in the picture would be much appreciated!)
