<v Bonnie Raitt>I got plans! [sporadic drumbeats] To do the kind of ?shakin'? I like tonight. <v Bonnie Raitt>Here's one of Johnny Lee's tunes. [music plays] <v Barbara Rogers>Well, we can tell the people there were having a very good time.

<v Barbara Rogers>That was Bonnie Raitt entertaining people at the Cow Palace, right? <v Jerry Graham>Uh Henry Kaiser Auditorium- <v Barbara Rogers>Henry Kaiser. I can't I have to get them all straight as to where everybody is, but that <v Barbara Rogers>everybody there was having a very good time. And we are here to um ask you to make some <v Barbara Rogers>donations to help earthquake relie- help the earthquake relief effort and help the <v Barbara Rogers>victims of the earthquake. <v Jerry Graham>Absolutely. We should also tell you that coming up next, a special surprise guest, Bob <v Jerry Graham>Hope. Mr. Rock and Roll. [laughs] Bob Hope is going to be making an appearance at the Cow <v Jerry Graham>Palace. And he really he flew up here on his own time from Palm Springs just <v Jerry Graham>to be part of it. And I guess that's sort of a clue for us again to welcome all of you <v Jerry Graham>from southern California who have joined us. <v Jerry Graham>And what this is all about, this is a day long effort, a monumental <v Jerry Graham>series of concerts put on by concert promoter Bill Graham to raise money <v Jerry Graham>for earthquake relief. Now, this is where we ask you to <v Jerry Graham>help. This is where we ask you to go to your phone and call in your <v Jerry Graham>supo- support, call in your contribution. <v Barbara Rogers>And I'll give those numbers again-

<v Jerry Graham>OK- <v Barbara Rogers>So that they can call, if you're in the 415 area code it's 8642949. <v Barbara Rogers>And otherwise, you can call 1800-872-7311. <v Barbara Rogers>And we would like you to call in, we'd like to hear all of those phones ringing back <v Barbara Rogers>there. <v Jerry Graham>Now, I don't I don't know about you, Barbara. By the way, my name's Jerry Graham, this is <v Jerry Graham>Barbara Rogers. I don't know about you, but in my house, <v Jerry Graham>we were spared the devastation that hit so much of the Bay Area- <v Barbara Rogers>Yes, me too. <v Jerry Graham>But one thing we have not been spared, and that is and this is a bit of a switch: holiday <v Jerry Graham>shopping lists. We have all been sitting with the catalogs that flood in through <v Jerry Graham>the mail, figuring out where we will spend our money. <v Jerry Graham>And sometimes holiday shopping list is a great event and sometimes maybe <v Jerry Graham>it feels like a chore. Well, think. <v Jerry Graham>What better gift could you give than to go to the phone right now and help <v Jerry Graham>people who really need your gift, help people who really need <v Jerry Graham>your support. Go to the phone and call.

<v Jerry Graham>Donate 100 dollars. Donate 50 dollars, donate whatever you can. <v Jerry Graham>You can charge it on your Visa or MasterCard. <v Jerry Graham>And keep in mind, whatever you donate is going to go for double <v Jerry Graham>because promoter Bill Graham is matching everything up to a million <v Jerry Graham>dollars. So if you call in and say, OK, I'm in for 100 dollars, <v Jerry Graham>that means 200 dollars. If you say I'm in for 50 dollars, you have just <v Jerry Graham>contributed 100 dollars to the cause. <v Barbara Rogers>And let's talk a little bit about where some of that money will go those contributions <v Barbara Rogers>are going to be divided equally among the Red Cross, the mayors emergency <v Barbara Rogers>relief fund in San Francisco, the San Jose mayor's earthquake relief fund, the <v Barbara Rogers>Oakland Mayors Earthquake Relief Fund, the city of Watsonville Earthquake Relief Fund, <v Barbara Rogers>and the mayor's emergency fund in Santa Cruz and as you're looking at your screen, you <v Barbara Rogers>just saw some of the scenes of the devastation from those various places. <v Barbara Rogers>So you know why that money is needed. There was extensive damage. <v Barbara Rogers>Billions of dollars worth of damage throughout California in those places.

<v Barbara Rogers>So, uh you know that that money is needed. <v Jerry Graham>And for everyone who donates 30 dollars or more. <v Jerry Graham>This is your T-shirt, [laughs] actually. <v Jerry Graham>You'll get your own copy. And it says this wonderful line, earthquake relief. <v Jerry Graham>It's everybody's fault. <v Jerry Graham>And it is no matter where you live. <v Jerry Graham>California, Missouri, anywhere. <v Jerry Graham>Earthquakes could happen. And when they happen, then those people who have <v Jerry Graham>been hit badly need help. <v Jerry Graham>That's what this is all about. It's an evening now from now until midnight. <v Jerry Graham>I'm seeing some of the greatest names in music perform all <v Jerry Graham>donated time. Everyone involved in this production is doing it for <v Jerry Graham>free. That includes the musicians, the promoters. <v Barbara Rogers>More than 50 different acts. And they're all coming together. <v Barbara Rogers>That's an incredible thing. I mean, in and of itself, they had all those people together <v Barbara Rogers>on one night donating their time. <v Barbara Rogers>And you can help out by donating too. They're donating their time to entertain you. <v Barbara Rogers>You can donate some money to help the earthquake relief victims.

<v Jerry Graham>Behind us you can see there are people who have donated their Sunday night to <v Jerry Graham>answer your phone calls. So please, those phone numbers once again, if <v Jerry Graham>you're listening on radio, you can't see the people, but believe me, they are there. <v Jerry Graham>The numbers in the Bay Area, 4158642949. <v Jerry Graham>Out of the Bay Area, <v Jerry Graham>particularly those of you in Southern California. <v Jerry Graham>1800-872-7311. <v Jerry Graham>We want to hear from you. We hope to hear from you. <v Barbara Rogers>Now Jerry has already mentioned that um Bill Graham will match those grants up <v Barbara Rogers>to a million dollars, up to a million dollars. <v Barbara Rogers>He's going to be matching those contributions. ?inaudible?- <v Jerry Graham>We've got about 450,000 dollars. <v Jerry Graham>So far, we wanna hit a million tonight right here. <v Barbara Rogers>And Willie Brown, who is the speaker of the California Assembly, has also said that <v Barbara Rogers>he will match donations up to 50,000 dollars from his campaign <v Barbara Rogers>contributions fund. If other politicians will call in and pledge to do the same <v Barbara Rogers>thing to take money from their campaign funds to match those donations.

<v Jerry Graham>So let me just tell you who you're going to be hearing from and seeing later on tonight. <v Jerry Graham>As I said, we're going to see Bob Hope soon. <v Jerry Graham>We are also going to uh be hearing from Crosby, Stills and <v Jerry Graham>Nash. We're going to be hearing from John Fogerty, Neil Young, Steve Miller, <v Jerry Graham>who knows when it comes around to finale time who will join the stage? <v Jerry Graham>We also wanna talk about, you know, we've been getting a lot of calls from various <v Jerry Graham>companies- <v Barbara Rogers>Yeah I've got some right here- <v Jerry Graham>Who are challenging people in similar companies saying, look, I raise 100 dollars <v Jerry Graham>now. How about you? Match me. Barbara you have ?inaudible? <v Barbara Rogers>Here's some of the ones who have called in with a challenge. <v Barbara Rogers>The workers of the Concord Pavilion, they are saying if they if you will call in <v Barbara Rogers>and and match this uh matchin' amount, they will also give that amount. <v Barbara Rogers>Challenges uh from the Pay Less Drugs at 51st Street in Oakland <v Barbara Rogers>and fellow employees of ?Ketco? <v Barbara Rogers>Auto Parts. <v Jerry Graham>Okay, I have a couple, too. We have uh Keith Cavaleiro challenges firefighters <v Jerry Graham>at Mount ?Tamopius?

<v Jerry Graham>firehouse, his fellow firefighters. <v Jerry Graham>Come on, let's hear it. <v Jerry Graham>Star Reporting challenges other court reporting services, bookstores challenging other <v Jerry Graham>bookstores. Here's a 1000 dollar challenge. <v Jerry Graham>This is from the Clinton Village Convalescent Hospital, and they're challenging other <v Jerry Graham>nursing homes and also David Minniti at Livermore Auto Exchange <v Jerry Graham>challenges other auto dealers. So get on the phone, call your friends, tell 'em <v Jerry Graham>hey, do you know what's on Channel Nine right now? <v Jerry Graham>We're challenging. We're gonna raise over a million dollars and Bill Graham's gonna match <v Jerry Graham>it. <v Barbara Rogers>And here's some others from Sam Bishop at Children's Hospital in San Francisco. <v Barbara Rogers>He challenges all the other workers there to uh call in and make a donation. <v Barbara Rogers>Guy Gilcrest photography challenges all other photographers out there to call in and make <v Barbara Rogers>a donation. And John, um let's see. <v Barbara Rogers>This is all of Mill Valley. <v Barbara Rogers>The whole city [Jerry: everybody] of Mill Valley he's asking everybody in Mill Valley to <v Barbara Rogers>call in and meet his challenge and to make a donation. <v Jerry Graham>I I think it's worth repeating exactly where this money goes. <v Jerry Graham>Uh Barbara did tell you, but it's going to be divided equally in six

<v Jerry Graham>ways between the Red Cross and then the mayor's emergency <v Jerry Graham>relief funds of some of the cities hit hardest. <v Jerry Graham>That would be San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, which was <v Jerry Graham>not hit, but is helping out its neighbors. <v Jerry Graham>Uh the city of Watsonville Relief Fund and the mayors relief fund in Santa Cruz. <v Jerry Graham>All of those areas very hard hit. <v Jerry Graham>But the thing about it is we are there now. <v Jerry Graham>Everybody came together right after the earthquake. <v Jerry Graham>Everyone is still coming together 5,6 weeks after it to help. <v Jerry Graham>All right. We're going to go to Bill Graham now, who is introducing Bob Hope. <v Jerry Graham>[cheering] <v Bill Graham>On behalf of all the people that have worked on this event- all <v Bill Graham>the limo drivers, all the stagehands, all the musicians, all the hotels that gave us <v Bill Graham>rooms, all the airlines, all the sound companies, all the truck companies,

<v Bill Graham>everybody involved with all three shows today, they are all <v Bill Graham>volunteers for the same cause [cheering]. <v Bill Graham>And we also wanna let you know that there isn't a single musician in northern <v Bill Graham>California that said no. <v Bill Graham>Everyone said we're in [cheering]. <v Bill Graham>Also yesterday poured down in Watsonville, but today the sun was out gloriously <v Bill Graham>and for one day they had peace and joy and great music. <v Bill Graham>[cheering] The <v Bill Graham>the extent of this expression of concern for our neighbors <v Bill Graham>down south and to the north goes very deep for a <v Bill Graham>lot of the entertainers.

<v Bill Graham>A few days ago, we made contact with an artist who <v Bill Graham>was very concerned and wasn't sure that he could make the schedule. <v Bill Graham>He called last night and said, I'm in. <v Bill Graham>Where do you want me? [cheering] An <v Bill Graham>extended expression of what it's like to be a Californian, Mr. Bob Hope. <v Bill Graham>[cheering] <v Bob Hope>[continuous cheering] Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. I think- let me tell ya. I

<v Bob Hope>think this is the most marvelous thing what you people are doing. <v Bob Hope>When I- I ?met?- [audio and video turn off] [program rewinds]
