After assembling a group to record "Rockestra" theme on 3 Oct 1978 with Pete Townsend, Kenny Jones, Dave Gilmore, Gary Brooker, Ronnie Lane, Bruce Thomas, John Paul Jones and John Bonham,

Paul put together the ultimate band to play a series of dates 26-29 December 1979 at Hammersmith Odeon - Concert For Kampuchea

The line-up for the live concerts was:

piano: Paul McCartney

keyboards: Linda McCartney (Wings), Gary Brooker (Procul Harem), Tony Ashton
