The proposition was defeated during California’s primary election held on June 8th, 1976. The bands performed without pay. Jackson Browne was initially scheduled to appear but cancelled. Jimmy Buffett took his place.

Photographer: Norman Seeff

This was the band’s first session with photographer Norman Seeff, a former medical doctor who emigrated to the United States from South Africa in the late 1960s to pursue a career as a rock photographer. One of his first assignments was the cover of the The Band’s Stage Fright.

Seeff described this photo session in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2013:

“This session for their ONE OF THESE NIGHTS album resulted in some striking images where each member of the band was being themselves in a confident way. Creating a moment with several artists at once can be challenging. When you work with 5 artists, if you don’t create a simultaneous relationship with every single person and someone loses eye contact, then they’re not all present.”

Two of Seeff’s images were included in the package for the album:
