The late Billy Preston, fresh off his hit "Outta Space," was in the house during Pine Knob's first season on a bill with Chuck Berry. Natalie Cole's eight performances included her award-winning Tribute to Nat King Cole, her father, during 1991. And among Earth, Wind & Fire's 17 Pine Knob shows were three co-bills with Chicago, during which the two bands performed segments together with some two dozen musicians strong.
