I couldn't find any info on it, just googling around on the internet. It may have been earlier than that, though. The wikipedia entry for Mahalia Jackson said she passed away in early 1972 and last performed in 1971.
So I'm guessing it was maybe in '71?
Quite a lineup!

to the original poster...

not sure if this was the show you were referring to, but this was in 1971 (see part that refers to Carly Simon):

"In 1971, Carly Simon performed her first concert, opening for Cat Stevens in New York. James Taylor was in the audience and went backstage to meet her."

But... according to other sources, that performance took place in Los Angeles. so, beats me. I dunno....
