Jackson Browne and the Doobie Brothers were among veteran musicians who on Sunday, during a charity concert in San Francisco, called for support of Japan's postdisaster reconstruction and use of safe energy sources.

The artists in the group Musicians United for Safe Energy, which was formed after the 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear accident, entertained some 20,000 people in the audience in California, where nuclear power plants are operating.

It was the first large-scale concert for the group, also known as MUSE, since their first anti-nuclear gig after the 1979 accident.

The performers included Kitaro, a Japanese synthesizer artist living in the United States. They planned the gig in the wake of the March earthquake and tsunami which wrecked the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, causing a radioactive material to escape in the worst nuclear crisis since the Chernobyl disaster.
