I was just checking my local TV listings for tonight and saw this scheduled for 9:30 pm on my local Public Television station:

Pegi & Neil Young's Concert for the Bridge School

Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and Emmylou Harris are featured in this collection of clips from the first 25 years of the benefit concerts for the Bridge School, which educates children with severe speech and physical impairments. Other performers include David Bowie, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty, the Pretenders, Bonnie Raitt, Simon & Garfunkel and Brian Wilson.

Nothing new to see here, it's all on the 25th BSB DVD that came out last year. Which you can get for a 100 dollar donation to your local PBS station. Or on amazon for a hell of a lot cheaper.

Dvr'd it from PBS. They showed Betterman. It was arranged and sung a little different.

Not a bad version, and a solid performance. Hope it doesn't replace the standard version, though I doubt very much it will.

its an interesting version. no way they'd replace the original, eddie vedder gets a boner everytime a billion people go crazy for the song he wrote when he was 17.
