The Bridge School Benefit is an annual non-profit charity concert held in Mountain View, California every October at the Shoreline Amphitheatre. The concerts are all organized by musician Neil Young and his wife, Pegi. Proceeds benefit The Bridge School. The first concert was in October 1986, and, with the exception of 1987, the concert has been held every year since. As a practice, but not a rule, the performers use acoustic instruments. Young also personally performs every year.

Tickets will go on sale September 16th through Live Nation. Information about ticket sales, pricing, seating charts, parking, etc. can be found on the Live Nation site.

I wanna see Foo Fighters do something with Tony Bennett.

Thanks for posting this information. This could be a fun show. I have always enjoyed the atmosphere at Bridge.

That's a good lineup; I'd really like to go to Bridge School one day.

Hmm, interesting lineup. I thought about going last year but talked myself out of it. Might be a tougher ticket to get this year though.

Neil, Arcade Fire, Eddie = awesome.

The rest = blah.

Actually, Beck would be pretty cool.

If you get a chance, go. These shows are really special, I did my first last year and I'm seriously considering skipping a day of grad school and going again.

uh...

I am going to the Sunday show.

please let this finally happen

Didnt they end up on stage together at something for a song or two once?

yeah a few times, but singing "people have the power" with 36 other singers isnt exactly what im looking for

They could do wonders on a CSNY song.

they've both covered "needle and the damage done" on their solo tours...

Mick7184 is right. They played a private function in 2004 and reportedly did a few songs together. It was a Seattle thing I believe and since both of them reside there I guess some of their circles intersected. I don't think they are particularly close otherwise.

This year could be a good opportunity since they are both appearing solo rather than with their bands. But Dave is good friends with Carlos Santana so I think it is more likely they will pair up. You never know, Bridge is always full of surprises. I would have never expected Josh Groban to join the Smashing Pumpkins for Disarm a few years ago. I will be at the Saturday show. It should be a fantastic day of music all around.

yeah, i knew that. it was a private party for the ceo of real networks, who i guess they are both friends. nothing's ever surfaced from this show though.

Eddie has also practiced Watchtower and performed it on solo tours and with PJ so I think that would be an easy song for them to get together on.

I just hope Eddie can get close enough to Dave to kill him.

dave's jewish, im surprised you dont love him

something something jewish....something something money....something something hilarious!

hahahhahahahahaha!
