In 1999, a few years before we lost bassist John "Ox" Entwistle, Neil and Pegi Young called upon The Who to perform at the annual Bridge School Benefit Concerts at Shoreline Amphitheatre. The shows took place on October 30 and 31st with The Who performing nearly identical sets each night. While The Who went unplugged for the gigs, in keeping with the Bridge School concerts tradition, we love that Ox utilized a heavy fuzz tone on his acoustic bass giving the performances an edge. Professionally-shot footage [...]

Guns N' Roses made their first-ever appearance at the Bridge School Benefits last night at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif. where Axl Rose and Co. stuck mainly to hits Appetite For Destruction and the Lies E.P. during a seven-song set. In fact, Better, off of 20082s Chinese Democracy, was the only song performed which was written in the last 23 years. Pro-shot footage of the set from a webcast has surfaced and the first track we watched was Welcome To The Jungle which is just horrible. Axl sounds [...]
Last night, Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California hosted the first night of this year's Bridge School Benefit concerts .

Neil and Crazy Horse headlined yesterday's festivities and offered a set similar to those played on this tour, with a big hitch - the band performed unplugged. For the Rockin' In The Free World finale, Young welcomed many of those on the bill to lend a hand. [Screenshot via [...]

Sin lugar a dudas, éste debe haber sido un fin de semana agitado para Beck . El músico no sólo dio el viernes pasado su primer concierto tras dos años de silencio sino que también se sumó al grupo de mega bandas y solistas que participaron del tradicional Bridge School Benefit , show anual a beneficio organizado por Neil Young y su esposa. El concierto de vuelta de casi dos horas en el Uptown Theatre de Napa, California, incluyó un repaso de la extensísima carrera de Beck tanto en versiones eléctricas [...]
Neil Young's annual benefit for the Bridge Schoo l in Mountain View California is taking place this weekend.

Photo by Philip Cosores Though their cover of CSNY's "Helpless" with Neil Young is the easiest part of the set to pick out (and we have here ), the fact is that Arcade Fire delivered a stunning set on Night 1 of the Bridge School Benefit from start to finish. Below you can watch the whole thing, which includes a slowed down and stunning "Empty Room" and a concluding rendition of "Wake Up" that brings back all the magic of the song again. [...]
