25th Annual Bridge School Benefit

[suprefan]

...

Saturday, October 22 and Sunday, October 23

2 very special acoustic shows

Lineup and ticket information coming soon

[Spooks]

Hopefully Tom Waits will make an apperance again....

[zachyd]

Been trying to think of who could/should play.

I'd love for Bright Eyes to play. That would be fucking magical. Also, maybe DeVotchKa? I can never predict the older random bands though.

[PJandBompton]

25th anniversary, Pearl Jam.

[zachyd]

25th anniversary, Pearl Jam.

Already played their 20th anniversary shows there last year...

[suprefan]

25th anniversary, Pearl Jam.

Ummm, NO.

[zachyd]

Bruce Springsteen?

[WhyTheLongFace]

Already played their 20th anniversary shows there last year...

20th anniversary= Last Year
25th anniversary= This Year?

[guedita]

Ummm, NO.

Ummmm, Eddie Vedder and Neil Young are like best buds. Eddie plays all the time at this.

[getbetter]

Tom Wait= No Shpongle for me

[Gribbz]

^ That would be the correct decision.

[getbetter]

Tom Waits does love to do benefit shows

[IceyHotshot]

I'll have to keep an eye on this. Would definitely make the trip up if lineup's right.

[suprefan]

20th anniversary= Last Year
25th anniversary= This Year?

No.

Ummmm, Eddie Vedder and Neil Young are like best buds. Eddie plays all the time at this.

It was more about having Pearl Jam being there again. Vedder showing up for this wouldnt be too suprising, but Pearl Jam repeating is overkill. Besides, if youre doing a 25th anniversary, you bring in artists covering the whole time. So Vedder alone will suffice.

[TallGuyCM]

Calm down, folks. Pearl Jam plays Bridge School every other year, and they played last year. Which, according to my math, means they won't be there this year.

[Gribbz]

Man, they've had some fantastic line-ups in previous years.

[canexplain]

Man, they've had some fantastic line-ups in previous years.

Yea they do. I went both days for 8 years running.... cr****

[ruskinator]

Per Bridge School's website, the line up will be announced tomorrow! I'll post it as soon as it goes live.

A Handful of Random Guesses:
-Paul McCartney
-Metallica
-Coldplay
-Simon and Garfunkel

Honestly, it's anyone's guess.

[zachyd]

20th anniversary= Last Year
25th anniversary= This Year?

Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary = last year
Bridge School's 25th anniversary = this year

[dorkfish]

Dave Matthews is playing the pre-show gala with Neil and the Grand, so I would suspect it's another year for Dave Matthews.

[guedita]

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - All of my friends from highschool.

[zachyd]

Lol I know it's not very wise to admit on these boards but I am a huge DMB fan. Been to several dozen shows. Just coming home from the caravan at the Gorge. So I'd be happy if Dave played in some capacity.

[ruskinator]

Still nada. A time for the line-up drop would've been nice. Then again, what do they care? It's selling out regardless.

[ruskinator]

Color me impressed:

Not necessarily in order of appearance. All acts subject to change.

Neil Young
Dave Mathews
Arcade Fire
Los Invisibles, featuring Carlos Santana, Cindy Blackman Santana & Guests
Eddie Vedder
Foo Fighters (Sunday only)
Mumford & Sons
Tony Bennett (Sunday only)
Beck (Saturday only)
Diana Krall (Saturday only)
Jenny Lewis

[dorkfish]

Yeah, that's almost as bad as the lineup a couple years ago.

[guedita]

Tony Bennett! I was so bummed to miss him the last time he played at this.

[guedita]

Yeah, that's almost as bad as the lineup a couple years ago.

"BEST LINEUP EVER!!! OMG DAVE & MUMFORD AND SONS" - All of my friends from high school.

[zachyd]

Yeah, that's almost as bad as the lineup a couple years ago.

If this lineup is bad, then idk what it would take to make a good lineup.

[moviebruin]

If this lineup is bad, then idk what it would take to make a good lineup.

Seriously. That lineups is pretty good to me. Can always use the DMB set to go take a piss or something. But, all in all not too shabby. might have to make a trek back up the the bay for this. Only other time went was for Bridge School XX. All i know is gonna get seats this time. The lawn there sucks, especially at night.

I've always wondered where the general dislike for Dave Matthews on this board came from. Anyone I've played him to at least finds him to be talented and enjoyable in some way. Plus the band has one of the best drummers alive.
