Bridge School Benefit Concert

It is a Silicon Valley classic, but for me it was the first time: The Bridge School Benefit Concert. This event, hosted and programmed by American Music Legend Neil Young, is held every year to support the a school for children with special needs.

Last weekend a few friends and I saw performances of, amongst others, Death Cab for Cutie, Sarah McLachlan, Band of Horses, Wilco, Norah Jones and Cat Power. Mr. Young himself closed the afternoon and evening.

I thought the concert was a lot of fun and the music, especially Sarah McLachlan and Death Cab for Cutie, was pretty darn good. But the reviewer with the San Jose Mercury News disagrees: "Bridge School Benefit Hits Low Point" was the headline in Monday´s paper. Well, if this was a low point then the other benefits must have been amazing! I´ll be back next year.
