 Stunning Line-Up November 19, 2008
The nice thing about this is: it's live and acoustic. Forgetting about the huge mega charity concert events like Live Aid for a moment which are often more hype and spectacle - this grassroots album is a heartfelt reminder of what music is about. The result is a really nice collection which gels together seamlessly from track to track, but assembles some great music.
What I'd really like to know is how they got such a stunning line up of singers to perform for the school benefit! Neil Young, Elvis Costello, Bowie, Pearl Jam, etc. A eclectic ensemble but one that sings in unison. Couldn't be better. Get it and support the Bridge School!
the bridge school concerts November 17, 2008
I enjoyed the c.d.and the great artist that took the time for such a great cause like the Bridge. I enjoy Neil Young`s music and am a great fan. My Heart goe`s out to Neil,Pegi and family for all the hard work to help all these gifted children. Will look forward to the next Bridge Concert. J.C. Milwaukee [P.S. Does Neil ever take a rest? Take care Neil.
Live and soulful songs November 11, 2007
This is as good as any good album by any of the artists featured here. There are some stand out songs/performances and some good ones and some okay ones. "Live" makes a difference. Favorites are by Elvis Costello, Tracy Chapman, and Patti Smith.
 Music's Best Kept Secret! July 26, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Unless you know what the Bridge School is, you'd foolishly pass this work of art by... The Bridge School is a 'Stellar' school for handicapped children, located near Stanford University in CA. The concerts at the Bridge School are like having the likes of David Bowie, Edward Veddward and Neil Young playing their hearts out in your backyard, for you (apologies to EV), because you are such a wonderful person. The Lovemongers (I think are Ann and Nancy Wilson of HEART) version of Led Zepelin's (sp) Battle of Evermore is 'jaw dropping'. This CD is, simply put, Music's Best Kept Secret... Buy it
The best Various Artists compilation disc ever made February 15, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Compilation discs are a dime a dozen and many are quite good but many more are a waste of time. My review title is not hyperbole. First, all of the artists who appear seem to ratchet up their performances because they are playing for such a terrific cause established by one of contemporary music's most respected stars. Even though the artists all donate their talent to the Bridge School Concerts, one can surmise that getting a call from Neil and Pegi Young to appear is a thrill.
Naturally, all of the performances are excellent since they have been carefully chosen from many shows, but my favorite tracks are the five in a row from Simon and Garfunkel, David Bowie, Pearl Jam, the Love Mongers (the Wilson sisters from Heart), and Nils Lofgren.
Bowie's complete set here has been widely bootlegged and it's easy to see why. Likewise, Vedder's vocal is brilliant, but the Wilson sisters cover of Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore is uncanny.
The fact that all of the performances are unplugged is an added treat since most of these songs are electric in their original incarnations.
Please do yourself and the Bridge School a favor and buy this c.d.
