You can watch a live webcast starting at 7:30 p.m.Eastern.
No, Lucinda and Doug will not be performing but a lot of the usual suspects will be there.http://www.glidemagazine.com/hiddentrack/this-saturday-bridge-school-benefit-webcast/
I see one of my favourite bands… Arcade Fire…Grammy winner of album of the year for “The Suburbs” will be there.
lwjThis was a 7 and 1/2 hour MARATHON to watch live on You Tube last night and early morning today.
Here was the lineup:Neil 5:10 – 5:20…Devendra 5:20 – 5:40…Norah Jones/Little Willies 5:55 – 6:20…BECK 6:35 – 7:05…Santana/Los Invisibles 7:15 – 7:45…EDDIE 7:55 – 8:25…Mumford & Sons 8:45 – 9:15…DAVE & Tim 9:35 – 10:10…Arcade Fire 10:25 – 11:00…NEIL & lots o guests 11:20 – 11:558:15pm (All times PDT)
Pegi Young opened the show with a little background on the School and introducing everyone of the special needs kids backstage by name including their son, Ben. Very touching.
Because of the length of the show, I caught Neil and Pegi’s first 3 songs,Devendra(from Venezuala), Norah Jones, took a looong nap and then Dave Mathews & Tim Reynolds singing Oh Susannah, Arcade Fire at 2:30 a.m. EDT with NEIL joining in singing “Helpless” Have a watch.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smYgk7EWEEsThis was the first ever live webcast for the School and was of superb quality with no buffering.
The only downside which I recified quite quickly by closing the comments and watching in full screen, was the on line tweets from nasty Trolls around the world.
There were quite a few Bridge School videos shown between musicians including a very heart warming one with NEIL and Jeff Tweedy being interviewed by one of the special kids.
All in all, worth staying up for.
You Tube is streaming the entire show again today only.lwj
