in The Porch
This year is Neil Young's 30th Anniversary for The Bridge.
It has an epic lineup. I took one look and realized that my choices
must of been heard.I can't believe that I'm finally going to see Roger Waters.
And I'm hoping in my heart of hearts,That the boy's will be there.
If not,At least Eddie,Because I would love nothing more than to hear those
two do "Mother" together. My dearest Willie will be there too.
Along with Dave Mathews,Who sings one of the sexiest lines of all time.
"ah,Hike up your skirt a little more,Show your world too me." So sexy!
Cage the Elephant,My Morning Jacket, Nora Jones,Nils Lofgrin,
And of coarse we can't forget Neil himself with his band.Promise of the Real
which has Willies son in it. Please,Please,Please Boy's come join the fun.
It wouldn't be the same without you. Sincerely Donna Ruhl

    What a tremendous line up! The boys joining on the party would just be one helluva way to put the icing on the cake. Either way still an amazing line up. Enjoy.

    I wish I could go!

    (An aside on that Dave lyric...it always irritated me some, as there is so much more to women than what's between their legs "their" world. Some dude said that to me, I'd deck him =) )

    you forgot Metallica
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    Recalling 2014, enjoy a 30-minute nap during Norah Jones, Donna.

    I'm actually going to be out there for my college reunion. I'm glad PJ isn't playing so I don't have to decide between seeing them and hanging with my friends.

    I appreciate everyone's own taste, but I seriously do not get the appeal of Dave Matthews at all. If you took him out and subbed just about anyone else in, I'd be far more keen on this lineup. In contrast with past years, especially 2014, this one does not appeal to me that much. I'm happy for you others that are excited though. Glad personally, as I'm broke after all these PJ shows, and also am doing Desert Trip the week before. Gotta save some money for Temple of the Dog posters!

    The times I have seen Dave Matthews solo or with Tim Reynolds have been much more enjoyable than the times I have seen him with his band.

    That lineup is stacked. I really hope they give us a live stream option this year. They did a few years ago through YouTube and it was great, although I understand why they stopped. Assholes making asshole comments about the kids.
