    Those two 1996 Bridge School shows might be the best acoustic performances by the band. Every song is excellent.

    Fun weekend in the Bay with the annual Bridge School shows and the Who for two at the Shark Tank.

    from fivehorizons:

    10/19/96 - Shoreline Amphitheatre: Mountain View, CA (Bridge School Benefit) (acoustic) [51m]
    soundcheck: new song, Dead Man, new song, Off He Goes, Around the Bend, Footsteps, Elderly Woman, Nothingman
    set: Footsteps, Sometimes, Better Man, Corduroy (new), Off He Goes, Nothingman, Black, Daughter/(Song X), Elderly Woman, Yellow Ledbetter
    notes: Neil Young announces a "special guest," saying, "I'm just gonna bring him out ... Pete Townshend." Pete (in excellent spirits) performs 'The Kids are Alright,' 'I'm a Boy,' 'A Legal Matter,' 'Let My Love Open the Door,' 'Drowned,' and a great version of 'Behind Blue Eyes.' Patti Smith is just on FIRE. David Bowie plays a set, including 'The Man Who Sold the World.' Although Neil put it when he walked out, "It's called, everything you'd never expect to hear acoustic!" PJ pretty much does the standard Bridge songs we've been hearing for years. Ed, sporting shorter, slicked back hair, jokes, "I just told Neil I had a stomach ache." 'Corduroy' is a very different, slower version featuring a modified tune. The biggest surprise is 'Nothingman' ... only the second time played live. Ed introduces 'Elderly Woman' saying, "This song was written over in the foothills behind you and is the longest song title we have." Brendan O'Brien plays keyboards during PJ's set. Neil set is wonderful, playing 'Helpless' last with most everyone joining him onstage helping sing backup, Patti doing some verses herself.

    10/20/96 - Shoreline Amphitheatre: Mountain View, CA (Bridge School Benefit) (acoustic) [44m]
    set: Sometimes, Elderly Woman, Corduroy (new), Off He Goes, Nothingman, Daughter/(The Real Me)/(Noise of Carpet), Footsteps, Porch (new), Around the Bend
    notes: PJ comes out at sundown ... very nice. Some fans down front on the left have a big banner with "PORCH" painted on it in big letters. 'Corduroy,' again, is the new version from last night. This "new" version of 'Porch' is very, very unusual ... sort of funky/reggae arrangement with some Spanish-like guitar work. Sounds excellent! 'Around the Bend' is wonderful. PJ is on and off very quickly (perhaps to go see The Who's Quadrophenia later). Surprises: Bonnie Raitt and Billy Idol ('White Wedding') each played sets. Bowie added 'China Girl' and 'Whitelight/White heat' to his set.

    Agreed. I'd love to see these officially released in full at some point.


    Also, I'd love to know what the new songs that were sound checked were.

    I have this bootleg somewhere that I bought for like 30 bucks. It had a jar of jam on the front and both nights recording. It was definitely an audience recording but wasn't too bad outside of a girl talking thru Sometimes.
    Can't find a pic anywhere online.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    There he goes off a bridge, smh. Read the title so fast mixing lyrics with what was actually there.
    Oh please let it rain today.
    Those that can be trusted can change their mind.

    Bingo, that's the one. I forgot it was incomplete. What songs is it missing?
