    That would work out amazingly well.  Bridge shows vary between 30 and 45 minutes for a set?   That seems pretty easy to put a single Bridge performance on a single record.   Boxset of Bridge School performances :) Vault 12. Lets do it :)

    Missed the first, but made the Roger Waters final. Many many in-between.  Only missed 2003 for Pearl Jam. Front row 1996. Totally agree about magical. Simple magic, slowed down, relaxing. Nice to see all the love. Took years for people not local to realize how special. I think there could be another. Why not?

    And I would most certainly be up for any new release PJ related. They could do an album of BSB debuts.

    I went in 2011 (Eddie Solo). Day 2 may possibly be the best day of music I ever see in my entire life.

    We saw Neil Young, Eddie Vedder, Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Tony Bennett, Mumford and Sons, Beck, Santana, Arcade Fire, and Norah Jones. What a day.

    All proceeds to the Bridge School in the honor of the memory of Pegi Young.  Would be amazing!

    2014 BSB was a dream come true. Ever since Matt joined Pearl Jam, I’ve hoped for an opportunity to see him drum for Soundgarden, Temple and PJ at one show. Then it happened at the Bridge making it even more special. After years of wishing and in my backyard. Dream come true. Fucking incredible I tell you.

    The Temple of the Dog portion was Hunger Strike. Have always loved the song and video. My luck to this point was terrible. I had only seen PJ perform it with guest. Never had the pleasure of seeing Ed and Chris perform it together. So, I got it and it was orgazmic. And you know the band could have all been out of tune and Ed could have forgotten all the lyrics, it still would have been the best thing ever. Was for me!

    On the topic of a BSB Vault, I asked Neil if any bands that had played BSB shows had ever discussed releasing their sets.

    ”We will look into that. Maybe some bands will, but record companies have to be dealt with as well.”

    Thankfully there's always been pretty decent video/audio of BSB out there, but an offici-cal release by Epic/Pearl Jam would be awesome!
