Uhm...No they did not...Go check out the lineup from last year. Oh and also I was there. I think I'd know if one of my favorite bands was a part of the line up.

Yikes...I have nothing against you, but you're sure making yourself look foolish on this one.

* Bridge XXI October 27 & October 28, 2007
o Performers Included: Metallica, Tom Waits with Kronos Quartet, My Morning Jacket, Tegan and Sara, Jerry Lee Lewis, John Mayer, and Regina Spektor. Eddie Vedder with Flea & Jack Irons were scheduled to perform but cancelled due to a private family matter.

I would love to hear that Mr.Townshend and Mr.Daltrey are going to be making an appearance this year.

I actually thought Pete was better when he played the bridge by himself

I'll bet anything that Conor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes) will appear. He's playing the Warfield in SF on October 24th, the day before Bridge School show 1 and doesn't play another show for over a week. I'm screwed this year, it's my wife's 30th that weekend and I'll be outta town the whole weekend. It's either fun weekend with wife, or Bridge School w/divorce papers to follow ;-)

looks like Conor Oberst is out, he has dates scheduled in Washington and Oregon the weekend of 10.25 &26

Maybe Ed, Flea and Jack will do a make-up gig this year.

This will be in my "things I'm thankful for this year" list at Thanksgiving.

I COULD go for a little Grace Potter & the Nocturnals at Bridge. They are playing Farm Aid. Usually the same artists (besides Dave Matthews & Neil, of course) don't play both, but it could happen.

Rage playing Bridge School is so impossible it's absurd to even imagine. But The Nightwatchman on the other hand. Surprised now, when thinking about it, that he didn't play last years show...

Could definetly see Morello as a perfect fit...

Here's to wishful thinking.

According to Ticketmaster, Tom's in SF a week later, so it's possible!

I never thought Trent Reznor (NIN) could play at Bridge School since it is all acoustic, but he was there in 2006.
