*** Bridge School Concert 2 Fanviews Here 10/26/14 ***

That black version and tag was unreal....and the jam at the end of throw your hatred down
thanks Sea

Awesome couple of days at Bridge...loved Black tonight!

Just got home, took my 16 year old cousin to see PJ for the first time (my 10th). She called 4 of the 8 songs this morning, including predicting hunger strike on back to back nights. I told the kid to call me next time she had a good feeling about some lotto numbers.

I felt like they could have slowed Sirens down a little more to start and I wasn't a huge fan of the voice of the guy that came up for just breathe but then again I don't know anything about music composition and it's a tall order to sound good on the same stage as EV and CC. Black was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Elderly Woman live 3 times in 5 days incl Denver.

Anyway it was an awesome show and weekend. Great to keep meeting more and more of you folks - definitely looking forward to rocking out in 2015.

Awesome, Thanks Sea !

I know some of the Bridge School performances have been made available by many artists on iTunes over the years but would Pearl Jam make their own performances available for download as a kind of mini-bootleg and pay proceeds to the Bridge School? These would be amazing additions to our PJ collections and the school would benefit from many of us paying to have them.

Not the first time it's been suggested and certainly gets my vote! Bit of a no-brainer, really.

Throw Your Hatred Down was insane...short video here: instagram.com/p/uqZRsHE8kc/

For those of you curious about other band's setlists I tried my best to tweet them out between set breaks ... https://twitter.com/knewnez
I'm sure I got a few titles wrong and others I had no clue.

Pearl Jam needs to do an acoustic tour because these tiny bridge sets are such a tease. I love their regular shows, but their acoustic performances are extra special.

I had hoped Willie Nelson and his harmonica player would be at Bridge this year to join PJ in a version of Just Breathe, so when his son Lucas came out to sing along, I felt like my wish came true! My husband and I especially enjoy the Willie Nelson version of JB and often sing the lyrics to one another.

Florence's 'Southern Man' performance with Neil and company moved me to tears.

Neil Young is clearly in love with mother Earth. On Saturday night he invited the musicians out to join him for, "Who's Gonna Stand Up (and save the earth)" despite none of them knowing the song. Eddie was the only one who came out, and when the song ended I was surprised it was the finale of the show (usually the grand finale is a more grand!). Well, Neil made up for it Sunday night as all of the bridge musicians joined him on stage and he had the audience all singing along, as only Neil can do.

The only sad part of the finale was that Chris Cornell looked super medicated (although I adore Matt Cameron, I'm not a Sound Garden fan). Seeing CC so out of it made me feel sorry for the guy.

I usually never video tape during shows because it interferes with being present in the moment, but my seat was so awesome I couldn't help myself. However, my phone memory filled up during PJ so I wasn't able to capture much of their set, nor was I able to film any of Neil's set.

For me, Florence and the Machine was the highlight of the show, and I was able to capture much of her amazing vocals:

Yes he did. He did not sound good.
