Editorial Reviews

On October 24th, 2011, Reprise Records will release two very special and highly anticipated packages: a three-DVD set and a two-CD collection that feature unique live performances from many of the phenomenal artists who've performed at the beloved Annual Bridge School Benefit Concerts over the past 25 years.

Some of the biggest names in music are included on The Bridge School Benefit Concerts - 25th Anniversary Edition, performing rare, acoustic versions of songs, never heard anywhere else, to benefit The Bridge School, a non-profit, innovative organization educating children with severe speech and physical impairments through the use of augmentative and alternative communication systems and assistive technology. This once-in-a-lifetime collection is sure to become a treasured artifact for generations to come.

Artists featured on the three-DVD set include Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, The Who, Tom Petty, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, and much more. Neil Young organizes the event each year with his wife Pegi Young. A documentary DVD includes "The Bridge School Story," which gives a special look into this wonderful school and the truly phenomenal services they provide children with advanced physical and communication challenges. Another documentary on the DVD, "Backstage At The Bridge School Benefit Concert," offers a bird's-eye view of the event itself, along with special features that include heartfelt interviews with the students and the artists themselves.

The two- CD set features exclusive performances from Sheryl Crow, Thom Yorke, Norah Jones, No Doubt, Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, Sonic Youth, and more.

Bridge School co-founder Pegi Young and Executive Director Dr. Vicki Casella explain: "The success of The Bridge School has been ensured over these many years through the extraordinary generosity of performers, artists and musicians. The funds raised by this benefit have allowed us to have a positive impact on children, families and professionals throughout the world."

Customer Reviews

If the Bridge School put out a DVD set every year of their concerts, I would buy it. Jose  |  4 reviewers made a similar statement

5.0 out of 5 stars Unboxing & First Impressions October 22, 2011
Format:DVD
My preorder off the NY/Warners website just arrived today. Just finished watching the first two of three DVDs, the two devoted to the concert performances themselves. The third, as the Amazon description aptly describes here, is a behind-the-scenes look at the school itself and the parents and kids, all of whom benefit from the proceeds of this purchase. Each performance is introduced by these 'complex' kids, a moving testament itself to the great work done by the Bridge School. You can sense their excitement as they take turns priming us for a string of amazing performances by a mind-blowing lineup of talent.

It's hard to know where to begin. Each incredible performance just whets your appetite for a full-length set, or full concert videos. Highlights abound but surprisingly for me, the songs done by Metallica, Disposable Heroes, and Dave Matthews, Too Much, really stood out. Don't get me wrong. I'm not even an album buying fan of either artist, but their incredible energy made these acoustic performances sizzle. Other artists including Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and Patti Smith (and of course a 1989 version of 'Crime in the City' by Neil) put on great shows. Bands like The Who, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., The Pretenders, and Brian Wilson's version of the Beach Boys' 'Surfin USA', are great fun to watch. Duets by Emmylou & Buddy Miller, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, Elton John & Leon Russell, and of course, Simon & Garfunkel, who do a crazy-ass great version of 'America', are all fine as a superbly aged wine. I'd go on but I'm still letting it all sink in and a second viewing is imminent.

Slam dunk recommendation. Just buy this and/or better still, buy a ticket to the Benefit if you're within striking distance of Mtn. View.

5.0 out of 5 stars NPR Early Listen of a GREAT Double Album October 23, 2011
Format:DVD
Thanks to NPR.com and The Bridge School, for the past two hours, I have been listening to the early listen of this extraordinary compilation of the some of the best music and musicians of the past 50 years! The sound quality is magnificent! I attended the M.U.S.E Concert at this venue (Mountain View CA) this past September and some of the songs have the exact acoustical reproduction that puts me back into the arena! I can't wait to see the DVD's Great music, great historical album, and money to a GREAT cause. Buy ten and give them away to friends and relatives and strangers this coming holiday season. Peace

4.0 out of 5 stars I wasn't Disappointed November 28, 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have long waited for this DVD release and I was pleasantly surprised with both the quality of the sound and the video. I don't believe, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that was Neil's intention to capture these events for future packaging and resale. Given this, the videography was better than I expected and the sound more than adequate. The way the DVD is structured doesn't make this a perfect viewing experience as artists have a single song to perform and the result is somewhat choppy and the performances are a little uneven...These are very small complaints - It's a great cause by a great artist..Buy it and enjoy it yourself...

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding January 8, 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an outstanding concert DVD. The history of the Bridge School is explored
from its beginning (am amazing story in itself) and interspersed with the amazing concerts that have taken place. The various artists are introduced by the Bridge School students themselves. The human spirit knows no bounds. It's just an A+ DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why so few songs?
25 years of Bridge School concerts and here are only 12-13 songs per disk. It's not like the songs are that LONG mind you - but for some reason I feel short-changed.
