Stream: The Bridge School Concerts 25th Anniversary Edition

The Bridge School Concerts 25th Anniversary Edition NPR says: “As much as this collection speaks to widespread support of The Bridge School, it also speaks to the gargantuan respect musicians maintain for the Youngs themselves: You don’t find many collections of live music broad enough to bring together Tony Bennett, Sonic Youth, Sarah McLachlan, Metallica, Jonathan Richman and No Doubt. But they’re all here, expertly recorded and placed lovingly alongside three different iterations of Neil Young as a performer: CSNY, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, and a collaboration between Young and R.E.M. As a whole, The Bridge School Concerts 25th Anniversary Edition — out Oct. 24 — is generous in every sense of the word, asking listeners to support its cause while stuffing itself with incentives to do so. ”
