Bridge School Benefit 10/21

fantastic line-up: death cab for cutie, trent resnor, foo fighters, brian wilson, dave mathews, pearl jam, neil young.the night went pretty much as youd figure. decent seats, sat next to the oc (above), a bunch of kids whose drunken mom paid for the tickets. the people behind us actually asked them to talk quietly so that the rest of us could hear the concert.


deathcab...exactly as youd expect. harmless mom rock.
trent reznor...flipping amazing. intense and powerful. won the night, and im not a nin fan.
foo fighters...grohl headbanging on an accoustic set. good times.
brian wilson...seemed angry and disoriented. used the prompter for most of his lyrics.
pearl jam...set was way too short. true vets of the bridge school stage.
dave mathews...studio musicians jamming it out. solid artfulness.
neil young...poor neil. followed (with his full band) dave mathews. most people started to leave. we left after song 3. the set was loose and the musicians didnt seem to know where they were going.


aside from that, a pretty bang-up shoo.
