I thought all of acts where awesome. KD Lang, Flamming Lips and Jake White were the top. Of course these acts could have been longer but it was a great day.

Went on Sunday. Felt robbed for missing Eddie.
There was a long lull before anyone rocked it. Mix the bands up more and get some rock in there. I love Sarah but she played long and I was getting depressed.
Foster the People were my favorite.
GNR=Forgettable.
Please get a better lineup next year. Don't think I will go next year unless my attention is sparked.

Not the lineup Neil has scored in the past. Neil was great, Steve Martin hilarious and talented, Jack White incredible, Sarah sang too long despite the fact that I love her. Way too late (and rockin') for a Sunday. Weather cooperated nicely. Nice not to be so crowded (advantage of not so great lineup).

Decent concert this year, some good, some not so much. Loved Jack White, Steve Martin, Sarah McLachlan, and of course NEIL! Thank you for singing "Needle and the Damage Done". Did not like Guns & Roses at all, Axel is screechy and ugly, yuck. Oh and thank you Eddie Vedder for showing up. The gals in front of me said No he won't show up he's in Vegas but I said well that's so close I'm sure he will show up, and of course he did. I will continue to do this concert year after year as long as it runs, long may you run.

This is the show i look forward to most every year, and the only reason i will make the trip down to the Shoreline. Neil consistently curates a top notch lineup of artists, who are all gracious enough to donate to their time to this very noble cause.

What a line-up! and two days later I'm still recovering. Actually, it may have been a couple acts too long. Show began at 4:00 PM and ended at 1:00 AM, nine hours. I can only imagine how the stage crew is feeling right now. Real talent was heard all night. Gary Clark, Jr. Wow! it is good to hear blues in the tradition of Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy continued for another generation. kd lang has a marvellous voice. Foster the People introducing several acoustic instruments to enhance their set, Flaming Lips 'Taps", Sarah McLaughlin, Ray La Montagne, Lucinda Williams, Jack White, Guns n' Roses... I hope i didn't leave anyone out. Surprise, Eddie Vedder... but the real talent of the evening, the man who remains as one of the top guitarists ever recorded. Neil Young and Crazy Horse was spectacular. The new music from Psychedelic Pill is awesome!

I have attended the Bridge school event some 17 or so times. This one was the least memorable for me personally. Neal didn't seem to have as much energy as usual, and having Axel Rose trying desperately to sing was a huge mistake.
I will still support the event however, because I think it is a worthy cause and a chance to get my Neil Young fix.

Some early surprises were very good - Gary Clark Jr and Ray LaMontagne stood out to me. KD Lang was good, but not memorable. The "fiddle" player for Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers got a standing ovation with a stellar performance. Lucinda Williams was OK, Foster the People (good, but weird, introverted performers with some good ideas), Flaming Lips similarly good but a bit hard to engage with fully, Jack White and the Chick Band (it was strange to see the all girl band, it would have come off less indulgent if he'd bothered to introduce them); Sarah McLachlan was wonderful, Guns N' Roses...well, they tried, but Axel just doesn't have a voice anymore, so it was very strange...sort of sad, but it was nice to hear some oldies & goodies.

Wonderful event. I thought there were some really great musical moments by many performers, leaving more impact on me than the odd misfires.

I appreciate Neil will invite almost any current or former star to perform, but guns and roses was the worst performance I have ever seen at the bridge school. Poor song selection, obliviousness to the tenor of the evening, but worst thing was they sounded awful.

Loved it. The lineup was great and although the concert was long, the time flew by. We brought low chairs and they worked out great. We also brought our own picnic of food which was delicious and homey and also helped offset the expensive drinks ($12-16oz beer, $8-wine).

This was mostly a forgettable show, but there were definitely a few highlights. Sarah Mclachlan and Jack White were both fantastic. The rest of the acts were good and entertaining, but not spactacular. Axl Rose was a disgrace and we left after 2 songs. The best part of the evening was Eddie Vedder's impromptu performance because GNR was running so late. I guess after last year's concern (which was outstanding from beginning to end!) my expectations were way to high. That said, this concert is for a great cause and I would definitely go back again.

Another great show, too bad Axl's voice broke....his band were gracious and talented.
I wish seats could be available within the first 10-15 rows of the stage to regular people..
It always seems impossible to get anything that close.
The bass was way to loud during Jack White's performance.
Lower food and non-alcohol drink prices!!!!

Agree with other assessment of the Watchtower song, however my favorite was seeing Neil Young and Dave Matthews reviving Stephen Foster's Oh Susannah in a fresh, exciting, listenable ballad. All was uplifting, both musically and emotionally; seeing the Arcade Fire fans giving Tony Bennett his props, and VISE VERSA!. This event was without trite out-trotting of old artists showing up for diehard fans, new bands trying to win new converts, and fans fretting over THEIR favorites. Instead, new artists stunned and won over, and the older pros brought it. It had the feeeling of a giant family reunion, where utter volunteers left well-paid, and it seemed all ticket buyers got their respective church "on". Cindy Blackman's drumming got my church on. Mumford and Sons and Arcade Fire helped me get my church on. Seeing old bearded bikers on Lawn chairs, singing along with old anthems of our generation, as well as chanting new choruses learned just that night, kids, watermelon, need i say more? For me, the ideal of a show without any of the drawbacks. Spaces between sets, while bands broke down and set up, were sometimes filled with absorbing big screen videos of the Students, the School,, Neil or Pegi Young telling you something, or enhancing awareness, or past performances, duets of such a rare caliber as to be worth the ticket. Well done.

Tony Bennett and band, especially Harold the drummer. Dave Matthews/ Tim Reynolds and Marcus Mumford performing Dylan's " ALL Along The Watchtower " was amazing. Carlos Santana and Los Invisibles, outstanding. Eddie Vedder doing his gig, especially dedicating " Last Kiss " to Maricor, one of the Bridge's students. Foo Fighters were very cool. What can I say but the total show was amazing. Best Bridge yet, in my opinion. I have to mention our brothers, Third Pole Posse, good guys and women. Kareem, Nathan, Rasheed, and the rest of the Posse were great neighbors on the lawn! Can't forget Neil Young for all his great performances with various artists, and his wife, Peggy the driving forces whom put this Benefit together.
