Neil Young performed: Two opening songs and a solo set each day; he did “Ambulence Blues” and “Country Feedback” with REM each day; did “Harry Hood” and “Helpless” with the band Phish on the Saturday and did “Four Strong Winds” and “I Shall Be Released” for a finale on Sunday with Phish & Sarah McLachlan.

0:00:00 – Losing My Religion
0:05:09 – New Test Leper
0:11:00 – Country Feedback
0:20:11 – Daysleeper
0:23:57 – At My Most Beautiful

Peter Buck – guitar, mandolin
Mike Mills – bass, vocals
Guests:
Ken Stringfellow – guitar
Scott McCaughey – guitar, keyboards
Joey Woranker – drums, percussion
Neil Young – lead guitar on “Country Feedback”

This is excellent quality and although I wouldn’t call it a great performance, it has some great moments and is an interesting set for several reasons. This was shortly after Bill Berry’s departure and the release of their first post-Berry album Up. They didn’t tour this album so their headliner appearances at these Bridge School benefits was a big deal at the time. Several songs get their live debut here and the core trio is augmented by several notable guest musicians, including Neil Young playing lead guitar on “Country Feedback.”

FLORENCE and the MACHINE – ” What The Water Gave Us ” Bridge School Benefit 25/10/2014

Florence + The Machine played her first US show in nearly a year last night (26 October), as part of Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit Concert. Florence and the Machine was an absolute revelation to many in the crowd, delivering arguably the best set of the day. But if some fans weren’t all familiar with the material, they couldn’t deny the voice — so big, so moving, so powerful. Band leader Florence Welch’s vocals were every bit as stunning as the red velvet suit she wore onstage.
The British singer, who has stayed relatively quiet in both the UK and the US over the past couple of years, confirmed earlier this year that she’s working on her third album. Her second, Ceremonials, was released back in 2011.

At Neil Young’s annual fundraising gig, which also included Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Young himself amongst the line-up, the singer performed an acoustic set which drew from studio albums
