The 28th Bridge School Benefit was held on Saturday and Sunday night at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA.
Put on by Neil and Pegi Young, who are now going through a divorce, the shows raise money for their Bridge School which serves children with severe speech and physical impairments.
This years shows included both modern (Band of Horses, Florence + the Machine, Puss N Boots (with Norah Jones)) and veteran artists, all of which played both nights except for the special reunion of Temple of the Dog.
