GN'R Playing 26th Annual Bridge School Benefit Concert / Sat show web stream

[LIGuns]

I have a really cool acoustic Pearl Jam bootleg from this. As someone stated maybe there will be a Neil Young/Paradise City jam...or American Wasteland intro into PC!!

[SlashRxR]

This is the first time Axl has played the Bay Area in 6 years

[AdZ]

Nice! Very cool, a lot of memorable shows have happened at these Benefits.

Weird how Gn'R isn't headlining.

Not at all. As the organizer and primary donor this is Neil Young's event - he has been doing this for 26 years and nobody, not Metallica, not Bruce Springsteen, not Guns N Roses should go over him

This is a great opportunity to hear GNR do some real special material, maybe add in some covers (new covers) or acoustic reworkings of old songs....I think the usual Greatest Hits set would just be null and void at such an important occasion as this, they need to add something really special into the set

How things have changed, eh, remember when GNR were playing nothing and going nowhere....and look at them....

[Kaleigh]

Do most bands play just one night or both, and do they state which before tickets go on sale? It'd be my first time going to one of these, and I don't know if I should get tickets for both nights or just one. Obviously it goes to a great cause no matter what, but it's easier on the wallet for me if they're playing just one night. So excited, everything about this makes up for the six years of no northern California shows!

[CBGNR]

More good news.Full steam ahead

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I don't remember the shows being expensive

There are two price levels.

$47.35
$171.00

And unfortunately, no GA at this venue.

Most bands play both nights. They'll post the lineup soon.

If Axl sang with Flaming Lips? My head would fucking explode.

Do events like this ever get streamed over the internet?

Just going by what I found on You Tube, it appears they are filmed, plenty of Pro Shot video from previous years.

[Chief]

Did they change the venue configuration?  I went a few years ago and there was GA but it was in the back area.

Awesome, if it doesn't get streamed live I'm hoping we get to see the guys playing. New pro shot material is always welcome.

There's still the lawn GA up in the back, but for some reason they don't list it as purchasable on the Ticketmaster/Livenation pages for the events yet, though I've heard on other sites it's $35 for one or $99 for a four-pack, both on the lawn.

Will they announce which bands are playing both days or if any of them are just playing one before the tickets go on sale? I'm stressing about that a little bit haha.

[Summer Romance]

The Bridge Benefits have been streamed for a few years running now so I have fingers crossed that we may get to see this in any eventuality!

I'm not sure why you're saying the lawn isn't purchasable.  The show doesn't go on sale until Friday.  I've sat on the lawn for other Bridge School Benefits there, so it will be purchasable.

[Kaleigh]

Oh yeah I didn't mean it wasn't purchasable period! Just that they hadn't listed everything by what level it was, just the price, though I'm assuming the $35 range on the ticketing sites is for the lawn, since every show I've been to at that venue has utilized the lawn even if I haven't sat there.
