Bridge School Benefit Concert: Sat. October 25th, 2008

Last night marked another concert I can add to my list. I love going to see live music. Pop, Jazz, R'n'b, etc. It's all good. Last night I went to the Bridge School Benefit Concert at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View.

The Lineup: Neil Young, Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan, Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco, Cat Power, Band of Horses.

I really liked Jack Johnson, Sarah McLaclan and Death Cab for Cutie. Norah Jones went too country/dixie for me to enjoy. I thought Cat Power's voice was also awesome. Was a good experience under the stars on a chilly evening in the Silicon Valley.

Today, they're gonna be adding Josh Groban and Smashing Pumpkins.

Next Concert: Madonna, Oakland Arena, Nov. 1st

Bands/Solo Artists I've seen in the past:

Some Context: Some of these performances were seen in massive-lineup-style (a la 102.7 KIIS FM's Wango Tango) or a solo concert with opening acts. Some of these peformances I didn't seek to see but happened to be performing. In many cases, I've seen artists before they 'broke it big' when they were an opener, etc. So yea... don't judge. Haha.
