Canada Mike brought up a good point. How many do you think Uncle Neil has left in him??? Will the show go on?I'm 50/50 right now. Flights are spendy and I haven't had any luck trolling for tickets yet. They released some decent (200 level) one two days ago, but I balked. Nothing since...
 
They will be streaming live tonight and tomorrow, very cool. Just go to The Bridge School Benefit's FB page for instructions. LINK.

No idea who is on right now, so not sure if they're on schedule or not

 
Watching this year's BSB live right now. K D Lang just finished with Cohen's Hallelujah. She sounded great on that one, damn. Wasn't into the other song or two of hers I caught though...

It's only 5 bucks to watch online and goes to a really great cause -- all of it. The feed is excellent, btw. It's worth coughing up a 5 spot just to see what Axl does during the GNR set. :yes:

Steve Martin and band are on now, btw. What a talented dude.

They sucked. Wayne couldn't sing and the crowd got quiet. Then it got worse when they tried to cover the Beatles. Mistake. From the beginning he was scrambling to get the audience behind them and it didn't work. The more he did it, the more desperate it looked. Then he tried to give a little speech and that also didn't fly. There was actually heckling, which you never hear there...it's always a good, mellow vibe...part of what always makes it so great. Surprised. :shrug:

I've seen the Flaming Lips 10 or so times and they have never missed. Their music is arranged such that they don't miss. And I have a very hard time believing that the audience at a Bridge show was heckling Wayne Coyne. Especially when it's coming from a drunk guy excited to hear Axl Rose front a Guns N' Roses cover band.

So let me get this straight, you're telling me what I saw and heard last night? AND what I didn't? Were you there or do you just know? And your reasoning is because a band you like has "their music arranged such that they don't miss"? Got it. Thanks so much for rearranging my opinion. Now I know what really happened!

Are you talking about me here?

Boy that's a high horse you ride, brother.First of all, I wasn't close to drunk last night. I stayed in and watched this from a couch. And I'm certainly no GnR fan (another wild assumption) and was interested in them as much for pure comedy as anything. If you re-read my comments, you'd realize that. They were the funniest/worst part of the show and the first and only thing I posted about their performance was this: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:. That would mean that I was laughing at them. HTH.

Are you somehow offended by my dislike of a block of music from a band you must love? Who cares? It's just an opinion. Regardless, LOFL at trying to say none of what I saw, actually happened.

Christ, tell me you at least saw the show. You didn't even see the show, did you?

Hi Apple Jack, I was just reading a review of the show you didn't see (but knew so much about) and couldn't help but think of you and your Flaming Lips. Here's a snippet:"It was a truly mediocre outing for the rockers, yet it came across as absolutely masterful in comparison to the Flaming Lips set. Talk about a major reality check. The indie-rock band, which arguably ranks as the most overrated act in music history, is accustomed to preaching before the already converted. Lead singer Wayne Coyne could burp and his fans would likely dub it as genius. The Bridge crowd wasn't having any of that. Listeners first seemed bemused and befuddled, then downright bored, by the band's cheeky, cutesy tunes. Coyne kept pleading with the disinterested crowd to show more energy and make some noise. And his request somewhat worked -- there were times when the applause actually drowned out the crickets."

I guess they didn't "arrange their music such that they don't miss" this night. LINK to review of the show. Sure, the guy's not a fan to begin with, but if you actually watched their set, fan or not, and don't think they bombed, you are out of your mind.

Well if this non-partisan reviewer says they sucked, it must be so.

First of all, that's not my quote. That was a bay area writer's quote.An who said he was non-partisan? I certainly didn't; I said you could tell he wasn't a fan. He does have some credibility as a journalist, no? Read the rest of his review, he pulled no punches with any other band. It was not a good Bridge School this year, period. The Flaming Lips, and I have nothing against them, actually should've been able to really shine in that lineup, one could argue.Whatever, the point here is I wasn't the only one that thought they sucked. Apple Jack pretty much lambasted me; why, I have no idea. Meanwhile, critics only confirm the letdown I said it was.Defending something you didn't even see or hear, much less attacking someone else's view of what they actually did see, is pretty ridiculous.
