The Bridge School Benefit, which raises money for children with severe physical impairments, has been held almost every year since 1986. It's organized by Neil and Pegi Young and it always boasts one of the best line-ups of the festival season. Previous shows have featured stripped-down sets by David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, the Who, Pearl Jam, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan and too many others to mention.
