Members of Metallica are set to play acoustic for Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit.
The Bridge School Benefit concerts have been running since 1986. Organised by Neil Young and his wife Pegi, the stellar line-up has previously included Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Simon & Garfunkel, David Bowie, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco, Paul McCartney, and Brian Wilson. Proceeds from each concert have gone to help The Bridge School in California support children with severe speech and physical impairments.The 2007 event features Young, obviously, alongside Tom Waits & The Kronos Quartet, John Mayer, Regina Spektor with repeat appearances from Metallica, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Vedder with Flea and Jack Irons, and Tegan & Sara.
The 21st Annual Bridge School Benefit Concert will take place at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View in California across the weekend of October 27 and 28.
Both nights will be recorded by LiveMetallica.com and sales of downloads from the site will also go to The Bridge School.
