Intel To Cybercast Bridge School Benefit

Intel will cybercast the 13th annual Bridge School Benefit concert, which will be held this weekend at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, Calif. The show -- which will feature performances by the Who, Pearl Jam, and Brian Wilson, among others -- will go online starting at 5 p.m. PDT Saturday and 2 p.m. PDT Sunday at www.intel.com, music.yahoo.com, and www.bridgeschool.org.

The event's musical lineup of is one of the strongest in recent years. Aside from the aforementioned acts, other performers will include Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams, Billy Corgan and James Iha of Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, and Neil Young.

Young, a perennial performer at the event, founded the San Francisco-based Bridge School in 1986 along with his wife, Pegi, and Jim Forderer. The facility serves physically challenged and severely speech-impaired children.

The Bridge School concert will be a rare chance to see many of the participating groups perform live. For example, Pearl Jam has not played out in over a year, while the Who have not performed live since 1997, when its remaining three members toured the U.S. with the rock opera "Quadrophenia."

The event webcast, which will not be archived, may be viewed with either Real Player or Windows Media Player software. In between set breaks, archival footage from past Bridge benefits and interviews with Bridge School students and personnel will be shown.
