On October, 2006?s event some of the biggest names in Rock and Roll performed for this special benefit. A golden glow descended on the stage and Neil Young, the patriarch took off with 'Flags of Freedom,' 'Long May You Run' and 'Comes a Time,'. His wife, Pegi joined him on vocals. Young joined Gillian Welch and David Rawlings on their cover of 'Country Girl (Medley)' from his 1969 album 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.' Neil joined Pearl Jam for a complete live performance of 'Throw your Hatred Down' from their 1995 collaboration, 'Mirror Ball'. Young played organ to Brian Wilson's 'Good Vibrations'. Bridge school benefit regular Dave Matthews Band was also joined by Neil during a performance of 'Cortez the Killer.? The performance was marked by spot-on soloing from violinist Boyd Tinsley. Devendra Banhart's band which featured folk veteran, Bert Jansch performed Crosby's 'Traction in the Rain'. Death Cab for Cutie covered 'Military Madness' originally sung by Graham Nash. Other artists gave knowing nods to Young's legacy. Devendra Banhart, whose band for the day featured folk veteran Bert Jansch, covered David Crosby's 'Traction in the Rain,' while Death Cab For Cutie played Graham Nash's 'Military Madness.'
