The Bridge Collection

From Uncut Magazine comes word of “The Bridge Collection”, a compilation of 20 years' of concerts. Comprising 80 tracks, it will include Crosby, Stills & Nash, Bruce Springsteen, Green Day, Lou Reed, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., Smashing Pumpkins, The Pretenders, Wilco and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke.

The songs will be available only as downloads on iTunes.

Uncut’s music editor John Mulvey explains the significance:

“This is fantastic news. Young has been promising to unlock his library of unreleased material for years now, only to be distracted by new projects. The appearance last month of his Live From The Fillmore East [1970] set was pretty significant.

"But The Bridge Collection is a monument to Young's influence over generations of rock's finest, and further evidence that - following the streaming of Living With War earlier this year - that he's become an unlikely internet proselytizer. “
