Few shows can match the amount of musical surprises and heartwarming sentiment regularly found at Neil Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit concerts. Held in scenic Mountain View, California, the shows, which date back to 1986, raise money for the Bridge School, an educational outlet for children with severe speech and physical impairments. Each year, Young performs alongside a handful of artists he invites, who play acoustic renditions of their hits and album tracks. Previous guests include Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, and Phish. This year’s concert featured Chris Martin of Coldplay, Monsters of Folk, No Doubt, and Fleet Foxes.

The fourth volume of The Bridge School Collection, featuring 22 live tracks, is now available on iTunes.

The latest edition features tracks from John Mayer, Norah Jones, My Morning Jacket, Tom Waits, Death Cab for Cutie, Regina Spektor, Tegan and Sara, and more.  Proceeds from the iTunes digital downloads will be donated to the Bridge School.
