Original post made on Jun 16, 2017

As a longtime fan of the Bridge Concerts, going back to 1986, I am saddened by this news, but fully understand why Neil and Pegi feel they cannot keep this going forever. Many thanks to them for their tremendous contributions to the Bridge School, and to our musical heritage!

"Citing personal reasons..." Enquiring Minds need to know.

There is now officially only ONE reason to keep the Shoreline Amphitheater open, and that's the fireworks. Mountain View gets no benefit at all from the rest of the drug users, gangsters and loser acts who visit. I'm not surprised that the Bridge School backed out after recent drug arrests and the recent murder at the Amphitheater. I wouldn't want my school associated with that.

Sell the land to Google on the condition that they run a fireworks show for the public benefit every year and be done with it. Call in the bulldozers.

Shoreline Amphitheater has always been an enjoyable venue to go to for myself and friends. I do not agree with Juan. I hope that the music concerts will continue at Shoreline. I do not know why there has been bad behavior by patrons lately, but maybe it has to do more with the individuals attending, not the concerts. Google has taken over enough of Mountain View. We do not need Google taking over and destroying Shoreline Amphitheater also. It sounded like Neil Young has health problems and that is why he pulled out of the Bridge Concert.

The noise from last night's concert. - Korn? Was horrendous over here in Palo Alto.
