The 2006 '''Bridge School Benefit''' took place on October 21 and 22, 2006, at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. The Bridge School Benefit is an annual benefit concert organized by Neil Young and his wife to raise money and awareness for the Bridge School, which provides education and support for disabled children and their families.
These concerts were unique in that they were the first (and so far only) solo acoustic concerts for [[Trent Reznor]], though he also appeared solo for two songs at the [[2005/09/09_Los_Angeles,_CA|ReactNOW ReAct Now Hurricane Katrina Benefit]] in 2005. He was backed by a string quartet, playing a selection of [[Nine Inch Nails]] songs, including instrumental pieces. In a 2020 interview[https://www.pollstar.com/article/marc-geiger-talks-nine-inch-nails-the-upward-spiral-as-trent-reznor-gets-his-due-146771], longtime NIN booking agent Marc Geiger said of the show, "I remember him doing the Bridge School Benefit for Neil Young, he played with a string quartet, and we were in tears. Neil Young came back into the dressing room and said it was the most powerful, most innovative performance that had ever been at the Bridge School. That's kind of what Trent does, and that's what I take from him."
