2010 Summer Vintage Rock Concert Coverage

If you regularly check in with Rolling Stone and Billboard, you know the 2010 summer concert season has turned out to be a bust…for some. Indeed, numerous cancellations and underwhelming sales receipts are a harsh reality of the music business. But for a few noble souls, it’s business, rock and roll style, as usual. Thanks to stellar summer SoCal venues like the Greek Theatre, the Pacific Amphitheatre and the Queen Mary Events Park, Vintage Rock has been given the opportunity to cover some of the greatest acts in the world. Check out our reviews and photos of shows that went on without delay or doubt this summer.
