Jones Beach, New York 2007 Summer Concert Series

Jones Beach has one heck of a summer concert series. I’m new to this area and I’m just stunned at how much is going on in the New York area in the summertime. I know, it should be no surprise. It is New York, after all. Jones Beach has concerts AND a beach. What could be better? Unlike the Summer Stage concert series in Central Park, the Jones Beach concerts are not free. There still are some great shows, thought.
