Concerts will return to the Mountain Laurel Center, an amphitheater in Bushkill, Pa., according to the venue’s website, which states “The music is back in the Pocono Mountains” with a countdown to an April 19 announcement.
During its run from 2003 to 2007, the venue, with a capacity of about 10,000 including covered, reserved seats and a general-admission lawn, seemed to never find its footing, booking spotty schedules and struggling financially. We attended the 2003 Bob Dylan and 2007 Allman Brothers Band/Bob Weir & Ratdog shows at the venue, which is located in a bucolic setting and boasted above-average sound and surroundings; that said, the small staff and limited facilities seemed overwhelmed and unprepared to handle the large crowd at the 2007 concert.
