Rebellion, freedom, love, innovation and independence: these qualities define the American dream as well as the American brand of Rock and Roll. This concert experience includes many of the great rockers who gave a voice to those shared working class values from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Artists like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Bob Seger define that unique American expression.
