Recession?
Not in the summer concert season, at least judging from the early results.
The Post-Gazette Pavilion schedule is filling up with all varieties of shows, from country to punk to metal to actually modern pop like No Doubt (pictured).
Some of the shows, like Jimmy Buffett and Phish, have already sold out.
