Music legends played Rock Creek Park's amphitheater. Can it reopen?

In its heyday after it opened in 1950 and through to the '90s, the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Rock Creek Park sold out its 4,000 seats for shows by legendary musicians. Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen and Chaka Khan.
'D.C. was a huge music town, and this was the place to play,' said Brian Joyner, the National Park Service's superintendent of Rock Creek Park, which oversees the facility in Northwest Washington. 'Everyone worth talking about wanted to perform here. This was the place to be and see entertainment.'
