Jennings Landing — Attraction in City of Albany

I saw Dokken here at Alive! @ 5. Truly a very nice venue and concert series. Although it was hot, there was a nice breeze off the river. The sound wasn’t great, but they tried to dial it in during the show. Mellow crowd, beers were reasonable, unobtrusive police presence… I’m coming back.

It's surrounded by 19th century buildings that have held the test of time what...
