Vermont Ave., Los Angeles<\/p>\n<p>Located adjacent to the eclectic Los Feliz neighborhood, the Greek Theatre is one of the best small outdoor concert amphitheaters in the country. \u201cThe Greek\u201d is in a beautiful, wooded area of the expansive Griffith Park. The theater\u2019s 5,801 seats fill quickly thanks to the big name music acts that perform here throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fordtheatres.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\nFord Amphitheatre<\/a><br \/>\n2580 Cahuenga Blvd E., Los Angeles<\/p>\n<p>This intimate, 1,241-seat outdoor venue opened in 1920.
