Davy Jones and Forest Hills

Oh, wouldn't it be nice to have concerts once again at our stadium? So much history there and there could be so much more...Anyway, rest in peace Davy.

ARTS Davy Jones, Monkees Singer, Dies at 66

Davy Jones was a singer and, by long-held public consensus, the handsomest and most popular of the Monkees, the collectively young, longhaired, wildly famous pop group of the 1960s and afterward.
The group’s critical reception was not unsurpassed. In 1967, in an article about one of the Monkees’ relatively rare live concerts of the period, at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, The New York Times said:
“Frequently during the performance, sound that resembled the lowing of a sick cow hovered over the stadium. This turned out to be one of those horns often heard at Shea Stadium during baseball games. It didn’t seem to hurt the musical evening.”
