The New York Pops and Music Director Steven Reineke unite with Roger Daltrey on Sunday, June 17 at 8:00 p.m. (doors at 6:30 p.m.) at Forest Hills Stadium for a special, one-night-only performance of The Who’s ‘TOMMY’. The orchestra and Daltrey are joined by a band of seasoned Who players, including guitarist/backup singer Simon Townshend, guitarist Frank Simes, keyboardist Loren Gold, bassist Jon Button, and drummer Scott Devours.
The concert marks The New York Pops’ return for its fourth season at Forest Hills Stadium, presented by Q104.3 and Madison House Presents.
Considered one of the seminal albums of the rock canon, The Who’s ‘TOMMY’ includes classics such as "Pinball Wizard,” “See Me, Feel Me,” and more, and was last played by The Who for the first time in 28 years at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of a benefit concert for the Teenage Cancer Trust. The performance also marks Roger Daltrey’s return to the Forest Hills stage, after his summer 1971 appearance when The Who performed as part of a sold-out, two-night stand.
The New York Pops’ appearance is generously supported by Morgan Stanley, Blue Marble Cocktails, American Airlines, and Wigdor LLP, with additional support from the City of New York and the New York City Council.
Omg! This one looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI love Tommy! The movie version freaked me out as a child, but as a teen I realized just how awesome the music is. Need to go!
ReplyDelete"The performance also marks Roger Daltrey’s return to the Forest Hills stage, after his summer 1971 appearance..." Didn't Roger Daltrey perform at Forest Hills in May 2015 during their 'The Who Hits 50' tour?
