The New York Pops and Music Director Steven Reineke returned for their fourth season at Forest Hills Stadium-the historic sporting and entertainment venue located in the Queens, New York neighborhood of Forest Hills-for a one night only performance of The Who's 'TOMMY' on Sunday, June 17 at 8:00 p.m. Presented by Q104.3 and Madison House Presents, the concert featured Roger Daltrey, 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.

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' Kids in the Stadium program, supported in part by concert presenters Q104.3 and Madison House Presents offers more than 1,000 Queens children and their families an opportunity to attend and learn about live music for free for a fourth consecutive year. 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.
