The Who's Roger Daltrey Performs in NYC

One of Empire’s longstanding corporate clients engaged us to deliver an evening of music featuring the legendary lead singer of The Who—Roger Daltrey. Presented for an audience of approximately 500 guests at the beautiful Tavern on the Green in Central Park, the client, a lifetime fan of Daltrey’s, celebrated another successful year through the voice of one of the most iconic rock vocalists of all time.

Starting with a private reception and meet-&-greet for 25 VIP’s, Daltrey made everyone feel like they had known him their whole lives. Roger and his band then delivered a high-energy concert featuring 75 minutes of hits, including many by The Who such as “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Behind Blue Eyes”, and a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s classic “Have You Ever Seen The Rain”. The performance was punctuated by Daltrey’s incredible stage presence and storytelling between songs, and the crowd smiled and sang along throughout the show.

Daltrey and the band had so much fun that they delivered three additional encores, including a performance of The Who’s anthem, “Baba O’Riley”, featuring a breathtaking violin solo.  

Working closely with the client team, Empire delivered the artist as well as all technical production, staging, talent logistics, coordination, and stage management to ensure a successful event.

Empire is honored to have produced many of the world’s greatest rock icons for our clients’ events, including David Bowie, Heart, Adele, Bono, Pat Benatar, The Pretenders, Elton John, John Fogerty, Aerosmith, and so many more.
