The Who's October 13, 1982 concert at Shea Stadium, the now-demolished, longtime home of the New York Mets, was released on DVD and standard-definition Blu-ray back in 2015. Now, Mercury Studios is returning to that thunderous gig - the band's second of two shows there - for an audio release on 2 CDs or 3 LPs. Live at Shea Stadium 1982 preserves The Who's tour stop in support of It's Hard. In front of an enrapt New York audience in Flushing Meadows, Queens, founding members Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, and John Entwistle joined with drummer Kenney Jones to perform both new songs and old favorites. The 1982 North American tour was ultimately the last one to feature Jones in the drummer's seat, and The Who's final such trek until 1989. (Jones replaced the late Keith Moon for two studio albums, 1981's Face Dances and 1982's It's Hard.)
