    Jay Leno’s new primetime show debuts on NBC on Sept. 14… but he’s pulling out the big musical guns early — Bruce and Eric Clapton will be the musical guests on Thursday, Sept. 17. Leno says he wants to feature innovative musical pairings on his show… Fire up your DVRs!

    How does one get tickets for that show?

    Si,

    I’m pretty sure you have to write and they send them to you. There may even be a lottery system involved. But being that this is his first week back, I would guess all the tickets are gone by now. You could always hop on a bird and try to get in the day of the show.

    It would be great if Jay stole a page from Kimmel and had the musical acts perform outside to give it more of a concert vibe. Either way, Bruce and King Clapton are gonna set things on fire that night!

    David,

    Send me some of that BBQ’d squirrel! 😆

    That’s the link to tickets. I know they say it takes four to six weeks, but for Bruce I would say its at least worth trying. If I wasn’t still recovering from my shoulder surgery and could go for a trip to CA..I’d probably have tried myself.

    I’m sure with the opening week of the show its going to be tough to get tickets..but ya never know.

    Good luck to anyone who tries and let us know if anyone gets to go!!

    DAvid, not only do I hate BBQ crap, now you have to add both squirrel and Molo to the mix. I think I’ll pass. 😆 I’m just first now recouping from you guys at the Biltmore. :? And I don’t think MOnica can eat that either with a sore shoulder. :P Monica, I’m just trying to help you out here. :)

    That was an easy decision if it’s in CA… I thought it was New York!

    Problem solved.

    When’s the last time a music act got this kind of primetime network exposure? I mean, other than in some cheesy reality-show context?

    I think the Leno Show is going to be popular at 10 p.m., and I predict Bruce will gain all kinds of new supporters from the appearance. :D

    My only question is: who is going to do the “cosmic kiddo rap” from “Space is the Place,” since Bruce’s sons’ voices have obviously changed since they first recorded it at age 11, I believe? :?:

    I was back in Wisconsin (or as Vic likes to refer to it: Minnesota) for the past 9 days so I was out of the loop. No squirrels or bbq crap back there. Just good ol’ meat and potatoes and piece and quiet fishing on a lake. :D DAvid, I wonder how you, MOlo and I would fair in a boat together. Someone would surely go overboard. 😆

    SMP,

    In keeping with good spirit today, Bruce’s album release day, I’m simply going to say: “Welcome back!” :D

    Yes, of course! :D Picking up “Levitate” after work and on vacation the rest of the week. Just keeping the good vibes flowing for Bruce today. Love all the press he’s doing and looking forward to his spot on Leno Thursday.

    I can’t wait for Leno!! I’m sure Bruce will blow everyone away with his talent and obtain a slew of new fans. Have a great vacation!! I see some others got their cd in the mail but I haven’t rec’d mine yet. Hopefully today. :P

    I guess I’m kind of old school. I like going to the record store and checking out new stuff there and buying new music that way. 8-) By the way, anyone know if “Levitate” is being released on vinyl?

    SMP,

    It would be you and David in that boat together. You won’t see me floating on water any time soon! 😆

    David,

    Caught Bruce on Leno Show tonight…
    Fantastic version of “Space is the Place”. I did not realize that all da’ Noisemakers would be in attendance as well. Clapton was…..well, he was Clapton to the core. Loved the guitar!

    Looked in the audience for any obvious Bruceheads…if you were there, you hid quite well. ;)

    Welcome back to the loop, Missed ya’, Mr. Willis……..

    Less cosmic rapping and more Clapton guitar … I liked it! It was good to see the Noisemakers there as well. JT looked spiffy. :)

    I thought they got a huge round of applause. When’s the next TV appearance?

    The boys hit it hard on Leno last night! Will have to watch it again today to make sure I caught everything. I’m echoing Vic here, but I want to see Bruce on more TV shows! Kimmel usually lets bands do 2, sometimes 3 songs. That would be a good fit.

    It’s funny … I think “Space” is about my 8th-favorite song on the record (though they did a great job with it on the TV show). But it’s a shame Bruce couldn’t play Black Rats, Prairie Dog, Cyclone or Continents on Leno.

    Bruce mentioned in one of the (WaPost?) newspaper articles that the Leno appearance wouldn’t have happened without Clapton. 😥 I hope Bruce and the band can get some of the other songs out there in front of these large TV audiences!

    I think Dana said Bruce is scheduled for Regis and another show or two. Anybody know the air dates??? :) Thanks.

    Vic
