Too-far - sooooo right on! After all, this is the band's 2nd visit!!!!
hope you are having a good summer...

[toofarnorth]

Thanks, Tekawitha . . hope you are too . . your 2nd visit comment segues nicely to why I came back to the thread :)

There's a video of GPN's 2007 Tonight Show appearance up on the Home page.

I was wondering, if you were Grace and the others, what song would you push/pick for Leno?
I think Stop the Bus is the perfect song. That really is a damn good song, but I bet they go with Paris.
What song would you pick if you were GPN? I'd pick Stop the Bus. It is perfect for that kinda crowd and TV audience IMO.

[Snowbird]

What I would pick and would they would play are very likely two different things. I'm pretty positive they will play something off the new album, to help promote it, so I would doubt you'll hear Stop the Bus. It will probably be Tiny Light, but I'd prefer to hear Oasis for the new rocker. If they can do two numbers, it'd be nice to have them showcase one of the ballads - Colors is such a great song lyrically, I'd like to see it get airplay, along with Things I Never Needed or Low Road.

[Saygracenow]

After some careful consideration I'm thinking the band should play Mr. Columbus on Leno.

BTW- Hot Summer Night got some love on WXPN yesterday.

[toofarnorth]

Read so many pieces I can't remember what in . . but wasn't there a mention somewhere of Paris being the next single ?
Paris might not be daytime talk/news show friendly . . works just fine for late night though.

[Karen]

Colors, with Grace at the piano. Who could help but love her in that setting, with that song? Slow tempo would let all the other parts stand out as well. Jay

[garyjohn]

Yeah, it's got to be from the new album so Jay can hold it up when he introduces them and says, 'from the new album.' Does anybody know much about Leno.
I never watch it either. Will they do one song at the end to close the show, or more than one?

[eric]

it would almost have to be paris, on both of the upcomintg tv spots. jimmy kimmel might let them do more than one song, not sure. hes really not that funny i never really liked him so i dont know his show.

gpn will get snl eventually, that will be all kinds of fun. 2-3 songs at least (possibly more for the live audience) and maybe a skit. at this rate it will happen a lot sooner than i thought maybe 8 weeks ago

[Snowbird]

After some careful consideration I'm thinking the band should play Mr. Columbus on Leno.

BTW- Hot Summer Night got some love on WXPN yesterday.

MICHAEL!!!! You just never say never do you - love you for it, even if I can't say the same about Mr. Columbus!!

[garyjohn]

Yes, this is a good time to be GPN's manager. With all this talk show footage coming up, how could SNL say no?

[animal]

Yeah...Grace tweeted that Paris would be the new single and that it was free on Amazon the other day

[joester]

Tivo is set - I found a feature that let's you put in a search name - I entered Grace Potter - Tivo lists and will record
anything Grace Potter. pretty cool. It only goes about 10 days ahead - so Jimmy Kimmel does not show up yet, I'll keep a watch for it to be added.
one month exactly until GPN at the Waterfront :)

[Saygracenow]

"one month exactly until GPN at the Waterfront"

The excitement is starting to build! Can't wait.

[toofarnorth]

Just bumping the thread up the food chain for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

July 15 .. Grace and the Nocs .. Leno's Tonight Show .. tonight !

[JackieinCT]

I cannot wait! I am hoping they do Colors, but will probably do Tiny Light, right? Maybe they can do Colors when they go to pick up their Grammy(s)!

[toofarnorth]

I'm leaning toward Paris ... it seems to be the next single and it works for a late night audience . . .
but my crystal ball just hasn't been the same since it rolled down the stairs :D

[eric]

Leno was awesome! complete domination of all in attendance, as well as those at home watching. i got lucky and got home right before GPN started. they were amazing
