Libera on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" & "Today" (NBC)

Post by JimmyRiddle »

Came across this news this morning before I had to drag myself off to work.

More info about the show as been updated on Mini Angels site http://mini-angels.blogspot.co.uk/2013/ ... -with.html Suffice to say it's a huge honour for Libera to be invited to perform on this mainstream program and testament to their popularity in recent times. I can only think of the 2007 Kennedy Centre Awards of being something similar to this.

Anyway a few questions; How many will be attendance? and will they be doing any more promo work while they are over there?

And they added "While we are in the USA we plan to make some other TV appearances, yet to be confirmed."

I thought they might be doing other PR work - great news.

Looks like the video clips on Jay Leno site are not available to those outside the US, so you might have to watch them via a Proxy - free to d/l if your okay with occasional ads floating across the top.

This may be Libera's most watched television appearance ever.
The promotions department at their new label must have worked extra hard
to land this invitation. Hope it generates a bunch of new fans and some
enthusiasm for an American tour in 2014.

According to post at AV there is something on Official site (or Facebook or twitter?) Saying they hope to do more interviews while in US. This makes a lot of sense. However important LeonNO IS THE MORE THEY DO MAKES THE TRIP MORE COST EFFECTIVE

..appears there has been an amendment to the scheduling.... http://www.nbcumv.com/mediavillage/netw ... 499524.xml
Wednesday, December 25... (9-10 a.m.) Keeping the Christmas spirit all year long. Christmas Day animals. Christmas Day cooking. Libera performs.
Edit: Scrap all that, Wayne Benner ‏@TygrHawk just clarified the important bit that I overlooked because it looked exactly same as the previous press release;

COMING UP ON “TODAY” ... so it's a different program entirely... that means two US performances in the lead up to Christmas. :)

The Today Show is another well known program. Another very big TV appearance landed!
The promotion department continues to impress. :D

Is this right? Will it be prerecorded? I can't see the boys being away from home on Christmas Day. I may be wrong of course but...

I would have thought so - I'm guessing they will have a few days in the US next week, and will probably be home by next weekend. Some video clips on both sites now seem to be playable without going through a proxy - so there's a good chance we'll be able to view their performances. This was Alexa Ray Joel's performance on Friday's 'Today' show, so gives an idea on the setting.

thanks for that and the clip jimmie. I guessed they might pre-record just as they did for all those radio interviews.

Libera has posted a short video on his Instagram account.
It shows the boys in a room at NBC studio, waiting to record a song for the "Tonight with Jay Leno" show :)
