Richie Sambora To Honor Les Paul 7/22-23/14 at The Iridium NYC
 

(June 9, 2014 – New York, NY) To mark the great Les Paul’s birthday today, Richie Sambora has just announced three very special live performances in celebration of the icon’s pioneering legacy.

Richie Sambora Honors Les Paul will take place July 22nd (one performance) & July 23rd (two performances) at The Iridium, the famed club where Paul performed weekly for 12 years until his passing in 2009. These not-to-be missed shows promise to be impressive nights of authentic rock ‘n’ roll, celebrating the electric guitar sounds and versatility made possible by Paul’s inventive mind.

For fans that are not able to see these incredible performances in person, the July 23rd show will air this fall on Public Television’s Front and Center. All merchandise will benefit The Les Paul Foundation. http://www.lespaulfoundation.org

Tune in to Richie’s Twitter today (@TheRealSambora) to grab an exclusive fan code for tickets to the July 22nd show at Iridium NYC. Tickets for the July 22nd show go on sale June 12th. Tickets for the Front and Center live tapings on July 23rd go on sale June 13th. VIP and standard packages will be available. Stay tuned to www.richiesambora.com for all ticketing details.

Reunion starts now! :lol!: JBJ has his KOS trip that same week...maybe he'll have a 'very special guest'. Richie and X can have a guitar off.
Being serious- one would imagine they will talk perhaps? Love to be a fly on that wall.

JBJ? KOS? X? nahh

I thought X joined JBJ/KOS last month in Mexico at the fan club gig?

He did and he joined JBJ and KOS just recently for a corporate gig in Orlando.

But it has nothing to do with Les Paul Shows.

At any rate- I wonder if JBJ & Richie will meet and try and mend fences? *my X/Richie thing was a joke...

I'd really be surprised if they did. I think the damage to those fences will take a great deal of time.

Agreed, the reason they haven't hashed it out can't simply be because they haven't been in the same city since the fighting.

Update: Ticket Info
 

...Sorry we crashed your server, Iridium folks! So, here's the key info.

RICHIE SAMBORA has announced three shows in NYC. All...at THE IRIDIUM in New York City to honor the 99th birthday of Les Paul. All three performances are tied into the FRONT AND CENTER Public Television series; RICHIE will be taping an episode to run this fall.

The TUESDAY, JULY 22 show goes on sale tomorrow morning, JUNE 12 at 10:00am EST exclusively through TICKETWEB. In order to ensure that SAMBORA fans had best access to tickets, you must use the CODE that was Tweeted by RICHIE. First come, first served. When the tickets are gone, they're gone.

If you're lucky enough to get tickets to the JULY 22 show, you'll have a previous of what the tapings will entail. Bonus: you'll be able to bring cameras and take photos like you would a regular show.

There are two (2) shows RICHIE is doing on WEDNESDAY, JULY 23: An early show (at 8:30pm) and a late show (after 10:00pm). These are both being taped for FRONT AND CENTER. Tickets to these shows are open to the public and go on sale via TICKETWEB at 10:00am Friday morning, JUNE 13. No code is necessary. For these tapings, please note you may not take any photos.

There will be a commemorative t-shirt available and poster for sale. All proceeds will go to the LES PAUL FOUNDATION.

The Iridium is small. Really intimate. And it's set up like a cabaret (long tables)...More tickets are available to the July 22 show; fewer tickets are available to each of the shows on July 23 doing to the space that TV cameras will take up. The seats furthest in the back are priced at $85.00 each. The majority of seats are priced at $105.

For this event, there are a limited number of VIP SEATS for $215.00 each. The VIP Package includes a seat down in front right by the lip of the stage. Each ticket also includes a commemorative poster (the same that is for sale) signed by Richie Sambora. And, each VIP ticket also includes a MEET & GREET with RICHIE (photos are welcome.)

For the VIP Packages on July 22, the Meet & Greet would take place AFTER the concert. On July 23, the Meet & Greets for the EARLY show will take place BEFORE the performance. The Meet & Greets for the LATE show will take place AFTER the performance. (This helps the production crew doing the taping and moving the first crowd out while moving the next audience in.)

This is the best up-to-date info we have for you now. Good luck tomorrow morning...We know many more people will want to come to the shows than the club can accommodate... but we know that we'll be able to share it come autumn with the FRONT & CENTER TV Special.

Merchandise sales will be donated to the Les Paul Foundation. Visit RichieSambora.com for additional info. Thanks for being so passionate (you crashed a server!) and patient.
