Dead & Company has announced a weekly couch tour streaming initiative as the live side of the music industry continues its indefinite hiatus in the coming weeks–and possibly months–to prevent the communal spread of COVID-19.
The group announced on Thursday that they will begin sharing weekly pro-shot videos of past performances which fans can stream for free on the band’s own Facebook page in addition to the popular online video platform Nugs.tv. Branded as “One More Saturday Night” after the popular Bob Weir tune, the series will feature a new show being streamed on Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST.
