Dead & Company Announces Couch Tour, Letting You Stream Free Concerts at Home

More free music/entertainment to car­ry you through these bleak, strange times. Dead & Com­pa­ny (the sur­viv­ing mem­bers of the Grate­ful Dead plus John May­er and Oteil Bur­bridge) are mak­ing con­certs free to stream at home. And the first one gets under­way tonight.

They announced on Twit­ter:

Stay at home this week­end and tune in to “One More Sat­ur­day Night”, a new #Couch­Tour series fea­tur­ing your favorite Dead & Com­pa­ny shows, for FREE.   We’re kick­ing things off with the 12/2/17 Austin show this Sat­ur­day at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT on http://nugs.tv and on Face­book!
