Many Halloween Couch Tour Webcast Options Available

Halloween is a big holiday in the live music world as acts from across the country usually have plenty of surprises in store for their October 31st performances. For those who can’t make it out on Halloween night, there are plenty of options to watch live music from home or wherever you have an internet connection.

Let’s start with Umphrey’s McGee who return to the road next week for a pair of shows in Athens, Georgia followed by a Halloween run of three performances in Milwaukee. Umphrey’s has teamed with TourGigs to present Athens Couch Tour and Halloween Couch Tour. All five webcasts are available individually or as part of bundles. Looping replays will be available for about 24 hours after each show.

As previously reported, Widespread Panic will offer rare video webcasts of their October 30 and 31 performances in Asheville. LiveWidespreadPanic is serving up live video webcasts in standard and high-definition formats. The webcasts are expected to begin at 7 p.m. ET each night. If past Widespread Panic Halloween performances can serve as a guide, you can expect the band to treat fans to cover debuts and bust outs.

Phil Lesh is back and seems to be in fine form. The Grateful Dead bassist begins a run of shows at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York October 30. Phil will be joined by Stanley Jordan, John Kadlecik, Jason Crosby and Tony Leone performances on October 30, Halloween and November 1. Nugs.tv has announced webcasts of all three shows in both standard and high definition formats starting at 7 p.m. ET each night.

Nugs.TV is also offering webcasts of two upcoming the Disco Biscuits shows. Webcasts of both the quartet’s October 29th performance in Boston and Halloween in Syracuse are available.

Another option previously reported takes place on SiriusXM’s Jam On which will broadcast select sets from The String Cheese Incident’s Suwannee Hulaween festival live from The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida.

For something completely different, Yahoo! Live has announced free live webcasts from all three days of the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans October 30 – November 1.
