The Capitol Theatre to Host Live Webcasts Of Phil Lesh & Friends Show April 2-5 And April 9-12

"We are thrilled to give fans who are not able to attend the shows in person the opportunity to immerse themselves in the experience of seeing Phil Lesh live at The Capitol Theatre in their homes," said Peter Shapiro, owner of The Capitol Theatre.

The Capitol Theatre has teamed with premier music service provider nugs.net to host the webcasts. Each night will be webcast in both SD and HD for $14.99 and $19.99 respectively.  Webcast passes for each of the four-night runs are also available, along with Webcast+MP3 bundles. Fans can visit http://nugs.tv for more information on how to buy all eight nights or individual webcasts.

For each week of the eight-night run, which harkens back to the Grateful Dead's legendary eight-night run at the Cap in 1971, former Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh will be joined by a rotating lineup of "Friends." From April 2-5, Phil will be joined by John Kadlecik, Larry Campbell, Teresa Williams, Jeff Chimenti, Joe Russo, and special guest Boyd Tinsley, the dynamic violinist from Dave Matthews Band. April 9-12 will include Lesh, John Kadlecik, Joe Russo, Marco Benevento, Jackie Greene, and special guest saxophonist Bill Evans, best known for his collaborations with Miles Davis.

ABOUT THE CAPITOL THEATRE
In the early 1970s, The Capitol Theatre was one of the Grateful Dead's preferred concert venues because of its extraordinarily good acoustics. The Grateful Dead performed 18 concerts at the venue from 1970 through 1971. In 2012, the theater was re-opened as a renewed and revamped music venue with state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems. The new innovative owner, Peter Shapiro, has re-established it as a rock 'n' roll sanctuary.

ABOUT NUGS.NET
Launched in 1993 as a fan site for authorized live music trading, nugs.net turned professional in 2002 when Phish teamed up with nugs.net Founder Brad Serling to officially release downloads of every concert they played.  Soon Metallica, Robert Plant, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tim McGraw, Grateful Dead, and 1,000 other artists, festivals and labels tapped nugs.net to distribute their live concert recordings.  Most recently, Pearl Jam shifted their long-standing Bootlegs program to nugs.net for CD and download fulfillment.  In addition to the live download, CD and webcast business, nugs.net founder Brad Serling hosts a weekly show on SiriusXM Jam On featuring recent live music from nugs.net’s catalog.
