Premiering with concert footage of Gavin DeGraw, Live, and an exclusive performance by emerging artist Cheyenne Kimball, VCAST Performances will include club and theatre performances, tours by Verizon Wireless and special live performance events.

Customers will be able to download streaming video clips of the live music performances as well as new music videos on a rotating basis with up to three broadband quality video clips of every artist in the VCAST Performance series.

VCAST Performances will be produced to maintain the integrity of the authentic performance that concert goers experience. The program is also the most comprehensive available in the industry, with content from over 50 of the hottest emerging and established artists performing across the United States this year.

Some of the venues where performances will be captured include: Atlanta Roxy, Atlanta Tabernacle, Cincinnati's Taft Theatre and Bogart's Showcase Club, Houston's Verizon Wireless Theatre and Club V @ the Verizon Wireless Theatre, Los Angeles' Avalon Hollywood and the Wiltern LG, New York's Irving Plaza and Hammerstein Ballroom, Philadelphia's TLA Theatre and the Electric L. Performance footage will be captured by concert promoter, Live Nation.

To view VCAST Performances, Verizon Wireless customers need a VCAST enabled phone and a $15 per month VCAST VPak subscription. There is no additional cost to view VCAST Performances video clips.

Mobile video is really taking off. Nice to see Verizon moving ahead past the standard 5 minute video clips. Still waiting for broadcast TV.

Live concerts? Seems like a cool idea but with the less-than-optimal lighting and a small screen what's the point?
