What is Video Games Live?
The first major U.S. video game music concert tour is finally here! Think music concert, theatrical stage show, and interactive video game all wrapped into one!

Video Games Live will feature the best music and video clips from the most popular games from the beginning of video gaming to the present. Games include:

Mario™, Zelda®, Halo®, Metal Gear Solid®, Warcraft®, Myst®, Final Fantasy®, Castlevania®, Medal of Honor™, Sonic™, Tron, Tomb Raider®, Advent Rising, Headhunter, Beyond Good & Evil™, Splinter Cell®, Ghost Recon™, Rainbow Six®, EverQuest® II and a special retro Classic Arcade Medley featuring over 20+ games from Pong® to Donkey Kong® including such classics as Dragon's Lair, Tetris, Frogger, Gauntlet, Space Invaders & Outrun!

It will be a stellar event, which includes performances of the music, video and specially designed laser and light sequences showcasing over 50 different games in a wide variety of styles. Also included of course, is a special segment focusing on retro arcade classics!

This touring event will include a retrospective segment from the beginning of the video game era up to the present, several segments with game footage on three giant video screens, handheld cameras showing orchestra, and character close-ups. There will also be an interactive segment where selected audience members will actually play a game live onstage while the orchestra plays the music.

Wow, this actually sounds neat. I'm tempted to buy tickets for the 15th as well.

Hmm.. Tuesday eh? And no school on wednesday? hmmm....

Sounds cool... I just find it funny that it's being held here at the Detroit Opera House.

Edit: Sounds like the Dear Friends: Music from Final Fantasy concert, except bumped up with lasers and more game footage.

I've heard of it. I remember when they came through last year hearing commercials for it on the radio. I'd like to go, but not sure if I'll make it or not. They are coming through my town on a Monday night.

It looks pretty cool though.

Tuesday, November 1 Denver, CO Paramount Theatre 7:30 PM Cancelled

WTF?!

Wingless · 10-11-2005, 10:25 AM

Yeah the only downside is that it's on a Monday night here. Someone needs to make a better schedule :-P

Siege · 10-26-2005, 05:07 PM

Not sure if anyone knows/cares, but the REST of the shows have been CANCELLED except for the Seattle and Vanvouver shows.

Super bummed that I won't be able to see this

Wingless · 10-28-2005, 07:36 AM

Thats what they get for trying to schedule something on a Monday night

Siege · 10-28-2005, 09:04 PM

Well, many concerts are scheduled on the weekdays. Doesn't seem to stop most concert go-ers.

Church · 10-31-2005, 09:17 AM

Yeah, damn I got the letter last week about the cancellation. Fuckers

Wingless · 11-01-2005, 10:20 AM

Siege: if it wasn't cancelled, it would've stopped me

Fluxx · 11-02-2005, 08:18 PM
