I just saw Videogames Live and it was awesome! We were able to take our own stuff to the venue where they played and I hate a whole roasted chicken, some grapes, and had a bunch of beer. But besides the awesome venue, I really enjoyed the show and it was well worth the price of admission, whoever gets a change to see it should definitely go for it.

Did they play Baba Yetu from Civ IV?
I think they have played it before.
"Baba yetu yetu..."

I would love to go to see something like that, unfortunately it doesn't appear that the tour will be coming anywhere close to me anytime soon. Oh well maybe one day...
I'm jealous now... :P

Little bit lost here...
Any chance of a summary for those of us from outside the US?

From what I can gather, it is an orchestral concert that plays music from popular video games. Don't know much more beyond that but here is the Wikipedia Page and the official site
Edit: "Video Games Live™ is an immersive concert event featuring music from the most popular video games of all time. Top orchestras & choirs perform along with exclusive video footage and music arrangements, synchronized lighting, solo performers, electronic percussionists, live action and unique interactive segments to create an explosive entertainment experience!" -From the official site

Thanks!
TBA on an English venue, but it will most likely be far from me.
I'll stick to buying/downloading various MP3s. Which reminds me, I need to go check Amazon for a couple of folks.

One does not hate roasted chicken (no matter which part), grapes (no matter the quantity) or a bunch of beer (no matter the quantity here as well). You, sir, disgusts me.
Also, that sounds awesome.

That's pretty cool! I have the soundtrack, and it's very well-done. My favorite tracks would be God of War, Myst, and Castlevania.

As cool as those orchestra shows are, I prefer small bands doing covers.
Such as these:

It was a lot of fun. I would have been happy with just the show, but laying on a blanket on the grass having a picnic made it even better, I was very happy with the venue. They'd play music and have videos of the games running on screens, and each time a game would be showed, I'd just go "I could really go for playing that game right now." It was fun for everybody, all the little kids that had gone with their parents were loving it as well and they would freak out whenever a game they knew was on screen (which was a lot, I didn't expect a 12 year old kid to be able to name all the Castlevanias)
Hahaha. Well, as I had meant to say, I did have a lot of beer, which would explain the typo.
They did, and it was really awesome.

Here in Denmark, we have Press Play On Tape :-D

Nice! Their Monkey Island theme is pretty cool.

Yup. I've been to see them a number of times. One of the coolest moments ever was this (the back of my head is somewhere in that video). Another was at a concert last year where they played the music from "Still Alive" (the song from the end of the game Portal), and the entire audience sang the lyrics. IIRC, they didn't even put the lyrics up on screen, everyone present just knew them by heart. Sadly, there's no YouTube video of that :-(

Just seen it, right after Monkey Island's one. That's just amazing!

Oh man... I wish I could have been there :D
