Anyone seen this yet? I'm pretty sure I'll be heading to the November 25th show in Cincy, I'm pumped already.

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!

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.

An Interactive Video Game
A handful of lucky audience members will be selected to come up on stage and actually play a video game while the orchestra plays interactively with them!

Not a bad idea.

Though would the orchestra have to accomodate for sounds that occur when you die, go to the next level, etc.? That'd require an almost excessive level of focus and timing on their parts, but damn it'd be cool to be playing a game on a huge ass monitor and have the audio 100% replaced with an orchestra.

I was seriously considering flying to Vancouver just to see this one weekend. Unfortunately, I'm much too busy with college to be able to take a whole weekend like that. I HOPE they come to Edmonton on another tour! I'm sure they will come back because you just know the turnout will be great!
