Video Games Live returns!
 

http://www.videogameslive.com/index.php?s=dates

Sydney and Tokyo in there... I'll tell ya, I wish I were actually going on the tour itself.

Cool, but come to Florida DARN IT

Seems like this particular event is going to have some competition from PLAY. I was all ready to go before the events got cancelled, but now with PLAY at Chicago, and with Mitsuda there to boot, I can't say that VGL is winning any propaganda victories for me.

I wonder what will be new at the Hollywood Bowl this time around. I didn't get to make it to last year's show, though overall, I don't regret it. I'll likely be picking up tickets this time, however.

I just wish the Northeast would get some love. :-/

So it's like Play, except with Beyond Good and Evil?

Awesome.

So I wonder how long this will last before all the concerts gets canceled.

Haha, amen.

No east coast shows? Bummer :(

How many shows did they do before cancelling last year? I can't believe I missed this thread and found out today from a co-worker. I'm going to the San Jose show :D

I guess this is the revenge that us on the northeast coast get for hogging the greatest city in the world (New York City), Broadway, and the country's best museums: no video game concert love.

At least it hits Chicago while I'm working down in Sandusky... not TOO far of a drive.

2. Seattle and Vancouver. I went to the Vancouver show.. and it was quite impressive, even though it did have Tommy Tallarico in it.

I went on Friday in San Jose. I wasn't exactly impressed, especially after going to see 3 of the Final Fantasy concerts. This was more of a "show" than an actual symphony. I should have expected it though. I'm mad that I paid for the most expensive seats when the acoustics suck no matter where you sit. :p Still, it was interesting to see nonetheless.

Hi everyone,

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I just started posting here and someone directed me to this thread and I just wanted to make sure all the questions were answered.


Florida.... we're already working on it!


T.T.

*wishes that central Canada got more attention*

I've never seen any VGM concerts but I'd definitely pay to go see one. What VGM fanatic wouldn't?

Yeah... it was tough on us last year when Clear Channel decided not to go ahead with the rest of the tour (they ran into some financial restructuring which unfortunately we got caught up in). But NEVER for a second did our dream die. We've been working on this long before the Play or Dear Friends concerts and because we ARE the video game industry the dream will never fade away.

It was a real bummer for us to announce 25 cities and then only play a handful of them. I'm most disappointed for the fans who waited so long for something as new and unique as this to come to their hometown.

But it just took a little longer and now Jack & I are in total control so we never have to worry about a big investor pulling out ever again. We were the first to play Seattle, Vancouver & San Jose... we'll be the first to play Philly (next weekend), the first to Toronto, Montreal, Indianapolis, Houston and many other exciting announcements and countries.

To be honest, the Play concert is much different than Video Games Live. The great news is that no matter what style you prefer or like... there is awesome video game music being played all over the world!!

Doesn't need to be a competition... and although the Play! folks seem to take shots at us when they do interviews... we do not feel the same way.

Facts are facts... our shows are different and because of our design we appeal to a much wider and broader audience. You don't need to be a gamer to enjoy what our show has to offer because of our synchronized video & lights, interactivity with the crowd, free pre-show festival and meet & greet with composers & designers and of course... our tickets are half the price so the whole family can attend. Tickets at our Hollywood Bowl show last year started at $1.

:D

It will NEVER happen again! We have ensured that!

We've also partnered with all of the cool gaming, anime, sci-fi, comic-book and table gaming conventions all over the world! Instead of trying to do too much at once (6 weeks/25 cities) we are not doing one show at a time in the beginning and building each market successfully.

We are constantly adding shows and we currently have a few coming to the East Coast.

I would recommend signing up to our mailing list on the front page of our site (www.videogameslive.com) because they get all of the newest info and special ticket offers before anyone.

thanks,

Tommy

Yeah, I was happy to see that one, but unfortunately that's the date of my graduation.

Thanks, though. Maybe sometime in the future. :)

New York is a VERY expensive place to put on a big production. But hopefully we'll have some exciting news soon.

But Philly is this weekend and it's pretty close to NYC so hopefully you'll be able to check it out.

We're playing Montreal!

Exact date will be coming soon. Please sign up on the mailing list and you'll be the first to know and get tickets before they go on sale to the public (so you'll get the best seats).


T.T.

For reference sake, Montreal is not central Canada. I live smack in the middle of the country, and Montreal is at least a 35 hour drive. Like virtually all music tours, nothing doing for Manitoba or Saskatchewan residents.

Let me just say : Thank You !!! This improves the chances of me being able to attend drastically. Wait..... Scratch that. I'll be there, for sure. It's quite affordable, much more than Toronto for me.

Any chance of getting in touch with Treasure for getting stuff from Radiant Silvergun and/or Ikaruga to be performed in the future ? These are two of the finest orchestral shoot-em-up soundtracks and are often discussed here. I'm actually sure a live orchestrated version of "Penta", "Ruin", "The Stone-Like(A full choir piece!)" from Radiant Silvergun and "Chapter 1 - Ideal", "Boss 1 ~ Butsutekkai", "Chapter 4 - Reality" from Ikaruga would be quite a hit.

Seconded. I know that Sakimoto has been doing some stuff with Play, but some of his stuff would be great (Vagrant Story!). I know that shooters aren't exactly mainstream anymore, but there are some excellent soundtracks that would work very well, including those two.
