Video Games Live!

[Kakashi]

Going to Video Games Live! in just about an hour in Vienna, Virginia at Wolf Trap. Anyone ever been to any of the tour dates? Heard a lot of cool things about the show, and I'll be sitting in a box seat.

For those of you who hasn't heard of it:

I thought they were doing Starcraft 2?

Must have been a rumor.

 

[Kakashi]

From what I hear, the music selections change from place to place. I know they'll be playing both Starcraft 2 and Diablo music is their stop in Texas later in the month.

Anything sounds awesome when you have an orchestra.

 

[the cow says moo]

This looks like a ton of fun.

Had to chance to see them at BlizzCon a couple years ago, they're really a fun experience.

You saw the unveiling of SC2? D:

This looks awesome. Do they have a website? Can't find it.

EDIT: Heh. Found it. Hooray for Bing! It's not anywhere to be bound on the first two pages of Google. Perhaps I should give Bing a chance.

I heard about this on the radio, but I really don't think there's enough game music that I really like to justify seeing it.

 

[Javert]

I watched them in LA during E3. It was lots of fun, and yes they do change their song line-up per location. In LA, they premiered some Diablo III music and had the crazy Japanese guy playing Mario music on YouTube!

 

[Jintor]

Hate you.

They were in Sydney two or three years ago but at the time I was, like, 14.

 

[Anthraxxx]

I've gone twice when they were here in Louisville, KY. They're not coming again this year because the music selection hasn't changed enough. Excellent show though. I recommend going to see this!

I saw them in Seattle a few months back. They freakin' rocked!

CyberPitz: They do SC2 music. At least they did for us a few months back. It was only 2 mins or so, but it was still great.

I highly recommend people go to VGL. It's a great experience. It's not a concert where you're all quiet either. They encourage you to cheer and yell while they are performing, like a rock concert. So if there's something you love in the videos they play or something, or they are just rocking you just gotta cheer them on! It's so great.

I know they were at Blizzcon 2007 and played some rocking SC2 music, along with SC1. I really hope to hear more from them.

The U.S. unveiling. The actual unveiling was in Seoul at the World Wide Invitational a few weeks (or was it months?) before BlizzCon. Got to play a skirmish and it was a good fun, though!

VGL was probably the highlight of the entire experience.

 

[CyberPitz]

I hate you ;(

 

[Kakashi]

VGL was amazing, loved every moment of it. When they played Civilization IV, it was a truly a moving performance with the choir and soloist. Everything was great, and I would definitely go see it again whenever they're back in the area.

 

[Bob_Marley]

Saw them at the Blizzard WWI in Paris last year, they're very good. I'd love to go to one of thier more varied concerts though.

 

[CyberPitz]

I wish I could go to all these cool things. Blizzcon, Blizzard WWI, etc.
