Carlucci Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Looks like a group of people are trying to put together a tour featuring the music from video games. Check out their website here: Video Games Live There's a sign-up for their mailing list and a chance to recommend the music you'd like to hear. Carlos.

CaptainRon Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Pretty cool concept, i'd like to hear something off of Double Dragon 2, but i'd imagine they are looking for more recent games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwoo Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I get a pretty good giggle thinking of what the crowd might be like at an event such as this. Nerds :rock to video game music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 That's an awesome idea. I really hope they'd be doing older games though, the stuff that was always in midi. All the new games have actual music, in Stereo (or 5.1 or whatever), so it wouldn't be as interesting. It would be all stuff we've heard before, albeit live. A friend of a friend has a band that does the old Tetris theme (Korbenki or something like that). It sounds great, and it's always a favourite at their concerts. But anyway, my vote goes for some River City Ransom! I've always loved the music from that game, I actually have the main theme as the ringer on my cell phone. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I thought there was a discussion on this already but I could not find it, So I will start one. first here is a Link... no pun intended I suggest watching the trailer I found it very energizing. Now on to the discussion part, anyone here been? How was the crowd experience ass-hats or ass-hats free? The show itself worth the admission? Length? The reason I'm asking is, because the show is making it's way up here to MN in November and I would like some first hand impressions.

Carlucci Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Link to older thread (which didn't see much action): http://www.lcvg.com/forum/showthread.php?p=111054#post111054 At one time they had a Houston date, but they scratched it when they retooled the schedule. I have been waiting for them to re-add it, but no joy. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlucci Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Just got this email.... Due to circumstances beyond our control, Video Games Live will not be playing many of the shows scheduled for this fall. We will however be playing the Seattle and Vancouver shows on October 29 and October 30. Furthermore, plans are being made for additional shows in specific markets across North America for 2006. ..... Because of the cutting edge characteristics and unique nature of the show, our greatest challenge is raising awareness and being able to explain to the general population what exactly the Video Games Live experience is all about. The success of the July, 2005 inaugural show at the Hollywood Bowl, which drew over 10,000 people and garnered rave reviews, only bolstered our belief in this concept. We do not see this as a set back at all, but instead an opportunity to better develop and inform specific areas all across North America - one at a time. Maybe they were too agressive originally.

dogbert Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Sounds like they weren't getting the ticket sales at the regional shows to justify the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Looks like the shows are back on. Tour Dates. Prices are way to steep for me to take my kids in Houston. $36 is the cheapest for tix with a view of the screen. I would only consider paying halft that. Carlos.

Union Carbine Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I may check out the Houston date. $36 feels a it steep to me but maybe I'll splurge... maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky G Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 You're all a bunch of Geeks! (said the pot) - I guess I'm not quite the geek I thought I was. I would go see something like this if it was free, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
