Video Games Live
DescriptionVideo Games Live is a concert tour featuring music from a variety of video games. Created by Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall in association with Clear Channel Communications, the tour debuted with an audience of 11,000 people on Jul 2005 and, after a series of cancellations, begun a 20+ stop world tour in Mar 2006. Given its use of cinematic projections, special effects, live action, various audience-participation opportunities, and a pre-concert arcade exhibit, it is regarded as a relatively casual show that also highlights the achievements in the video game industry as a whole. The tour features music from games such as Mario, Zelda, Sonic, Kingdom Hearts, HALO, Metal Gear Solid, Warcraft, Castlevania, Medal or Honor, Advent Rising, Myst, and Beyond Good & Evil. It also features a special 20+ piece classic arcade medley and the Video Game Pianist performing various Final Fantasy pieces. As well as featuring extensive performances across the US, it is the first video game concert to appear in Canada and the UK.
