The Final Fantasy concert whet your appetite and left you wanting more. To fill that need there’s now Video Games Live, a concert tour featuring the music of games you’ve known and loved, and also Tomb Raider. The show will include lasers, footage of the games on very large screens, live action segments and stunts starring your favorite video game characters (”don’t worry, it won’t be cheesy!”). Also, the opportunity of a lifetime:
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!
Oh man, no pressure there. There will be much snickering amongst the string section while you fumble your way through some game you’ve never played, let me tell you. The first show is at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on July 6th with more to follow:
Following the Hollywood Bowl launch, where the Los Angeles Philharmonic will perform while lasers light up the Southern California night sky, Video Games Live will travel to such celebrated venues as Red Rocks in Denver, CO, Chastain Park in Atlanta, GA and Tweeter Center in Boston, MA among others.
