May 04, 2005 - Celebrated videogame composers Tommy Tallarico (Advent Rising, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Earthworm Jim) and Jack Wall (Jade Empire, Myst III: Exile, Splinter Cell) will be producing Video Games Live, a touring concert billed as an immersive, audio and video experience based around the music of popular video games such as Mario, Zelda, Halo, Metal Gear Solid, Warcraft, Myst, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Medal of Honor, Sonic, Tron, Tomb Raider, Advent Rising, Headhunter, Beyond Good & Evil, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, EverQuest II, plus recognizable tunes from such arcade classics as Pong and Donkey Kong.
"Fans of videogames are going to be amazed at what we have in store for them. Never before has the music of video games been presented on this scale. Live entertainment is about to evolve," said Tallarico. "Videogames have become one of the most thrilling and electrifying forms of entertainment in the 21st century. We intend to capture that same excitement level to help create the ultimate celebration of video games for everyone to enjoy."
The kick off show for the national tour will take place July 6th at the world famous Hollywood Bowl, where the Los Angeles Philharmonic will perform while lasers light up the Southern California night sky. Video Games Live will also be traveling to such celebrated venues as Red Rocks in Denver, CO, Chastain Park in Atlanta, GA and Tweeter Center in Boston, MA, with more dates and venues to be announced..
"Videogame music is not bleeps and bloops anymore. People are absolutely shocked when they hear this music," stated Jack Wall. "This music represents a true art form. The success of this tour will demonstrate to the world that videogame music can command the attention of gamers and non-gamers alike."
There will be an additional segment in the show where chosen audience members will compete against each other and play a videogame live on-stage. The game will appear on a massive screen while the orchestra plays the music and follows the action in real time.
i would do anything to play the chase scene of mgs3 for all to see
