Video Games Live Is Bringing Their Orchestra To YOUR Home Town!

Most video game orchestras, if they come over to Australia, head to Sydney — Melbourne if you’re lucky — not Video Games Live. These guys are bringing their awesome show to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland in 2012.

Video Games Live is an awesome multi media concert event featuring video game music from a world class orchestra combined with creative use of the game footage itself. It’s created and produced by Tommy Tallarico, a composer who has created music for games such as Another World, Prince of Persia, Maximo and many more.

We’re currently unaware of the precise dates when Video Games Live will be arriving in Australia – the website has 2012 TBA – but as soon as we receive more specific info we’ll let you guys know!

I saw these guys when I was living in Malaysia.

I also assure you Daniel, there was very little final fantasy music. IIRC, there were only two songs played from all the games – and this was to an Asian audience!

Expect music from both Japanese greats such as Zelda and Shadow of the colossus, and Western blockbusters such as Halo and World of Warcraft. There was even a ‘retro game’ medley, featuring the themes from classic games like pacman and tetris.

These guys are really good and their show is super entertaining, if you like any kind of video game i highly recommend you go and see them.

    All welcome, all welcome. I will be performing between 8am and 6pm. Not non-stop during that time, but at an unspecified time in between those two points of the day.

  My thoughts exactly. Why the crap don’t they want to come to a city full of more than 1 million people?

    It’s sad that they’ve forgotten Adelaide, but, y’know, Melbourne isn’t that far away X3
    
    Also I’m so glad about the final fantasy music. I really dislike Final fantasy, but in my experience Video Games live tries to play a bit of everything.

I remember the concert at the Opera House took a shot at playing Dancing Mad on the main concert hall’s organ. It was a brave attempt, but it didn’t really work.

There wasn’t a lot of Square Enix music – I did like the Chrono Suite, though – but I also saw Eminence that year, who were a little more focused on Japan but a lot more passionate, and I think that came through in the performance. Then again, it’s not a competition.

I laughed at how the first paragraph was going on about how the lack of Adelaide was a good thing.

I campaigned for them with a Facebook page and they skip my city.

Fuck you VGL. I should have gone to “PLAY!”.

you do know that the status has been “TBA” in Australia for at least 4 years? Each year it just moves to the year ahead. I’ll believe it when tickets go on sale.
