Great night @ VGL!
Mar 16/09
If you've been complaining for years that video game music should be played in concert, or even if you've just gamed casually in the past, Video Games Live is the show for you. I think anyone can enjoy the music, but you'll really have an appreciation for it when you've spent years of your childhood (or adulthood) glued to a console.
On top of all the crazy show antics (including a live band performance from the band that wrote the new Need for Speed soundtrack), the music was fantastic (cheers to the KW Symphony and Grand Philharmonic Choir) and hit all the major games. Think classic Mario, Legend of Zelda, with some newer additions to the show based on popular request, including Metroid and the best game for music tracks ever - Chrono trigger! There was even a live Skype chat to the creator of the music for Starcraft II.

You can find a lot of the show on YouTube, but for the cheap ticket price ($20) it's really worth seeing it if you get the chance.
