Video Games Concerts!

[INCyr]

Gah.

This better make it to DC. Or, ya know, somewhere within driving distance. Like Baltimore. Or even Philly.

But yes, I'm am very much looking forward to this, since Dear Friends doesn't seem to want to play anywhere but in Cali. (Bastards.)

Two new jersey dates so far in august.

[ubersaurus]

Aw geez!

It's gonna be in Detroit the day after the Puffy concert in Chicago?

I want to make both, but I have no idea how.

[thunderclap8]

Hmm I'm job hunting, moving right around the time of the concerts... I have a new factor in cities to look at

[spaceboy]

I will definitely have to get a couple of friends together and take a trip up to Chicago for this one!

[skilletaudio]

Right on.
This is an open-air pavilion, and its not entirely clear whether it will be open-ground seating or what, so I would advise against waiting until august to buy your tickets. You dont want to be in the Parking Lot seats.

INCyr, I think you're in luck... it looks like Bristow, VA is slated for August 19th. I'm seriously considering going to the Toronto showing on the 17th if I can scrape a couple of days off work.

-- Steve's intrigued by the show's idea, but is a bit leery of the "live reenactment" parts.

Sweet! Dallas, Sept. 3rd! I've gotta try and make this one.

[skilletaudio]

I am also leery of the live stuff...and knowing the kind of flair Tommy Tallarico likes to have, I'm not surprised, but the guys behind it keep assuring us that it is not hokey, and that when you see if, you'll appreciate it...
one way or another, we'll know come July 6th.

I feel bad about missing Dear Friends- I am a big fan of Nobuo Uematsu.
FF music has always been my favorite- I don't really know if something like the Halo theme lends itself well to live performance.

[skilletaudio]

Many people would say the same about any music you play for them from Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3...4..5....
Its all a matter of how skillfully it gets arranged.
Personally, I am going for one song, and one song only: the theme from Headhunter.

Everything else is just bonus awesomeness to me, in which case, Castlevania performed live is an awesome bonus;)

[Anton P. Nym]

I don't know if the Halo main theme will work well in a live performance, but the choral bit certainly could. (They do have a choir. Check the web site.)

I put down a few suggestions when signing up for their newsletter, including good ol' Moon Patrol. However, I forgot to put down Marathon.

-- Steve thinks it'd be cool if they fired up the Halo choral intro, and then Steve Vai slid on stage...

Tommy Tallerico is Satan incarnate and the opposite of infallible.

Just so everyone is aware.
