Video Games Live ticket purchases opened a bit early
Tickets for the GDC-timed revival of
Video Games Live in March are now on sale online according to the official VGL mailing list, and apparently not just to
"GDC community members" this time.Besides the obvious Ticketmaster URL, Jack and Tommy also sent along links to a rather large excerpt from their show in the form of a dress rehearsal for the Halo-themed segment recorded back in June, and made available in both WMV and QuickTime video formats. (Note to downloaders: neither version is less than 50MB in size.)
Even if you have no interest in attending (or simply lack the means to attend) the scheduled show in San Jose, the interview clips with Halo series composers Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori (from Attack of the Show), interspersed with the rest of the light-show and orchestra pans, are worth watching if you can stand the wait for the download. Five jingle guys from Chicago emulating the Himalayan sound? Sounds like music to our ears.

I went the VGL in LA. It was truly a good show. Since this was the grand opening, all of the music developers were their signing autographs. I'm not sure if they all will be at the later shows though.

Thanks for the kind words and support everyone! It's been quite the uphill battle for the VGL team to do something as unique as this. We are finally in a great place to start bringing Video Games Live to people all around the world. We'll be making some more announcements very soon. As Joystiq mentioned... anyone interested in finding out all the info before it's released can sign up for our mailing list on the front page of www.videogameslive.com.
Please make sure to check out the new 6 minute 2006 trailer we just put together.
Yo Zapp!,
To answer your question... There will always be game designers, composers, etc. at every one of our shows who make themselves available to the public. The San Jose/Game Developers Conference show will be extra special because LOTS of game industry people will be there and taking part in the celebration.
Hope to be able to meet fellow game music fans
during our shows in 2006!
