A couple nights ago I went to Video Games Live with Al. It was held at the Orpheum Theatre with the Vancouver Symphony playing the music. There was a world primiere of the new music from Need for Speed: Undercover and music from Zelda, Mario, World of Warcraft, Starcraft II, Metroid, Halo, Metal Gear…etc. I think the best part of the show was how they got us to ask for encore. They had everyone in the audience turn on and wave their cell phones, DS, and PSP. Some guy even took out his laptop! Another favourite segment was when they played music from Metal Gear. Someone dressed as a terrorist came out on the stage and almost immediately after, a guy with a cardboard box over his head/body was following him. It was great because anyone who’ve played the game knows exactly what’s happening. Then the music picked up, like in the game when the terrorist get suspicious of his surroundings and a glowing exclamation mark popped up over his head, just like in the game!
I didn’t bring my camera but here’s a picture my brother managed to take with his iPhone at the end of the show.

hihi ^_^
I’m jealous. They did this here in the states a couple months ago and I wanted to go, but I couldn’t talk anyone else in to going with me.
