The estimable San Jose Mercury News
has posted a short review of last
weeks Video Games Live concert that we reported on a while back. The show featured newly-arranged renditions of the
themes from WoW & Halo, among others, and was apparently quite well-received by the crowd. The review is mostly
positive, with the only negative points directed toward the venue;apparently was not the ideal place to hear symphonic
music.I bet this show was a lot of fun. I probably wouldn't recognize 90 percent of the tunes to save my life, but it's not too often you get kids packing a stadium to listen to a symphony; any excuse for that is just fine by me.

I'm really looking forward to the show if it comes anywhere close by. I signed up for the newsletter a long time ago and have tried to stay somewhat active with it. The marketing coordinator is on MySpace and seems like a very down to Earth kind of gal. I really want them to do well, so if this comes through your neighborhood, you owe it to yourself to see it. There's music in there from Tron and all kinds of classic games. Who wouldn't want to hear music from some of their favorite games being played by a live symphony.

Music from WoW sounds like a new addition. I hope they perform the music featured in Stormwind. Everytime I'm in town, I can't help but feel heroic listening to that music.
