"Since we started Video Games Live over 5 years ago we've always received at least a few e-mails and letters each week asking if and when a  DVD and CD would be available," said Tommy Tallarico, co-creator of Video Games Live and longtime video game composer. "We're finally proud to announce the first ever live game concert DVD and CD available in the U.S. and throughout the world."  Co-creator Jack Wall added "The shows in Brazil were absolutely amazing.  The crowds were unbelievable and the energy level was second to none."    

Recently, Video Games Live was the recipient of the “Special Breakthrough Achievement Award" at the 3rd Annual Gameworld Awards for their performances in Brazil last November.    

The Brazilian shows were sponsored by the biggest corporations in all of Latin America including oil company Petrobras as well as UOL, the principle Latin American internet online provider.  Intel, the world's largest semiconductor company were the title sponsors along with media partner Futuro Publishing which helped to make the initial groundbreaking tour a national success.  Adding to the already powerful line-up of supporters were the Brazilian Government and the Ministry of Culture, whose commitment to the Video Games Live project speaks volumes for VGL's relevance, significance and future presence in Brazil.    

The highly prestigious Petrobras SinfĂ´nica Orchestra performed in some of the highest regarded venues in all of Brazil.    

Video Games Live is currently planning its return tour to Brazil for September, 2007.  Exact DVD & CD release dates, pricing and ordering to be announced in August.

If it wasn't for Tommy Tallarico, I'd probably buy this thing.  That and scenery doesn't fit a soundtrack for video-game concerts.  And it just looks like a pretty poor production.

It's about time that one of these videogame concerts started selling CDs. Now if only we can get Play! and the Eurpoean one to grace us with their music.

I just got back from the Dallas show, and it is amazing.  Yeah, Tommy Tallarico is sometimes annoying, but man was the show entertaining.  You will laugh from all the craziness.  You will root for the audience to win the contests...and you will be amazed that guy on the internet can really play Mario blindfolded.
