Video Games Live Tickets

My bf and I are big fans of VGL and were super excited to see they were coming to Orlando. The show was a lot of fun and very nostalgic!

I would have to say that the Video Game Live concerts are awesome. The setlists are kept current and fluid as not to be repetitive or stagnate. I love the fact that Tommy Tallarico really appreciates the fans and always accepts request prior the live concerts as well as when putting the album setlist together. It is a wonderful experience for non-gamers and gamers of any experience alike.

This show was great! Such a unique experience and completely mesmerizing!

This was very nostalgic to me. I loved it overall. I wished that I could have seen more games from the past and not so many unfamiliar ones but it was still great.

Amazing experience! A must for all gamers! Really enjoyed the music and the venue was amazing.

It is so hard to make a decision about VDL because I’m torn. I recognize that my ambivalence is due to it only really being the only one of it’s kind so I don’t want to be negative. The reality though ... is that I did not enjoy the show. Anything I did love about it was purely based off of potential but not from what was presented. I can’t compare multiple shows of VDL since I’ve only seen this one, but I can tell you that the music alone was not as powerful as it should have been. I’ve been going to Broward Center since childhood and I know the power that a small/medium symphony can emit from that stage. Just because they’ve been the “longest running symphony of all time” doesn’t mean that they’ve been the best, it just means that they haven’t been properly competed with. I don’t want a stuck up symphony show, but I do want a show that doesn’t feel like it’s playing over a track.

This concert was amazing. Very talented orchestra from our own local PA, and a wonderful experience. Security was quite intimidating, which I suppose is a good thing. I would rather have more intimidating security than a weak looking setup in today's times. As for the show, the only two things I really didn't like were the projector wobbling and the lights. Someone please try to stabilize that thing! And for how small a place it is, they should have kept the movement of the lights to a minimum. They were frequently a distraction because they would light up the side walls and swing around to hit the screen behind the orchestra, when I was really trying to see them play and sing. Overall, I was happy with the experience though.

I was not sure what this production would be like. I'm not one to play Video Games so a bit apprehensive. I LOVED it! The Phil. Orch. and background choir were superb! Back screen animations entertaining and quite in sync. Very interactive with the audience as promoted. Mr. Telerico ( pardon if misspelled) your vision for this production was spot on! I look forward to following future productions. Thank you for very entertaining eve.

This event is packed full of gaming music. But the creators bring much more to the table. Fun event!Would attend again!

Loved it, however I use the their level four album for studying. And many songs in Bonus Round are the same as in Lvl 4. To keep the Wonder and surprise, definetly go in cold. My buddy enjoyed it more than I did and he had no idea what to expect. Still awesome though!

I am not that familiar with game music but still it was great show as all the music that was played was amazing!

Absolutely do yourself a favor and go see this show. Not only is it an amazing performance but you can feel the amount of heart that goes into it from Tommy Tallarico. Its fun even if you arent into video games but, if you are then you need to go see this show!

I saw VGL at the Paramount for their second show ever, and the first in Seattle. It has been updated nicely, with some classics pieces still being played. There was a lot of history and lots of enjoyable tunes. I brought my girlfriend who isn't into games or the orchestra, and she really enjoyed the show. She said there was more warmth and feeling to the music at this event than she had experienced at a pure orchestra event prior.

The songs were great when they got around to playing, but there was a LOT of talking - and worse, it was a marketing pitch, self-aggrandizing and redundant. We already bought the tickets! You really don't need to convince us that game music is worth a concert that we're already at. That coulda been two more songs.

the show left me speechless, sometimes in tears. they hit every game ive ever felt anything about, games i still play today, i cant wait for them to come back.

Symphoria and conductor were excellent, lead female singer/musician talented and lovely, but lead male host/guitarist/creator has gone down over the years. Missing his cues, his timing very off... event has gone down many notches since they were here last. This show needs to be refreshed - a new host with energy and enthusiasm, more music from well known video games would be great, instead of some games that only a handful of people in the audience have heard of. I'm very sad about this, this event would be perfect for tweens/teens and their families if it would be changed up a bit. Audience LOVED the humorous video bits on screen, yet they have not expanded or changed that part in years.

First things first, just to get it out of the way - this was my first time at The Wellmont Theater in Montclair and it will probably be my last. The seats are awful, the drinks are way overpriced, and the stage is tiny. As for the show itself, it was very good, but perhaps not quite what I was looking for. If you are a fan of console video games, there's a good chance you will enjoy this. The set-list included classics themes like Super Mario Bros, Sonic, Megaman, and Castlevania - great for us 30+ gamers. There were a bunch of games I did not recognize from the Nintendo Wii era, that I felt were perhaps aimed at a younger audience (if you like those fantasy/anime style games, great! Just not my thing). Thankfully it was rounded out by Skyrim, Shadow of the Colossus, and some other "epic" games. I think I was hoping for something more....classic? The guy that runs Video Games Live is clearly in love with himself and would not shut up. He spoke between almost every song and came off as a giant tool (sorry dude I'm hear to watch music not hear you talk). His electric guitar didn't add much to the sound and his yelling, "Castlevania" during the theme was really off-putting. It made the event seem aimed at a younger audience, in my opinion. I think I was expecting an orchestra playing video games themes for a mature audience, so maybe that was my mistake.

This seemed so easy to make it good but no effort or thought was put into entertaining the audience, especially kids. My son only knew of one song (since they don't play the same song twice--who knows why) the videos seemed like an afterthought or didn't make any sense. Seemed like the concert was more for the performer rather than the audience.

Video Games Live was awesome. We will definitely be going back next time!

The concert was a lot of fun with sets from a lot of fan favorites. I'm not a hardcore gamer so I didn't recognize a lot of the soundtracks, but I still enjoyed the music and had a great time. The composers and orchestra were very talented, especially Laura Intravia who composed, sang, played the flute and flute synth, and changed outfits for every song! The team did a great job putting together video clips to go along with the music and kept the atmosphere light and fun. I did leave wanting more and wishing I had heard more from games I had played, but generally wanting more is a good thing. I really only have two main points of criticism. First, I wish all of the music was played live. They used tracks for the drum set (they did have percussionists playing snare, cymbals, kettledrums, etc) and for a lot of the digital noises. It made me question if there were other tracks also being played and a bit disappointed that not everything was visible and live. The other issue was more due to the venue (NJPAC) lacking better food options (only had chips, beer, candy, and a few cold wraps). The show opened doors at 6:30 and went past 10pm which is prime dinner time for most.
