Went to the show at the Miller Auditorium in Kalamazoo last night, and it was awesome. Pics:

You can't really see it due to blurriness, but Mike Salvatore (Halo composer) in on stage with Tommy Tallarico in that last pic. Also during the show, they had Civ IV composer Christopher Tin do a live webcast through skype. Great show, World of Warcraft and One Winged Angel brought the house down. Martin Leung the pianist was also fantastic. I took more pictures, but they turned out really blurry for some reason.

Nope, they didn't play that one. They performed a medley of songs from the first, second, and third games but I don't know what they were called.

I think so. The Final Fantasy medley was quite long, and then they played FF VII music in a completely separate set.

they had a show like this play a while ago around here, but i felt like i just couldn't handle all the nerd.  i couldn't even imagine how bad the place must've smelled. i kinda regret not going tho, just because i would like to have heard the FF stuff.

I made my wife go, and we talked another couple into going and everyone really enjoyed it, despite the fact that they complained about body odor. The nerdiness wasn't too bad, although there were some over the top cosplayers. When Mike Salvatore came onto the stage, Tommy made him do the Halo chant and everyone started doing it in the audience  :lol. My only complaint was that they played Kingdom Hearts music  :yuck and Chronotrigger/cross which really didn't gel with the rest of the music that they performed.

I  went last weekend. We had frontrow center seats. It was pretty awesome. The World of Warcraft stuff was really boring though. It was just really generic orchestrated epic music. They did a sweet Castlevania medley though. I also liked hearing Bioshock played by the Symphony.

They didn't play BioShock last night  :'(

I know its not as widely known as some of the other games, but I would have loved to hear music from Bioshock and the Witcher

Do they ever do Shadow of The Colossus? They didn't do it at my show and I was sad.
