The popular concert series, Video Games Live, will be hitting PBS as a special; it will air sometime in July through August, depending on the PBS station.

An immersive event featuring the best game music performed by top-notch musicians and choirs combined with synchronized lighting, video, live action and audience interactivity, this performance was taped at the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. The lineup consists of never-before-televised live musical performances from the Mario, Zelda, Sonic, Halo, Warcraft, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, God of War, Civilization, Chrono Cross, Star Craft and Guitar Hero franchises, including a musical journey through classic gaming.

Those of you who missed the actual concert will finally be able to enjoy such performances as “Baba Yet” for Civilization IV, as seen in the video above. To see when it will air on your local PBS station, check local listings, or buy the DVD/Blu-Ray video and CD that will be released as well.

I didn't go to the concert at E3, so I don't know.

I actually managed to see a concert in last year's series, it was an amazing experience. I cannot recommend getting to see one of these shows highly enough.

I would love to see a full orchestra and chorus do this:

Or equally good, this:

@Tam: Seconded. If Play! could come to Norway, I don't see why Video Games Live can't.
