Nice. Good to see our friends at Video Games Live are doing it up right. The popular video game music concert series will have a special coming to television, airing on PBS in 2010. It will be taped at the February 5th, 2010 show at the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. If you want tickets to be at that show, they go on sale on the 18th of this month.
Also coming in 2010 is Video Games Live: Volume Two, a CD containing new music from the concert. A companion DVD and Blu-Ray will also be made available in 2010, and it will showcase additional segments and many special extras including behind the scenes footage, making of Video Games Live, interactive angles, exclusive game developer and composer interviews, game trailers and more. They say that this will be the first game concert DVD to be distributed worldwide.
Again, nice. If you haven't seen the show yet, I can't recommend it enough.

I do hope it will lead to better sets being played in the states someday though. I know the Seattle Symphony did a dedicated FF concert after playing this show.
I've been trying in vain to get to one of the concerts, but my plan has, so far, always been thwarted, somehow. Also, I've been meaning to pick-up the VGL CD.
