Hey listen! THIS right here needs your money. Video Games Lives has been putting on absolutely astounding live performances featuring video game music around the world for over 10 years.

The best part of all this is they do it with the direct involvement of the people wrote the music and produced the games. Rarely are video games treated with this kind of love and respect, and this kickstarter is a wonderful opportunity to be a part of that.

Video Games Live has confirmed for music from Monkey Island, Street Fighter II, Skyrim, Journey, Shadow of the Colossus, Beyond Good and Evil, Tetris, and Silent Hill 2 for the new album. This is in addition to a Super Mario World arrangement that is pending Nintendo approval.

This video at the bottom has Akira Yamaoka, the director and composer of the Silent, performing his own music on stage:
