Hey there, Kingdom Hearts fans! It's Deeman here with an exclusive KHInsider report. About two weeks ago, I had the chance to attend a musical concert located downtown in Montreal, Canada. This orchestra has been touring the world for a considerable amount of time and as soon as I had found out they were visiting here, I knew I couldn't miss out on the chance to see them. As a result, I booked my ticket months in advance and purchased myself a pass to go see the wonderful orchestra known as Video Games Live!

What is Video Games Live, you may ask? As I said, they are a worldwide orchestra, accompanied by a brilliant choir and exciting guest musicians, who tour the world, playing music from popular franchises such as Metal Gear Solid and Zelda. I quote from the official Video Games Live website:

Video Games Live™ is an immersive concert event featuring music from the most popular video games of all time. Top orchestras & choirs perform along with exclusive video footage and music arrangements, synchronized lighting, solo performers, electronic percussionists, live action and unique interactive segments to create an explosive entertainment experience!

The website does not lie when they say that there is a unique interactive experience waiting for you at every concert! I sat in my seat in awe as I listened to the sweet sound of the familiar music dancing into my ears, clapping and screaming at the sound of something that got me excited. With thrilling contests and hilarious games during the show, everyone was laughing and having a great time; the atmosphere was fun-filled and energetic! It's experience that gamers and non-gamers alike would enjoy. Don't miss out on it.

Now what's this have to do with Kingdom Hearts, you ask? This is the part where you as Kingdom Hearts fans get excited. That evening, at the Video Games Live concert in Montreal, the orchestra played a beautiful piece from Kingdom Hearts. Yes, Kingdom Hearts. The moment the host of the concert mentioned Disney, I knew what was coming up next. The guy in front of me started screaming "Kingdom Hearts!" in a desperate, anxious voice, and I myself joined in with eager feelings zooming through my body. It was truly amazing, how beautifully they played the piece. I managed to record the song with a digital camera, and also the exciting events that lead up to the song. This is something that you should not miss out on! And please, don't just watch this video and say, "Alright, I've seen it all," because you have not! Video Games Live is definitely something not to be missed out on!
