June 21, 2007 - The successful Video Games Live touring videogame music concert series has announced the release of a CD/DVD recorded during sold out performances conducted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil last year.

"Since we started Video Games Live over 5 years ago we've always received at least a few e-mails and letters each week asking if and when a DVD and CD would be available," said Tommy Tallarico, co-creator of Video Games Live in regards to the decision to release a CD/DVD. "We're finally proud to announce the first ever live game concert DVD and CD available in the U.S. and throughout the world." Co-creator Jack Wall added "The shows in Brazil were absolutely amazing. The crowds were unbelievable and the energy level was second to none."

The Brazilian shows were sponsored by the biggest corporations in all of Latin America including oil company Petrobras as well as UOL, the principle Latin American internet online provider. Intel were the title sponsors along with media partner Futuro Publishing. Additionally the Brazilian Government and the Ministry of Culture also aided in the production of the show. The music for the Rio shows was performed by the Petrobras Sinfônica Orchestra.

While a trailer for the CD/DVD is currently up on the Net, the exact CD/DVD release dates, pricing and ordering information will not be made available until sometime in August.
