Segments
Video Games Live features music from video games from all eras. Music from more recent games (and ongoing series), such as Final Fantasy, Halo, World of Warcraft, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, and Metal Gear Solid have been performed. Other segments feature retro arcade games such as Tetris and Asteroids. Video footage of each game is shown during its segment.
VGL often features solo performers. Martin Leung, who became known on the Internet for playing video game songs on a piano while blindfolded, routinely performs during the concerts. Also discovered on the internet for her Legend of Zelda cosplaying musical skit, vocalist and flutist Laura Intravia appears at the shows often as well, performing her own solo flute arrangements in addition to flute and vocal solos in the orchestral segments.
The show features several interactive segments where audience members are invited on stage to play video games while the orchestra plays music to match the game. Games such as Frogger, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, and Guitar Hero have been played live.

Famous quotes containing the word segments:
“It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
