Conductor Arnie Roth, who has been with the touring show from the beginning, was a great host who offered fun conversation for both first-time listeners and long time fans. The music choices have changed over time, and new pieces appear to be rotated in on a regular basis. This makes the show a great opportunity to see whenever you have the chance. Tickets are a bit pricey-- we were in the upper balcony at $50 a pop-- but if there was ever a game-related event to save up for and attend, this has got to be a top pick. I encourage fans of music, game music, and of course Final Fantasy to find a concert showing in or near your city!
