A video game concert shows up and the crew follows their instincts: this MUST be talked about!

In what may be one of the most interesting setlists we've covered yet - going from a medley of songs from Amiga titles like Secret of Monkey Island and Turrican to more orchestral soundtracks like Bloodborne and Journey - and with potentially the best singer we've watched perform, prepare for interesting songs, long conversations and a hell of a lot more emotion than even we expected.
