Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! Video game people know what they like, and it takes something pretty special to get them out from in front of the gaming consoles. “Video Games Live” is it. We know, we know … but what is it? Well, it’s music from popular video games, rendered in larger-than-life form, featuring bands, orchestras, choirs and costumed folks. There are also various interactive and audience participation goodies, because video game folks are used to being part of their virtual worlds. Be sure to get there early, as there will be lots of stuff to play with before the concert. 8 p.m. Saturday, Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State St.; $48.48-$86.92; ticketmaster.com
