Video Games Live concert on PBS

Video Games Live concert is going to be aired on PBS this Saturday at 11 PM in my area (PA Eastern Time Zone), seems to have an emphasis on some of the more memorable Mario tunes in the commercial but there should be lots of other games given treatment as well.

No idea if this will be playing on PBS stations in other areas on the same day, or if it has already been aired on some, just figured I'd start this topic to see if anyone else is aware of it. I'll definitely be taping and enjoying it, and it's neat to see video games given time on public television.

Here's a schedule for PBS stations, if you want to see it near you on TV, some dates are already past but some are yet to come:

Aww, it aired in August for me. Not that I have a digital converter box, so I couldn't have watched it anyway, but still.

I taped it. It is actually a little bit of Documentary and mostly video from previous concerts. They are probably playing it as part of your local station's Pledge Drives.
