Spring Festivals and Full-Length Albums Live - Rockstar Alumni Concert Calendar

As Biz Markie (a Rockstar soundtrack alumni himself via San Andreas' Playback FM) once bellowed - it's spring again. In addition to the trees and grass lookin' fresh, this also means the weather is getting ripe for music festival season and worldwide tours. The eclectic radio stations of GTA's past are well represented at Memphis' Beale Street Music Festival in May featuring Alice in Chains, The Black Crowes, The Black Keys, The Smashing Pumpkins, Hall & Oates, ZZ Top and much more. The Keys will also be playing the historic New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival along with San Andreas' Willie Nelson, Earth Wind & Fire from Vice City Stories and Gary Clark Jr from Walton's Bar in Max Payne 3. 
 
For those digging the growing trend of bands performing full classic albums live, there are a few fun options amongst Rockstar alumni this spring. Radio X's Living Colour are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album Vivid (including the seminal smash "Cult of Personality") by performing it top to bottom on their current tour. Vice City's YES have gone two steps further by performing The Yes AlbumClose to the Edge and Going for the One to completion (though due to time constraints, they'll only be performing the first two at certain venues). Most interesting perhaps is the case of Queensrÿche - having parted ways last year, Geoff Tate's version of the band is currently playing their 1988 concept album Operation: Mindcrime in full. If mixing it up is more your speed, the other original members are on tour playing the hits - likely including "Queen of the Reich" from Vice City Stories.
 
Here's a wide variety of shows across the continents through the end of May - if you make it out to any or if you have others you know of, shout them out in the comments section...

Rockstar Fan Art: A GTA Rogues Gallery in MS Paint

Wow. Apparently created by Brazilian fan artist Eduardo Favaro and entitled 'Todos os personagens da série GTA', this is an assembly of GTA characters from across titles and game universes ranging from the usual suspects (Niko, CJ, Tommy..) to the most underground of the underworld (Timur, King Courtney, Bubba...) - and all entirely sketched in MS Paint.

Props as well to Brazilian Facebook fan page Grand Theft Auto V FC for helping bring it to light.

How many can you name?

As a service for all GTA fans on Spotify as well as for those who’d like to easily browse and find their favorite tracks from Grand Theft Auto radio history on iTunes, we’ve gone ahead and compiled the official set of playlists below, with tracks from all the music stations featured in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City, San Andreas, Vice City and more.

Please note that this is all the music from these stations that's currently available on each service – some songs don’t yet exist on either Spotify or iTunes, but we’re hoping to be able to add the original songs within our control where possible soon. And for those nostalgic for some of the commercials from these games, be sure to check out The Advertising Council repository if you haven't before - a proper collection of radio adverts from the archives of LC, VC and SA's historical radio dials...

Download High Res Maps for Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories

A few months back, in honor of the releases of Vice City Anniversary Edition for mobile devices and San Andreas on PSN, we made available high resolution JPGs of the maps for all three titles in the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy.

Now with Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories both joining the original trilogy as PS2 Classics available to download on PSN we've got high quality images of the maps that came packaged with the original games for you to download and print as well.
 
With some noticeable infrastructure differences from the three year gaps between the 1998 and 2001 layouts of Liberty City, like the ongoing construction of the Callahan Bridge for one thing, as well as the 1984 and 1986 maps of Vice City sporting some different destinations and details, it's worth having a handy print out of the lay of the land to aid you as you explore 20th century LC and VC.

As an added bonus, here's some high-rezzies of the front cover for each of the game's original manuals we dug up - each a testament to the journalistic standards and integrity of their respective cities...
