If you just want to draw the line use the shape tool and fill it with a gradient, then apply glow.
A careful look at this screenshot tells you all you need to know. Layer 2 is a simple shape path drawn with the pen tool and colored with a gradient. The gradient editor is visible. You can animate the colors. To layer 2 I applied glow and a directional blur.
Layer 1 is a copy of layer 2 with slightly different glow settings and a blur of only .5. The blend mode for both layers is set to ADD and they are laid over a screenshot of your sample video.
Should take you about 5 minutes.

Rick's method is fantastic, but I've had trouble with the glow effect due to the way it treats different colors. If you notice it seems to make some of the colors glow more than others. You can play with the settings, but I've always found it to be easier to do this kind of thing with feathered masks. That way your masks are already there and you can do all your animation on one of the shape layers and then just copy the keyframes over to the duplicate when you're done. Doing it this way might look a little more similar to your example, but of course it all depends on what kind of look you're going for. Anyway, here's a little tutorial for the way I would make this.
