CHRIS ISAAK IN CONCERT:
When it comes to rock heartthrobs, iconic crooner Chris Isaak is the standard by which all other artists should be judged. Silky voice and shimmering guitar tones? Check. Baby blue eyes and lustrous pompadour? Check. Enough charm and charisma to swindle you out of your savings? Blank check. Starting with his 1985 debut, Isaak has consistently backed up his good looks with serious chops as a performer, and his 2014 tour dates should be no different. Whether he's breaking hearts with "Wicked Game" or casually chatting with his audience, Isaak's talent and magnetism always make for an unforgettable concert experience.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born to a blue-collar California family, Isaak was a high achiever from an early age, serving as student body president of his high school and graduating as class valedictorian. He signed to Warner Bros. in 1984, making his album debut the following year with Silvertone, a moderate success. His self-titled 1986 sophomore album fared similarly, but 1989's Heart Shaped World was a breakout hit, catapulting him to international fame with the steamy single "Wicked Game." Following a string of popular albums released in the '90s, Isaak had a successful run hosting his own talk show The Chris Isaak Show from 2001-2004. On tour once again in 2014, Isaak will treat fans to classics from his decade-spanning catalog as rumors swirl about the possibility of new material on the not-so-distant horizon.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Chris Isaak was, as usual, wonderful to watch, a delight to listen to, and fun, fun, fun. I love the way he works his way through the audience and interacts with as many people as he can. He is witty and shares stories."
"Chris is one of the best performers around. He really involves the audience in the show and you feel like you are participating - not just viewing."
"Chris played almost non-stop for a full two hours. He's an excellent showman: he did most of his well-known songs and joked with the audience. Great sense of humor and a beautiful voice."
A terrfic show!! Chris Isaak still has the voice that many of us fell in love with when we first heard "Wicked game". Very entertaining. I would see his concert again when he returns.
Chris Isaak fans, your loyalty is justified!!! The latest album from this charismatic performer certainly stays true to the genre of with which he won us over, yet he manages to stay "fresh" somehow. His amazing vocal range is huge and is executed flawlessly. Highs, lows, and everything in between... he nails it! The band is bang on too! Its easy to see that the guys have been together for about twenty years and really like one another. They have fun on stage and that doesn't compromise the integrity of the music itself. Kudos! I appreciated the minimalism of the stage/set which allowed the audience to focus first on the musicians and then offered a small degree of diversion for the ADD set...(or for the fellas who selflessly brought their "better halves" to ogle each swish of the singer's yummy hips. Over all... I give Chris an overwhelming, "YOU ROCK BABY!!!" ;) He is certainly much more than a mere musician... he's the whole package... a superb entertainer!
He's funny and handsome and not so perfect that he can't come into the audience...the music was great ...had us singing and dancing...interesting 'Silvertone backdrop insync with the music...he made us feel special and that he appreciated us showing up...keep up the great work CHRIS!!!
Having loved Isaak's music since the 80's I've kept up with him over the years through his various albums. This is the first time I have been able to see him live though. My only regret is that I waited this long! Isaak and his band were awesome to say the least. Could it be that he actually sounds better now than on his original Sivertone? YES!. Perhaps a few more broken hearts and a couple of good love stories have added to his already hauntingly tortured ability to make everyone in the room feel as if they were being somewhat voyeristic in the sharing of his emotions. His interaction with the audience was heartwarming and gave the feeling of a small bar as opposed to a larger venue. Very personal :) The music on the new CD, Lucky Man, is his best to date in my opinion! All in all it was the best concert experience I've had in many, many years!
chris isaak and his band silvertone were amazing last night [july 31/09] at casino rama.they opened with american boy and followed with all of the hits.wicked game,san francisco days,two hearts, baby did a bad bad thing,speak of the devil.so many songs at least 20 ,i lost count because i was enjoying the show so much. chris took a walk through the audience and sat beside fans and sang to them. he talked and joked between songs.chris took the time to tell a story about opening for roy orbison and then sang only the lonely.he started the evening with a black sequed suit ,took the jacket off for a t-shirted acoustic set and ended the night with a mirrored suit.a back ground projection looking like an old tv showed video and cartoon pictures. the stage lighting was excellent for the nearly 2 hour show. chris is on the mr. lucky tour[the title of his new cd],and did several new songs from that cd.his band silvertone[kenny,hershel,rolley,scott, and rafael are all excellent musicians adding fun moments and dancing. one of the best rock and roll shows that i have ever seen,so if chris isaak and silvertone come to your area it is a must see. walrus
This is the 3rd time I have seen Chris Isaak in concert and it was excellent as always. He always puts on a great show and you will never be disappointed. I give this show a big thumbs up!
My wife & I really enjoyed the show along with the rest of the crowd at Casino Rama. His band did a great job. Every one had a great time up & dancing.
