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."
Chris and his band put on an awesome show! Full of energy, funny, and pure entertainment. Would definitely see him again.
We forget how funny he is. We are always surprised at his range and we are always happy he still has a great voice. We always forget to wear sparkles but then again we don’t want to dance on stage. It is a great show that we would see again in a nano second…. Now put him back on TV cause that was funny too!
Chris Isaak is absolutely amazing live! Always a great performer, talented singer, amazing musician and a great comedian too! I have seen him every year since 1987 whether its a summer tour show or a christmas concert, never anything but amazing. was great to see his first time at Orpheum Theatre. I love Orpheum have seen concerts there with Annie Lennox, k.d. lang, Brandi Carlile, Chris Cornell and Phantom Planet. Beautiful theatre very intimate and was a beautiful fun show. love chris brought his dog onstage and dogs for adoption great to see that happening!
Puts on an amazing show, wonderful voice and very entertaining!
Great performance by the band! Playlist was a great mix of new and old plus the sprinkle of Christmas songs. Interaction with the crowd was second to none. The venue was great for the type of show. Nothing but thumbs up for the experience
The first time I saw Chris Isaak was at the Hollywood bowl and I remember him walking from the stage all the way up to the top seats way in the back so the people back there could get up close to the fun. It made such an impression on me. Years later and he did the same thing at this concert. He is just the nicest guy. He is funny, talks to the crowd and keeps people involved. I love listening to him joke around as much as I enjoy his singing. Such a great show. I'm looking forward to the next time he's in town. This Christmas concert was a good mix of Christmas plus his usual songs. Loved it!
First time to Orpheum, gorgeous old building! Everyone that I came into contact there was super friendly and helpful. Great night, would not have changed one thing.
Chris was entertaining and funny. his band was tight. And they sounded. Just as good as ever.Fun night had by all...
Not only did I get to see some of my favorite songs but I was amazed by the showmanship. I watched this man walk up and down the aisles, into the balcony, be all over the venue without missing a note. Chris Isaak appeared very kind, humorous, and sincere when speaking between songs.
It had been a while since I last saw him perform live, what a mistake. From the moment he and his talented band took the stage his music, humor and performance was a pure joy to be a part of. His voice is amazing. His band members are excellent and entertaining to watch and listen to. He brings the show into the audience and makes you feel like family and part of the show. If he plays near you I recommend that you don’t miss him perform, it will be a night that you will long remember!!
Chris is such a great entertainer. He worked the crowd and even went up to the balcony. He had the audience laughing in between songs. His voice sounds amazing and the musicians in his band are really talented. It seemed like they were all having a great time together on stage. It was a great mix of Christmas songs and his hits.
I had not seen Chris Isak perform in a very long time-always been a fan. He did not disappoint. The show was great! He played all the older hits, new (to me) material and still had his sense of humor and humanity. Band was tight and they ‘fit’ the venue perfectly. Can’t wait to see him again.
Classic Chris Isaak Concert from beginning to end. It is also great that he throws in a few Comedy lines between songs. I also liked the Charity segment for local Dog and Cat adoption. Not to many Artist would do that during there Concert...!
Just what was expected. Great concert! Chis Issak is a great performer.
The concert we saw at the Palms Casino of Chris Isaak was a phenomenal performance. From the start and all the way to the last note he played was filled with energy and a true loving experience. The classic Isaak songs were well mixed with Christmas tunes from the songs he wrote. I would definitely tell anyone that would ask me to go to a Chris Isaak concert and enjoy yourself completely.
Always a good time! Chris and the rest are amazing entertainers with fun stories to go along with the concert. Great dancing and good crowds.
…it abruptly ended It was shorter than anticipated It could have gone a bit longer A bit disappointing, but good showman.
Amazing performance Band was great Chris was perfection
Chris Isaak is my favorite artist who is amazing and his voice is incredible!!
The guys haven't lost it, although Chris is not the young man he once was. He used to be so youthful. LOL. Great show. The musicianship was superb as always. The choreography rivaled Michael Jackson, and the funny bits, were well funny. Chris' vocals are still amazing. Had a great time. And you're right Chris, this wasn't anything like Taylor Swift's show. But it was above County Fair.
