I just wanted to let any Chris Isaak fans know that we saw him here in Edmonton on Tuesday and were blown away by the unbelievable show he and the band put on. The band was tight, the sound was good, and Chris' voice is as great as it sounds on record or TV. He's extremely funny and irreverent, just as on his TV show, and the band plays along. They had their first standing ovation about 3 or 4 songs into the show, and though the crowds here were very polite and kept sitting back down so people behind could see, they kept getting ovations over and over. After the show, Chris only signs autographs for people who buy merchandise, but the band was milling about in the lobby, chatting with fans and signing autographs (for free.) The set list included his biggest hits, an acoustic set, and covers of Cheap Trick, Elvis, Roy Orbison and Buck Owens songs. If you enjoy these guys, you should run, not walk, to a show near you!
