User Reviews

Soundstage: Chris Isaak (2003) - Excellent Singer & Comedian

I'm very familiar with Chris Issak's voice, having owned a half dozen or so of his CDs, but I had never seen him perform until "Soundstage" DVD. It exceeded my expectations in that I never knew Issak was such a comedian. The guy is hilarious!

Most importantly, he sang well and did some of this best songs. The only bad part of this DVD is that it is so short: the program is only 46 minutes long, enough for about 11 numbers. This guy is such a good singer and so entertaining between songs that I wish this concert was longer. I've read that people who attended this remarked it was longer but cut for this disc.

When I told a good friend about this DVD, he remarked he has seen Isaak twice in concert and said they were two of the best concerts he's ever attended. They were a lot wilder and risqué than the material shown on this made-for-TV disc (which he had also seen.)

Anyway, the songs we hear are:

American Boy, Wicked Game, Go Walking Down There, Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing, Courthouse, Somebody's Crying, One Day, San Francisco Days, Forever Blue and Super Magic 2000.

The most fun was "Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing" because Isaak did a great job with the song and added some great humor to it.
