I am a long time fan of Chris, and have been very excited for this DVD to be released. The last Soundstage DVD left me a bit flat. Having seen him many times in concert, this one was much more vibrant and fun. He did his acoustic set, which I really love. I had never heard him sing Western Stars live before, it was really beautiful. My only complaint is with Soundstage. The filming itself jumped around way too much, I would have liked to have some wider shots of the whole band, but it it was just bouncing from shot to shot, some sideways, some at an up angle, and never left you there long enough to really appreciate what each musician was doing. Plus it made me a little nauseous.
And the way the bonus tracks are formatted is seriously messed up. From the main menu, you don't have the option to see all the footage they had cut. You have to choose each song separately, which seriously messes up the flow. I'm happy to see them, but they could have just put them all together.
But Chris was perfect. From his sequins to his pretty voice. He loves what he does, and he sure is good at it.

Have the first concert of the 2 on this BD, on DVD, this Blu-ray blows that far away. The picture is very good, but it is the DTS HD MA sound that make this a must have for Isaak fans. (Pity those who can't access the HD Sound!) Better than having his band there live in your living Room (Takes up less space). Regards from OZ
Great DVR. Saw him live at Mt. Pleasant casino several years ago & this rivaled his performance there. His songs are deep, personal, and touch just the right feeling button. He really relates to his audience, live or on DVD. Love Chris Isaak!
I go see Chris Isaak every time he comes to town (twice if he's playing both local venues). He is an amazing and very entertaining performer. This DVD is just like the real thing... nothing beats seeing him live and his meet-an-greets afterwards, of course, but this DVD is just as good and entertaining as his live concerts because it actually IS a live concert.
The camera angles and quality allow you to experience the performance the way it was meant to be seen and heard. The quality of the video & sound recording is excellent.
I highly recommend this one if you are looking for a great live DVD!
This disc requires equipment capable of decoding dolby audio. Tried on 2 different DVD players, a desktop pc and a brand new Lenovo laptop and they would not play the concert audio. Audio on the menus plays fine but as soon as the concert starts, silence. Confirm your equipments capabilities before you consider this one otherwise you'll be disappointed.
