CHRIS ISAAK
Roots rocker and crooner Chris Isaak and his band will be LIVE from
Belly Up, Aspen, CO
(The Spectrum, channel 18 -- Jan. 1 @ 12:45 am ET/Dec. 31 @ 9:45 pm PT)

Thanks!

Darn. I get XM. Thanks for the info., anyway.

~ Lilo

Thank you for this information Isaakette! I get that channel on dish network. Here is the link to the sirius channels.

http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServe...d=1139320914821

It looks like there is a 3 day free trial to listen on the internet?

Thanks, all, for the info!

Let's hope Chris and Silvertone get to Aspen, what with all that snow. The Denver airport was closed again, so I hear.

The Saturday show is sold out and the Sunday $400 tickets are sold out, or so it says here:

http://www.aspentimes.com/article/20061229...229006/-1/rss01

If you have a spare $200, you can still go on NYE.

Is there anyone out here in Isaakland who would be able to record this concert for me on CD? I have numerous live Isaak shows I could trade in exchange.

Having this show on CD would make a great gift for my wife. Or I may use it in the future as a "Get out of the doghouse" free card, in the event that I screw up something down the road, which is bound to happen because I'm married guy and married guys almost always screw someting up at some point during the year. (Last year I forgot about a NYE party, so I was in the doghouse right from the get go!)

I'll be out of town from Dec 30 (9 AM) to Jan 1 (evening). So if you send me a note during those times, I won't be able to respond until after the First.

THANKS!

(I also posted this message on the the other thread about the live show; sorry for the cross post. The system wouldn't let me delete the other post. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I couldn't delete it.)

That's so cool that Chris will be broadcasted on SIRIUS satellite radio on the Spectrum channel on Sunday night during New Year's Eve. I am going to be sure and listen to it. I do have Dish Network and have SIRIUS.

Sorry, but I am old and low tech. Youngsters, please fill me in....is this something that would be available over the internet?

Thanks
Chris' Surf Shop

Yes, it's available online. There is a three day free trial of Sirius Satellite Radio over the internet, and you can get that here.

Let's hope that Chris and Silvertone and all our friends on here that are going to Aspen arrive safely.

And enjoy a sensational show.

And get home safely.

So that we may all get to enjoy a review or two.

Yeah....where are those lazy concert goers? They should be up and writing reviews for the rest of us. It's past 10 a.m. EST.....that's 8 a.m. their time (I think). It's not like they were up late or anything. (just kidding!) Anyone have a review? Anyone? Bueller?

If I can piggy off Western Star's request. I would love to get a copy of the concert if anyone can figure out how to do it.

[size=6]Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!

What the heck?? I am getting nervous about listening to the show!! This is just plain silly! Another hour!!!

Eight more minutes, and I'm already bouncing off the walls.

Happy New Year Blue!!! I am ready to record!! Where the hell are my dancing shoes?

Happy New Year, Kathy! I forgot the show started at 12:45, not 12:30. Sirius lied on this page saying it was at 12:30, but at least it got me here on time.

All I can say at this point in the show is

Wow Chris is singing Judy - I've never heard him sing that before

I love this!!! "Dark Moon"? When have they done that live lately?

sh*t stopped buffering in Only the Lonely


If anyone can tell me which suit Chris is wearing I'll feel like I'm actually in Aspen I'm picturing the pink suit with yellow inserts

Bad, bad man!!! Don't be cruel Chris, and you have "Gone Ridin'"..... I am so glad that I will be able to listen to this again! The earphones are a very cool invention!

Happy New Year in Aspen! And to Chris and Silvertone!!! Auld Lang Syne!!! It is still only 11 here! What the hell, it feels like midnight here now!!!

Hi Kathy, its 5pm on Monday Afternoon here in Australia I'm celebrating twice!!

the concert is great......
it would be better to be there, but i'll take what i can get.

happy new year to all!!!!!!

Happy New Year to you again Senayr!!! You go girl!!!

I will also celebrate again in about 45 minutes. The champagne is ready! This is wonderful!!!

I'm dancing around the room now to Bonnie Bee

I was so afraid that "Blue Spanish Sky" was the end!!! Still "Dancin"!!! That little sweetie!!!

Ooh, they just did a little bit of Bill Monroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky" (also has been performed by Elvis Presley & Paul McCartney)

Woohoo- a free, C-O-M-P-L-E-T-E, crystal clear concert with bonus add on songs from the usual set list. THANK YOU Chris and SIRIUS! Oh- and if you missed it- it will get rebroadcast at 5PM on New Years Day-

5 pm Eastern but 2 pm for those of us on the Pacific Coast...
I'll post more soon...
but right now I'm groovin' to "Tempted" by Squeeze

Was that great or what? Happy New Year everyone! I am going to listen to the broadcast again and have some champagne! Here's to all of you!!!

this was one of the best new year's ever. Chris Isaak live. who could want for more.

Hello to all,
I just accompished my first resolution, to register on this board! The concert was great, and it's not even 12 PM in California yet!. I do wish Chris would sing One Day like he does on the CD, I don't like the version he sang tonight, it does't sound right to me. Happy New Year to everyone!

Hey!! Welcome Beachgirl! You are in the same zone as me.... Getting close to midnight!

my computer is having a fit - doesn't seem to want to save the file maybe I should have experimented with smart pc more than 5 min before the concert started

I'm on cloud 9 - almost as good as seeing Chris live

A few minutes till midnight here in California. I live in the country and people are shooting off fireworks! Kenney would love it! Where is the champagne?

I'm still up here in Baltimore! That show was awesome!!! I loved every second of it. I missed the very beginning...what were the first few songs? I was alone down here at the stroke of midnight, and kind of blue about it, so I'm glad I stayed up and tuned in. What a pick-me-up! I'll have to try and tune it in again tomorrow @ 5:00. Whooohoo!!! Thanks Sirius and CI&S!! FANTASTIC CONCERT!

XOXOXOXOXO

~ Lilo

OMG! My neighbors are shooting off guns! I am staying in the house! Happy New Year Lilo!!! Let me listen to my recording again... "Lonely With A Broken Heart" was #1 and "Let's Have a Party" was #2. So wonderful!!! I will be up for hours....



Are you able to save the file now Senayr?

Good grief, Munchie! Let's hope they are not DRUNK AND shooting guns...yikes! Stay inside is right! Happy 2007. I won't be able to move in the morning when my alarm goes off, but it was SO worth it!! I had never heard the Nyquil song before...ha! "Talk" to ya soon.

~ Lilo

I am sure they are drunk or at least drinking?! This is a normal thing on the 4th of July, and NYE. Living in the country is always interesting! I am listening to the concert again and it sounds really good! There were songs that I had never heard before also. Like "Judy" (my sister's name), and the Nyquil song and a couple others that I can't think of right now.

Here's the Set List with a paraphrase of other things Chris said during the broadcast. It was pretty much the same set list as the shows in 2006, but, fortunately, Chris added 4 more songs (not counting "Believe What You Say" and "Auld Lang Syne" which were already expected):

1. Lonely w/a Broken Heart
Chris said "Let's go Scotty!" before Scott's solo

2. Let's Have a Party
When Chris sang "everyone needs a friend" he said "yes they do, Roly"

3. Let Me Down Easy
Chris had some trouble hitting the high note on the "pleeeease"

***
Talk: Chris did the usual spiel about how last night's show was a warm-up & this one was going to be filthy.
Then he said Kenney's family are seers and asked Kenney for his predictions for 2007.
Kenney said they'll be coming back to Aspen a lot more times before the end of the year.
Chris then said, "Gimme a microphone... I'll work the crowd... This is how I work my tips..." I imagine this part is the usual part where Chris, Scott and Raphael walk through the audience for "Return to Me"
***

4. Return to Me

***
Talk: Chris said, "This is Hershel's showcase piece..." Talked about how the rest of them got fat during the holidays and, going through Aspen, Hershel asked whether he could find a fancy leather belt with beads and such in Aspen (they're a common item for sale there).
***

5. Speak of the Devil

6. Somebody's Crying
Chris, show-offy, said "Excuse me, watch this" before successfully singing the high part at the very end.

7. Wicked Game
After which Chris said, the usual "Get up, here comes the rock 'n' roll part!"

8. Go Walkin' Down There
The keyboards were extra-60s-psychedelic during this one! Yay!

9. One Day
Started off with a really cool, buzzy guitar intro and Chris emitted a sexier, breathier-than-usual "gimme one day" during the bridge. Purrr...

10. I Want You to Want Me
Sorry, Scotty, but the keyboards were a little too chirpy and annoying during the intro.
Fortunately, Scotty finally toned it down and they keyboards awesomely sounded a little bit like Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense & Peppermints" during the "Put on my shirt.." part. Much better...

11. 5:15 (Partial and instrumental only)

12. Waiting (Chris solo acoustic)

13. Two Hearts

14. "Except the New Girl"
transitioning to:

15. Graduation Day
transitioning to:

16. Can't Do a Thing to Stop Me

17. Judy
Chris said "Don't show off" to Hershel during some countryfried guitar playing by Hershel.

***
Talk: Chris acknowledged that they were "on the radio" and jokingly said they had to play a "tight, professional set" and not veer from the setlist too much and therefore could not take requests. Someone shouted "Dark Moon" and Chris went right into... yup, you guessed it:
***

18. Dark Moon
Chris had to ask (as he usually does) Roly, "What key?" Chis asked, "In A, Roly?"

***
Talk: Chris said he loved doing this show because they're on the radio and could make Kenney a star, so he had Kenney sing "Nyquil Blues." Chris said women cuddle up and cry to Kenney due to the meaningful words. Chris asked Kenney, "You're on Nyquil right now, aren't you?" Kenney replied "Yes" and coughed a fake, but wet, loogie-sounding cough. Gross!
***

19. Nyquil Blues

***
Talk: Chris said "If you're bootleggin', tonight's a good night." Chris then said he met someone in SF, and it takes a lot to get him off couch, but he finagled his way backstage to meet this person - and this person just passed away. Chris said to Kenney "Let's play it real pretty" and launched into James' Brown's "I'll Go Crazy."
***

20. "I'll Go Crazy"
After one "I love you too much," Chris said "Yeah, I do" -- muy sexy, Papi!

***
Talk: At the end of "I'll Go Crazy," Chris said "Notice Kenney pounding his way into your house... he just gave you an 'Aspen dry pounding'!"
Chris then mentioned the Belly Up in Aspen was a nice place to play because "everyone is on top of one another... it usually takes a couple hours for everyone to be on top of on another..."
Then Chris went into his bit about meeting Roy Orbison, and how Roly explained how Roy had more than just a flashy suit, that Roy had talent.
Chris said how nice Roy was backstage and how some artists aren't, and how you just want to stick 'em with a "rusty nail" to which Kenney, on cue, said he knew the feeling.
***

21. Only the Lonely

22. Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing
Chris intro'd it by saying "You bad people who did bad things this last year... let's forgive everything until 12 o'clock tomorrow."
Chris called "Over here, Roly!" before singing "You ever love somebody so much your heart was gonna break in two" to which Roly replied, "No sir!" and Chris said "You have to bail her out!"
Chris then did the usual trailer home bit, talking about Aspen trailer homes... saying "I'm home, Honey-Bunny!" and how the Chris Isaak concert sucked ("sucked!")... but hearing noises upon entering the trailer (Chris made high "female" noises, after which he said you hear your girlfriend make noises too) and then see something sparkly and bouncing... and it's a 4 string sparkly bass guitar... and then you put yourself into a corner making wallets (another reference to Aspen and the leather goods it has for sale)... but then hear a man in a whispery, little voice saying "Hi ho, giddyup!"
BDABBT transitioned to:

23. Don't Be Cruel

24. Gone Ridin'

***
Talk: The "Nacho Libre" skit in Spanish introducing Kenney who kicks off "Super Magic 2000"
***

25. Super Magic 2000

***
Talk: Chris calls a man onstage (prolly Doug) who has a "watch accurate within 15 seconds... per week!" and then they count down to midnight.
You hear laughing, and Chris says "Goodnight, there's nothing more to see" and can hear Scott's distinct laugh and Kenney saying "that's French [inaudible]" and Chris says to Scott put that bottle back down on the keyboard and try and act responsible. Sounds like Scott had a bottle of champagne on his keyboards from which he took an exaggerated swig.
***

26. Goin' Nowhere

27. Auld Lang Syne

28. Believe What You Say

29. Blue Hotel

30. San Francisco Days
Chris sings "Shakin' Aspen Days, Shakin' Aspen Nights" also says he brought the only Cuban boy in Aspen (reference to Raphael). Then says, "Come on, Kenney, we're not done."

31. Bonnie B.
In the middle, Chris says "Come over here, Princess, hiding out!" and said what he likes about show business is that he gets to find new talent in show business.
Asks the girl the usual "are you a professional dancer?" line. And someone other girl interrupted and Chris said "Look at the bottom of bottle, it says 'Don't take 'em all, Crazy!' "
The original girl answered Chris that her name was Emily. Chris said Emily was his bass player's middle name, and also said "Who's your Daddy?" and made the "it's from the traditional Gaelic greeting" joke.
When Chris asked Emily to dance, Emily asked, "Can I pretend I'm naked?"
Chris said pretending he's naked works for him, but maybe not for others. Chris asked audience to take their clothes off to make Emily feel more comfortable. After she danced, Chris remarked, "That's beautiful! From the back, it was like watching 2 kids fighting in a tent!" (I think Chris was referring to her bust area?!)

32. Blue Spanish Sky
Chris said, "You're a great audience... it's supposed to be the end of show... I just wanna keep playing... gimme my 'electrical' guitar!"

33. Blue Moon of Kentucky

34. Dancin'
Before the song, Chris asked, "Kenney, hit 'Dancin' 'will ya?"
And before he sang the last note, Chris said "Deep breath here!"

35. Blue Moon
During the very high "vocalise" part in the bridge, Chris jokingly said "everybody now!"

36. American Boy
Chris asked Kenney, "Wanna try 'American Boy'? I think I remember it! Let's just start it! Roly, E? I'll find it..." Once again, Chris asks Roly what key a song is in.
This time, Scott really grooved on the keyboards, the keyboard part here sounded like T. Rex's "Bang A Gong"! Way cool!

Chris introduced Scott as Scott "Plinkett" Plunkett who's "out on parole," and Hershel "with a name like Yatovitz, it's gotta be good" and once again made reference to Kenney's psychic abilities as calling "Kenney, the man who sees the future."

Chris then introduced himself as "I'm Ricky Nelson" (which I didn't find very funny, after reading about Ricky Nelson and what happened on NYE on the boards).

And then Chris said the usual about their being available for autographs and "free, physical examinations" after the show ("we're not doctors... it won't hurt if you don't tense up.")

And before Sirius ended the program you could hear the first word "Whoa..." from Dion's "The Wanderer" which I also read about on the boards.

Dear Anon

Thanks for the review - wish I had been there. Unfortunately I didnt win the 33 million Australian Lotto on Saturday night so making a quick dash to Canada was quickly scrapped from the board.

Glad you all had a good time.

To Chris and the boys, happy new year, dont leave it too long before you next trip to down under.

XXOO

I have the show saved. Its a 100meg file. I'm listening right now to be sure its in tact. It sounds sooooo good and the guys were great! I listened to most last night, but had to wear headphones and took them off sometimes. I never heard any buffering, but I want to make sure. I'm gonna record again this afternoon in WAV, the file I did last night is HQ mp3. I'll get them uploaded to Sendspace once I figure that out. I'm not going to break it into tracks because I like to listen without the track breaks when its a live show, but there are many free programs to slice it for those who wanna do that. Happy New Year!

You little ripper CalicoSkies!! I've been frigging around here for ages looking at ways to record Sirius in 8 hours time, without downloading a suspect program, and without waking up anyone else at 9 in the morning (Oz). Problem solved. Thanks heaps for that, and Happy New Year to you too!

Yowser! Thanks so much, Anon ~ GREAT and thorough run-down of the Aspen show. Much appreciated! That'll have to do for this little black duck, because of being on throw-up (oh sorry, make that DIAL-up!); making it impossible to hear those broadcasts or d/load them even when they're done (100 mgs worth?! ) But, I've had a damn good run of Isaak goodies over the past couple of months, so I ain't complaining. When I get my act together I'll try and put something together on the Aussie 'On Tour with Chris' documentary.

Happy New Year to you too Cheryl. If all this downloading and uploading goes to plan, I am sure we can work something out!

I have the show uploaded to Sendspace. Its in 2 files, totalling 100meg. I broke it into 2 files so it can be put on cd easily. I did not slice the show into tracks. I am not sure its ok to place the links here in this message, so anyone interested please just pm me and I will give you the links.

Thanks CalicoSkies.
The Acoustic set has begun - love it. Not long now for "Judy"!!

I just listened to the encore of the concert. The pause in "Only the Lonely" was fixed but the station cut off American Boy and Chris' goodbye! Or was it just my radio?

edit: We were posting at the same time CalicoSkies!

Well, I'm glad I got the live broadcast recorded because Siruis cut off the last song (American Boy) from the rebroadcast. The good news is that the rebroadcast also has no drop out in Only The Lonely. The file is huge tho, I can't even upload to sendspace. I'm only allowed to upload 300meg and this file is 1.04gig.
