Chris Isaak- Rheem Theater, Moraga Ca 12/1/89 Lossless xfer from 8mm Master Video w/ Jimmy Wilsey

I get daily emails with listings for local estate sales and most of them have the usual stuff- old cookware, vintage clothing & accessories, and general stuff that I don't need. So I get this listing in my email last week and there are hundreds of photos of the usual things, and then toward the bottom there is a photo of an autographed Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom boys, along with a lot of other autographed memorabilia from people like John Denver. What the heck?
Work was nuts last week so I could not make it over there in time for the Buck Naked LP (dammit Robert Mckeown), but oh man what an amazing collection. I have never seen someone with such a deep collection of just a small handful of artists- personally autographed items from Alan Jackson, thanking "Laurie" for believing in him before he was popular; a ton of Chris Isaak autographed stuff, and these 4 8mm tapes that were by the door where you pay. I knew right away what they were and snapped them up.
Obviously filmed with permission

Wow, this is great. Thank you SO much for adding it. I found myself wishing Jimmy's guitar was more prominent, but it's good insight into how much of the overall sound Chris was contributing with his rhythm parts. Also, it so nice to hear him say "Jimmy" so much. I could sense the love between those two as they had been together much longer than Kenny and Roly at this point. On the other hand, I found myself wondering how much of the banter was just playful jabs vs. something a little more (e.g., the comment about something keeping Jimmy out of k.d. lang's band, that story about Jimmy's pupils being so small, etc.). At any rate, I wish there were more videos from this period of time. Thanks again!

@@sacramentomusicarchivedid you ever post the other video you mentioned here? Was it also filmed at the Rheem Theatre? There have been a few youtube videos of the audio from some concerts at Rheem Theatre but this is the only video I've seen. There's been some amazing artists who have played there over the years and this video is priceless! Thanks for posting!
