Bootleg: "Live 1994"
shroe comments: Though the packaging says 1991, this show is rumored to be from 1988 (and it looks like it from the setlist).
A snippet of a full concert review dated April 29, 1991 (to put to rest any notion that this concert was from 1988):

Article snippet: "After six years of playing to seemingly the same small group of fans, Chris Isaak made a triumphant return to Chicago, this time as a bonafide pop star...Isaak kicked the concert off with "Dancin,' a single from his 1985 debut LP, "Silvertone." As Kenney Dale Johnson drummed the familiar opening beat, the fans cheered and clapped before Isaak sang his first verse. When he did sing, Isaak's smooth tenor belied the fact that on this tour, where he has few days off between predominantly back-to-back gigs, his vocal cords are getting minimal rest.
While the moody ballad "Wicked Game" received the evening's loudest ovation, Isaak had better songs up his sleeves. He varied his set, nestling the slower numbers in between more rocking songs from his three LPs, throwing in covers of Bo Diddley's "Diddley Daddy," the Troggs' "Wild Thing" and Tom Jones' "Delilah" and unleashing his accordion for a raucous version of "Caldonia." Later, softly strumming a guitar that his elder brother engraved for him, Isaak sang a languidly sensual version of "Blue Spanish Sky." Saxophonist Johnny Reno made his entrance during this song, creating sweet melodies that caressed Isaak's vocals like a cashmere glove."
