Customer Reviews for Roy Orbison: A Black & White Night - AC3 Dolby

Roy Orbison: A Black & White Night - AC3 Dolby

Model: ID4954OBBD
SKU: 8873917
UPC: 014381495454
One of the most distinctive vocalists in the history of rock and roll, Roy Orbison was in the midst of a well-deserved comeback in 1987 when he performed this special concert for television, beautifully filmed in black and white and featuring some famous friends helping him out. Orbison is joined onstage by Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, k.d. lang, Jackson Browne, Tom Waits, and T.Bone Burnett as he sings "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Only the Lonely," "It's Over," "Blue Bayou," "Crying," "In Dreams," "Running Scared," and ten other classics. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The fact that this live recording is all in black and white cinematography helps set the mood, and with the collection of songs that are delivered, no wonder Elvis said that Roy Orbison is one of the greatest singers ever-

This is one of those performances that I could watch over and over again. The Blu-Ray is great- I'm very glad that the Orbisons and Legacy are working together to keep the spirit of Roy alive by continuing to update and re-release his music.

Blue Bayou is the highlight of this music DVD, in my opinion. This is a classic—and it will be forever. Love you Roy. You are, indeed, the Soul of Rock and Roll.

I just bought the new Box Set ‘Soul of Rock and Roll’, and had to come on here and comment on B&W Night as well. I can never get enough of Roy and although the new box set has taken over for now, I will never get tired of B&W Night because it’s simply one of the best classics there is!

What's great about it: Blu-Ray
I grew up listening to Roy, and this is a serious collaboration of an all star cast singing with him. Undoubtedly one of my best entertainment purchases ever.

i previously owned the audio version of this performance, but since my fiancé recently purchased a blu-ray player, i figured i would get this disc. since we’re all listing our favorites here, mine would have to be the “pretty woman” rendition with everyone participating on stage. priceless.

I don’t think you can find another musical artist who didn’t deserve more credit than Roy Orbison. Somehow overshadowed his entire career, Roy shines in this perfect tribute from the other stars. My favorite song has always been “In Dreams” and when the Violinists put the famous Roy Orbison sunglasses on makes it that much better! Roy’s music is truly what keeps his legend alive!

What's great about it: a great tribute to the great "Big O"
Roy Orbison has always been my idol. I actually picked this Blu-ray up yesterday along with the Roy box set: The Soul of Rock and Roll. I love the way Roy’s voice floats smoothly like a cool summer breeze. This concert that Roy Orbison did has to be my all-time favorite. The song he did with Bruce Springsteen “Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)” is the greatest song ever. Him and Bruce’s harmonies work like clockwork. This Blu-ray is a must have for any fan of classic rock!

Quite possibly the last great tribute of the late Roy Orbison, this one night only musical masterpiece features some of the greatest musicians of the time. As a sign of respect, some of the greats like Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, and even Elvis’ touring band got together to perform some of the great hits of Roy Orbison’s catalog. What a treat it turned out to be. Perfectly mixed and produced, this great show would have been an honor to attend. Wish I could have been there…..
