Roy Orbison - The Black And White Night

Originally produced as a television special for Showtime, this fantastic live special features the now-deceased rocker Roy Orbison with several equally legendary rock performers. Friends and colleagues including Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, and Tom Waits joined Orbison at Los Angeles's Coconut Grove in order to collaborate with and pay tribute to this irreplaceable rock and roll talent. Songs performed include many of the classic songs of romance that made him famous--from "Oh, Pretty Woman" to the tragic ballad "Crying." Shot in black and white, this performance looks as beautiful as it sounds, featuring at any one time a killer all-star band onstage, clearly loving every minute of playing with Roy, who of course outshines them all.

Starring Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, K.D. Lang, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne

    Essential piece of music history

    If you have any kind of interest in popular music you'll find this concert to be an essential page in pop history. That so many music heros would take a backstage role in the shadow of this giant should convince anyone of value of this musical document. The audio mix is superb, the performances spell-binding. Tantalising glimpses of Bonnie Raitt as part of the female backing trio make this dvd worth the view.
