Great Music from Roy and a Cast of Great Musicians

Every note is great whether it's sung or played by Roy and this wonderful cast.

Great Musician, Great Singer, Great Man!

I don't agree with anybody saying that Roy's voice wasn't as good in 1987 as it had been in the 1960's era. I've listened to some tracks from 'a black and white night live' and compared them to studio originals from the 60's.



I do have to admit that Orbison is indeed sounding somehow more vulnerable in 1987, but the control he has over his voice has probably grown throughout the years. He's still able to reach the highest notes on songs like It's Over, In Dreams and Running Scared.



In fact, my opinion is that Roy sings even better at this live performance than in the studio's in the 1960's: although it is a live performance, he's still able to reach the high notes pretty easily, while some of his 60's recordings contain parts where he's singing a litte flat on some demanding parts.



The appearance of guest stars only adds to the fun. Also the backing band, which Elvis Presley had been touring with in the 70's, is very much able to set the mood for Roy's songs. I even daresay that this particular backing group sounds even better than the one(s) on Roy's records from the 60's.



I would really want to recommend this live album to any Roy Orbison and/or classic rock 'n roll fan. It's a great effort and performance from a man who was taken away from us too soon. I really miss him.

Roy Is The Greatest

This DVD is an absolute must have. For the poor unfortunates who were unlucky to never see Roy perform, well buy this DVD it's all you could want and more!! My children were absolutely enthralled as to how he could hit perfect note after perfect note with such apparent ease. Nice to see The Boss there and Elvis Costello too, shame KD Lang was only backing but hey who's grumbling. This is absolutely brilliant I'd give more stars if I could
