A Black and White Night Live Live

Reader Reviews
I remember it well; I watched it in awe on cable and taped it. I still have the tape. I have the cassette version of this CD. When PBS trots it out during a fund raiser, I watch it again. It is very special to me. Nobody has to tell you about the vocal powers of Roy Orbison. The show was no doubt shot in black and white to conceal Roy's less-than-striking physical qualities. People magazine had a picture of him with a reference to his being an "antique rocker". But when the lights came up, Roy showed us all that he still had it. As other reviewers have noted, accomplished musicians with their own fan bases were on hand in backup roles to provide excellent support without displaying any ego of their own. They were there to support their hero. This is one of the best filmed concerts I have ever seen and highly recommend you get the DVD as well. In the filmed version, as the cameras pull back after the concert, Kris Kristofferson can be seen in the audience, playing to the camera and grinning his approval. This is one item you are bound to treasure. This is music history made more significant by Roy's sudden death just months later.
