Synopsis

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

Roy Orbison: A Black & White Night - AC3 Dolby - Blu-ray Disc (13 out of 13)
Elvis said it right...

Posted by: from Pittsburgh, Pa on 10/16/2008The 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-

Over and Over Again

Posted by: from Jackson, MS on 10/15/2008This 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 on Blu-Ray
5
Posted by: from Saratoga Springs, NY on 10/10/2008Blue 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.

Just as great
5
Posted by: from on 10/03/2008I 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!

Posted by: from on 10/02/2008I remember the first time I saw this on PBS and really enjoyed it. I own this on VHS (I call it a classic), and I also just recently bought the Blu-Ray version- TRY IT!

The Best

Posted by: from on 10/02/2008I 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 Love Roy

Posted by: from Philly, Pa on 10/02/2008It’s pretty cool to see k.d. lang and Bruce Springsteen so young! Roy is such an incredible musician and he brings so many legendary singers together. R.I.P. my good friend. You are greatly missed!

Posted by: from altadena, ca on 10/01/2008i 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.
