Best Audio DVD to date
From the first time I played this years ago, this dvd remains my #1 favorite of all my collection. The dts mix and quality is absolutely fantastic. This shows what is possible even without hi-def. There are some other great convert dvd's in dts , but this is tops. Every channel has top notch sound coming from it, but does not sound artificial at all as often happens. Crank this up very loud, sit in the middle, and the realism will put you into the concert. Black and white video rather than color actually adds to the effect in my opinion, making it a bit surreal and placing the emphasis on the sound where it belongs. Did I mention that I love this dvd? You won't be sorry, even if you are only remotely a fan of Roy Orbison - in fact you will likely become a fan after listening to this!
I FIRST SAW THIS PROGRAM WHEN ORIGINALLY SHOWN ON HBO IN THE 80'S. I WAS BLOWN AWAY WITH JUST THE STEREO MTS SOUND THEN. EVEN BETTER ON DVD NOW.
LANDMARK PERFORMANCE OF ROY'S GREATEST HITS WITH BIG NAME SUPPORTING PLAYERS.
IF ARE A FAN OF ROY, THIS IS THE FIRST DVD YOU SHOULD BUY.
IF NOT, YOU PROBABLY WILL BE BY THE TIME THE PROGRAM ENDS.
MY LOCAL PBS STATION RUNS IT FROM TIME TO TIME, IF YOU WANT TO PREVIEW IT. I ALWAYS TUNE IN WHEN THEY DO.

1 of the best music dvd's ever
This is one of the best music dvd's I have ever bought. I was brought up by my father on artists like Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, so to see this and hear Roy's voice redone in DTS and to see him with superstars of that time who idolized him, is amazing. Crying and Only The Lonely are my 2 fav. on the DVD, but they are all great. Buy this if you are a fan of great music!
