Post Description

He may not have been blessed with the photogenic looks and obvious charisma of your typical rock star, but Roy Orbison had at least two of the things that make a great artist: timeless songs, and a voice to sing 'em with. That's all on display in this hour-long 1982 performance on television's Austin City Limits. It's not Orbison's finest moment, perhaps; his band is competent but uninspired, and neither sound nor video quality is topnotch. But all is forgiven when he matches that soaring, almost operatic tenor to dramatic, heart-wrenching classics like "Only the Lonely," "Crying," "Leah," "Running Scared," and the rest (including "Pretty Woman," the rocker that may be Orbison's best-known hit). DVD extras include photos and a brief documentary about Wink, Texas, and the high school band Orbison formed while attending high school in that desolate burg.

Don't believe everything that you hear that Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and White Night is only live recording, and somehow this had been forgotten, and you very rarely see this play on tv. And that is a shame, since you get the chance to see Roy Orbison performing outdoors, wearing his sunglasses. On the box of this program, you get the songs that you will hear, and the musicians that you will see, and Roy Orbision is the only person that is both playing guitar, and singing. The strong and the weak points are, on is you see this program is in color and in black and white, but this program is not in Black and White. Roy Orbsion also does 2 reprises of his songs. And you don't see him breaking into guitar breaks, as much as he did in the black and white night program. The songs are in order by pefromed in the special are
