Superb.
Rock 'n' roll legend Roy Orbison and some friends, legends in their own right, get together and perform some of Orbison's songs.
Superb. Orbison alone is a giant of rock 'n' roll but the stars gathered to honour him are individually giants too: Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Bonny Raitt, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, k.d. lang, T Bone Burnett.
Great musicians, music, fun vibe, superb show.

It's a little unreal seeing Springsteen on stage with Orbison -- not because I'm an enormous fan of either, but because it's an odd clash of time periods, and Orbison looks like almost fantastical on stage, like he was transplanted from an earlier time to record this performance. His singing voice is surprisingly perfect for a man of his age.

Legendary. Roy Orbison.
Never has a man looked so fine in Ray Bans and leather boots. Maybe because HE STARTED THAT SHIT. What a magnificent man, crooning and growling with such ease. What a voice.
Roy Orbison and friends deliver a truly special performance. What a joy to see the look of adoration on Bruce Springsteen's face as he's jamming alongside his idol. What a night. Filmed and shot artistically, properly, Black and White Night.

Wow! An all-star back-up banded headed by Bruce Springsteen and featuring Jennifer Warnes, Tom Waits, k.d. lang, T-Bone Burnette, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Elvis's back-up band and other luminaries. But Orbison's operatic voice and songs are the biggest delight. It was filmed in September, 1987, a year and three months before Orbison's death. Too bad. His career had bottomed out, and was on the rise when he was struck down. This film --- shot in one session at the Cocoanut Grove in LA and in black and white --- is a fitting memorial. Wow!

TV special a year before Roy's death, an outstanding Roy Oribison tribute in black and white. Filmed at California's Coconut Grove in Los Angeles 1986. Bruce Springsteen, at the near height of his popularity sings with Orbison.

A clip from the film has Springsteen, KD Lang, others backup:

An all too short 56 minutes featuring guests as duet or most usually backup vocals. Orbison's fringe buckskin leather jacket is oddly out of synch with the black tie entertainers.

NOTES:
1 The concert has been released in several home video formats, including VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray. The soundtrack has been released on CD, SACD that features both Stereo and Multi Channel Mixes, 12" vinyl LP, and DVD-Audio.
2 Black & White Night, the live album, was compiled and released posthumously from the television special. The album was released in February 1989 and included the songs "Blue Bayou" and "Claudette" that were cut from the original broadcast for time.
3 The special consisted of a performance of many of Orbison's hits at the then Ambassador Hotel's Cocoanut Grove nightclub (Los Angeles) in Los Angeles, filmed on September 30, 1987, approximately fourteen months before his death. Three songs, "Blue Bayou", "Claudette", and "Blue Angel", were filmed but not included in the original broadcast due to time constraints.

The now deceased Orbison looked and sang in fine form. He and everyone looked pleased and proud to be on stage with this classic rock n roll artist.
The then young Springsteen and Orbison do Dream Baby together as a duet. The intimate confines of the Coconut Grove lounge is perfect in black and white. Nice camerawork, up close and personal with crowd shots thrown in.
