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, All Movie Guide

Roy Orbison

On this DVD, Roy Orbison performs 17 of his biggest hits with a list of guest stars that is as impressive as it is long. The disc has a standard full-frame 1.33:1 image. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital Stereo, and DTS 5.1. There are neither closed-captions nor subtitles. Although there are no extra features on this disc, the songs themselves, along with appearances by Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, k.d. lang, and a host of others, make this a disc any music fan would want to see and hear at least once. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
