Product Notes
Originally produced as a television special for Showtime, this fantastic live special features the now-deceased rocker Roy Orbison with several equally legendary rock performers. Friends and colleagues including Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, and Tom Waits joined Orbison at Los Angeles's Coconut Grove in order to collaborate with and pay tribute to this irreplaceable rock and roll talent. Songs performed include many of the classic songs of romance that made him famous--from "Oh, Pretty Woman" to the tragic ballad "Crying." Shot in black and white, this performance looks as beautiful as it sounds, featuring at any one time a killer all-star band onstage, clearly loving every minute of playing with Roy, who of course outshines them all.

last great tribute??????........., October 2, 2008
By steph bailey
Quite possibly the last great tribute of the late Roy Orbison, this one night
only musical masterpiece features some of the greatest musicians of the time.
As a sign of respect, some of the greats like Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne,
Elvis Costello, and even Elvis’ touring band got together to perform some of the
great hits of Roy Orbison’s catalog. What a treat it turned out to be.
Perfectly mixed and produced, this great show would have been an honor to
attend. Wish I could have been there…..

Roy and Bruce rock the place, October 2, 2008
By Theadore77
Roy Orbison has always been my idol. I actually picked this Blu-ray up yesterday
along with the Roy box set: The Soul of Rock and Roll. I love the way Roy’s
voice floats smoothly like a cool summer breeze. This concert that Roy Orbison
did has to be my all-time favorite. The song he did with Bruce Springsteen
“Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)” is the greatest song ever. His and Bruce’s
harmonies work like clockwork. This Blu-ray is a must have for any fan of
classic rock!
Roy is a Legend!!!!, October 2, 2008
By Gordonian
I don’t think you can find another musical artist who didn’t deserve more credit
than Roy Orbison. Somehow overshadowed his entire career, Roy shines in this
perfect tribute from the other stars. My favorite song has always been “In
Dreams” and when the Violinists put the famous Roy Orbison sunglasses on makes
it that much better! Roy’s music is truly what keeps his legend alive!
priceless piece of history, October 2, 2008
By lcaldwell85
i 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.
"incredible night of music", October 2, 2008
By JennyE
“Crying” is my favorite song of all time. It reminds me of the loss of my
husband, every time I hear it. Included in this incredible night of music,
“Crying” brings tears to my eyes. Roy Orbison has faced much tragedy in his life
and this song fits perfectly. Roy Orbison, a great musician. R.I.P. Roy Orbison

be
crying over you, crying over you”
