Roy Orbison and Friends - Black and White Night (1987) (DVD & SACD)

A soaring voice

By Stuart F  Feb 8, 2009

Pros: Roy's greatest hits (mostly)

Cons: I wish the concert lasted longer.

Most people know Roy Orbison from his big hit "Oh Pretty Woman" from the 1960s. But Roy Orbison had a string of hits starting about the time of Elvis' debut (they started at Sun Studios)and the string of hits ended with Pretty Woman. Be...autiful songs tailored to Roy's incredible vocal range and soulful expression. This DVD was filmed in black and white and the camera work is quite good. The sound which features the usual Dolby 5.1 mix also has DTS (digital theater sound) which I prefer on my home theater system. Read more Less
