Gotta love the band... From his "Black and White Night" Concert... Pretty much an All Star ensemble... Not just Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello... Bonnie Raitt, KD Lang, Tom Waits, T Bone Burnett, and Jackson Browne, to mention just a few more... The actual band itself was Elvis's TCB Band... Not to mention who was in the Audience, such as Patrick Swayze and Kris Kristofferson... It was a legendary concert that we very nearly nearly missed getting to see the footage of... There was an earthquake that night (After the concert) and a chandelier fell onto the master tape and could have destroyed the video... Fortunately, it turned out to be just fine, only damaging the case it was in... It was filmed in November 1987, released in January 1988, and Roy passed away in December of 1988... Great reaction...
So sad that Roy passed way just when he was having a massive career revival after too many years in the doldrums. The "Black and White Night" concert is an absolute classic and the roster of supporting musicians shows just how highly he was regarded.
What I love about Roy is in general you knew he was like a unicorn. Even in the day people clamored to work with him no matter how popular or how great they were. Because he was the last of a Great era of singers. And he was the best in my opinion of the crooners.❤ Elvis Presley himself once said that the man had the voice of an Angel and that he greatly looked up to him. People like Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello and KD Lang and many many of the great artists just like in the traveling wilburys where you had Jeff Lynne George Harrison and Tom Petty working with Roy because they just wanted to collaborate with him. They wanted to make beautiful music and they never replaced him they would just give him a place of honor in their video like rocking chair rocking by itself things like that just to tell that he's always there even if in spirit you have the Joshua tree by INXS I think it was an excess that love them or was it you two I can't remember it's been awhile guys but I do know a lot of the popular rock bands in the 80s really love him too. He was just someone that could bridge a lot of gaps and make a lot of people love him that's why I said he was like a unicorn.. something you ever see and you'll never see again. Rare and unique another words... And he had a really hard life he lost a wife and some children and he had a child or two children left and he got remarried but the loss it really. I mean how do you ever get over something like that losing your family I think he was in mourning for a long time maybe he just never got over it. I mean when it comes to your babies are going to breathe them until you die. And he died relatively so young I mean not as young as Elvis but still extremely young and it's sad cuz I would have liked to have seen many more years with Roy
@@Lifewithstan2020 I'm going to look for it right now that's one of my faves from the Wilburys. You know that name comes from a saying musicians have will bury it in the mix. And they are the traveling Wilburys.
Love your reaction Stan!... you are correct. This man this humble kind soft souled man was the Greatest. As Bono said we all bow down to Roy's voice. It is the uniqueness of his voice.. One of his sons said he lived for the high notes. He was right. what seperated him from the great to the very best for me is his unearthly voice his almost supernatural sound was something that no-one came close. Their never will be another Roy Kelton Orbison. His voice made men cry when listening live to him. I love this man for his voice, his humbleness and kindness. When asked how he would liked to be remembered Roy said he would "just like to be remembered. I recommend Stan that you listen to Roy's other big hit "It's over" and a beautiful ballard that no-one seems to play or react to "Crawling Back" there is also another beutiful song "Evergreen" which has not been reacted to often. Man ...Roy Orbison was truly great and such a beautiful soul. A gift from above for sure.
There's a lot more legendary artists in that concert than just two. Elvis' TCB band includes James Burton, Ronny Tutt, and Glen D. Hardin. Also Jackson Browne, Tom Waits, K.D. Lang, Jennifer Warnes.
" I Gotta Woman Mean as She Can Be" sang Elvis Presley. And he did a great job, but not as good as the original version by Roy Orbison. It's on the Black and White Night video, but I really prefer the version he did twenty years earlier at the Monument Concert video. ua-cam.com/video/A3McyEjVnSs/v-deo.htmlsi=MKS30Pr-QZCFjGjO
Roy Orbison, Elvis, and Tom Jones, are the 3 GOATS of all time... the biggest tragedy is losing Roy at a relatively young Age.... even Elvis said that Roy was the best singer in the world. Tom Jones is still with us.... thank God for youtube who keep the dead alive.... thank you youtube.
It was such a shame at one time America turned their back on Roy that he went to U.K. And Europe to massive success because of overwriting it resulting in his early death then the USA found him again same as Gene Putney RIP to both
I was blessed to hear Roy Orbison live in concert in 1986, he was simply amazing!
Always enjoyed this song. He emulates your thoughts and awakens your senses with his voice.
Wow, he's awesome, almost scary, too... I never heard a voice like his...
Roy had the most magnificent voice❤️❤️❤️
My first time hearing this also. Roy’s voice is so unusual he’s in a league of his own. Wonderful reaction ❤
Roy Orbison has a unique and mesmerizing voice ❣️

@@thereunionparty Indeed...
Outstanding concert, great musicians, and roy orbison was a great singer one of the very best
Didn’t know about that earthquake… thanks for the info!
I just can't help but remember how I felt when I first heard his music.

Beautiful Song from Wonderful Singer..

70 plus years old, hell I'm 53, and can't remember where my glasses are !...that voice , wow.
Check out the Traveling Wilburys, ❤
Check out my reaction to the traveling Wilburys

Great music transcends all limits
not sure if you did this one, but Blue angel is another amazing one
This particular concert was recorded only 1 year before his untimely death at 52 years of age ....
Thee was only one Roy Orbison.
You have to listen to Roy singing Penny Arcade
This song was used in the movie"Blue Velvet"
I hear this and think of Frank Booth

Thank you for saving your remarks until the song was over.
Watch “Blue Velvet”…..
