Filmed in black and white, Roy Orbison's 1987 television concert covers all his hits, including "Pretty Woman," "Only the Lonely," "Crying" and "Dream Baby." The Skiffle rocker “Claudette” grooves inexplicably well for a song devoid of electric bass, while Orbison displays an impressive flair for the harmonica during “Candy Man” ‘s instrumental passages. A star-studded group of friends -- Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt and Bruce Springsteen, among others -- joins Orbison onstage in a 1940s nightclub setting, jamming with one of rock 'n' roll's most unforgettable voices.Much of it sounds sensational. From the opening lyrics of "Only the Lonely" it's clear Orbison has control of the stage and that remarkable voice of his. The big names backing him, like Bruce Springsteen, stay out of Roys way, and poor Tom Waits doesn’t seem to know what to do at any moment. Kicking off with "Only the Lonely" and finishing with "Oh, Pretty Woman", this concert features one great performance after another with numerous songs bringing the house down including great versions of "Dream Baby", "Ooby Dooby", "In Dreams" and "Crying". Bruce Springsteen adds a blithe Western arrangement to the jiving “Dream Baby” a song that singer Glen Campbell brought to the Billboard Top Ten in 1971. It’s a subdued affair for a rock concert, but the music is beautiful and Roy is absolutely gorgeous singing these songs.

Unlike other such events where old stars play with their younger admirers, they are pretty much just his backing band, content to share a stage, rather than the spotlight with their hero. Lang, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Waits and many others but this concert belongs to the legendary Roy from start to finish. Lang harmonizes as delicately as Tom Waits presses piano keys. This was one night where the godfather of pop music songwriting, and one of the most gifted singers to ever live, showed off his legendary abilities. Seventeen songs are packed into a fast paced 65-minutes making this one of the greatest concert/documents ever recorded. Lang.

Elvis Costello, disciplined in the pop permutations of sixties music, sounds ecstatic joining Orbison on the jaunty harmony to “Pretty Woman”.
