John Nepovietz Only Roy could make the group of musical "superstars" on the stage look like a bunch of side men. He stood head and shoulders above his peers, and they didn't seem to mind being in his shadow in the least. He goes through just about his entire catalog of hits (and what a catalog it is): his voice is as bright and vibrant, and in some cases better, as the day he originally recorded them. Visually, this is what a concert should look like. Simple staging, black and white video, clear as a bell sound, no instruments being lost by bad mixing. The band playing and singing like the pros they are. And Roy Orbison singing better than any man his age had a right to. If you don't have this DVD, go and get it. I can guarantee you this will not be a DVD that you'll play once and put in the back of your collection.

Daniella This is a concert I think everyone should see! Young, old and in between. Roy Orbison is always close to my heart as one of the most prolific, sensitive and talented vocalists that graced us with his presence in the music business and was taken from us far too soon. BLACK AND WHITE NIGHT has been shown multiple times on PBS and I never get tired of it. Every time I hear Roy, it's like hearing him for the first time. He has a wonderful tone and totally breaks your heart. Of course, the world knows him most famously for "Pretty Woman," but he is so much more than that song! How wonderful it was that musicians like Bruce Springstein, Tom Waits, Jennifer Warren, KD Lang and Bonnie Raitt joined him in this, his final televised concert before he died of a heart condition in 1988. Watch this, everyone!!!!

sunbeam-4 As an amateur musician, I truly appreciate great music, and this was one of the best hours of television I've ever seen. Everyone was great, especially Roy, Bruce and the other guitar players and musicians. I especially liked Jennifer Warnes, K.D., and Bonnie as backup singers. To sum it up- a truly inspiring hour of music and a tribute to Roy, who passed away way too young. There should be more shows of this caliber- TV would be a better place.

jlind9901 Roy Orbison has one the most recognizable and timeless voices I have ever heard. Most singers can sound good in the studio. Roy was one who could do it live! Recorded live at the Coconut Grove, it was obvious that this assemblage of musical artists were having fun. And I really loved the mid-song "jam sessions". A once in a lifetime incredible performance!
