 Roy Orbison Black & White Night
Roy Orbison doing these songs acoustically would have been special - but doing them with this superb collection of musical luminaries, some legends in their own right, is almost guaranteed to produce something not just special but immortal.
Shadow detail is deliberately restrained, highlighting the fl and white nature of the programming and as a homage of sorts to a man famed for his fl rimmed glasses and dark suits.
However, it has to be said that there is not an overwhelming depth to the fl and white tones and the whole show really is presented in nicely detailed grey scales in the middle of the spectrum.

Filmed in fl and white against the streamlined art deco stage of the since-demolished Coconut Grove in downtown Los Angeles, the concert is buoyed by a remarkable cast of A-list Orbison fans who signed on as his accompanists.
Orbison himself sounds as powerful as ever, his soaring falsetto cresting as dramatically as it did on the studio versions of the hits that inevitably dominate.
Younger friends and relatives who had only a passing knowledge of Roy Orbison were stunned by the brilliance of the performances on this DVD.

 Festival 2006 on Channel 5
Few early rockers were more gifted or less honored in their prime than the late Roy Orbison, whose vaulting tenor and vulnerable love songs conjured heartbreak and desire with operatic intensity.
A Black and White Night survives as a triumphant performance and a first-rate retrospective of Orbison's hits.
Filmed in fl and white against the streamlined art deco stage of the since-demolished Coconut Grove in downtown Los Angeles, the concert is buoyed by a remarkable cast of performers.

 Amazon.co.uk: Roy Orbison - The Black And White Night [1987]: DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Roy's voice sounds strained when he tries to reach high notes in songs such as "Only the Lonely" and it has not aged well.
In particular Roy's voice sounds gruff and unrefined in the Elvis Costello song "The Comedians", which is very similar to "Running Scared" in it's style but Roy is nowhere near as good vocally on this track.
In it's favour, this concert is beautifully filmed in Black and White, superbly directed and edited, and the sound is incredible, hard to believe this concert is from 1987.

Regarding the fl and white format.....it is sharp and clear with excellent video mixes.....you are usually on the right person at the right time throughout and the fact that it was shot at LA's Coconut Grove makes it even better.
But what is spectacular is Roy's delivery of Blue Bayou, the sailing lyric in It's Over, the rhythm section on Candy Man, the fun in redoing his 1st hit from Sun Studios...Ooby Dooby...there isn't a track on this one that won't find a special place in your heart.

More remarkable than the performance of those hits is the reverential looks and obvious excitment of Springsteen, Costello, lang, Raitt, Browne, etc. as they accompany him on his tour of transistor radio hits.
Roy knew how to constrain all that emotion behind his words until he was ready to release it.
And that doesn't even begin to address Orbison's lyrics: "A candy colored clown they call the sandman; tiptoes to my room every night; just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper: "go to sleep, everything is alright." Buy the tape.
