September 30, 1987
Mystical, captivating, enthralling – these words describe what Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and White Night will mean to millions of worldwide Orbison fans and to the concept of modern music. It will be known as a rare documentation of spontaneous perfection by all parties involved, from technicians to Roy himself. For longtime fans, the album will recreate the sheer brilliance for the vocal, lyrical, and compositional skills they know and love. Even for the casual listener, it will be a treasured remembrance of Roy Orbison, the artist and the man.
The only commercially available live recording of him, it describes musically the intricacies of his complex, secretive personality. Also heard are the harmony and conflict of the band’s personalities, which include Jackson Browne, T Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Waits. With little rehearsal these gifted performers gave their best in tribute to Roy.
This is a complete audio recording of the famous “Coconut Grove Sessions,” which were taped digitally with a video counterpart in September, 1987. Roy’s soulful, operatic versions of hits span his career, from the first song he ever wrote, “Down the Line,” through the legendary cuts as of “Crying” and “Oh, Pretty Woman,” to songs from his multi million-selling swansong album “Mystery Girl” and far beyond.
The concert marks the beginning of his current revival and will be remembered as the second coming of Roy Orbison. Critics have repeatedly listed Roy Orbison as one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Most listeners, especially his recently-attracted younger following, accept these accolades solely on the basis of his studio recordings. However, the brilliance of those songs would mean nothing if it could not be repeated outside the studio. It is repeated on this recording.
Much like an original painting by a great painter, this is a live album by a great musician. This music was written for you by Roy Orbison and expressed in his best manner: live, onstage…on a black and white night.
