This DVD is to be part of any collection of music lovers. The concert was shot with black and white 35mm film, basic condition imposed by Roy Orbison to participate of this party, and the result is amazingly wonderful. Bone Burnett and Tom Waits, is spectacular. Souther, Jackson Browne, Jennifer Warner, K.D. The icon Roy Orbison, who had a personal life filled with many tragedies, playing and singing with names like Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, J.D. Later, I replaced my VHS by the DVD, and I have watched this show at least ten times on these medias. On October 23rd, 1999, I bought an imported VHS of this concert and I was astounded with such a wonder. Rating this 10 stars doesn't seem to be enough!
You can just see how thrilled they were to be on stage with the legend. These artists revered Orbison and it shows. Just the look on Springsteen's face tells it all. Everyone on stage is having a super time. On "Pretty Wonan," you hear the three guitar players on three different speakers. The fast songs are fantastic, and the 5.1 sound is highlighted more on them as you hear different instruments come out of all five speakers - and they are distinct. There are a bunch of celebrities in the audience, too, ranging from Kris Kristofferson to Tiny Tim! Most of the times I get more pumped listening to the fast songs, although the slow ones are very good, too. Lang - not bad, eh? Jackson Browne leads the male trio. The female backups are Bonnie Raitt, Jennifer Warnes and k.d. Also, you get all- star male and female backup trios. Orbison's classic songs are embellished by Bruce Springsteen, T-Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello, Mike Utley, Tom Waits plus other lesser-known but very talented artists. The contrasts and shades are magnificent. The black-and-white photography also is nicely done. Why can't all music DVDs sound this good? Orbison does all his hit songs, and sings them well, with excellent backup from talented and famous musicians and singers. This is a fun, nostalgic feel-good disc, which always pleases and is outstanding, as mentioned to both see and hear. If you like old-fashioned rock 'n roll with updated instrumentals, this is about as good as it gets with (along with "Carl Perkins' and Friends: Blue Suede Shoes" DVD). This concert was a "10," however, even on the VHS, which I stumbled on shortly after this was released and was grateful to have discovered.
I use the word "great" for several reasons: 1 - the surround sound was (and may still be) the best I had ever heard on disc 2 - the songs are all outstanding 3 - the singers and musicians are fantastic and, 4 - the beautiful black-and-white photography brings a nice touch. The first great concert DVD I ever bought was this one.
