FANTASTIC!!!

After watching this a couple of times on my local PBS station, I HAD to get it. Awesome!

Drift away with Roy

This DVD should be in every home in America. And Canada. And wherever they have DVD players with surround sound systems. I am doing my part, sending it to those I know and love. You never get tired of it and is the perfect backdrop for any social event, whether for two or many.

He is the Man......

This is one of the best ever music DVD's. RO is a legend (rightfully so), and this collection shows why he's that legend. He's at the top of his game and the surrounding members of the band and vocal support give this performance a truly unique flavor. I especially enjoyed watching Bruce Springsteens looks change from awe for Roy in some songs, then go to an almost "lost" look as to whats going on in others. All in all, a great DVD.

Roy The Boy

In another entry in this space I have reviewed Roy Orbison's In Dreams that is a more `talking heads' approach to his life and music. And that too has its merits. However, when we talk of Roy Orbison then the music is what we really want to deal with. And here one gets all the Roy the Boy one wants, and more. Backed by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits and Jackson Browne Roy goes through a litany of his greatest hits from Claudette to Pretty Woman.

But wait, what about the back up singers that were mandatory to late 1950's rock music. Well, how about k.d. Lang, Bonnie Raitt and Jennifer Warnes. Well, not bad for backup, right? That tells you exactly what you are getting here. The best. Plus a bonus, bonus in some very, very fine licks by T-bone Burnett. Outstanding here are Sweet Dreams, Baby (with Springsteen on lead vocals along with Roy) and the finale Pretty Woman (with an incredible series of riffs by all the guitarists). Yes, Sweet Dreams Baby.
