Roy Orbison & Friends: Black and White Night
Saturday, November 28 at 11:30 pm  

 Roy Orbison & Friends: Black and White Night is an all-star concert recorded live in 1987. Roy Orbison welcomed guests Jackson Browne, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen and others to perform hits like "Only the Lonely," "In Dreams," "Crying," "Oh Pretty Woman" and more.

 

Filmed in black and white against the streamlined art deco stage of the since-demolished Cocoanut Grove in downtown Los Angeles, this triumphant performance for Roy Orbison is buoyed by a remarkable cast of “A-list” Orbison fans who signed on as his accompanists. Under the direction of T-Bone Burnett, the stage band includes the aforementioned Jackson Browne, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, and Bruce Springsteen. Plus, performances by Burnett, J.D. Souther, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits and Jennifer Warnes, along with the rhythm section from Elvis Presley’s fabled late 60s and early 70s touring band.
