Summary: The Very Best that you will listen too of Roy Orbison
Comment: I have the standard Roy Orbison Greatest Hits DVD. When you listen to it compared to the Blue Ray version of Black and White, it sounds like the music is coming through some muted filter. The Blue Ray version is absolutely the best Music you will ever hear. I have the Eagles Hell Freezes over and used to think that it was the standard by which everything else would be judged. The Blue Ray blowes it out of the water as far as pure sound enjoyment. Each note on the guitars, bass guitar, drums, harmonica, zylephone just stands out so much. The sound stage and vocals are incredible. I will not buy another cd or standard DVD unless it has True HD Audio or full PCM. It a waste of money when the uncompressed sound from Blue Ray is soooooo much better.

Summary: Superb Transfer
Comment: This is the best audio and video transfer I've seen on HD-DVD or Blu-ray. I've watched it several times now and I never tire of it. A beautiful tribute to Roy Orbison.

Summary: *****
Comment: Shot in black and white in the late 80s, this concert is one of the best. Being a big fan of Elvis (well, pretty much everyone from Sun back in the day), I was very excited to see Mr. Roy Orbison get to play with such a great band, The TCB Band. All in all, Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and White Night is a keeper. Check it out on Blu-ray disc to get the best quality audio and video. *****

Summary: Great Music and even Better video of Roy Orbison
Comment: Didn't think I would like to re-watch and listen to Roy Orbison over and over. This Blu-ray disc has been masterfully re-done to improve the resolution (even though in Black and White) to a level that makes one feel as if they are in the same smoke filled room listening and watching this classic performance. These songs are reproduced with much improved clarity in the full range both highs and lows and I remain extremely impressed and fully satisfied. If you like the sounds of Roy Orbison, add this to your Blu-ray collection and enjoy watching him perform (in ultra-sharp video/audio) with his usual style together with other famous music personalities.

Summary: Excellent quality blu-ray DVD
Comment: This unique concert looked great in a PBS broadcast, and is even better in a blu-ray DVD. This isn't one you'll use to show off wide screen HD video because of the nightclub setting and black and white production so there's nothing eye-popping. Nevertheless the production and transfer are immaculate and the sound is pristine. The guest artists are totally inobtrusive, the music and arrangements sound as good as the originals only with far better quality, and there is a total absence of extraneous chatter. It is just pure Orbison, who looks relaxed and pleased throughout. All the great hits are here still sounding fresh, along with that very special tenor you can't mistake for anyone else.
It is an unforgettable moment beautifully captured. This is simply the best concert recording I've ever seen and heard and well worth the purchase.

Presented on Blu-Ray for the first time, a special one-time event documenting one of rock and roll's greatest and most unique performances. Recorded live at the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles, Roy Orbison is joined by an eclectic ensemble of rock and roll superstars. Highlighting this all-star line-up are Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, T-Bone Burnett, J.D. Souther, Jennifer Warnes, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits. Orbison and fellow performers spend a scintillating hour performing many of his greatest hits.
