5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Live CD's Ever, June 8, 2006

By	G. P. Kane "Audiophile" (Kew Gardens Hills, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CD came from the 1988 Live HBO Special that was one of the best musical performances to come along in quite awhile. Roy is joined with many musical greats in both vocal & instrumental talents. This CD is the highlight of Roy Orbison's career. If you own this CD, then you must buy the DVD. To see the performance live is a very special treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Night to Remember, September 7, 2006

By	James Ferguson (Vilnius, Lithuania) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is all you need to have of Roy Orbison, a fantastic televised concert that featured Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Bonnie Raitt, among many others. It is very nice to see the CD and DVD released once again. Orbison's voice carried the evening on such immortal songs as Dream Baby, Ooby Dooby and Pretty Woman. At the same time he was doing fantastic work with The Traveling Wilburies. It was a veritable Roy Orbison revival in the late 80's. Unfortunately, he passed away all too quickly and didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of his labor. His voice is one of the quentessential voices of rock and roll, and this is a stunning tribute to the man behind the dark sunglasses.

3.0 out of 5 stars If You Like Live Performances..., April 15, 2008

By	Muffinhead "Marge" (Oregon) - See all my reviews

this may be the CD for you! I watched the special on PBS and bought the CD on the basis of that. For me, the video version was better than the CD version. I found myself wanting to hear the original or album version, rather than live songs. However, many will be attracted to the mystique of having legendary music greats such as Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, and others as the back-up band on this CD.
