Roy Orbison and Friends (A Black & White Night) 1987 – Blue Bayou
This concert was taped in black and white and featured many of Orbison’s hits at the Ambassador Hotel’s Coconut Grove nightclub in Los Angeles. It was taped on September 30, 1987, approximately a year before his death on December 6, 1988. It was originally broadcast on January 3, 1988 on the premium cable channel HBO (Home Box Office).
According to Wikipedia…
It was put together by musical director T-Bone Burnett. Orbison was accompanied by a supporting backing band which included many notable musical performers. All were fans who volunteered to participate in the special. Other celebrity admirers of Orbison were in the audience, including Billy Idol, Sandra Bernhard, and Kris Kristofferson. The backing band was the TCB Band, which accompanied Elvis Presley from 1969 until his death in 1977. The band included Glen D. Hardin on piano, James Burton on lead guitar, Jerry Scheff on bass, and Ronnie Tutt on drums. Male background vocalists, some of whom also joined in on guitar, were Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, and Steven Soles. The female background vocalists were K.D. Lang, Jennifer Warnes, and Bonnie Raitt.

Arguably the last truly great album from the Byrds, this was a double vinyl set when it appeared in 1970. The 16-minute “Eight Miles High” took up an entire side–allowing for plenty of the free-flowing guitar, bass, and drum solos that were in vogue at the time. The live portion of the program opens with a gritty “Lover of the Bayou” and an inspired take on Bob Dylan’s “Positively 4th Street.” The studio set centers around the group’s biggest latter-day hit, “Chestnut Mare,” as well as Roger McGuinn’s haunting “Just a Season.” Here, Untitled is supplemented by Unissued, a whole bonus disc of rare and unreleased material. There are storming concert versions of Dylan’s “You Ain’t Going Nowhere,” “My Back Pages,” and “This Wheel’s on Fire.” Studio highlights include “Lover of the Bayou” and an undubbed “Kathleen’s Song.”
