There will never be another

[@ohncampbell6370]

I am originally from Scotland, I think the people of the UK always appreciated Roy's artistry even more than they did in America. The great voice is a given, but it is the great soul that keeps his music as fresh today as it was 60 years ago. I remember hearing him on Radio Luxembourg in the late 50's and early 60's and I knew he was different and special, even as a child. There was something deep and mysterious about his music, not unlike the great Scots folk song I grew up listening to and singing. Roy tapped into the deep subconscious mind and his music stayed with you. Much later after I moved to the States, I was out fishing in the Bayous of Louisiana. It was with my cousins Mark and Jim and their good friend Robert, a Cajun born and bred. I asked him where we were and he laughed and said " I'm not sure". He checked and said " Oh, we're fishing the Blue Bayou" so matter of factly, it took me a beat to reply...where the catfish play? We had a laugh. Then I broke into song and my rag tag group joined in...I'll never be blue my dreams come true, on Blue Bayou!

THE GOLDEN VOICE OF ALL TIMES🚶‍♂️🎸💙🎶

[@intsccents]

Yeoh nobody not even linda can do the song justice like the original Roy Orbison... L.A Rob

[@johnboy6916]

My wife and I saw Roy Aug 4th 1988 (3 months before he died) at Riverbend Music Center, Cincinnati, OH. Believe it or not, he was opening for Ray Charles. We left when Roy was done. Thinking back on it, that was stupid, but Ray Charles was having a hissy-fit over the sound settings, so we escaped.

[@bevmurphy8630]

He so reminds me of my dad. He absolutely loved him. When dad sang, he sounded like him as well, bitter sweet for me 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@marlenesullivan3113]

[@LinMabe]

Roy is my all time favorite singer. The backup singers were awesome, the best.

[@apenny4urthots]

This is so beautiful as all of Roy's music is. We lose so many of these precious people at an early age and they would have had so much more to give.

[@noitall13]

The prettiest song sung by the prettiest voice! God can't do it it any better!

[@noitall13]

A voice this beautiful will NEVER die

Oh yes !!! This is definitely one of my favourite all-time songs !!! Great performance by Roy and the band !!! Long Live Roy Orbison !!!

Yes

[@TaladarkieJJ]

I believe this is from a concert in Dallas, Texas from '86.. Very good quality. This should be released on DVD.

[@richardbetz5531]

Yup your right. It's available on tape too.

[@jadeshortt723]

Sandra Bervoets it's actually very good quality!

[@johnfarnetijr]

houston.i was there

[@noitall13]

I guess this is the definition of a beautiful voice! God if there is one certainly out did himself with Roy Orbison!

[@abc-wv4in]

I agree except about the "if" part. Of course there is!

[@susanlight8216]

Wonderful unforgettable

[@greg93bmw]

This performance was taped at Rockefellers on Washington Avenue in Houston Texas....I know because I was there. He was having heart issues around that time, and had to rest in his bus between shows. Super guy....I really miss him.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

This must have been right before his death. He left us too soon. I wish I could have been alive back then so I could have met him.

[@jerryj920]

Roy Orbison. 'Nuff said. Beautiful song. Blessings

[@notachance213]

we're have all the greats gone. ......to heaven. .....their still jamming, for the big guy

[@richardbetz5531]

Just ordered the tape for this concert. Seems like a great one too.

[@heavyevybycr1755]

My first encounter, that I know of, with this song was a cover by Linda Rohnstadt in mid to late 70s, Kasey Kasem. Later I found out it was Roy's song. Both very great reditions! But now it has a more special meaning to me as the wife and I spent a year in LA. Came home to the Idaho cold winters, COVID sent us home,, What's wrong with this boy? Now i long to go back to my Blue Bayou

[@frankcalaba8626]

I hope we can all return to our Blue Bayous.

[@michaelmiller9855]

This song has become Linda Ronstadt's signature song, so much so that I hadn't realized it was originally co written by Roy Orbison. Don't know why not, the chords are so quintessentially Roy I don't know how I could have missed it

[@johnsamuel1725]

A great loss to music

[@robsonbelemfernandesbelemf759]

[@katr8756]

Where was this at, and what year?

[@krm3345]

This is live or studio version from 80's?

[@jadeshortt723]

KR Muzykant i believe this mite be a live performance of Blue Bayou...

[@jessyleppert2]

This is 1986

[@hisaw100]

YES______YES-----

[@josfaber3583]

Prachtig

[@rucamapu59]

aunque es exquisita esta interpretación, me quedo con la versión de Linda Ronstadt.

[@DSosa09]

Hes the composer of song, its original.

[@rucamapu59]

i know... i said, for me the Linda Ronstadt's interpretation is better than Orbison.

[@lutslutske7701]

perry como

[@lutslutske7701]

Nelson iturra gonzalez

[@k3biton]

0:22 I hear some audience laughter if I were their place, i will cry

[@rakshitapadmajitweerakkody8350]

To me this performance seems to be influenced by the Linda Ronstadt version. Roy Orbisons original version was quicker and lighter.

[@mikekiefer3915]

Like him. But Linda Ronstadt does it the best.

[@samramos1713]

[@victoriarebolledo98]

Esta version es mucho mejor en la voz de Engelbert Humperdink por lejos sorry.

[@carloscordero6790]

I prefer Linda Ronstadt
