Roy Orbison - Crying live

[@BillieSpencer-j9q]

Nobody like him I love him

[@austinteutsch]

I saw Roy Orbison in 1988 four months before his death. It was on Auditorium Shores in Austin, Texas. There was 15 thousand people there. It was HOT August night but he simply tore the house down! I mean I never heard anyone like that. When he hit those high notes, my friend and I just looked at each in amazement. it was a life changing experience.

[@Artem_Shipov]

Life changing. Same.

[@Koza480]

No one has yet come along to replace him!

[@BillyJango]

What a great man. I have no idea how he coped with the tragedy that happened in his life. Great voice and a great human being RIP.

[@loganscott2299]

I've always thought that the tragedies gave him the emotions needed for his songs

[@davidmorley1606]

My mom was at his last concert

[@donniev8181]

God is how he coped.

[@GUNSHIPFLEX]

I guess I could look it up but I’ll ask. What happened? Maybe an answer will help someone else with the same question.

[@SUKITA264]

Roy Orbison usou as adversidades da vida pra colocar mais emoção em suas músicas. Talento, Força e Deus deram forças ao Big O.

[@may151960]

Roy Orbison's voice . . . . words cannot express the wonder of it. I have heard or listened to many great singers in my life. There is only ONE Roy Orbison.

[@gillrich7484]

may151960 oh yes

[@alicjaniewiarowska1669]

Love his music in 2020🎤👌💕👏👏👏

[@jenniferwells9032]

Agreed ❤️

[@michaelar.1912]

Yes, his voice is unique and brilliant. 💜

[@Koza480]

There will never be another Roy!

[@tiffanyking2200]

Roy should have billions of views, his voice was absolutely perfect and beautiful. We thank and love you Roy!

[@booboo165able]

There's absolutely no doubt that Roy Orbison was one of the greatest singers/performers in the history of Rock & Roll. His magical voice could not be compared to any other singer in Rock & Roll history. It was such a tragic loss that we lost him at such a young age. A true genius in Rock & Roll history.

[@mirandac8712]

To say this guy is one of the greatest voices in rock and roll is totally absurd. His is one of the greatest voices of the century, any genre.

[@timteevin4517]

You need to own A Black & White Night DVD. A good sound system helps. It never fails to make me smile.

[@JerkMorrison]

Why this doesn't have 79 million views is beyond me.

[@drumsport]

Vocal Chords touched by The Hand of God.

[@robertedwards5184]

Give Roy the Standing Ovation he richly deserves. He was Unique. Superstar. 😇

[@thomaskallmyr]

He Still Have The Best Voice Ever,Even If he is not living in Present Time. ❤ESCARGENCY ❤

[@maryrawson4324]

We all loved Roy Orbison in the 60's, can you imagine dancing with someone you love to this...

[@joenewbie4793]

I can and have.

[@TCBElvisAPresley]

Holy god. That's an amazing version, my eyes misted up--thinking about how we lost Elvis & Roy way too soon, Both were jaw-dropping talents, And both were genuinely decent, kind, and generous people as well.

[@ezragonzalez8936]

Both Elvis And Roy had Similar Vocal Timbre and Range just different singing technique Roy's Falsetto was fabulous But Elvis was the hunk of hunks and the greatest performer we will probably ever see again at least in our life time ..

[@jameswrigley7817]

wow, this man's voice is something else!

[@fayehazel1986]

Simply other-wordly

[@thomasquinnsr7102]

I absolutely loved the songs of Roy Orbison and the way he sings sends goosebumps on my arms!!!

[@Artem_Shipov]

I was 2 y.o. back then. Thanks God television was created to store these precious moments. Cheers from Russia ✌️

[@gravelandgrain100]

Many years ago someone told me you can't sing the blues, til you have had them...Roy was pure magic-and he had a really tough life-with sadness and heartache...we just got the best part of that left to us.

[@darkknight17]

Fuck this song is so great, they don't do music like that any more. Sad times.

[@drumsport]

Just now reading Roy's biography and the road was long and hard to stardom. RIP Sir.

[@AndySalinger33]

Good Lord, this is the voice of an angel. Roy was truly one of a kind. I challenge any “singer” today to top this. Roy makes me excited for Heaven.

[@donniev8181]

Amen

[@jenniferwells9032]

I love Roy’s voice so much❤️

[@sarahgreen8729]

Me to it's just magic

[@joenewbie4793]

I was lucky enough to meet him backstage, what a man, what a voice what a life. God blessed him. Still listening to 2019

[@Cashcrop54]

What an incredible voice! And he makes it look like he's barely trying! He is the one and only!

[@SP330Y]

WOW - HOW IS HE THAT GOOD? - I KNOW HE IS BUT I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW HE DOES IT - SO MUCH PASSION

[@GUNSHIPFLEX]

One of a kind. Quiet, unassuming man with such a booming, iconic voice. Roy was one of a kind, even Elvis said Roy had the best voice he’s ever heard.

[@dustybeers]

I would have given everything I own to have that memory. You are a lucky person, indeed. Although I do remember seeing it on TV in 82. That's when Roy instantly became my #1 for all time. Incredible is all I can say about the man. I was a budding teenager at the time, and all that teenage angst w/girls and the like - Roy sounded as if he knew exactly what I was feeling at times. Only the Lonely, Crying, In Dreams, etc. Really helped me through. Thanks with all my heart, Roy!

[@lancairw867]

Elvis said that Roy was his favorites singer 👍🏻

[@Timliu92]

Roy Orbison = the Caruso of rock singing. So much finesse and elegance in the way he sings those powerful high notes, without any sign of brute force whatsoever.

[@lindalee6279]

gosh I would of loved to be there. Roy is one of the few Greatest singers/ song writers ever.still today 10-21-22 .......RIP Roy such a beautiful soft voice....

[@babablowfish]

Thanks for posting this. I remember seeing this back in 1982. It was an amazing performance then and is all the more amazing today given the sorry state that popular music has fallen into. Ah, for the good old days when songs had melodies and the lyrics actually expressed real emotions.

[@angelacrane9495]

In aww....u can hear the "cry" in his voice. Well done sir....RIP!

[@cyric28]

I'm watching this at 32 years old, my folks introduced me to Roy when I was 4 years old, I still remember the majority of the songs!

[@frankcurry6891]

The Greatest Pop Singer of All Time.

[@dustybeers]

You are right. I was a huge fan. Still am. I used to have an article (magazine of some sort) from not long before he passed, and admitted he still smoked, even though he knew his wife Barbara didn't allow it. It was funny because the interviewer was asking him about losing weight and looking better than he had in years, and if quitting smoking was one of the habits he kicked. He said he just exercised more, and ate a bit differently. In my book, YOU 'DA MAN, ROY! FOREVER THE BIG "O"

[@janaronson1736]

I HAVE ALL HIS RECORDS...WONDERFUL!

[@genecasey3130]

Roy, despite his cigarette smoking (which certainly contributed to his demise) took care of his voice and was able to hit his crescendo notes as well, if not better, at age 50+ than on his hit records. Just as impressive as his pseudo-operatic voice is his falsetto voice (at 1:49) which gets difficult to maintain as a singer ages.

[@mechanicalmanny494]

Nobody will ever come close to that MAN vocal range on one note and not come up for air , Elvis bow your head . Yes I know Elvis is the greatest but you cannot put these guys together

[@barbarawilson5685]

I grew up listening to his music will always be timess,such an amazing voice

[@geravijge71]

That voice makes me cry ........love everything from him. Great song :-)

[@CosmicStargoat]

Yep, and the kids today just give me a blank stare when I ask them if they have listened to any of his music. It's a shame, but it can't be denied that Orbison was one of the greatest, if not the greatest male vocalists ever. His peers knew it.

[@mikeypee2365]

I never understood how Elvis was more popular. Orbison=GOAT

[@turkey55able]

It's the passion in Roy's voice when he sings!! Awesome!!! Roy also did an encore & the audience gave 2 standing ovations!! Roy Orbison Rules the Universe!! Both he & his music are timeless!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidhenrywall8619]

He was a legend a great song great singer one of the best roy orbison never to be forgotten..

[@wiseal4827]

It is wonderful to see a performer so talented that no electronic manipulations are necessary to make them sound good. Roy's falsetto is flawless, it is difficult to hear the "switch". The closest artist I know is J. D. Souther.

[@mobeck]

friggin' unbelievable voice

[@chriskinkead9045]

He. Surely. Was. A. Great. Singer. Have. Enjoyed. His. Songs. For. Many. Years. Always. Will.

[@marcus96gmail]

I agree with the other post. This is the best version of this song I've ever heard !

[@thomasanthony5306]

that voice!!!!

[@cuatrojinetes]

Wink, TX baby!

[@ThrustusSimmonds]

Well, gosh. Stand back in awe. Unreal. The Great Man was certainly in fine form in this 1982 performance. Same gig had incredible version of Only The Lonely.

[@veravopelkova5168]

Nádherné děkuji ČR

[@deathlibrarian]

The big O... one of the greatest voices of all music

[@coyotesong]

What a spectacular performance!!!! I spent a lot of time in Austin in the early 80s but missed this ACL. What I'd give to go back in time so I could be there. Simply superb.

[@rhondaz356]

Roy was such a grest singer and song writer. He suffered so many tragedies in his way too brief time here.

[@paulmasterson8814]

This man was nothing but a legend in the world of music up until the day he passed away. R. I. P. MY FRIEND.

[@davidhenrywall8619]

Great singer a legend

[@clairettedebarsy]

Personne ne chante aussi bien que lui

[@marjimartin5787]

What a loss still after all this time - will always be rembered!!

[@tomhogue3921]

Greatness

[@AdeBamforth]

A masterwork in song construction... the way it keeps extending the verses with new parts, playing with different rhyming patterns, using different pitches, all gradually building to a crescendo... yet it sounds so simple, and with such a basic sentiment. 'I love you even more than I did before" is just devastating.

[@lindsaycooper9400]

This concert would have been the experience of a lifetime

[@michaelsmlth8754]

what a great musician! Sadly missed.

[@joecelozzi305]

Elvis called him the greatest voice
