Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman (Black & White Night 30)

[@StratocastRS]

James Burton. Absolute legend. May you live a hundred years.

[@Dangman-s8i]

When you got talent-you don't need dancers, you don't need fancy laser shows or stage props. You just get up there and sing. No one can sing like Roy Orbison. I see Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, JD Souther, Jackson Brown, Chet Atkins on guitar on the stage with him. And everyone up there knows they wish they could sing like Roy Orbison. They wouldn't play backup to anyone else.

[@jalind1]

Not Chet Atkins -- it's James Burton who was Elvis Presley's lead guitarist in the TCB (Elvis's band) -- a spectacularly talented guitarist. And you're right about singing like Orbison. Roy had an operatic voice that spanned octaves. Right up until the day he died. Plus they wish they could write songs like Orbison. Roy was more prolific as a song writer than he was as a performer as hard as that may be to conceive given his performances.

[@ondizix]

Esti un prost!

[@tonytrotta9322]

James Burton - the master of the guitar. I saw him live in 1972 with Elvis - Hilton - Las Vegas. The best concert ever! Bruce seems to do a lot of facial expressions and kicking with no output. Can not compare Bruce to James Burton. Thanks! for your video.

[@rickbaptist4]

You noticed that too huh

[@jalind1]

James Burton rips out the licks effortlessly. While Springsteen puts on a good show with his body and he can jam with them, it is Burton who really puts on a guitar show. It's with grace that Springsteen lifts up his empty hands to Burton at the end of the jamming and acknowledges just how good Burton is.

[@mikekaup5252]

I noticed Tom Waits on the organ. There are more stars playing during this show than any other I have seen.

[@mattcollier5957]

Loved the way the Master gave Bruce Springsteen the nod after James Burton (Elvis Presleys Guitarist) to d do his lead bit, Elvis Costello strumming away

[@tomuscle1]

Roy just simply sends you into another world. His world ❤

[@killbot_factory]

I had this DVD, I remember in the credits Bruce Springsteen saying something like, "I'm singing with Roy Orbison and playing guitar with James Burton, this is a dream come true!" class act

[@alisonbaker1578]

Such an incredible performance! The guitar solos.....SUBLIME and the TALENT! This never gets tired. It's a joy to watch every single time. The great joy and pleasure they all get playing together is palpable.

[@barryforbes7563]

Roy Orbison, the best ever! My wife and I saw him in concert twice in Phoenix. He stepped onto the stage and simply blew us away. Thank you, Roy -RIP.

[@snuserdigg]

lucky♥️ wish i could see him, but im "only" 35 years old 🙂

[@mikekaup5252]

Roy gave us so much and lost more than any other performer. A kind gentle soul.

[@creuzabarros2859]

Roy,inesquecível. Sempre estará em minha memória.

[@daveb6132]

This battle between Burton and Springsteen is almost a guitar "Devil Went Down to Georgia." Hand it over Bruce!

[@jalind1]

Much to his credit, Springsteen lifts his hands with grace at the end of the dueling guitars in acknowledgement of Burton's effortless virtuoso performance. There's a reason Burton was Elvis's lead guitarist with the TCB for so many years.

[@wozza2942]

I love watching Roy watching James Burton and the Boss trading licks. He's having the time of his life. If I could have one spin in a time machine, just one, I think I'd want to use it to attend this gig.

[@juantristan6160]

Those guys were having to much fun...talent all over the place....Roy was the man!!!

[@cynthiam3943]

Exactly, James Burton is such a brilliant guitarist, can you imagine being on stage with Roy, Bruce, Elvis and KD plus Glen Hardin on keyboards, I think a lot of the band were Elvis Presley’s band! I’m envious I wish I could have been there😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏😘🇬🇧

[@cynthiam3943]

P.s. I first saw Roy live back in 1963 over here in the UK with a broken ankle!😘

[@Chris-nu5ib]

He wrote this about his wife. What a talented singer.

[@lisasuzseals3583]

Wow😮

[@anandrammoon]

All these stars jamming with guitar make this songs so special.

[@christopherkraft1327]

Roy Orbison was second to none!!!

[@alextakacs768]

This one by far the best version of Pretty Woman, plenty of help from good old friends!!

[@landischorsch]

This version won Roy Orbison a Grammy Award for "Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male" for 1990.

[@kevinvaisey3395]

Superb, just try to emulate the man every day...no match to the big "0 " man👍

[@kevinvaisey3395]

Did love crying over you with k.d. lang...angelic! Cried too...big softie X to all.

[@melliott333]

And they are all having a good time. Musicians! gotta love 'em.

[@robertvanderclock2657]

This "Oh Pretty Woman" has had me in tears.....an incredible talent array, (some of Elvis'TCB Band included) with the one and only Roy..... and a jam for the ages.....wow. I never saw this until 2005 when a dear friend sent me "B & W Night" on videotape...and the entire concert and this especially, mesmerized me.

[@louistomassioni7462]

His voice will last centuries and even then he will be known as perfect!

[@carolinacacicedo6358]

WoW! Beautiful guitar play! ❤

[@a.st.316]

What a voice - wow. Beautiful masterpiece of music 🎵

[@HermanEindhoven]

All time classic...Roy was kind gentle and the best singer ever......

[@frankgarcia3269]

Roy Orbison, The best I have ever heard! No One Can Compare!

[@gieneksybirak1107]

Mistrz nad mistrze roy byłeś i jesteś największy tak jak monte everest;spoczywaj w pokoju drugiego takiego już niebedzie byłeś ijestes nieśmiertelny dziękuje ze byłeś i żyłeś na tym świecie w srod nas maluczkich

[@grossac54]

super tube pour l'éternité merci Mr Orbison . 😍😍✌✌🎼🎼

[@felicityrainnie]

This one’s great ! He looks very happy too !! What a voice !!

[@karintietjen3480]

Karinsland in Hamburg "Pretty Woman" is particularly cozy and exciting with the great guitar solos by Roy Orbison, James Burton, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and J.D. Souther: They play fascinating and moving. A sensational live concert, the musical performance is moving!

[@gerardourbinacosio3995]

"Oh, pretty woman" by Roy Orbinson is a beautiful song as well as a time les tune.

[@normasmith937]

Look at the way Bruce looks his way in all the tracks, he idolised him. ❤️❤️

[@alainrawelet1813]

je voudrai que les solos de guitares électriques ne s'arrêtent jamais, je suis comme en transe c'est fantastique a couper le souffle, merci a vous quatre.

[@gerardbombardier8049]

Roy Orbison merci pour cette prety superbe chanson qui est toujours au top de l'affiche je vous souhaite une bonne semaine amitiés Gérard 👣🎵🤳🎹🎼👍🥃

[@QuicknStraight]

What a great version

[@actuallytom]

Is that Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen singing backup to Roy Orbison at 1:16?? Please say it is so!! It must have been amazing for Bruce, knowing how much he admired Roy

[@TrungNguyen-ln4to]

Yes it was him, such legends!

[@mightyblueslover57]

I nearly wet myself with laughter every time I look at Bruce in this , you can see Roy's mind thinking what the heck is he on.

[@mudgebauer]

looks like elvis costello on the right too.

[@RAL2010]

@@mudgebauer Yes! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Orbison_and_Friends:_A_Black_and_White_Night

[@chaddavies589]

Yup. Springsteen, kd lang, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne ... it's a great lineup to show how much influence Roy Orbison had on music.

[@oceanblues3920]

Lots of familiar faces . Black and white night was pretty cool 😎🎶🎸

[@kennethcurtis1856]

'Play it James' Burton playing the guitar makes it look sooop smooth.

[@chantaltaille7391]

Serious Music an serious Musicians make a great deal.

[@dmmchugh3714]

'CALIFORNIA BLUE' is my favorite Orbison song - his best song totally IMHO. Did they include that song in this concert?

[@alexandrepereira3038]

They didnt

[@wozza2942]

California Blue was recorded the following year for the Mystery Girl album.

[@thaddeusfields4360]

I’ve always loved how James Burton calmly destroys Bruce Springsteen but they all smile and have a great time. Fun music for sure.

Lots of "pickers" involved here,.....but only one with the talent that his music will be remembered forever. RIP Roy Orbison, and thank you.

[@FLAME4564]

im sure by now hes continuing this level of Rock n roll with the hevens Angels up there in Heven along with the other levels of talent that have passed away such as Elvis.

[@ronmeidlinger249]

Burton is just as good of a picker as RO imho

[@thaddeusfields4360]

Roy didn’t do much picking. He mostly played rhythm. Here, James Burton smokes up the Telecaster. And Bruce Springsteen tries to hang.

[@Usercantwelve]

He was Special 🎸🏆
