Roy Orbison - Running Scared live

[@SilkeMueller-gn6wt]

He was the greatest and he will be remembered !!! Such a humbled man, so lovely.

[@chesterparks5779]

The one and only Roy Orbison !!!

[@louistomassioni7462]

Roy Orbison is the greatest voice I ever heard!! I'm 77 and I've heard them all. Nobody had such a beautiful and powerful sound. His passion connects to your soul. His song A LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL is the most beautiful and would bring tears to anyone listening. I will never hear anyone that great again!!!

[@susannahleigh26]

I saw him live in the late 60's in New Zealand. Got invited to his concert and being young I was like 'okay' not thinking much of him - to this day I am still enthralled by his presence, talent - he was absolutely amazing.

Can't confirm but I heard Elvis said he would never go on after Roy performed

[@g.wishard8160]

One of the best live performers ever. Orbison never goofed off on stage or mumbled and fumbled his way through a set. He respected his fans and he gave them his best.

[@lindayork8918]

[@Cashcrop54]

Not only did Roy perform at the highest levels he did it while suffering such heartache. His wife was killed in a motorcycle crash and 2 years later 2 of his 3 children died in a house fire while he was on the road. It take an inner strength to go on after that and he more than went on. Thank you Roy!

[@JoLeeR25]

Roy , in an interview stated that (paraphrase) no matter what he did in life he would always be remembered for the tragedies in his life . No matter how happy I am . I have a beautiful wife and 2 young healthy sons . I have love and laughter in my life . Roy died on top .

[@alanshotter2471]

A one off was the big O.... A legend?? Absolutely....

[@frankieb7654]

No need to have lighting effects and backing dancers. He could just stand there and let his unique voice do it all. I cannot imagine how Hollywood has not made a movie of Roy Orbison . Think of the great songs that would feature in the movie.and the story of his life. This would be a possible Oscar winner if they pick the right person to play the part.

[@xtremenortherner]

Finding an actor to portray him is one thing, but how are they EVER going to reproduce that magnificent soprano of his??! They'd have to utilize recordings...,

[@malcolmburns366]

The last concert me and my late wife saw. Elvis called Roy {"the Voice".He did three encores for us that night.

[@eddtoro]

no auto tune, no reverb, no audio effects. just Elvis's favorite singer.

[@daisymaefrench4041]

A performer of this caliber doesn't have to twerk, rub his rear end on people, grab their crotch or jump around acting like a fool. They stand and sing with such talent and heartfelt emotion that they bring up memories from your past, the good memories along with the bad. No everyone has the ability to appreciate their talent. Young people of today listening to garbage like rap with never understand. Too bad.

[@Johnnycdrums]

Agreed.

[@clauderebello5362]

SO SO TRUE!!❤

[@stobbi38]

I agree 100% with what you said about Roy, but you clearly don‘t understand where hip hop came from and how it is deeply relatable to a considerable amount of people. I also agree that it‘s not necessary for a good artist to make a big show out of themselves when they‘re actually musically talented, but that doesn‘t mean that all those who do are talentless fools. You‘d have to agree that Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus are some of the best singers around. They don‘t have to dress or dance like they do to get attention, they just do it anyway. And no matter whether I‘m supportive of that part of the performance, I highly appreciate their singing abilities.

[@lindalee6279]

No one will ever replace Roy or Elvis 6-7-24, love them both & all their music.....

[@johnbullock6337]

I was lucky to have seen Roy in concert 3 times. The last two times at a small venue. He didn't need dancers, laser shows etc, he just stood there and sang. His voice would lift you out of your seat and drop you back down. I saw grown men with tears in their eyes (me included). Roy was the greatest and this is my all time favourite song.

[@kenburke9272]

[@peterwade4029]

JUST THE BEST

[@daniel.holbrook]

One thing I love about Roy is just how.. human he was. I mean, he had the voice of an angel, but we was humble, shy, even nervous, and his life was never really "glamorous." Love coming back to watch and listen to this. Roy was well before my time, but this is the first and only performance I've seen which actually sort of made me feel "there."

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I totally agree. I am only 18, but I love Roy! He was such a good man who lived through too many tragedies. I wish i could have met him.

[@dj8]

another humble, shy, not a glamorous life either, but still touring at 63 years young and writing songs and recording is Chris Isaak and his band Silvertone

[@johnemerson5428]

Vicki Foster Chris is freaking amazing. He and Raul carry on the the magic that Roy gave us. Roy would be proud of both!

[@stanbernard1604]

Roy was only 52 when he passed from a massive heart attack. You never tire of that voice. Unique and special.

[@nealbfinn]

One thing I notice about Orbison's later videos of his early songs. He sings them in the original keys. Many singers lower the keys as their voices age and they are no longer able to make the high notes. Orbison does them all as he originally recorded them....and can still kill it!!

[@nealbfinn]

And I might add he sounds good or better here than the original. The high A he struggled with in 1961 belts right out like he owns it.

For the first couple of minutes this is very good, for the next 30-45 seconds it is great, when he comes back out and sings the ending again it is great ++. Talent on loan from God

[@wozza2942]

He absolutely knocked it out of the park on that second go. I've never heard any other recording of Running Scared where he takes those extra steps up the register. And still so effortless!

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, it always amazes me how a voice of that magnitude came out of his mouth! He barely opens his mouth! He was a soft spoken man, but he had one of the loudest singing voices ever!

[@FernCurtis]

Sarah Kinsey ...I know, right??? My hubby and I have talked about that very thing many times. Normally to get that kind of power behind your voice you have to open your mouth. How did he do it, without opening his mouth??? Don’t have a clue, but wow!!!

[@daveb6132]

I don't think of his voice as loud as much as powerful!

[@markredman581]

In my experience singing Roy Orbison on KZbin it has to do with breathing technique: try it yourself! Sinatra quoted in Nancy Sinatra bio "Daddy and Me" described learning his breathing technique from the brass players in Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra: "sneak quick inhale breaths" at EVERY opportunity to maintain bursting full lungs of air whenever not exhaling to play - or in a vocalists case, to sing - the notes. You may check out my Orbison covers on KZbin channel, Mark Redman. Thank you. God bless you. Wished for a Safe and Happy 2021.

the best vocal range of any singer ever fact!!!!!

[@2X4BBL]

Even Elvis is on record as saying Roy Orbison had the greatest vocal range in the business.... Roy had a 5 octave vocal range...that is very rare...

[@fanfam]

Axl Rose (William Bruce Bailey Rose Jr.) has a vocal range of 6 octaves. People do not misunderstand the term ''vocal range''. Its not about screaming the ''hardest'' and having the most breath in your longs. While the broadest definition of "vocal range" is simply the span from the lowest to the highest note a particular voice can produce, this broad definition is often not what is meant when "vocal range" is discussed in the context of singing. Vocal pedagogists tend to define the vocal range as the total span of "musically useful" pitches that a singer can produce.

there never has been anyone in the known universe, nor will there ever will be, who can do this song like Roy!

[@johng8018]

I saw him at the Granada theatre in Harrow NW London in 1964. Standing still and not saying a word he sang with power and emotion and hit all the high notes in Running Scared. I remember the hairs on the back of my neck rising in response. I saw him again in concert at the London Palladium and Blazers in Windsor and again at the Adelphi Theatre in Hammersmith in 2018 (hologram). I still play his records today and have just downloaded “Wild hearts run out of time” from iTunes. At an Elvis Presley concert in Las Vegas Roy was in the audience and Elvis introduced him as “one of the greatest singers of all time”.

He uplifted so many other artists as well. He took The Beatles on their first tour in Japan, they headlined his concerts. Back then if they were good enough to tour with Roy they were good enough for the world.
