Roy Orbison - "Uptown" from Black and White Night

Roy Orbison and this all-star cast of friends (Bruce Springsteen, k.d. lang, Elvis Costello and more) perform Roy's "Uptown," recorded on the Monument Records label. This video is from "A Black and White Night," available on Blu-Ray and DVD at RoyOrbison.com!

[@redbarnz]

And despite Roy's fame, he was so generous to encourage Springsteen up to the mike and sing with him on several songs. Great person, great musician!

[@theacechip]

Bruce Springsteen is a musician first. Good musicians keep their work ahead of their egos.

[@lobo6111]

The backing band is TCB, Elvis's band from 69-77..James Burton Guitar, Ronnie Tutt Drums, Glen Hardin Keys, Jerry Scheff bass.

[@connedillon8136]

It's so easy to see that these pros are doing what they enjoy - making incredible music. How lucky we are all to have this video to remember Roy's unbelievable talent....

[@gabypalm100]

Happy Birthday to Roy! I never get tired of listening to him. Greatest Live Concert ever! Roy To The World!

[@cunard61]

Unbelievable amount of talent playing and singing on the stage. It's like the band of the century.

[@esukdg]

that guitar solo was perfect

[@franciscoramirez5088]

Roy Orbison Extraordinary voice, musicians. Perfect!🙏

[@jackrussell13]

Springsteen singing harmonies with Roy..Way cool,friends..

[@ptalley47eh]

I was just thinking how amazing it is to see the admiration for Roy in Bruce's eyes. They looked like they were having a ball singing and playing together. The whole night must have been amazing. Roy Orbison is my favourite singer. I wish I could have been there!

[@trentlowrey4432]

And Costello :)

[@leeneelulu]

Tom Waits on the piano, Elvis on the harmonica and The Boss singing with Roy. Doesn't get any better!

[@ox8833]

Amen to that!

[@JanetH.215]

This is how it gets better...Roy, George, Tom, Bob, and Jeff in Traveling Wilburys kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6CXpGSBi6-UjKM

[@kozyscyclery4241]

Ronald Koziel I am 76. Roy Orbison is a giant part of my life. He is the GREATIST EVER. I play him super loud and Brain and body feeling great.

[@miltonwilliams168]

You can tell from the expressions on this all star band how honored and happy they were being on stage with the Legendary Icon That Roy Orbison was. And I have to agree with Elvis Roy Orbison had the greatest voice in Rock&Roll. Such a terrible tragedy we lost Roy at such a young age.

[@Lizzie1550]

+Milton Williams I commented on another page how there 's a stage full of top notch performers here, but there doesn't seem to be a bit of ego! Of course, Orbison was a humble man, and your comment , Milton Williams is right on. My opinion: I don't think you couldn get a stage filled with some of the singers of today. I'm afraid they'd be trying to outshine each other. I think the person, not necessarily the icon, initially set the stage for a harmonious performance.

[@miltonwilliams168]

+Mary Hill Well Mary you're right, to list all the great performers who joined Roy that night would take up to much time and space. They were paying tribute to Roy by being on stage with him. I believe they felt privileged to be performing with one of Rock & Rolls true Icons and Legends. How sad it was that we lost him at such an early age.

[@jackierave]

What a fine description you made of Roy.. so cool to watch all these fine performers with him and how in awe they were and how much fun everyone was having.. Great night !!

[@billdean5546]

whew!

[@TaladarkieJJ]

Everyone was having a good time. The Band, the audience and Roy :) It makes for a great performance :)

[@davidhenrywall8619]

Great song great singer royorbison was one of the best, this is a great concert.

[@almacarthur4053]

This is just the best band ever put together! And the backup singers are all headliners! They should be out front!

[@elseMa5194]

Supercool tune, supercool muscians ! 💎 Legendary R.Orbinson

[@patty772200]

Black and White Night makes me smile until it hurts! Such joy on ALL the great musicians faces is amazing!

[@ronaldgoebel2174]

They were having so much fun it is unreal! I am a musician and have played gigs like this where you are singing with someone you never thought would be and it is fun for sure!

[@gimenaaiello361]

I am glad that i came here! My God how people can be sad? With this music is imposible to be other thing than HAPPY!! thank u roy for the music!!

[@HanyouDeezNutz96]

My Favorite Roy Song.

[@HermanEindhoven]

[@danielquincy6089]

[@charlesgiordano6748]

I never get tired of listening to this fantastic album. It's brings back all of my thoughts back in the years when music was really great to listen to. What a group of professionals on that Album. Roy is really missed in my world.

[@laurinnnn]

OMG!! I'm having a Black and White Night. Does it get any better? What a sweet and adorable man was he? Wish I could have been there to enjoy it in person. Takes my breath away just to watch it. WOWEEEE! The band, the back up singers (love k.d.lang. best singer of our times) the drummer blew me away. Thanks for posting RoyOrbison ;) I know you're up there with the angels. Do some more channeling through k.d. She did you proud on the tribute show. We want to hear k.d. do pretty woman.

[@lindsaycooper9400]

Love the way this has been slowed down from the original version which shows how versatile Roy's songs were and how he sings them with different nuances. Always surprising, always sensational...

[@CptMickey1]

Now he really is getting that very special sound only Orbison had. Great tune.

[@mariagawecka3807]

[@timhilton4670]

The backing band was the TCB Band, which was Elvis' band from 1969 until his death in 1977: Glen D. Hardin on piano, James Burton on lead guitar, Jerry Scheff on bass, and Ronnie Tutt on drums.

[@Razorzzful]

This performance a classic for sure..

[@taczylotaczylo9495]

Thank you for sharing. I love him so much forever, forever and ever.

[@richardbetz5531]

Bruce is the boss, Roy is the owner.

[@jessiejames7492]

[@Norma2444]

[@karlfisher1864]

Mr Burton is the Wizard

[@jessiejames7492]

[@user-np4on4ll4c]

Wow how good is the bloke on the harmonica the best by far

[@karlfisher1864]

Elvis steps up on the Harmonica, guitar and organ. Cool. There is enough talent on this album to make five bands. They came to honor Roy! Excellent. Karl

[@user-yk1xy3wf2y]

Roy is way better than Elvis. Roy can play guitar and write music Elvis can’t.😂

[@wandamorel578]

I love it, these men lives throuth their music, a very good moment. This change my mind and make me dream dance and feel happy.

[@garysnow1475]
