Roy's voice can only be described as angelic. Even the Beatles could not comprehend the quality of his tallent! As magnificent as the Beatles were, they bowed to Roy. I am so blessed to be a drummer during the 60's and beyond, to experience all the tallent. But Orbinson is the best of all of us, in the decades of his life. Acknoledged by all to be the greatest of all time!
The world lost one of the smoothest voices ever! "Crying" will blow your mind...
When you can get Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, kd lang etc to sing backup and harmony, backed by a world class band, it must be heartwarming. To have that caliber of talent there just to acknowledge the inspiration and joy you've provided them and the rest of the world for that matter over the years must be an honor that very few receive.
There are more videos from this show online as well as the entire concert. Just search on RUclips "Roy Orbison black and white night".
@JeffGes I think bwilson5401 is referring to the fact that the Beatles used to open for Roy... Once they got more popular, Roy agreed to share the top billing, and to let them close the show...
I once heard a story where a European crowd wouldn't let Roy leave the stage after a performance, leaving the Beetles to sit and wait for their turn... After 4-5 encore songs, two of the Beetles, I believe it was John and Paul, took Roy by each arm and (Jokingly) said "Yankee, Go Home"... The crowd was solidly for Roy, but the Beetles did just fine when they got to the stage, regardless...
@@RichardDickson-to7zg and your regular touring band is people like Jeff Lynne and a beetle in several other people that just want to clamor to be near you you know you're like royalty when it comes to music. Think of it was even Elvis thought he had the voice of an Angel 👍❤️ and who am I to argue with the King 😆❤ 👑
@@js3599 Actually it was 14 encores. Unbelievable!
Try Running Scared...my fav
You need to hear CLASSIC Roy Orbison!! Crying, Running Scared, and it's Over the original studio versions! You will be blown away!!
Thank you 😊 surely will
This was an amazing concert ... so much star power on the stage, and they all graciously took a back seat to the legendary Roy Orbison.
I saw him in England on base he was doing a concert. He would not meet with people afterwards which was sad. His voice was incredible.
Roy Orbison had one of the most smooth powerful voices. He could sing real high falsetto & also low. Elvis Presley loved Roy's voice. Roy was known for performing while standing motionless & wearing black clothes to match his dyed black hair & dark sunglasses. Roy had lots of hits in the 60's such as "Running Scared", "Crying", "In Dreams", "Love Hurts", "Blue Bayou", "Leah" etc. In 1988, he co-founded the rock supergroup "Traveling Wilburys" with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, & Jeff Lynne.
I saw him in Seattle about two months before he passed away. As everyone said, he still had those "golden pipes".
Oh wow!
@@SarahDengler
And to think he recorded his original hit version of that song back in 1960’
Roy later joined with George Harrison (formerly a Beatle), the great Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne (creative genius of Electric Light Orchestra) and Tom Petty to make up the band called The Traveling Wilburys. Their song "Handle With Care" features Roy singing the lyrics "Im so tired of being lonely", which is a nice nod back to this classic!!
there are a lot of reactions out there but no one is even close to mrs. sarah, as I found out not long ago 😊 really a special person with an excellent musical understanding
You outdid yourself on this one Sarah! Lol. Backup superstar singers galore. Ha ha
😅
My God! Roy had such a gorgeous voice. Great range!! 😅
Right?!
Appreciate your reactions. Seeing the younger crowds get off on this era is cool.
Little Remembered fact: The Beatles toured with Roy Orbison in 1963 in the UK. Although the Beatles were big in the UK they were not yet worldwide known. Roy was a BIGGER name at the time. The Roy Orbison/The Beatles Tour was a 1963 concert tour of the United Kingdom by Roy Orbison and the Beatles. Other acts on the tour included Gerry and the Pacemakers, who followed the Beatles across the pond to the USA in 1964. The Beatles were thrilled to death to tour with one of their idols. In fall 1964 Roy released one of his biggest songs, Oh Pretty Woman..it was different, had a Beatles kind of guitar riff ..if you listen to Beatles songs like Hold Me Tight and I Call Your Name, or I Saw her standing there [the bass part] you will hear a very similar riff to Oh Pretty Women's guitar riff. Another song was the Hippy Hippy Shake by the Swinging Blue Jeans, same style. Roy borrowed a Beatles style and made Oh Pretty woman a huge hit still remembered today, in the midst of Beatles dominance on the charts, not an easy thing to do...
Roy was one of the greatest voices of all time. And the list of his friends on this evening were a who's who in rock music -- Jackson Browne, Bonnie Rait, K D Lang, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and Jennifer Warnes to name a few. Thanks for the great reaction!
What a joy it is to watch someone encounter Roy Orbison for the first time!
Not merely one of the great American singers but - despite his own relative humility - one of the great pop singers of the twentieth century. I am not kidding around.
Roy Orbison’s voice is out of this world. Elvis declared that he had the most beautiful voice ever. ❤❤
The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Beach Boys all looked up to Roy and saw him as major competition. Touring with the Beatles in 1963 they wondered how they could follow him up as he received encore after encore.
Early 60's reporter aske Elvis what it was like having the greatest voice in the business. He answered "I don't know, ask Roy".
Elvis replied “you should ask Roy Orbison that same question”.
Sarah, you just witnessed and heard arguably the greatest voice in rock! This had to be one of the most amazing performances ever! The star power on that stage is eye opening! Love your reaction!!
Thank you ☺️
He was in the Traveling Wilburys for a short time before he passed, he was really big in the 60s.
He is one of the all time greats👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🎁🎁
Although I love this concert, his voice is even stronger, and more powerful & beautiful in his original songs from his younger days. Those, I can listen to for hours.
I had the great honor to see Roy Orbison in concert in 1986, he was simply amazing!
Your fun to watch.Lots of stars in this show.You should watch it all
Roy is someone who will always be in my heart. His songs occupy a warm place in my heart and each one brings back memories for me. He is a big part of the soundtrack of my life.
Thanks for playong 2x. Roy has pne pf the best goices of the centiry. It makes me cry everytine he sings this dong. Glad you understand the significance of Roy
I totally love your reaction to this song.❤
Elvis Presley mentioned that Roy Orbison had the best voice that he has ever heard! Checkout Roy singing Blue Bayou it’s amazing, great reaction thanks 🙏
I remember sleeping out on our lawn in N.Ca up the mountains, when I was about 12, and my foster sister on the lawn too, listening to this with our transistors radios.
Yep ! Roy Orbison , one of the best . black and white nights ...a great concert. RIP ROY !!!
He had the best voice in R'NR (IMO) RIP Roy. He had close to three octaves in his singing vocals.
Actually he had a four octave range.
@@jhaninger WOW!, is the only thing that describes that man.
I watched your reaction when you first posted this, I had to could back and watch you again. Such a beautiful response to this beautiful masterpiece.
Roy had a unique voice. He could sing 4 or 5 octaves - probably no one else is capable of. Watch the Travelling Wilburys. His contribution was integral. When they formed, they were a collective of the greatest musicians and they all agreed that if Roy didn’t join was it worth it.
6 Years ago, my dog and I travelled the country from the west coast. I decided to visit Sun Records in Memphis, largely because I had been a big Elvis fan. At the studio, I was overcome by records of Roy Orbison made at that small studio. I stood on the wood floor, marked by an "X" where he had stood while recording, while his songs were played over the crowd. Such a warm, heartfelt moment of greatness. If you love great music, make sure you visit. Much better than Graceland.
Roy Orbison liked for 52 years (1936-1988) His voice was amazingly at the same clear tone for all his career. This concert, filmed near his death had many musical friends in his band, and singing backup - check out who was playing with Roy. One of the great vocalists!
One of the world greatest voices,God given talent..
I remember this song on the radio when I was a kid. Timeless!
One of the greatest concert videos. The fun games is naming audience members
Yes, this song is the ultimate showcase of Mr. Orbiso's vocal talents. "You're Not Lonely Anymore" is a close second.followed by "Mystery Girl" and "Leia" . Check 'em out.
Last time we saw him alive, Sarah..I'm gonna buy thus concert DVD--although I'm a soul/jazz music fan, it's just too good of a performance. ( I also recognized guitarist Scotty Moore among the all-star band members, who played for Elvis his entire career) Great reaction and weekend to you!
I remember when this was used for PBS fundraising. The female backers were Bonnie Raitt, K.D. Lang and I think Jennifer Warren. Tom Petty, Jackson Brown, Elvis Costelo, The Boss and Other were there.
I think this
performance was filmed in 1987 and he passed in 1988. Heart attack i believe. Many big names on that stage. Good reaction. we all love you...
you should take a look at this "Black And White Night" concert and also see who his support group are
The whole concert should be required viewing by any reactor worth their salt.
This is the music that was woven into the teen-age years of my life. Thank you dear Sarah for all the joy you've brought to me from this channel!
"Crying" really displays Roy's vocal range. Also, he was one of The Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and ELO's Jeff Lynne. He was a great artist who left us too soon.
Many people consider Roy the greatest voice ever. Check out his Crying, Blue Bayou, Pretty Woman. And for real fun, check out The Traveling Wilbury's a little side project Roy did with some friends. Grin. (This will shock you.) He had much tragedy in his life, but most everyone describes him as "the nicest guy you'll ever meet".
Glad your enjoying this. I love his voice myself
You Got It is my all time favorite by Roy. ❤
They did the show in black and white on purpose - the countless celebrities in this show are masters in music invited to be part of the show. Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, J.D. Souther and Jennifer Warnes.
This was the first song I ever heard by sung by Roy Orbison, hooked straight away, I also recommend Running Scared by him.
You are now listening to the greatest voice of all time ❤❤❤❤ The big O
when I was a kid, I wasn't sure he was real. Maybe a made person like the Monkey's or the Patrich family.
As I got in my teens , I was blown away. Even though I ventured in Heavy Metal...I always loved the classices and rejoiced at the Travelling Wilbury's. In the days I was in a rush to prove how old I was. Thanks for this!
Roy had a hauntingly beautiful voice. Crushing heartfelt songs. I grew up hearing this on the radio. "Dreams" is another classic.
Sarah, for claiming to be speechless, I thought you said a lot. So much so, you had to experience it twice and even then I felt you had more to say but, your emotions, understandably, overpowered your control of speech, and left all on your sleeve.
You had this old man joyfully weeping with you!!
Thank you, Sarah for this and all your other honest reactions.
Dream Baby and Mystery Girl are personal favorites of this Roy Orbison fan.
Sarah, if you like Roy Orbison's style of music I suggest you also check out a couple of songs that were done as an ode to Roy's style.
J D Souther - You're Only Lonely" ....(J D was the one in the middle of those three men back up singers you saw)
Steve Holy - "Just A Kiss (+ Lyrics 2000)" .....(You will love this guy's voice!!)
I love your reactions! You might next consider "Shangra-la" from ELO (Electric Light Orchestra). Beyond hauntingly beautiful! You'll die of joy overload.
Oh God I love Roy Ordison , all his music is classic
From one of the best DVDs that I own.
Poor Roy knew a lot of heartache. His family burned up in a house fire while he was on the road and he eventually died from life long heart problems.
This came out in 1961. He's singing in this in 1985.
React to "Pretty Woman" from this Black & White concert with Roy. You'll see Bruce a lot in it backing Roy up on guitar.
I don't understand why people haven't heard of not only Orbison but many, many great singers of the past. Their songs rang loud on most if not all radio stations. People who never heard of the Bee Gees or Bryan Adam's ....etc. it blows my mind ....lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Because they were not born back then, or were very little, or their parents did not listen to or expose them to artists "back then" -- they grew up w-other musicians & other types of music & didn't have exposure to what someone like myself was there to see & hear & know about.
@@carolhayar3037 Of course, growing up with it one would know, and if parents were talking about or playing the music they would know about older music, and even so it can take a decade more to catch up on a lot of the older stuff or even contemporary music that you weren't exposed to at the time which may not have been hits. But I am constantly amazed that famous professional singers at the top of their genre have not heard of of hit pop songs from even 20 or 25 years earlier. Some pop artist are students of music history such as Lady Gaga and Lana Del Rey, but many rose to the top without knowing much about the previous generation's music, which I find unbelievable at that level. For example, on the one season of shoot of American Idol called American Juniors in 2003, Debbie Gibson and Gladys Knight were the main judges, appearing on most of the episodes, and they had numerous other singer judges who appeared on several episodes or two episodes, even just one episode. Monica was a judge on two episodes, and on one of them there were at a least a couple of songs performed by the young contestants that she did not know, including Blondie's Call Me, from 1980.
Sarah. You are an amazing experience. Luv you.
So cute Sarah to see your true reaction.
Thanks and Happy (early) Birthday, Sarah! I’m sending you a cup of coffee to celebrate. I’m sorry it can’t be more! I still hope you can help me celebrate my birthday this Tuesday, June 26, with a reaction video to the 1968 American song, CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION by Tommy James, which I think and hope you will like. Greetings from Wetzlar here in Hessen where I will kiss the sky on your Birthday next week! -Glen
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
Roy Orbison had some tragedies in his life -- he had 3 children, the 2 older boys died in a house fire in 1968 when his home in Tennessee burned down. His first wife, Claudette, died after a motorcycle accident in 1966 @ age of 25.
You should try to watch that entire Black & White Night video -- it is truly fantastic -- the full title is "Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and White Night" --- some of the artists on stage with him were Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, & musicians of Elvis fame were James Burton, Glen Hardin & Jerry Scheff.
Please listen to "It's over". Often overlooked but incredible ❤
He's good in this, but you should have heard him in his prime back in the 50's & 60's. :) If you get the chance, listen to his vintage recordings. I'd suggest his "Blue Angel", "Leah", "I Can't Stop Loving You" just to name a few. But really, you can't go wrong with anything he sang.
Great reaction
The band is Bruce Springsteen, Bonie Rait, Tom Waites, Jackson Brown, T-Bone Burnette, KD Lange, and Elvis Costello. I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones I recognize. It's probably the most impressive band in history.
Elvis just loved Roy's voice.
Elvis was a big fan,me too,❤from France.
Love the original recodrings with buddy holly doing the background vocals,
You should listen to "In Dreams" by him. I think you will enjoy and be even more impressed.
Thank you 😊
He said that was his favorite song.
Check out the Traveling Wilburys. They are a supergroup that includes Roy.
I love your comments, putting into words my feelings about this performance
He was a part of the super band The Traveling Wilburys you should react to the Traveling Wilburys if you haven't the members are Roy Orbison George Harrison of The Beatles Tom Petty of the Heartbreakers Jeff Lynne of Elo and Bob Dylan also react to Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison
you should listen to Roy Orbison singing Crying.
Can you imagine dear Sarah, growing up with this music? Can you see why its called, "The fabric of our lives"?
I don't mine. I could listen to this tune 100 times in a row.
Roy's voice was so special, try "It's Over" next & hope it never will be.
He's not called 'The Big O' for nothing, Sarah. Never been anything quite like him and probably never will be. Soaring, slow-build ballads against lush strings were his forte. This was his first hit in 1960, and his original recordings on the Monument label from then onward remain unsurpassed. I hope you check some of them out sometime. 'Black and White Night' is an all-star retrospective made not too long before he passed. Obviously still in fine voice here, but his peak years are highly recommended.
One of Elvis favourite singer s
You can see Bruce Springsteen in back of Roy in the video.
This guy had some respect in his profession hehe
His voice echoes the tragedies he suffered 😢😂
enjoyed that a super lot. top tier musical content. Btw seriously you need to reacto to DAMAGED by October Ends
This is going to so so patronising but just for a moment realise we have had this wonderful music forever. When I was a little girl my parent introduced me to Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Lena Horn. Go look them up. Enjoy.
Elvis was once asked what it was like to have the greatest voice in the world.He said, i dont know.Ask Roy.
Listen to Roy and KD Lang "Crying" you will never stop listening! ❤️
ty ty t
He was a national treasure
Sum bithch....what a voice
The Everly Brothers sang backing on the original!
*THE BIG O*
I am stunned that you have not reacted to Joan Osborne and her version of What Becomes of the Brokenhearted! It’s an absolute masterpiece and you have not enjoyed it yet!
