Summary: Blu-Ray is Best
Comment: I am at work and wish I could get into great detail about every reason I love this dvd, but I do not have hours to dedicate to that :)
I owned this before it came out in Blu-ray and watched it often, however, it is like watching it from a totally different light. My absolute favorite song performed is Go.Go.Go. from Down the Line. Roy Orbison is such a musical hero and the crew he performs with is untouchable! The blu-ray is the way to go, for sure.

Summary: The great Roy "O"
Comment: The music is great, the guests are great, the fun they are having is great. Saw the program on tv and just knew I had to have it. I absolutely love this DVD.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great on DVD, amazing on Blu ray
Comment: Great Blu ray of an amazing concert... sound is spectacular and it's great to see him near the end of his life, performing this well, with K.D. Lang, Springsteen and many more who joined him for this great B&W live concert. The black & white is perfect for his retro image and his long career since the fifties. It's a great choice if you've ever liked his music, performed by him or the many artists who had hits with his material.

Summary: Roy the Boy is great
Comment: I saw the previous black and white concert on PBS, and franklin I was dissapointed in the B&W Blue Ray version.Perhaps its meant to be in Color, but I saw little difference in Blue Ray than the original concert.
Still, the sounds and the performance was vintage Roy Orbison
Customer Rating:
Summary: One Glorius Night.
Comment: Roy is at the top of his game and the supporting cast is as star studded as it gets. I bought the HD DVD version... simply great. I did not give it five stars because there were were more than a few out of focus shots. They really show up in HD on a very large display.
After enjoying this you just have to wish all the great artists of the 50s and early 60s could have got at least one live performance of this caliber down for future generations to remember. Sadly so little of what is out there is not recorded in a way that is suitable for high quality transfer to the new high definition video and audio formats.
