0ur opinion: essential video:Few early rockers were more gifted or less honored in their prime than the late Roy 0rbison, whose vaulting tenor and vulnerable love songs conjured heartbreak and desire with operatic intensity. This 1987 concert special, originally broadcast on Showtime, came two decades after 0rbison had retreated from pop's front lines, yet neither 0rbison nor his music coasts on mere nostalgia: in every respect, A Black and White Night survives as a triumphant performance and a superb video production, as well as a first-rate retrospective of ...
