Someone with the proper "home entertainment centre" set-up would certainly benefit from a DVD like that. When I saw the televised event back in the day, I doubt it even qualified for stereo.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-76965075350795226472009-03-27T21:06:00.000-04:002009-03-27T21:06:00.000-04:00The Black & White Night DVD is one of a number...The <I>Black & White Night</I> DVD is one of a number of music items I'd have a copy of if I'd ever felt justified spending the $ — and have satisfied for myself something of the urge toward, instead, by giving to someone else, for holiday, &c. (Another, — ah! — that Plant+Krauss album you liked so much.) Not the brightest way to 'gift,' maybe. But sincere, at least, as regard for the music & the good I suppose it's bound to do the giftee. — ha<BR/><BR/>So much of the delight of this concert, in my recall, is in the continual pleasure on Orbison's face at being fêted, and in the effect of all those younger stars thrown together as stage band, their individual high profiles subjected to the shared nostalgia kick, or to genuine appreciation for Orbison's music, or whatever it may be. Can't help thinking that to sit & watch, in this case, is much better than to listen only. Of course, it's partly because you're noticing less the songs themselves, this way, than the remarkable whole.paul bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409615610994443652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-71793488086536088132009-03-27T15:15:00.000-04:002009-03-27T15:15:00.000-04:00I can't imagine.

I didn't think it held up -- very slow, the rhymes were all obvious -- but then I'd be the wrong guy to ask.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-5249150138465864402009-03-27T10:02:00.000-04:002009-03-27T10:02:00.000-04:00WP, A throwaway gem of a post, sir.
