Springsteen was not really that young in 1987, when this concert was performed. In fact, he was 38 at the time and had earned the moniker, “The Boss” long before then. Great DVD btw without Elvis being mixed in although his old backup band, the TCB band, was working the concert here.
Orbison came out of seclusion and retirement to make the video with his admirers 14 months before he died. I say seclusion because he never gave interviews and was as mysterious as the shades he wore. The guitar “statement & answer battle” between “The Boss” and Orbison’s great longtime guitarist, James Burton, on “Pretty Woman” was a classic from two of the best. The concert was produced by T-bone Burnette who has come on lately to produce music for some really fine movie productions. Everybody on the stage that night and many in the audience were renowned in the trade. This was a project of respect and love for Orbison by his peers.
Get the whole concert on DVD, you will like it, guaranteed.

This song came up on my YouTube screen while listening to Dave’s offering of the Orbison piece. I like Josh Groban’s pure voice. It is almost too perfect and this rendition of Don McClean’s “Vincent” is excellent.

I have to agree--his voice is seemingly perfect and immediately recognizable when one of his pieces come on. I cannot help but add the additional honor that he does all of that with no drama--he is just Josh

During our recent holiday we had the great pleasure of attending a concert of the Vienna Chamber Orchestra. Here is a single video that touches many of the loves of my life.
All in one here are Chamber Orchestra, the violin, fantastic score---and lovely ladies----doesn't get better than that
