About This Album
Roy Orbison's widow, Barbara, organized the release of these four live concert recordings taken from various points in Orbison's career. In doing so, and putting them out as a mid-priced quadruple-disc set, she not only filled a yawning gap in her late husband's career -- Monument Records never did record its biggest-selling act of the 1960s in concert -- but undercut potential bootleggers by getting the family-authorized version to market first, and at a competitive price. With one major exception here, the set list doesn't vary much from show to show; an artist like Orbison would be hidebound to sing his hits, and the audience certainly lets him know which ones they want to hear throughout this four-disc collection. Regarding sound quality, these are soundboard tapes cleaned up as much as possible; don't expect them to sound awful and they won't, but don't expect them to sound like a record, either, because they fall quite short. However, you don't come to a Roy Orbison concert, tap your foot, and say, "Nice mix on the bass player." No, you come to hear Orbison, and here's one time when a vocal-heavy board tape has the spotlight falling on the right set of shoulders.
