George Slv 11th Sep 2018		Emmy-Lou Harris was not in the cast. The show is not continuing, it was a Special. There should be a category like that here. I submitted these corrections but they are not made.



George Slv 27th Aug 2018		Review Barbara Orbison's gift to her husband to create a definitive stage performance. It collects several major musical stars to accompany Roy, although they do not do any solo performances. For example J.D. Souther recorded his "You're Only Lonely" inspired by "Only The Lonely", but he is only in the background with others as backup singers. Bruce Springsteen is in the foreground doing harmony vocals next to Roy and playing guitar. During some guitar breaks he and James Burton have an extended lead guitar duel. With so much star power together, everyone is having a whale of a time in this dynamic show. Barbara filmed it in black and white for the sake of the nostalgic effect. Aired on the Cinemax premium network, and released on video shortly. In 2017 Roy's sons created an extended reedited release with many extras on disc. It is cropped to 16:9, which is fine for distant shots but loses image in closeups. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
