Heads up. PBS has a 1988 Roy Orbison concert on with Bruce Springsteen.

[madfloridian]

It is on WUSF in the Tampa Bay area. Singing so many favorites.

[Orrex]

1. Didn't Roy die in '89?

Or was this his 1998 tour with Jim Hendrix, Jim Croce, and Janis Joplin?

:evilgrin:

(I kid the deceased uber-rocker!)

[madfloridian]

7. Dish network has the episode year wrong.

Once I started watching it I knew it couldn't be right.

[Orrex]

8. That's okay...

You've been so freaking solid on your Florida Primary postings that I'm not going to take you to task for Dish's error.

Though I might be just a little snarky about it...

:hi:

[madfloridian]

9. Thanks. This is making me sentimental.

:hi:

[elocs]

Here in Wisconsin they are showing the American Experience about FDR

followed by a repeat of the 2 hour program.

[Orrex]

10. A skilled orator, FDR nevertheless had a crummy singing voice

And history has greatly overstated his guitar skills.

[undeterred]

13. You never heard his falsetto

Roy Orbison learned it from FDR. :bounce:

[rurallib]

14. we are watching Charlie Chan on TCM. He could have figured it out.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. 1988

A Black and White Night. It's a great show.

Hard to believe Roy's been gone for 20 years, isn't it?

[Orrex]

3. Would it make me seem too weepy...

If I confessed to getting choked up the first time I saw the video for the Wilburys' End of the Line? Their handling of his verse, including the train's entry into a tunnel (and thus darkness) was one of the classier things ever shown on MTV.


Even classier than Tila Tequila, if you can believe that.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. No, I can't believe that anything

is classier than Tila Tequila.

Listen, as a child of the sixties, I find myself getting weepy every time the local PBS fundraiser shows the doo-wop groups from back then. I can't watch them any more.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

4. It could have been a good show but it's useless.

It's useless because the cuts between shots are really fast, and there are fast zooms also. You can't fix your eyes on anyone long enough to study their guitar playing. There's barely enough time to recognize the person you are looking at.

Whoever edited this should be keelhauled. :grr:

[madfloridian]

19. I am just enjoying the music.

.

[madfloridian]

6. Was it 1988 he died? I thought later. I love his music so much.

Never mind I saw it above.

[madfloridian]

5. Dish Network has the episode year wrong. Must be earlier.

What a wonderful concert. kd lang and springsteen look too young for it only to be 98

[undeterred]

12. Lots of other famous people there too ...

[madfloridian]

16. I caught a glimpse of Kris Kristofferson in the audience.

Who is the guy on stage to the left of Orbison in the long white jacket?

[The_Casual_Observer]

15. Something fun on PBS? I'll bet it's fund raising week!

and the show is interrupted ever 5 minutes.

[madfloridian]

18. Every 15...but I least we get a few minutes of Orbison.

:hi:

[The_Casual_Observer]

20. The tip off was the advertisement for a great Jimi Hendrix program

tomorrow night. No way would something like that be on there normally.

[spanone]

17. check out the band in that show....amazing
