Sorry, this movie sucks

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Heard a comment about this concert, "Egos checked at the door"; it was right on.I was a teenager in the late 50s and early 60s. My two favorite singers were Roy Orbison (the Big O) and Buddy Holly. I followed Roy Orbison's life and career long after he faded from view. His music helped me deal with the ups and the downs of my life. The tragedy in his life moved me to tears and was one of the factors that led me back to going to church - Anglican or in the States Episcopalian.So when I first saw this incredible concert I was moved to tears by it. To see so many artists I had come to respect and whose music I had come to love backing him up, with no other thought than to help him be the very best he could be was so inspiring.I hope everyone who is blessed to hear this experiences that same joy it brought to me.

In this concert Roy Orbison was surrounded by an aristocracy of stars in their own right from a younger generation. But almost completely self-effacing they were there to pay tribute to the master himself and to be present at the great occasion. And what an occasion it turned out to be. The world is familiar with Orbison's classic songs recorded from 1960 onwards and most remember how he then sang them. The surprise was that at this, what was to be his last, concert he brought enhanced interpretations to his established classics There was more expression, sometimes in places more power and real unexpected drama. The climax at the end of Running Scared was absolutely electrifying. All participants paid verbal tribute in their own ways to Orbison in pieces to camera at the end. k d lang said it best: Orbison didn't sing songs, he sang epics. Of all that younger generation she was perhaps best placed to make that judgement.

Perfect pitch in a range exceeding 3 octaves...delivery as flawless as an angel landing softly on a 'pavlova'...timeless graceful melodies sounding fresh as newly fallen snow, though written long ago, and performed countless times over a 25 - 30 year career prior to this magic night of nights...the joy of of the 'young' musicians sharing the stage with the 'Master' is a rare privilege to behold....Roy Kelton Orbison had the purest, most expressive tone of any singer of his generation...this film captures the essence of his genius better than any music 'video' this viewer has ever seen...the all star 'support' is anchored by James Burton, lead guitar phenom, to my mind playing on a level others can only dream of, including mega star Bruce 'the boss' Springsteen, who is frequently shown, delight radiating from his face....tasteful backup harmonies by KD Lang, Bonnie Raitt, and Jennifer Warnes blending perfectly with Roy's soaring notes that only Roy can hit...I sat in rapture for the entire 64 minutes, dreading the moment when the performance would end...a perfect 10, don't miss this one, music lovers of the 50's and 60's, it is VERy special film-making

As an amateur musician, I truly appreciate great music, and this was one of the best hours of television I've ever seen. Everyone was great, especially Roy, Bruce and the other guitar players and musicians. I especially liked Jennifer Warnes, K.D., and Bonnie as backup singers. To sum it up- a truly inspiring hour of music and a tribute to Roy, who passed away way too young. There should be more shows of this caliber- TV would be a better place.
