Re: [Harp-L] roy orbison/s killer band

Well, the backing vocal section was kd laing, Jennifer Warnes, and Bonnie Raitt. Not too shabby, and you can tell that they're jazzed to be doing it.


James Burton was on lead guitar - one of the gods of the instrument, though known more as a musician's musician than to the public.

You got Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen - and Elvis plays a little harp as well as the Candy Man himself.

There's more, but it's been awhile since I watched that concert.

It is a clip from the Black and White Evening concert--a wonderful treasure
of Roy's talent.
So you should be able to track down a list of the personnel online--and
maybe snag a copy from somewhere too!
