The bonus features included in BLACK & WHITE NIGHT 30 are remarkable in both size and scope. These include a previously unseen alternate version of Orbison’s biggest hit ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’ and a previously unseen ‘Blue Angel.’ Then, unbeknownst to just about everyone but those that were there in 1987, Roy and friends and the full band regathered onstage after the show had ended and after the audience had left. A ‘secret concert’ of five songs followed and is presented here for the first time. The “secret concert” features alternate takes of ‘Dream You,’ ‘Comedians,’ ‘Candyman,’ ‘Claudette,’ and ‘Uptown’ with shooting stopped only after film ran out in the middle of the latter song. These ‘secret’ performances have been highly sought after by fans for decades. All tracks, including all ‘secret concert’ alternate versions have been freshly remastered by Richard Dodd. The audio for the concert is available on CD with buyers of BLACK & WHITE NIGHT 30 receiving a download code for access to the audio records of the ‘secret concert.’
Also included is a brand new 33-minute mini-documentary consisting of rehearsal footage and pre and post show interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne from that night. Absolutely none of this content has ever been released commercially, and until recently, has only been rumored to exist.
BLACK & WHITE NIGHT 30’s bonus features are capped with a montage consisting of 20 still photos from the show and new photos of show memorabilia, mostly unused and unseen in any context. Liner notes written by son Roy Orbison Jr. are included in the brand new, yet thematically consistent, packaging.
