"A Black & White Night Live" is a Roy Orbison music album made posthumously by Virgin Records from the HBO television broadcast, Roy Orbison and Friends, "A Black and White Night". The album was released in 1989 and included the songs "Blue Bayou" and "Claudette" that because of time constraints had been deleted from the televised broadcast.On piano is Glen D. Hardin, who had played piano for Buddy Holly as well as for years for Elvis Presley. Lead guitarist James Burton is also from Presley's group. Male background vocals, with some on guitar, are Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, and Steven Soles. Female background vocals are k.d. lang, Jennifer Warnes, and Bonnie Raitt. The show also had a number of celebrities in the audience such as Kris Kristofferson, Billy Idol and Sandra Bernhard. On the other hand, the performances are extremely reverential to the established studio versions of the songs (all of the hits are here), and intended to mimic them, so this isn't quite the same as a live album as it would have been done back when.
