On 26 July 2010, Eagle Records will release “The Final Concert” by Roy Orbison [Cat No. EDGCD409]. This release is fully supported and endorsed by the Orbison family. The setlist includes many of Roys classics including the UK Top 10 hits: “Only The Lonely”, “Dream Baby”, “In Dreams”, “Mean Woman Blues”, “Blue Bayou”, “It’s Over”, and “Oh, Pretty Woman”.
Roy Orbison became universally known, was one of the most distinctive singers and songwriters of the Rock ‘n’ Roll era. Starting his career in the late fifties, he really hit the big time at the start of the sixties when a string of wonderful hit singles brought him fame on a worldwide basis.
This live recording, comes from a concert at the Front Row Theater in Cleveland on December 4th 1988, just two days before his sudden death from a heart attack on December 6th at the age of only 52. Orbison is in fine form delivering many of his best loved songs in his own unique style and with no indication of the tragedy to come. It is a fitting tribute to a truly great artist.
