Description
Roy Orbison, live from Festival Hall, Melbourne, Australia two shows 26th and 27th January 1967
Although chart success proved elusive following his transatlantic #1 with Oh, Pretty Woman in 1964, Roy Orbison remained a hugely popular live draw. Reeling from the death of his wife in a motorcycle accident in June 1966, he threw himself into touring. In January 1967 he travelled to Australasia as part of a package that also included the Walker Brothers and the Yardbirds. Despite suffering from a cold on arrival, he played superbly, backed by his regular band the Webbs. His two performances at Melbournes Festival Hall were broadcast on Circle J Radio, and are presented here in full, together with background notes and images.
