    Fun fact: when Roy Orbison came to my hometown on tour, my grandmother was young then and rushed the stage. Security caught her, and instead of kicking her out, Roy Orbison signed an autograph for her and was super nice. She still has the signed picture decades later. Thank you, Roy Orbison, for being nice to my crazy fan girl grandma. ❤️

Even though it was 100+ degrees in Austin, he wore like 6 layers of clothing, finishing with a heavy multi-colored coat. This made him smell pretty bad. I was required to wear a suit, and just looking at his clothes made me sweat more. Overall, he was a more pleasant customer than 90% of celebrities I drove.

    The guitarist who added the most to this performance in his typically unassuming way was the incredibly talented James Burton. He's the one outdueling Bruce. If you know his pedigree, then you know why he is so remarkably talented as a guitarist. The former leader of Elvis Presley's band has played with just about every conceivable major Country & Rock & Roll artist. They all regard him as an icon of the guitar.

      Thanks, Jack. How well I know a that. The tragedy that was Ricky Nelson. He was THE teen idol of the 1950's, and should have done much more with his music. He was just a bit too syrupy and "pretty." The country wanted something different and first got the "Bad Boy," Elvis and then The Beatles and then The Stones. Nelson was left dealing with drug addiction and a failed marriage. Burton was simply one if the best lead guitarists of that era and is still respected beyond his prime.

    Maybe it's just me, but other than being a golden night of raw artists, with Roy in the middle, calmly but seriously watching everyone in the band do their thing, it just seemed as though he was a very solid centerpiece with a type of aura that cemented the whole band that night. It's like he was wearing an invisible crown, like a dad watching his children perform and keeping an eye on each one. When Roy joined the Traveling Wilbury's, I think that was a very magic moment for the group to have his talents combined with the other Royalty of music. That was a time when music was serious and involved. I lived through it; I know. Never to be repeated again.

    Roy Orbison was truly a rare talent. His range was, and is still untouched today. It's rare to have a male vocalist hit such high notes, yet can also do wonders to the low notes. He did it with such force, such power, but the best of all, such clarity that his music will live on for thousands of years unsurpassed. What still amazes me since the first I've heard his music until today is, he did it with ease. It's incredible. His voice is unmatched even today..!!

    Still love listening to his music, so much talent on that stage you couldn’t even measure it, millions of notes on all those hands, thank you for sharing.

    I am 68 years old and every time i see this performance, I feel myself a teenager again , full adrenaline after hearing that wonderful combination ( the best voice and guitar work). I feel myself so lucky that this great artists where a part of my childhood...

      Mate, I just turned 60 a few days ago, and I have lost count of how many times I've played this wonderful piece. Wouldn't have it been something if the pair of us were sitting in that venue, listening to the master himself (as well as his starring back-up artistes, no less), drinking in this glorious song?
      The word "legend" is often loosely bandied about. But you and I know that, when it comes to Roy Orbison, that word defned him completely.
      Guess what? I'm going to play it again!

    Pretty Woman was the number 1 song when I enlisted in the USAF in Sep 1964. I'll never forget it. Roy Orbison & his music were a huge part of my teen years. He was one of a kind. RIP, Roy.

    The song has lost none of its charm which just goes to show that music can never grow old nor ever fade away The singer is immortalized by the song and vice versa The guitaring was simply divine .I'll never get tired of listening to this absolutely delightful song 🎵 💕
