Ah....Orbison's performance with Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello was absolutely phenomenal (a good chunk of the footage there is from that concert). I remember seeing that as a kid on PBS and just being floored by what I was seeing and hearing.
It is from Black and White Night which is truly a phenomenal show. I would recommend watching/owning the entire show. One thing about Orbison is he performs all his live songs as faultlessly as the studio recordings. Artists don't (can't) do that much anymore.
