The special was filmed entirely in black and white. After the broadcast the concert was released on VHS and Laserdisc. A live album was released in 1989.

Background[edit]
The special consisted of a performance of many of Orbison's hits at the then Ambassador Hotel's Coconut Grove nightclub in Los Angeles, filmed on September 30, 1987, approximately fourteen months before his death. Three songs, 'Blue Bayou', 'Claudette', and 'Blue Angel', were filmed but not included in the original broadcast due to time constraints.
Other celebrity admirers of Orbison were in the audience, including David Lynch, Billy Idol, Patrick Swayze, Sandra Bernhard and Kris Kristofferson. The backing band was the TCB Band, which accompanied Elvis Presley from 1969 until his death in 1977: Glen D. Hardin on piano, James Burton on lead guitar, Jerry Scheff on bass, and Ronnie Tutt on drums. Male background vocalists, some of whom also joined in on guitar, were Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther and Steven Soles. The female background vocalists were k.d. lang, Jennifer Warnes and Bonnie Raitt. During the end credits, several of the band members are shown talking about how Orbison influenced them.
Soon after the release on VHS and LaserDisc, a bootleg CD titled A Black and White Night, Roy Orbison in Concert with the Billion Dollar Band surfaced, and is a rare collectors item nowadays. This CD, which came before any official CD-release of the concert, has the same 15 songs in the same order as the original VHS/LaserDisc release and has catologue number RO.LA.87, referring to the artist, place and year of the recording.
The audio from this special was released as an album by Virgin Records in 1989, titled A Black & White Night Live. After Orbison's death, his family provided the video to public television stations to air during their fund-raising campaigns.

The soundtrack has been released on CD, SACD that features both Stereo and Multi Channel Mixes, 12' vinyl LP, and DVD-Audio.The Laserdisc release follows the tracklist of the broadcast and VHS, while the DVD release contains the two previously unreleased songs 'Blue Bayou' and 'Claudette'.

(1998)Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [5] According to the official Roy Orbison discography by Marcel Riesco,[6]A Black & White Night Live, the live album, was compiled and released posthumously from the television special in October 1989, and included the song 'Blue Bayou' which was cut from the original broadcast for time limitations. However it did not include the songs 'Blue Angel' or 'Claudette' which were also cut from the original broadcast for the same reason. The live album has been released several times in different formats, but the newly released 'Black & White 30' features all the tracks, plus bonus selections never before heard.
