Movie Reviews of Roy Orbison: Black & White Night [HD DVD]

Movie Review: Widescreen and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 !!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I collect music DVD's, owning over 200. I have most all music DVD's released so far on both HD DVD and Blu-ray. I eagerly awaited the HD DVD release of Black & White Night. Of course I also own Black & White Night in regular DVD.

Sonically, the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 is easily the best video accompanied audio I have ever heard through my system. For that alone this HD DVD version is an enormous upgrade. The widescreen instead of 1:33 and much clearer video is visually a big upgrade also and I love having the instant access to the song list that HD DVD provides. "Blue Angel" is a bonus song not on the DVD version. This HD DVD now ranks as one of my top 5 fav's and a must buy.

But, I'm also hanging onto my DVD version because it includes several features surprisingly missing from this HD DVD version, most notably a "Musician's Menu" on the DVD that maps and identifies each musician by face and then provides their individual biography. The regular DVD also provides a narrative overview and snapshots of the rehearsal. I'm surprised that Image Entertainment left these off the HD DVD version and/or didn't add perhaps an interview with Barbara Orbison or some of the musician's. Nonetheless, this HD DVD version is a stunner. Sonically, over a high end audio system, this HD DVD is reference quality highlighting the multi-fold improvements of Dolby TrueHD 5.1.
