One of the few artists to have worldwide recognition in all forms of music \u2013 pop, rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, spoken word, and country \u2013 he received Grammys in all categories, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award. On August 10, Eagle Rock Entertainment will pay homage to Roy Orbison upon the release of The Last Concert CD [MSRP $13.98].<\/p>\n<p>Originally released as a limited run via iTunes in 2008 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his passing, The Last Concert is now available on CD for the first time. Recorded on December 4, 1988 in Cincinnati, just two days before his sudden death, this was the last time Roy ever performed. This collection of fourteen songs, including seven top ten singles, is the exact order of his show that evening. This includes one of the most loved Rock \u2018n Roll songs ever, \u201cOh, Pretty Woman,\u201d as well as his Grammy-Award Winning \u201cCrying\u201d and \u201cDream Baby.\u201d This historic performance is untouched by mixing and enhancements \u2013 it\u2019s pure, honest, unmistakable Roy.<\/p>\n<p>Following Roy\u2019s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, in 1989, Roy became the second singer to ever simultaneously have two posthumous Top 5 albums (King of Hearts, Mystery Girl) on the Billboard charts (the first was Elvis Presley). In addition to his inductions into the Nashville Songwriter\u2019s Hall of Fame and Nashville Walk Of Fame, Orbison was recently honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2008, the Library of Congress added \u201cOh, Pretty Woman\u201d to the National Recording Registry. <\/p>\n<p>The Last Concert CD is a rarity in these days and times because it is historically correct\u2014it is a trip down memory lane, capturing one of the best rock \u2018n roll singers of all time. You don\u2019t really get to know an artist until you go to a live performance, and this particular concert, on December 4th, 1988 was the very last time that Roy Orbison performed. It is an incredible example of Roy\u2019s on-stage presentation, in which he always gave stellar, near-chilling performances. It is a must-have in any record collection.<\/p>\n<p>Track Listing:<br \/>\n1.) Only The Lonely<br \/>\n2.) Leah<br \/>\n3.) Dream Baby<br \/>\n4.) In Dreams<br \/>\n5.) Mean Woman Blues<br \/>\n6.)
