I am Gene Dlouhy's son Guy. (Hangover bluez by Hard Labor Band) on You Tube. My dad Gene of Gene Dlouhy & the Canadians (83 years old & still on the right side of the daisies) toured with Roy in 1964 & 65. His band (Gene's) was the opening act for that tour in the mid 60's that stretched from Seattle Washington and a few other dates in the Pacific Northwest USA to soldout shows in Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina etc. Between shows my dad had the pleasure of having some very personal conversations with the Roy man.

Does any one remember a tour/concert in which Gene Dloughy and The Canadians were playing in it with Roy Orbison? It would have been after 1966 and probably in Canada. I have a concert programme, called The Big O Light Show. And it has no daes or details. But I don't know anything else about it. And I would like to ).

That was the only time that I had a chance to see Roy live. I looked on the tour list, but it wasn't listed. I have been a reat fan of R.O. ever since. Was anyone else there?

Hi does anyone know when or where Roy Orbison played with a band called Gene Dlouhy and The Canadians? I think it was during a tour in either 1965, 1964 or 1968 and was probably in Canada, maybe Saskatchewan. I have an old prgramme but it has no dates etc on it. I would love to know more about it.

Did anyone else try and bag this amazing numberplate? I tried and failed. Wish I knew how to find out who had it.

So here is the question. If you could own it, how much would you pay for it?

Me? I reckon all I can afford is £2000

Can anyone help out with the song list Roy sang with his band and orchestra in Melbourne 1972, think it was October 3rd, and was broadcast by Australian TV on 4 Dec 1973?
Thanks folks.

Got a question that I would like answered, Back in 1962 a Don Orbison and his backing group the Basics recorded a track called Time on Lavender Records. I cannot find any reference to Roy's brothers only a short bit about his dad, Was Don Orbison a brother of Roy's and any information about the same would be of great help. Don's voice is very similar to Roy.....Please help

It was this day in 1965 that I attended the Roy Orbison & Rolling Stones concert in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was at the Theatre Royal ans was amazing! I have never seen the Rolling Stones before and little did I know that both Orbison and the Stones were going to impact the music industry the way that they did. I will never forget it... Did anyone else get to experience any of the Far East Tour in 1965?
