Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison performs "Mean Woman Blues" live at the Farm Aid concert in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help — what can you do?

That guitar solo was shockingly awful. It totally wrecked the middle of the song and couldn't have been less suited to Roy Orbison's music. Who is that disgrace of a guitarist anyway?

As one of Roy's former lead guitarists I agree with Marty's comment about the guitar solo. Way over kill.He tried to make the song about him not Roy.

Yh the solo is great but doesn't belong in good old Rock'N'Roll songs...belongs in Bon Jovi type songs!!

Roy is fantastic here as always. It's a great shame about that guitar solo in the middle though it absolutely wrecks the song - it's like he thinks that he's playing with Metallica! Not tasteful at all - I guess that this is why Roy got James Burton to play for him in Black and White Night.
