Short story:

Roy Orbison and Friends - The Black And White Night, a Cinemax tv special is filmed at the Cocoanut Grove in the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, California, USA. Bruce Springsteen plays rhythm guitar as part of an all-star band supporting Orbison, and other band members include Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, James Burton, k.d.Lang and Jackson Browne.

Full article:

Roy Orbison : We had a rehearsal and Bruce had obviously taken the chord sheets home and practiced. As we went on stage Bruce said, ‘Should I be nervous?’ I said, ‘No. I’ll take care of that.’

It was terrific to look around and see Bruce playing guitar and Elvis Costello doing his bit. I really loved every moment of it.
