Their first album was amazing. They had to hurry because Bob Dylan was going on tour. They only had 10 days to complete the recording of 10 songs. They wrote a song in the morning and recorded it in the evening. Roy Orbison passed away before this video was shot. That's his guitar in the rocking chair. Legendary session drummer, Jim Keltner is also in the band. Check out their video of Handle With Care.
The sad passing of the great Roy Orbison in 1988 was so untimely as far as this amazing group was concerned, the mind boggles as to what they could have continued to produce together. There will never be such a collaboration of such talent being put together again as the Travelling Wilbury's.
George was in Los Angeles to record one song to finish a project. Jeff Lynn was going to produce it for him. They decided to call Bob Dylan to see if they could borrow his home studio to do the recording. First, George had to borrow a guitar from Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison came along. This all happened by accident, as a lark, just for fun.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were touring with and the backing band for Bob Dylan in the mid 80s, Jeff and George had worked on a few projects already, and all these people would be friendly with each other since the 70s. Roy Orbison toured with Elvis and Johnny Cash back in 1956, then he toured with the Beatles in England in 1962-63. There is a lot of history in this band that wasn't a band.
The most impressive part of this is that what was created off the cuff in a friendly jam session went platinum multiple times over. Then roy's posthumous new album was released and it went platinum too, making him the second man in history to have three top ten singles and two top 20 albums come out after his passing. The other was elvis.
One of those “mantra songs” only Harrison could write. The Wilburys made a lot a news back in the day and Vol. 1 was a huge international seller. The group also won an Emmy for best Rock Group. Today, when you read about history’s greatest “musical supergroups,” The Wilburys are always listed, usually as number one. The whole album is full of fun surprises, but you should hit their first single “Handle With Care.”
Your reaction is just precious! You reacted just like we all feel when we discovered them! They didn't have to be superstars. Each of them already had been there.
Us old folks were very aware of what this super group represented and how great they were if only for a moment or two. Poor Roy,R.I.P.! Roy had such a smooth voice!Here is another great band that you have not heard of though you will want to listen or react to song after song once you have. They are called Renaissance, a symphonic progressive rock and a unique band that had and do again a tremendous lead vocalist named Annie Haslam , who has a five octave range vocals! Try Ashes Are Burning or Black Flame or another Russia.
“Hey, that’s on you guys!” Haha. Indeed. The legend lives on, but for each of the 5 superstars, this was just a fun little side project. If they weren’t already super famous, this would have got them there. But, there it is. 😃☀️
What's so funny is how they got together. It was just a wish that Jeff Lynne and George Harrison had as they named other guys they would like to form a band with. They just started naming names and then decided to call them up and see if they were game. You must do some ELO reactions to get up to speed on Jeff Lynne the mastermind behind the group.
I'm so impressed with you. A great reaction. It warms my heart that someone so young knows what talent these men were on their own and how that was amplified by them doing it together.
That just goes to show how much super music was around back in those days, to let these guys slip through the reactions. You can hear Roy Orbison sing his verse while they flash on the chair with his guitar in it. If you want to see a video of them with Roy actually there, try Handle with Care: ua-cam.com/video/1o4s1KVJaVA/v-deo.htmlsi=nymoQXuOGofgdw6v
I really love to see how much music excites you. It reminds me wistfully of the old days, when music was the most important thing for most young people.
Yay! I was on your livestream and saw that you were blown away by the fact that this group existed. I knew you would quickly check them out! I was so happy to see this alert! You also need to check out their song “Handle with care” Official video! Roy is still alive in that one. In this one, (end of line) they had a guitar on the chair and a picture of Roy since he had since died. Loved your reaction! Thank you! 😀
These legends are/ were just guys who liked to play . Remember that’s how they started out, it was fantastic when they decided to do this . The album’s are fantastic
I don't think they made a bad song. I loved, loved, loved their two albums and those cd's were on constant replay. I didn't know how they originated so thanks for giving a little research. We both learned something. Whatever is next from them would be super for me. Glad you found them. Now go back and listen to that song about 10 more times. 👍👍
Silas...pick any song from the first one and you can't miss...they are all killers. Love how much joy and fun you were sjhowing while this was playing. Real music does that to you !!!
I truly believe Jeff Lynne has the best voice out of these dudes. Collectively they are just fantastic. Handle With Care also has a video. But my favourite track from Vol 1 is Tweeter and the Monkey Man sung by Bob Dylan. Whacky and wonderous! 💯
Interesting reaction. Hard to believe you have never heard of the Wilburys! Yes, they are legends and great talents in their own rights, and together worked so well.
Congrats on finding them...great, weren't they? A story I heard about the recording of the album was they started out each singing the lead on each song, and just seeing whose came out the best. But they all thought Roy Orbison was the best on ALL the songs they tried! So, they threw that idea out. I think I saw this on a documentary about the band.
Ahh, that guitar in the empty rocking chair, Roy Orbison is a legend, much missed & truly treasured, as are the other missing legends. The “new” Beatles tune made me cry a lot!
Silas: you're young, so I don't know if you recognized Roy Orbison's (very unique) voice. But he died before the video was recorded, but is represented here by the guitar on the rocking rocking chair. Sadly, Harrison and Petty have also passed away making the lyrics emotional and oh so prescient. Sadly, I appreciate Harrison, Petty and Orbison much more now, than when they were recording and performing. What great talents, I miss em all & Prince, Michael Jackson, Mary Travers (of Peter, Paul & Mary) and all the many others.
Because Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne worked with him in the past, I wish Prince had been one of the Traveling Wilburys too. On a different note, the Traveling Wilburys get even more legendary on their video of the song "Wilbury Twist" which includes Eric Idle from Monty Python and the late, great John Candy in it.
Thanks, Silas! all of them genius... Roy passed before they did the video, so you will see the rocking chair with the guitar.. and the photo.. and give it up for the uncredited drummer Jim Keltner.. he was offered to be a part of the band.. but declined... still! Appreciate your reaction.. hope you do more...
They were an iconic supergroup. I think they had lots more planned but Roy died suddenly. They had two albums. Volume 1 and Volume 3. I've been waiting for decades for Volume 2.
The idea was to write songs quickly with each other for fun. These guys liked to hang around with each other making music, singing songs, especially George. Notice that the Wilburys never "travelled"
It s awsome to see your exitement here! I felt exactly the same way back in 1988 when I heard it the first time in my car. Funny that I remember George Harrisons line "...old and grey" because that's exactly what I am today. Still love this song and I love how young people like you love it , too. I also appreciate seeing Jim Keltner on drums.
When this came out, Tom Petty was the baby of the group and Roy was the old fart. I’m now older than all of them were at the time. The music has just gotten better as time goes on.
Roy Orbison (50s). George Harrison and Bob Dylan (60s). Jeff Lynne (70s). Tom Petty (80s). Wilburys (90s). Almost FIVE DECADES of Rock and Roll History right there. The ULTIMATE Supergroup. Their like will never be seen again.
NICE thats Roy's guitar in the rocking chair scene...rocking right along...how cool was that believe it or not Jeff produced or engineered the sound on some of the Beatles records...clout
Such incredible talent all in one room. All legends. You should definitely check out some ELO, like their song All Over the World and Mr. Blue sky. Also check out Roy Orbison and friends a black and white night. Recorded live at the coconut Grove shortly before his untimely death. Good job on the review, its really nice to see young people taking a real interest in great talent and that you read some facts before diving in blind. 👍cheers from Arizona 🍻
If you saw the chair that part was roy orbinson part he died before filming this music video and the guitar invthe ghair was belong to him he is legendary from sun records he was started in 50s his contemporary is elvis presley johnny cash and other rock.icons of the 50s
Hi Silas, happy new year mate. Would not want to be responsible for you missing out on your musical education. Please watch The Black Sorrows singing "never let me go" and the Teskey brothers singing "hold me" live at the forum 🇭🇲
Learning guitar?!! Cool!!! Me too! (at 64 nearly 65, since just after my 61st) Look up Paul Davids 'Learn, Practice, Play' (1 course of 6 or 7). It's Guitar learning worth looking into as well as his myriad of UA-cam videos (check there first). 😁😁😁
Their first album was amazing. They had to hurry because Bob Dylan was going on tour. They only had 10 days to complete the recording of 10 songs. They wrote a song in the morning and recorded it in the evening. Roy Orbison passed away before this video was shot. That's his guitar in the rocking chair. Legendary session drummer, Jim Keltner is also in the band. Check out their video of Handle With Care.
Making an album in 10 days is insane.
Showing Roy's empty rocker with his guitar is touching as his vocal is prominent on this stellar recording. What a band!
The rocking chair with guitar shows up again years later in Jeff Lynne's "When I Was A Boy".
ua-cam.com/video/tM34A80RTv4/v-deo.html
The rocking chair with the guitar...RIP Roy, George and Tom. You will always be with us. ❤
Jeff Lynne featured the rocking chair and guitar again in his ELO video "When I Was A Boy".
ua-cam.com/video/tM34A80RTv4/v-deo.html
I always get chills listening to Roy's voice with the rocking chair and guitar, knowing that he had passed away before the video was filmed.
The 2nd album is called "volume 3" simply because George loved to prank people. And he's still getting people decades after his passing
Never forget Jim Keltner (Buster Sidebury). One of THE BEST session drummers ever.
The sad passing of the great Roy Orbison in 1988 was so untimely as far as this amazing group was concerned, the mind boggles as to what they could have continued to produce together. There will never be such a collaboration of such talent being put together again as the Travelling Wilbury's.
George was the undisputed master of Tone. His guitar always sounded so damn good. He was old school, too. Loved writing throwback genre hits.
George was in Los Angeles to record one song to finish a project. Jeff Lynn was going to produce it for him. They decided to call Bob Dylan to see if they could borrow his home studio to do the recording. First, George had to borrow a guitar from Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison came along.

Roy Orbison toured with Elvis and Johnny Cash back in 1956, then he toured with the Beatles in England in 1962-63. There is a lot of history in this band that wasn't a band.
I'm glad you recognize how huge each of these guys was/is.
This album is a masterpiece
75 with a bad heart here, this song brings a smile deep inside me where I need it
What is TRULY AMAZING is that GEORGE HARRISON was in an even more 'SUPER' Super Group!!
The most impressive part of this is that what was created off the cuff in a friendly jam session went platinum multiple times over.
Then roy's posthumous new album was released and it went platinum too, making him the second man in history to have three top ten singles and two top 20 albums come out after his passing.

RIP Orbison, Petty, Harrison. They were all taken away from this world too soon.

Roy had such a smooth voice!Here is another great band that you have not heard of though you will want to listen or react to song after song once you have.

The empty rocking chair always makes me tear up 😢
What a gift these guys gave us!
One of my favorite songs ever. I’m sure you noticed Roy O. wasn’t in the video but his guitar was in the chair. Love them all.
“Hey, that’s on you guys!” Haha. Indeed. The legend lives on, but for each of the 5 superstars, this was just a fun little side project. If they weren’t already super famous, this would have got them there. But, there it is. 😃☀️
Their recordings were all over radio at the time. Lots of hits.
If I had a time capsule their music would definitely be in it. Iconic talents
Two must songs are Handle With Care and Tweeter and the Monkey Man from the first album. Thanks for doing this, I enjoyed it.
3 of them have reached the end of the line now.
What's so funny is how they got together. It was just a wish that Jeff Lynne and George Harrison had as they named other guys they would like to form a band with. They just started naming names and then decided to call them up and see if they were game. You must do some ELO reactions to get up to speed on Jeff Lynne the mastermind behind the group.
I'm so impressed with you. A great reaction.
It warms my heart that someone so young knows what talent these men were on their own and how that was amplified by them doing it together.
I always figured that this was a sort of side project for these tremendous artists. Handle Me With Care is a great song, as well.
Fun watching you enjoying the song, and the import of the massive talent in that rail car.
Silas - welcome to the wonderful world of 'The Travelling Wilburys'! 😊
That just goes to show how much super music was around back in those days, to let these guys slip through the reactions.

Silas, still kicking out kick-ass reactions. Hats off, man. ❤
I don't think they made a bad song. I loved, loved, loved their two albums and those cd's were on constant replay. I didn't know how they originated so thanks for giving a little research. We both learned something. Whatever is next from them would be super for me. Glad you found them. Now go back and listen to that song about 10 more times. 👍👍
Like it when young people discover the music of my youth.
Enjoy the journey.
Silas...pick any song from the first one and you can't miss...they are all killers. Love how much joy and fun you were sjhowing while this was playing. Real music does that to you !!!
I truly believe Jeff Lynne has the best voice out of these dudes. Collectively they are just fantastic. Handle With Care also has a video. But my favourite track from Vol 1 is Tweeter and the Monkey Man sung by Bob Dylan. Whacky and wonderous! 💯
I like Dylan's "Congratulations" on "Vol. 3".
I like Roy’s voice too. Too good.
@@jnagarya519 Congratulations is on Vol. 1, mate. Similar song to this called 7 Deadly Sins is on Vol. 3.
Agreed they're all great but Jeff's is my fav
Check out Dylan's "Congratulations" on Vol. 3.
“Handle Me With Care” is another Wilburys song. Roy Orbison was in this one.
Jim Keltner should get equal billing. Handle with Care was on a package and George went with it.
I guess he is like Jeff Lynne preferring to be a quiet talent rather than seek credit.
Love all of them! They are great! R.I.P Tom💔 R.I.P Roy. R.I .P George 💔💔🎶🎸☮️💟‼️
Interesting reaction. Hard to believe you have never heard of the Wilburys! Yes, they are legends and great talents in their own rights, and together worked so well.
WOWEE! This is the best reaction to this supergroup I’ve ever seen. Thanks for doing this.
Definitely a super group of super groups.
You do good reactions. I hope you keep going!
I just get so happy seeing you so happy. Keep exploring!
Handle With Care video is a must watch...My fave song from first album is Tweeter and the Monkey Man!
Congrats on finding them...great, weren't they? A story I heard about the recording of the album was they started out each singing the lead on each song, and just seeing whose came out the best. But they all thought Roy Orbison was the best on ALL the songs they tried! So, they threw that idea out. I think I saw this on a documentary about the band.
"That's on you guys!" Well, that's us told
The empty rocking chair gets me whenever I hear Roy's voice, but he's missing.
This is the first time to me. I like it. I'll see more....Thanks
The energy in ttheir song is relentless; it never lets up for a second. Next reaction - October Ends Dark 😍
Hey brother man, good to see ya. Great choice , great reaction.
Thank you Silas… I see you loved it!☮️💟
Ahh, that guitar in the empty rocking chair, Roy Orbison is a legend, much missed & truly treasured, as are the other missing legends. The “new” Beatles tune made me cry a lot!

What great talents, I miss em all & Prince, Michael Jackson, Mary Travers (of Peter, Paul & Mary) and all the many others.
Listen to the whole album . Bought it straight off when it was put out . Vinyl is so clean and clear . If you do this album I’ll be there !
Five guys having fun together, the rocking chair was representative of Roy not being there
You are correct that is on us…lol. Lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🍁
Because Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne worked with him in the past, I wish Prince had been one of the Traveling Wilburys too. On a different note, the Traveling Wilburys get even more legendary on their video of the song "Wilbury Twist" which includes Eric Idle from Monty Python and the late, great John Candy in it.

the music history is soooo deep you will experience something new every day
Check out their Handle With Care, She’s My Baby and Last Night. You will not be disappointed….
Notice the empty rocking chair? Roy's picture? Sad!
Roy died before this video was filmed… petty said that when they were playing the song, the empty chair started rocking on its own
Absolutely fantastic. Good old George made it happen.
They were an iconic supergroup. I think they had lots more planned but Roy died suddenly. They had two albums. Volume 1 and Volume 3. I've been waiting for decades for Volume 2.

One of the most appropriate reactions I've seen! One of my savior music groups in the late 80s. They gave me a reason to buy albums once again. 😉♥
Two views of Roy's rocking chair, first time rocking, second with Roy's guitar sitting in the chair.
BEST reaction I've seen!
Classic..lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🍁
You dispense enthusiasm. Appreciated.
It s awsome to see your exitement here! I felt exactly the same way back in 1988 when I heard it the first time in my car. Funny that I remember George Harrisons line "...old and grey" because that's exactly what I am today. Still love this song and I love how young people like you love it , too. I also appreciate seeing Jim Keltner on drums.
Take a look at "Handle With Care"
Awesome ! Handle with Care & Tweeter & the Monkey Man are also good. TY Silas !!!
When this came out, Tom Petty was the baby of the group and Roy was the old fart. I’m now older than all of them were at the time. The music has just gotten better as time goes on.
I didn't realize Jeff Lynne was in this band. Please me you've listened to Electric Light Orchestra! :)
Roy Orbison (50s). George Harrison and Bob Dylan (60s). Jeff Lynne (70s). Tom Petty (80s). Wilburys (90s). Almost FIVE DECADES of Rock and Roll History right there. The ULTIMATE Supergroup. Their like will never be seen again.
With the legendary Jim Keltner on drums. If you're checking out Dylan, check out Blood on the Tracks, IMHO his finest work.
Desire is awesome too, as well as Infidels. :) I think Desire is my favourite.
NICE thats Roy's guitar in the rocking chair scene...rocking right along...how cool was that believe it or not Jeff produced or engineered the sound on some of the Beatles records...clout
Great band an song never gets old.👍🏻an you should check out the rest of there songs.👍🏻👍🏻
There is a short documentary on youtube about how they all happened to get together. It's super good. I'm sure you'll love it.
There are a couple documentaries here on youtube about this band forming & recording great footage and talk.
You need to check out Handle With Care and Inside Out, to name just two great T.W. songs.
Great Reaction.
Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan are the only two still alive.
This is from TW vol 1, Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever they thought of as vol 2, as Lynne Orbison and Harrison played on with TW vol3 to follow.
Good stuff, Silas!! 👍
Such incredible talent all in one room. All legends. You should definitely check out some ELO, like their song All Over the World and Mr. Blue sky.

Individually and collectively these were the very best singer songwriters! I absolutely adore them! ❤
Do an full album review of their first album. Traveling Wilbury's Vol. 1. Amazing album.
Hi Silas, happy new year mate. Would not want to be responsible for you missing out on your musical education. Please watch The Black Sorrows singing "never let me go" and the Teskey brothers singing "hold me" live at the forum 🇭🇲
Incredible, right?!
Yes we know who they are You don't we are watching you ! Yes Grasshopper
Tweeter and the Monkey man... 😎🎶🎵💥
You are watching legends being put in front of the classroom.
Silas, you MUST listen to "Handle With Care" next, legendary.
Learning guitar?!! Cool!!! Me too! (at 64 nearly 65, since just after my 61st) Look up Paul Davids 'Learn, Practice, Play' (1 course of 6 or 7). It's Guitar learning worth looking into as well as his myriad of UA-cam videos (check there first). 😁😁😁
