I got this album for my dad "frank" when it came out, he loves all things Wilbury .He is 84 and has "Parkinsons." when Tom Petty Died he was gutted. he said to me that there are only 2 Wilbury's left. Del was going to take Roy's place, but that wasn't to be. Depression took Del. .look after those near to you, 'cos you never know what tomorrow might bring.
Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne always seem to be having so much fun and puting a humourous touch on everything. At 2:30 Tom starts dancing back and forth while putting funny faces and then Jeff turns around and starts slapping his bottom and even Del joins him. Funny duo.
great posting this brought a tear to my eye i toured with Del in the 70s was in band with him when he recorded live in England album in 72 and this just highlights the enormous and highly respected talent Del had we all loved him to bits a very sad loss..
Del is my favorite singer. I was about eleven years old when "Runaway" came out. I'm sorry to hear him using foul language during this production. His music was so innocent and endearing. Suicide was not his best choice. It's a shame.
Thanks so much for this video...Del Shannon was a great talent, a one-of-a-kind artist. His tragic end should not overshadow how much his fans everywhere loved him and his music.
You're cousin was such an amazing talented man. I know it's been over 20 years since his death,but I am so sorry for your loss. Del's music will live on forever and he'll always be one of my biggest musical influences. God bless the entire Westover family.
Why would he be in the middle of recording an album working with Petty and Lynne and kill himself? Did you ever wonder ...was Prozac such a suicidal drug that he'd take his life...it doesn't make sense.
YES , JAMES , DEL SHANNON ( CHARLES WESTOVER ) WAS A GREAT TALENT IN HIS FIELD OF MUSIC , A GREAT SINGER , SONGWRITER , GUITARIST & A VERY GOOD PRODUCER . YES , IT WAS A VERY TRAGIC LOSS ON HEARING OF HIS DEATH & THE WAY THAT HE DIED !! WE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT !! OVER HERE IT WAS ALL OVER THE FRONT PAGES OF THE MORNING NATIONAL PRESS !! ----- WE UNDERSTOOD THAT HE WAS DUE TO COME OVER HERE FOR A * SELL OUT TOUR OF UK. ------ NO ONE COULD GRASP WHAT HAD HAPPENED !! YES , JAMES , ALL OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU & ALL THE FAMILY INCLUDING HIS WIFE . YES , DEL WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS LONG AS THE WORLD REMAINS !! JOHN IN UK.
this is great,,watchn del in the studio..your there real inside stuff..jeff..elo..loved del too..play dels... for a little while ...good song never played shame really..he got ripped off by those music demons..rock on.
Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Del Shannon, rare glimpse inside studio! : making Shannon's 1981 album, Drop Down & Get Me." "I Go to Pieces", "Walk Away.", etc. Shannon was rumored to possibly replace Roy Orbison in Travelin' Wilbury's when he passed away. Blog: beatlely.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/del-shannon-keep-on-searchin/
Actually this is from 1989 when Del Shannon was working on what would be an album called Rock On! which was released posthumously in 1991 after his death in Feb 1990
Well done [again] Keith. This video gives a great insight into 'behind the scenes' Del - including his propensity for using the 'F' word. He looked so much on top of his game here and this was filmed, presumably, not long before he decided he'd had enough. Tragedy.
Where a voice and a falsetto are one/ Jeff Lynne brought out a "little more." I can see why Lynne was so fascinated because their styles have some cross-over
It's weird, but I keep forgetting that Tom Petty died. His last album and a few before it, seemed to have been statements about the small hat forces that controlled the entertainment biz.
God bless Jeff Lynne ! RIP dear Del and Tom !! Never forget !!!
and that album is called "ROCK ON" an absolute masterpiece.a must have....rock on Del.
I got this album for my dad "frank" when it came out, he loves all things Wilbury .He is 84 and has "Parkinsons." when Tom Petty Died he was gutted. he said to me that there are only 2 Wilbury's left.

This is lovely! What a voice. Feeling very nostalgic for Tom and Del.
Del Shannon sings with so much heart and sincerity!! May he rest in peace.
sorry but he has no time to rest..hes making music in heaven!!
Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne always seem to be having so much fun and puting a humourous touch on everything. At 2:30 Tom starts dancing back and forth while putting funny faces and then Jeff turns around and starts slapping his bottom and even Del joins him. Funny duo.
I love how they seem more like friends than just fellow musicians. It's really nice to see. Del is the greatest. I miss him every day
great posting this brought a tear to my eye i toured with Del in the 70s was in band with him when he recorded live in England album in 72 and this just highlights the enormous and highly respected talent Del had we all loved him to bits a very sad loss..
Denis Mcnulty what did you play in the band?
met him many times
Drop Down and Get Me Is my new favorite album. Thank you Tom and Del. This video just caps it off.
Jeff, Tom and Del ...beautiful music
Big love for Del Shannon, he was what R n' R was all about.
oh, thank you so much. "rock on" is one of my all-time favourite records. seeing Jeff and Tom doing their thing is a delight.
When Life became too much, Del singing, kept me going. I owe Del my Life.
Del's 'Rock On' CD... so beautiful and sad.... the heartbreak in 'When I Had You' & 'Who Left Who'... a true rock opera.
Del was so relaxed and cool.
Great. What a talent. So glad I he was in my time. Sadly missed
God I keep playing this over & over it's just listening and earning there art of making a record. They are so talented.
This is priceless..the shortest 15 minutes ever.. Thanks
And now Tom Petty has hit that music studio in the sky...RIP
Love Jeff Lynne/ELO. ELO sounds like the Four Seasons,Beach Boys and The Beatles all rolled up in one neat package.
I just can't get enough of Jeff Lynne!
Great artists at work. Thank you for uploading.
I have never seen this before - thanks so much for posting it! Absolutely amazing. Rest sweetly, Del.
Awesome feelings my friend…yeah we love them..
Del is my favorite singer. I was about eleven years old when "Runaway" came out. I'm sorry to hear him using foul language during this production. His music was so innocent and endearing. Suicide was not his best choice. It's a shame.
i think the swearing was just letting himself go..a true gent
Genius at work, spontaneous ideas, zip zip, one after another. Del sure knew how to rock. I respect him more and more. Miigwech, spasiba, thanks!
Thanks so much for this video...Del Shannon was a great talent, a one-of-a-kind artist. His tragic end should not overshadow how much his fans everywhere loved him and his music.
Pure talent. What else can you say? Why do all the great singers smoke LOL ... D2l Shannon, Carl Wilson, so many....
2:55 "Is that enough giving spanking? ... okay (laughing)" - so funny!
I love hearing some rock & roll history from Del!
Insightful, intimate look at one of rock's greatest artists ever. Thanks!!
Having fun with friends like these guys is heavenly… a dream come true…. RIP 2 of you dears
I can not thank enough for this...looooove it.

James Westover Are you related to Del?
no voice ever matched dels..a one off
A great talent, like youth, sadly missed.
If he could have only known how much his fans would love this album.
Del seems so intensely serious. Beautiful voice. It makes my tummy hurt seeing Tommy and Howie all healthy and happy................
One of my favorites
/////////the best R&R there has ever been. Miss you Del. Ken in England.
Del, the greatest, always. Rock on DEL.
Same location that was used to record Roy Orbison's album Mystery Girl.
And probably "Full Moon Fever."
+TurgeonFan77132 Yeah and George Harrison's Cloud Nine.
Not sure about Cloud Nine. I think this is Mike Campbell's garage.
This was great to see - thanks so much for putting it up.

This is pure goldust
I get to be a fly on the wall. Glad I buzzed in!
@permanentbromac your welcme, nice to hear from you!!
Sad how many people in this video wound up taking their life by their own hand.
Pills, smack or a gun the end result was the same.
nice video...thx for posting
A new album with Lynn and Petty and probably would have been in the Wilburys ... so much to live for and yet we are to believe he killed himself?
Del was to be the next Willbury...what a loss
I got You almost sounds like a George Harrison song,melody, chords and slide guitar thing..
Well done [again] Keith. This video gives a great insight into 'behind the scenes' Del - including his propensity for using the 'F' word. He looked so much on top of his game here and this was filmed, presumably, not long before he decided he'd had enough. Tragedy.

Those people have an Wicked sense of humor.
Are Those
people of the thirteen tripe...
Boom
6:45 sounds like a John Lennon song in the making.
Surprised to see these guys smoking cigarettes. Smoking plays hell with my voice.
rockinb , can u explain why u have disabled the statistics on this clip , I am interested to know u reasoning
It's weird, but I keep forgetting that Tom Petty died. His last album and a few before it, seemed to have been statements about the small hat forces that controlled the entertainment biz.
Why is Dell "fake smoking"
Maybe his best, every song is on - notice almost all his songs are about being 'insincere' women
jeff lynn yuk! he also ruined edmunds with that constant jittery noise
