Play That Rock'n'Roll: Traveling Wilburys (Retrospective)

- The 23rd episode of Play That Rock'n'Roll is a look back at yet another '80s super-group. This one is made up of George Harrison, Tom Petty Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison. This episode will dive in to the career history of perhaps the greatest super-group of all time.
Didn't realize Roy was that young when he died only 52 years old. I'm 66 now and that's young, believe me! What a voice and in my humble opinion, the Wilbury's album stands the test of time. Lot's of people didn't appreciate what it took to make this happen at the time but 30 plus years later with 3 of the band members "traveling" on, to the other side, God bless em. It was special indeed! Give a listen and tell me I'm wrong. A happy brotherhood of musical talent and expression and having fun. Being a professional musician myself, I get it and I love it. Plus we've always got a music critic of sorts, to sort it out for us, but you know what, I do really appreciate it or else the Wiburys may have been forgotten or lost to the annuls of time. Via Con Dios my friends. Enjoy the moment!!!
Despite what I am going to call the negative comments on any of the Wilburys' music, members.....the first time I heard this band....I fell in love with the MUSIC. Then I found WHO the Wilburys were .....that was that. I matters NOT that there was no "heavy hit" on Vol. 3....they're voices all blended together perfectly, a bunch of guys who got together and made wonderful, fun to WATCH music.
Leave 'em alone....wonderful music to listen to.
But Roy 😪
Jim Keltner on drums, who played sax?🤷🎵🎶🎸🎤🎧
@@roseprulx2228 Bob Dylan on harmonica . George Harrison was not a rhythm guitarist.
Me too! Can't believe I just discovered them, so happy.
@@JoLeeR25 after he passed he was always remembered, starting with the "end of the line". He wasn't replaceable, I think they did right by him.
All their music sounded great...EVEN the 2nd. Never get tired of listening to the Willbury's. Loved 'em when I heard them for the first time right up to the present time.
I’m so pleased Mr Orbison was part of this amazing group.
The best part
when Roy sings it sends tingles down my spine. what an amazing voice.
They just supported each other, humble and kind, That is what has made all these guys, as talented as they are, Legends. Love them all, they all have been important in the average person's life.
This is what he didn’t understand when he kept talking about best vocals. They weren’t about who should sing or do whatever. It was all about friends having fun making music and whoever sings, sings! Very simple concept that some egos can’t understand.
The best supergroup ever. Who couldn't love their music. To just talk with these greats over dinner would be awesome beyond belief. Thank you gentlemen for the great music. Roy, may God Bless you for what you gave us sir. You gave us the greatest gift of all.
Truly, music that makes you feel good. End of the line was my favorite too.
Robert Budavich one of my favorite lines too! I don’t think the Wilburies did a bad song.
Hard to believe that the Wilburys came together 20 years ago. I agree that the term “Supergroup” is over-used but that the Wilburys certainly meet the definition more than any to carry the moniker.
RIP Roy, George and Tom and best wishes for continued success and long life for Bob and Jeff. There will never be another group to hold a candle to the Wilburys.
Charles Collier I saw Jeff Lynne in Nashville TN. Diana Harrison opened for him. Jeff and Diana sang ‘Handle with Care” and I bet it will be the closest anyone will come to seeing TW on stage.
30 years ago!

Oh my, you are so right. Great music, just having a great time playing together and writing songs together. What a great time for the 5 “ Wilburys “
No-one mentions the sixth Wilbury, literally the driving force behind the music; drummer Jim Keltner
Jim Keltner has been a premier rock studio drummer who has played with the Whos Who of Rock Musicians and Bands ever since 1970. By all accounts, he is not only one of the very BEST---he is a very likeable, and unassuming fellow. Along with Ringo Starr, he played on many of George's tracls from his first post-Beatles album, All Things Must Pass. He gave a moving tribute to George after his death Nov 29, 2001. He was a very dear and close friend of George';s. Yes----he is the SIXTH WILBURY! Glad you mentioned it, Max. Good Catch!
Maybe because that is how Jim likes it! Why people can’t understand that is the most mind boggling.
Jim does a great job.
Buster Sidebury!
EDIT:IIRC 😉

You got it.. he had a “ Wilbury Name”. Thank you so very much for your comment! ⭐️🧡⭐️
To many of his peers Jeff Lynne is the very best ever...Most versatile musician, singer, songwriter, producer and most humble man in pop or Rock.
Agreed, most underrated musical talent that I can think of. Can do it all and does it all so good! He doesnt have to be the star, but put him in any musical project and that project will sound GREAT!
Well said!
i loved the music of each Wibury before they were Wilburys, so when this "Super Group" came out it was a no brainer. They dont disappoint. I like heavy metal, hard rock, rock of all kinds and just just plain good music. Show me your instruments! Wilburys is good stuff like all the music made by each of the members before they formed. Jeff Lynne is my favorite tho , since I heard "Turn to Stone" as a young pup, changed my life. Made me want to make music
Personally at the time and even more now I think the first album is an amazing record,I don't listen to critics I just go with what my ears are telling me
I do not agree with some of the things that you said such as bob Dylan can’t sing....
But one thing I do agree with is that The Traveling Wilburys is the best superstar band ever
And that Roy Orbison has the best voice in music history... no one can replace him
🖤💜💙
Oh I agree! I have never been much an Elvis Presley fan, but I certainly don’t reject him like this clown “ interviewer” did with Bob Dylan!
Sad that they were together for such a short period of time. Great musicians, great music!
Honestly, thank you thank you thank you. There was a particular song that I was JUST wondering about, watched this, realized it was probably Tweeter & the Monkey Man, and now am listening to the first album. My God, nobody and I do mean NOBODY could sing like Roy Orbison.
And oh by the way, Tweeter was exactly the song I was thinking about. I remember NOW how much I love that song...
Cool! That song is quite the jam.
Amen
When Roy sang his parts in the sessions, they ALL stared in AWE. By all, you know, I mean Harrison, Dylan, Lynne and Petty... All of them, rock gods, staring at Roy's singing just like children at a Xmas tree!
I mean, the man had just that incredible gift. He was unbelievable. Listening him sing in the same room as you were had to be jaw droppingly breathtaking.
Bahahahahaha, Genius!! George had a lot of talent and energy, and I'm so glad they happened. It truly was magic
It’s too tiring.....George you are amazing. Simply fantastic. So straight forward n humble....
Just what is "too tiring"?
@@judithmagill1449
Touring. George Harrison says that @ 16:42. Obviously, you weren't paying attention.
I’ll be honest, in handle with care, Tom petty and Bob Dylan’s voices together was a perfect combination
I thought the same thing:D
Orbison’s voice is flight to the clouds, then suddenly you’re on a break stop on a Greyhound and there’s a couple of guys sitting on milk crates in the dust outside a gas station singing their faces off. Genius.
Thank you, I absolutely agree with you!! Well Said ⭐️🧡⭐️
Once again very well done my friend. I am going to see Jeff Lynne's ELO in Concert July 18 2019 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and Jeff asked Dhani Harrison (George's son) to do the first part. I am sure they will do one or two Traveling Wilburys song together. I saw Jeff Lynne's ELO last year...Best Concert of my life!
So did they do that?
@@dmann1115 Indeed they did!
How was the ELO Concert in July 2019
USMC 73-77 Among the 300 concerts I have seen in my life it was by far the very Best for the sound for the vocals and the visuals. At 72 Jeff Lynne is amazing.
@@JeffLynnesELO2024Tour do you know if ELO in 2021, will be on tour any where near Charleston, West Virginia?
5 front men,no egos. So true. Wonderful band. 💖💖
Yes, Roy had such a golden tone! He blew everyone he sang with away, can't think of anyone that really got close .
The band chose the lead singer based on the main writer of each song. Dylan wrote “Dirty World”, “Congratulations” and “Tweeter and the Monkey Man” which was why he sang lead. Roy Orbison didn’t write any of the songs. Jeff Lynne wrote “Not Alone Anymore” for him. They weren’t focused on what the critics and the public might think. They were simply enjoying making music together.
Way to go .. you said it succinctly! Thank you , 🎶🎼🕯️🕯️🕯️❤️❤️💖💖💖🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🦋🦋🦋🌅🌅🌅
How on God’s green earth can you possibly overlook Jeff Lynne as a stellar vocalist??
Jeff Lynne's voice is so unique and beautiful!
I once heard someone at my karaoke show say that most people could sing Jeff Lynne without much effort. I challenged him to do "Telephone Line". Dude's chords were done halfway through from chasing that high note. @@sarahloughlin3724
I love George so much. I loved his voice plus his sexy good looks, when I was a young girl and The Beatles appeared on the scene. They were very goodlooking so my eyes were wide open to cute guys. George's big brown eyes and his sweet smile did it for me. I have loved him for 55 years. His spiritual side and great guitar playing, especially slide guitar is wonderful. I also love this Super Group. Tom Petty put on the greatest, most exciting concert ever. I saw him several times and it was phenomenal! Roy Orbison was amazing with that beautiful voice. Jeff is a superstar all on his own, and Bob Dylan is one of the greatest songwriters of all times. The songs he sang with this group fit him perfectly.
Sounds like we saw the same shows 😉 ' I adored The Beatles' @ 8yrs old - #ELO was my high school. I saw Tom Petty from the front row @ TheFoxTheatre #Atlanta Ga 🍑at 19yrs •LovedLovedLovedLoved GeorgeHarrison #anything
#Orbisonsvoice •heavenly #LovedTheseGuys 🙌 #TravelingWilburys🏆‼
I feel the same about George Harrison, and i'm a 56 year old straight guy. lol.
George Harrison was an amazing man. And can't help but love his extremely good looks.
Must v been great attending to George concert , you ve been Luckly
I always ve thought he was a valid guitarririst with a good voice and i appreciate ( i remember ) when few of his songs were play Ed on music Channel here in Italy, but unluckly i belong to a generation that s been taken by ... other herds of New waves so we missed what was still Great, dedicating all the attention to other new bands of 80s and 90s
Now that i m old ( lol) I m more aware of How much Harrison was a great artista and a deep wise man
Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world...51 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post). ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...
George was one of the most tasteful guitar players in rock and never self indulgent; everything he played was designed to fit and complement the song - an example is his Chet Atkins/Scotty More type solo in All My Loving and his great descending lick in Badge by Cream. I was once told that I had a similar approach which I considered to be a great compliment. Music is mainly about producing an emotional experience together and that was the idea of these guys.Their individual stature was irrelevant. They had nothing to prove.
jack freeman Agreed! The Wilburies can never be topped!
This is the most magnificent band ever put together.💯💯💯😀😀
The label "supergroup" gets tossed around way so much, but these guys truly deserve that label.
a quick mention of jim keltner on drums would have been good.
You are absolutely correct! I dropped the ball on that point. Kelter is fantastic.
RIGHT ON
Quick disclaimer……. Am very partial toward Jim….got to know his son Eric….. actually kind of jealous of his upbringing…….I mean how cool is it that all these great rockers/people (George, Eric, Mick, Kieth etc) dig hanging out with your Dad
Jim is the man
Agreed. Keltner is amazing. It constantly annoyed me that in all the interviews Harrison never mentioned that guy in the back beating his brains out and driving the tunes they were setting out. I've heard his name for decades in unison with some of the most notable front line artists and groups including 'Beatles' in all shapes and forms. Possibly how George decided to have him in the Wilburys.. Thanks for mentioning Jim Keltner.
Love Travelling Wilburys very much.....what a great and joyous rock n roll band we ever have...
Thanks for all the collage , but you didn't catch the irony of what the Wilburys portrayed. They weren't trying to be the band with one strong vocalist, it was a collaborative project that ended up being extremely successful and fun for the band. Your comments about Dylan's vocals show that you really, really, really don't understand the concept of the Wilburys.
Indeed, the guy commenting the Travelling Wilbury's here, obviously feels threatened by Bob's charisma, immense authority, and ego-less-ness. Bob's voice goes right to the soul, it cuts deep and hits you hard. Not everybody is able to bear so much truth ( Nietzsche). I know Bob Dylan as a very gentle soul with a great heart. Trying to diss Bob only says something about the ego of the guy who commented this collage, and nothing about Bob or the Travelling Wilbury's🙏🙏
@@RebekkaEngels
You are quite spot on about Bob’s contributions to the Wilburys. “ Lucky Wilbury “ blends with everyone who is having a great time…. Just playing music together 🎼🎶🎵🎸🎧🎤
I liked your presentation very much👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 as a boomer who was in the midst of Beatlemania, & continued a devotee of each of the boys' solo careers, especially George's, you have chosen great clips, and your research is impeccable; your humor show through as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks very much!!
IMO Dylans vocals were the best he's done, and fit quite well in the songs.
inside out was my favorite song from the 2 albums... love both albums, listen to them often and always listen to Tom Pettys millions of songs and Georges Cloud nine album skips so bad I have worn it out ,,,lol Hope George, Tom and Roy are getting together in Heaven with another super band...
I have to say that Jeff Lynne's voice is very beautiful and unique!
I love “cool dry place”
If you’ve been housing a band’s gear for twenty years or so you can really relate.
I searched for Traveling wilburys vol2 like a mad man, then there was no internet to tell there nothing one.
After Roy died, George and Jeff were doing a live interview on the LA FM radio and other stations via Westwood One, introducing Voluime 3. George said that when Roy died right after the release of the first Traveling Wilburys album, there would never be a Vol 2----so they skipped to Vol 3! Typical sly George Harrison humor, with all good intentions: without Roy, there would never be a Vol 2....nor could there be.
I really love dylan's vocal in those four songs, and I think this is hes best vocal performance ever. Both albums are great.
Funniest thing for me is that im younger than any of those albums, :P nobody in my age listening to them :(
Alan Glad to see your name spelled correctly! Dylan is/was a legend, first musician whose name I was aware of, about 1963 when I was about 8. Not sure which 4 songs you are singling out, they Did more than that which were Great! Best Regards, David Alan Logan Sr.
Gorge Harrison is responsible. True talent, and Bob appreciates this ❤️
I loved this. Bob Dylan had a unique voice. My favorites were George Harrison and Jeff Lynne. Also we miss the original MTV. New subscriber too.
Long Live Jeff Lynne's ELO! My Music Hero.
I'm so glad I got the chance to see ELO live circa 76, at the then open air Universal Ampitheater in North Hollywood.,..fantastic show! My favorite Jeff Lynne/ELO go to song? Telephone Line. Its hits an emotional note deep in my soul; having been a musician myself for 5 decades and a few broken hearts later. If I go to a bar, and Telephone Line is on the jukebox, I am playing it! I saw an interview lately on UA-cam with Jeff...why he wears sunglasses all the time? He is very simple, and directly honest: "I am very shy, and always have been." He would rather be in the background than the front man---which is why he has become a great producer post ELO.
Loved The Travelling Wilburys and your respectful review.
Thanks very much!
The Wilburys ARE the definitive "super" group! Period! Never mind the tunes they penned and sang were/are some of the best produced....ever!
The Highwaymen were pretty good. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. I'd rather listen to the Wilburys, but that is one Hell of a lineup.
That was a great documentary, one of the best musical groups ever put together… thank you.
Jeff Lynn was one of the greatest singers of the group!
Jeff Lynne actually is the best in the group.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video..Locked in the whole time..Fella doing the story telling is just that telling the story, with facts, and opinion . Now.. people hold their favorite musicians close to the vest and can get there feelings skint, and that shows up in the comments..Shows how passionate they are, and that’s a good thing.
Hey Terry, thanks for that! This might be the nicest comment I've ever received. Thanks for watching!
Come on the song inside out is brilliant
I agree!! ... I've never thought Dillion could sing. And they so did under utilize Roy!! As you said, no one sings like Roy Orbison!!! Roy just nailed the song he recorded for the Wilbury's album. You're Not Alone Anymore.
Roy's voice is other worldly !
They're not all five rythm guitarists, GH is a lead guitarist
So is Jeff Lynne
One of the best lead guitarists in the history of the electric guitar in fact. Who redefined the use of slide guitar in rock music with inflections from halfway round the planet in India. Unbelievably important to pop music. When i went to Japan in 1998, and listened to the radio, i realized that almost every lead guitarist in Japanese pop at that time idolized Harrison. His influence can not be overstated.
uhh, none of them were lead guitarists? George Harrison was lead guitarist for the most influential band ever.
I know, I thought the same thing, wtf are you talking about, George was the best lead guitarist ever.
Yeah, but he had to get Clapton to play lead on his most famous guitar song. Eric made it weep. Gently.
He wasn't a lead guitarist in the same way Hendrix or Clapton were.
@@comfortat matter of opinion, I'd say, I'll take Harrison over Clapton or Hendrix any day, but that's just me.
@@RobyLaPorte I didn't say they were BETTER, I just said he's not the same kind of virtuoso guitarist.
I love George's guitar work.
@@comfortat I hear ya, bro, none of these guys are slackers! 😄
All of them, and more, have been major influences on my playing. Clapton is great, as you know, he and George were best of friends, hell, they even shared a wife! According to McCartney, when they were in the studio and George was trying to get them to pay some attention to gently weeps, he was ignored. George could have easily nailed that lead, but had Eric come in just to say fuck you to Paul and John. That was all when it was about to end. Each of them were ready to move on, sadly. I'm glad Eric did the lead, truly an awesome solo by a master. I love to watch the two of them play the song together in their Japan concerts, trading off the leads.
Hendrix, well, he was other worldly, another master gone too soon. I often wonder what he'd have come up with had he not left us. There's a great band in the sky, it'll be my first stop!
I am so glad we have this guy to tell us what to think. Wow! thanks a lot.
couldn't replace Roy but love the Del runaway.
Brilliant band.
They were smart to make the 2nd record w/o a Roy replacement. It was a nice gesture to Roy and showed the contrast with and w/o him and it holds up very well to this day. Btw, the box is hdcd, which gives a better sound than the initial cds if you have a player with hdcd codec and it is remastered and they throw in the videos and documentary. Good stuff all around. Love Jim Keltner's drumming too.
Dylan was great as always they were all good
8:48 “It’s a bit much.” That’s what I was thinking about this review-and he had another ten minutes to go! BTW, Harrison did play lead, on slide. I did enjoy the music. Now to hear the rest...
I do not appreciate the Bob Dylan snubs. I have no problem with his voice, he can carry a tune very well, and I like listening to him.
Roy O has a great falsetto voice, but I don't want to listen to him all day either. This was a great album, bringing out the best of all of them.
Let's try to enjoy the songs and be positive [for a change].
He didn't sing falsetto .
He just had a clear strong voice in a range higher than usual for a man.
Falsetto is something else.
@@TELE6220 Not from you,it seems.
3 short sentences with a subject,verb and object--->>>>===
3 capital letters"!"!"
3 full stops ...
Where do you like to place them?
@@ianrutherford878 Thanks for pointing that out, saved me the trouble! Orbison was a tenor.
That’s the problem with today’s music, I don’t believe you need to have a great voice, look at Hendrix you just need to have that soul.
DYLAN WAS THE BRAIN OF THE BAND
A brilliant band.
Runaway was a cover of the Del Shannon song from 1961. Del, another idol of the Wilburys, had died the year earlier, and this was their way of paying tribute. Jeff and Tom & The Heartbreakers were working on Del's final album, "Rock On!", with him when he died.
Runaway one of my fav all-time songs; so catchy!
Who else can pass out different magazines. Everyone picks a line. Puts them together and create a hit in two hours
The Traveling Wilbury's volume 1, is by far the best music I've ever heard. I had only heard 2 songs, handle with care, and end of the line, before finding the rerelease at a garage sale, and buying it for $1. Best $1 I've ever spent. Volume 1 has taken permanent residency in my cars CD player. Not one bad song, on the disc.
George plays lead BTW
and Tom played bass on at least some songs.
George does have a very cool voice. Better than Jeff though? No, not even close. Still, this was a very nice tribute video. Never will be enough Wilbury love, thanks!
Jeff has a great voice even at 71. ua-cam.com/video/XKElk9zTB04/v-deo.html
Jeff Lynne's voice is really beautiful!
II have saved this to watch tomorrow..need a dab ‘o sleep…love this.
Gail in Central FL 4/16 24
The world lost a beautiful voice when Roy Orbison left too soon!
Really good together
What stands out with each member of the Traveling Wilburys -- each of them were truly humble. That is why there was no ego trying to dominate the group, they supported each other. The greatest musicians of all time were truly humble people. George just loves to play with his like-minded friends for playing sake alone.
And sorry, but George Harrison was a lead guitarist, not a rhythm guitarist -- in fact George Harrison is listed in Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarists in one of the top ten slots, with another of his best mates in the number one spot, Eric Clapton. He modestly plays lead guitar with the Wilburys -- supporting his band mates.
I think they all knew they were great, talented, and successful, were all friends. and respected each other, so there was no need for egos. They'd already "made it" individually, there was no need for any of them to be top dog. Awesome group.
Thank you for that. George has incredible work ethic.
They all looked up to Dylan,a true genius
Don Master, they were all, starstruck with Orbison, & George (who by the way was the LEAD guitar player in the biggest, most influential band ever formed) was the driving force behind this band. Would not be the same band if any one of these guys weren't in this band.
Don't you dare knock Bob. ..! each one of these people are unique and their sound is unique and I think it goes together quite exceptionally....
What sets these guys apart from EVERYBODY was that they ALL were LEGENDARY song writers!
NO Dylan was not too much on this album. Dylan is Dylan and his voice has special qualities that few appreciate. Whiskey needs years to become smooth!
Absolutely well put ! Bob`s voice is a category in itself, few people realize that !
Dylan fans are willing to overlook any shortcomings he may have, because of his overall talents. He doesn't sing that well, especially when he was younger, he has a whiny nasally voice, but there are a lot of "rock stars" who can't sing. Dylans' total pop ackage is what makes him special. The lyrics, etc. are great. But compared to Lynn. Orbison, Harrison and Petty, his voice isn't on par. That doesn't make him any less talented or worthy. Dude is an icon.
Roy Orbison is the only human to exceed Jeff Lynne in modern times. I LOVE the entire band of friends.
This whole thing was a Cosmic Gift to all of us and to all of them even though none of us realize it at the time...... ! I grin every time I catch that Handle me with care video.! It is like my favorite song, every time I hear it again, and it makes me happy to know Roy made a came back as even I forgot about him, it was his vocals that hit me like a ton of bricks when I heard it again on the radio first then discovered the MTV stuff later..! Roy was The Man...! I can sing just like him, but I never built a band to do this as I was always into Prog. Now I enjoy covering some of this Wilburys material... And thanks for your comments about Bob. God love the mans music but he is not a vocalist...
Oh my goodness you must have a great voice if you sound like Roy!
I am still trying to get a few musicians together to create a fun acoustic show. But I need them "all" to be able to sing well, so we can also cover bands like the Beatles and CSN etc. I have been lucky with my voice... but getting too old to do this much longer...unless you are famous R&R is for the young.
I know, Roy had a golden voice...
No, Jeff had the best voice after Roy!
a wilbury:A gremlin; a mythological creature that is mischevious, mechanically oriented, and extremely devious.
Bob Dylan is one of the most unique voices in music. I think your to young too appreciate his talent.
Exactly!!!...I just posted my feelings when he dissed Bob Dylan. The reason why I like his voice is that it IS so different and unique. People think in order for a singer to be great they must hit all notes perfectly like a choir where everyone sounds the same and that's boring. I don't like Roy Orbison's voice. I don't like any of his songs but that's just me. I was born in '62 and got to grow up in that musical era that I think is phenomenal. I'm not into the 50's music myself but Dylan was and still is unique in his quirky off-key way. Even Jimi Hendrix said he liked the way Dylan sang. I guess to each his own.
I personally don’t think age has anything to do with it! It’s all a persons opinion. What you listen to is up to what sounds good to you! I am personally 15 at the time of writing this comment and my personal preference is classic rock music. There is no way in hell im “too young to appreciate talent”! Anyone no matter your age can recognize and appreciate talent! It’s just your preferences are different from others! Just because you think differently doesn’t mean he’s wrong or he’s too young!
Unique means there is only one of them.There is no 'more or less' unique.His voice is unique.In fact all voices are.But some sound similar to each other.His voice is instantly recognisable among recording artists,but I'm sure there are similar voices.His way of singing with that voice is also quite an individual style.
They WERE the best of the BEST..........,,..👍🏼 👏👏👏 😎
George Harrison was one of the best there ever was. Loved his voice and all his music, but frankly, you are wrong about the "best voice." Although I'm still pissed at Jeff Lynne for ripping me off on that ELO concert, with Roy gone he has the most powerful, rich and wide ranging vocals of anyone in that group.
Raystargazer Did Jeff rob you backstage?
elo did not fake that out of blue spaceship tour..i was there for 2 of those concerts..
@@mreloo They did in New Haven. I was there. Tickets were refunded. All the papers and TV stations announced it. Unlikely the venues would refund all that cash if they didn't have to.
Roy! Best voice, George, Dylan, Tom, awesome song writers. WTF it was never gonna last long but long enough to do 3 albums 🤘
@@orgillmathew What the hell! They did 2 albums only. They were just toying by naming it Vol 3 instead of 2. It was a joke. Look up George's interviews on the subject.
They all seem like nice blokes. The music is an absolute delight. Not that I thought so at the time, being in my early 20s when they arrived I took them as a bunch of old has beens! Not cool enough for me in those days...now with 60 not so far away, how wrong I was!
Although I agree the second album wasn’t as strong, I actually think Inside Out was also a standout on that record
The greatest compilation and collection of the rock n roll era by the greatest performers in World History - George Harrison, Jeff Lynn, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan - will never be repeated again, anytime, anywhere! Count your blessings whether you've lived during their time and/or a recent "discoverer" of their time!! :-)
É stato davvero un beatiful project /Great job of friends
I may perceive thought the Wilbury s videos that they were having a good time together
No need to show that in very tiring tours, Harrison was right
It s like a precious Stone in the history their collaboration
Ed é una enorme gioia vedere George felice, totalmente pago , rilassato tra colleghi Amici in un clima disteso, sereno
Ci manca ...
They were all great so why worry about what brought them together just be glad it happened
Simple question! Your 3 favorite Traveling Wilburys vol 1 songs. EASY!
1: Handle with Care
2: End of the Line
3: ......... eh.... I like Margarita, but Heading for the light is so catchy. And Dirty World always makes me smile, while Not alone anymore always makes me cry! All the songs are great. You can't choose between them!
3. Last Night
A great group, and first album was sensational!
If Roy, George and Tom had lived and managed to include the late Del Shannon, as George wanted to do-- it would have been phenomenal!
A bit much?
of Dylan what the heck is wrong with you ?
More Roy ✔️ - yes - more everyone - it was a one-off bit of musical history.
This guy is wrong! I love the way Dylan sings...anyone can sing all notes to perfection but Dylan's vocal's were so unique along with his lilt was unusual but to me, great sounding. I can't stand Orbison...just not my style but Harrison, Dylan, Petty and Lynne were my favourites. At least those are my feelings as a child of the 60's and growing up in what I consider the best musical era.
I'll trade you one Dylan vocals for one Orbison any day. However, as writers? Well that's another story.
When we was FAB...
Long time ago...
B-Movie Roll-Out -- While you can't admit to it, Dylan grows on you. He's not the best, but then you realize he is. Now what? Oh, and he's still out there winning every award on the planet. Maybe you can update for the Nobel.
The best rock group ever. Too bad they didn"t get together 20 years earlier...think of the great songs they might have produced.
No thumbs up... never insult Dylan. No subscribe, despite your showing of these amazing men. Dylan Taught the world to sing from the heart and soul, like Johnny Cash, Chris Christopherson, Arlo Guthry , and every other..... not for you to insult.
They are legends. One has a PULLITZER.
Jim keltner great drummer with personality
Even with Dylan's crappy vocals, I LOVE Tweeter & the Monkey Man. Lots of great stuff on the first album.
Agreed!
No crap in Dylan's voice. But playful, YES!! Guy makes me laugh !!
What about ,,"Congratulations?"
"Runaway" was originally done by another 1960's singer, Del Shannon who I always thought was somewhat similar to Orbison. He was actually rumored to replace Roy at one point but he sadly committed suicide eventually.
I did not know that! Thanks for the comment.
I think you will find that Jeff Lynne was involved in this revival of the song WITH Del Shannon....do a search...
@@BMovieRollOut It was hit in U.K.(BBC playlist...) I still remember that same organ solo hook.
Thats GOLD
George??? No way. Jeff Lynne has the best voice in the group after Orbison. No question. Full bodied and powerful.
For me, 2 of the best ever made LP. So much good songs, production perfect, these guys were good has CSNY. No doubt for me. But I am french :-)
5 grandes genios de la música por siempre felicidades
