The reason it all worked with these top artists is that they all respected each other and were fans of each other. The egos didn't enter into the whole thing. Fantastic!!! Can you imagine 'stars' of this time doing something like that?
@@SaeedReacts. I heard one observation that today's 'music' (loose definition of music) stars are almost all single individuals very few groups. Partly because they don't actual compose their music or play instruments so no need for a band.
@@steveullrich7737 thats garbage. Old men complaining about '' better times'' when bands were all straight white men. There are MANY groups still. Taylor Swift writes her own songs. Many of the beloved white straight male bands didn't write their own songs: many of Led Zeps were stolen from black artists and neither credited NOR paid until they were FORCED to pay their descendants in the 2000s, as one example. Same with Elvis, and LOTS of others. Tired of this nonsense coming up on endless posts.
@@SaeedReacts. there are team ups ALL the time. The fact people commenting use inverted commas for ''stars'' and ''singers'' is belittling and usually sexist. I thought YOU knew better than to fall for that. You've just happily covered a Taylor Swift song, for example... and there's been long standing knowledge that Rod Stewart, Elton and Freddie Mercury considered a supergroup but they've half-jokingly acknowledged that however much they loved each other, of COURSE there'd be ego problems...
You really need to listen to some ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), to understand Jeff Lynne's contribution as this was his band. Jeff also separately produced hits for George Harrison (Got My Mind Set on You, When we were fab), Tom Petty (Freefallin, I Wont Back Down), Roy Orbison (You Got it, I Drove All night), The Beatles (Free as a Bird) among many others.
Wow, Saeed, I had no idea you'd react to this, but it's great that you did. It makes me feel good that I played a part in bringing the Wilburys to your channel and they were a hit. How about reacting to another song and make it Wilbury Week? lol Thanks, again!
Thanks for introducing me to them! I recorded a reaction to The End Of the Line, just now. It's not uploaded yet, but should make it to the channel this week 😀
The song you must focus on is “My Back Pages” recorded by the Byrds (amazing group) written by Dylan. (Mid 60s) it has my favorite line ever written “I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now. “ a tribute concert to Dylan had this song as a feature with many artists. Iconic song. I love your enthusiasm because as an old poet, I love the lyricists.
@@alphajava761 that’s the one ! Thank you!!! That song is one I have referred to as my anthem song song the Byrds released it in the 60s. I have watched that tribute so many times and it is awesome. So again. Thank you!
@@SaeedReacts. Another song densely filled with thought provoking lyrics from Dylan and just up your alley! The suggested tribute is performed by an ensemble of many of the musical icons from the seventies. Some you've reacted to and some you might not yet have, Roger McGuinn (member of the Byrds), Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, George Harrison and Dylan himself.
Such a fun idea for a reaction vid! Couple things. Tweeter & the Monkey Man is kind of a loving parody of a Springsteen song. If you react to it, you’ll hear the references. Bob’s alias, “Lucky Wilbury”, is taken from his classic “Tangled Up in Blue”. I won’t spoil it for you. Also George was obsessed with Bob to the point of near worship. Great reaction video, sir!
Thank you Saeed, that was great! I found it interesting that the final scene of them recording the vocals, Roy was the last to leave the room, but the first to leave us!😢
Saeed, thank you so much for being the very first Reacter to bring this documentary to us, bravo!! It stirred up so much emotions inside of me, good emotions. ❤
Hi Saeed😊. What a documentary! They worked so well together. No egos. And that look of awe and appreciation on your face says it all, so there's no need for me to say more. Great reaction, dear friend. Much love to you and your family ❤️ 🫂.
I'm glad you have got to check this out so soon after being introduced to the band. I didn't see it until their collection (both albums and a DVD with the videos and this doc) came out a decade or so ago. I originally bought the first album on cassette when it came out and the second one on CD. The newer CDs in the collection include some bonus tracks not on the original releases. I have often wondered if Roy, George and Tom would have kept getting together with Jeff and Bob for more releases had they had the chance. The eternal "what if?" May you have a great time continuing to diving into their songs.
@SaeedReacts. I used to play that same game with The Beatles after they broke up. Then I decided to keep appreciating what they had produced together while getting to know and love a lot of their solo stuff.
I remember this time when their albums came out, when I heard a new one was coming out, I would jump with Joy and eagerly await weeks or months for the album to be out on Vinyl ... the immediacy, the absolute joy from them and authentic sound coming out is only surpassed maybe by "the basement tapes", nothing else comes close. Giants of music getting together like this is so rare... I'm glad I could listen to this as it happened! and I valued that as much as I do now !
EXCELLENT MAN, EXCELLENT SAEED!!! 💯😊YEAH YOU SHOULD DO SOME ( ROCK DOCS ) FOR SURE 👍BUT NOWWWW YOU KNOW ABOUT ( END OF THE LINE ) A BIT NOW, IT WAS REALLY GOOD
Nobody has ever reacted to this, even though everyone is amazed at the artists involved in this band. Excellent job! Also, the name came from George - apparently whenever the Beatles made a mistake while recording they'd say "never mind we'll bury it in the mix", which became Willbury.
💓 Saeed .. I love every single song. I know them all well. Your reactions are going to be highly anticipated by me. My heart is fluttering .. thank you. 🌿🌿🌿🍀💚🍀🌿🌿🌿
That spirit of just good friends hanging out and creating great music comes through so well in their music. I can just imagine that if they toured they'd have to bring Dave Stewart's refrigerator for Jim Keltner to play 😅
- First i like your uncut videos with all the mistakes, jokes, laughter etc. - I googled it, yes it is Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics. - Thank god that Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan (he is on tour in Germany in these days) and Jim Keltner (the drummer) are still alive, till this moment!
George played with Bob on some Self Portrait/New Morning sessions in 1970 that are a part of this story, long before the Wilburys. There’s a version of Time Passes Slowly with George playing guitar and singing background vocals that’s much better than the album version. There’s also a recording of those two playing Yesterday that’s quite good (and very surprising, given the recent Beatles breakup). They collaborated on I’d Have You Anytime from Harrison’s masterpiece All things Must Pass, and of course George recorded an amazing version of Bob’s tune If Not For You for the album too. All highly recommend.
@@SaeedReacts. You mentioned your interest in the creative process. There is a revisit documentary "What We Left Behind. A Look Back at Star Trek Deep Space Nine" (on most free streaming channels). Much of it is interviews with cast and fans. But salted throughout the show is a visit to the writers room with several of the original creators. The premise was to write the 'what happened next after so many years' episode. You don't have to be a fan of the show to appreciate the creative process of writing the outline of such an episode.
Dave Stewart, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks are all friends. One of their associates was not treating Stevie well, so Dave and Tom went over to Stevie's house, kicked the boyfriend out, and told him, "Don't Come Around Here No More!' and Dave thought it would make a good lyric to a song. True Story.
We live in East Tennessee and my daughter and I play the spoons. We used to go to a volunteer fire departments and meet up. The washboard , spoons wooden chickens etc.
React to End of the Line. Roy Orbison was there to record it but died before they actually did the video and you'll see how they handled it in the video unfortunately there are only two still alive Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne of course Jeff Lynne is from ELO
I have never found this! Thanks so so much ❤ George has always been my favorite Beatle. Because he’s quiet but devious, like me lol. Tom Petty. Wildflowers. Do it.
One of the best Supergroups ever!! Just a few good friends that wanted to jam together. Last Night is the song at around 10:00. Tweeter and the Monkey is amazingly quirky. Some say it was a Bruce Springsteen dig but it's not. It's full of Springsteen song references out of respect. Dylan is one of Springsteen's musical and lyrical inspirations.
Saeed, I'm sure I'll not be the first, but I recommend that you sit back, play this album from beginning to end and you'll have a hard time wiping the smile from your face. It's so relaxed and happy that it can lift even the lowest of spirits.
If you hadn't previously heard of Jeff Lynne then maybe you could check out ELO. My favourite band. Still touring, with the very final concert scheduled for Summer of 2025.
Typical that their 2nd album was called 'Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3' as a joke. 😅😊 I'm not at all acquainted with that one. Puh-thetic. 😮 Couldn't believe my eyes and ears when they came on Muchmusic - Canada's MTV - one night when I was on the graveyard shift at the Toronto TV station where I worked at the time. I learned 'Handle With Care' and performed it with a pickup band backing a woman singer and bar-owner I knew with her son on drums and my old friend and bassist not long after. My son, now 36, just married a year ago was less than a year old. Ah, life. I'm of two ½ minds about the whole thing. 😊 🖖🏼🥹🎶✌🏼😁🎵❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
Nice! I’m gonna watch this cause I’ve never seen it! What a bunch of heavyweights these guys are. You might not know Jeff Lynne (ELO) but he kinda made lots of things happen because everybody was overjoyed to work with him. They would have all had an utmost respect for the big “O”! Thanks Saeed.
The way Tom Petty met Jeff Lynne is interesting. They pulled up to a red light together one day and Tom nearly lost his mind over who was next to him. He yelled at him and they went and hung out a bit !! So many stories of how famous people got together. I have a musician friend who is retired now, that I love hearing his stories of who he met, and who he played with over his career !! Awesome !!
For your own enjoyment check out sometime the music documentary "My Back Pages". In the late '60's the media was trying to pit Bob Dylan against the Beatles. In London, they met and you can see how George Harrison and Dylan formed a bond. The same thing didn't happen with McCartney and Lennon. George and Bob did try to get together to create some songs but for some reason it didn't work out. As a teenager, I always thought Roy had more talent than Elvis. In the movie, "I Walk the Line", Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Roy toured together. Elvis admired Roy maybe for his voice but Roy wrote most of his own songs. Bob Dylan admired Orbison growing up and Tom Petty admired Dylan. They must have thought in the back of their minds, I'd like to perform with them some day, not for business but just for fun. I don't know much of Jeff Lynn but he went into the producing part of the industry after a couple of hits. Bob Dylan has always been a critic of the music industry and the media. On the back cover of "The Traveling Wilburys" he lays it all out as ge spins the fictional story of the 'Five Brothers By Different Mothers' which is a phrase when you meet someone who you click with and start talking about how you were raised and you find a lot of similarities. All these guys had the same bond. I checked out a DVD of this and on the back they left out Dylan's minor protest. I know one thing, if you want to impress Dylan don't try to B.S. him. Roy Orbison despite all his success, fell on hard times later in life. His house burnt down and he was broke, heavily in debt. No one remembered how great he once was and most of his 'business associates' didn't help him. Roy was too proud to accept charity but Harrison and Dylan felt they owed him for inspiring them like an older brother would have.That everything clicked was a minor miracle as George hinted at in the opening. That Harrison over the years had a hard time connecting with Dylan shows how good friends they were. Of all the Beatles, Harrison, I felt, had the most talent although Lennon and McCartney got most of the press. Another thing about Dylan is you don't get to perform with him unless he respects you as an artist. He has done duos with Johnny Cash, Paul Simon, Norah Jones, Roger McGuinn (the Byrds), David Crosby, Joan Baez Tom Petty and maybe others no one has recorded. I feel as a poet, someone will write a song or a book and think, "WOW! I wish I wrote that!" I think Dylan thought that himself when he sang "Sounds of Silence" with Simon. Dylan knew how lonely the streets of N.Y. could be. That "End of the Line" came out just after Orbison's death is erie. The whole message is sort of spiritual happening without the preaching and the sermons. Whenever I become depressed that song helps me to put things into perspective. Another song suggestion, is George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" but not the Beatles but the tribute one which features Eric Clapton, McCartney, Lynn, Danny, (George's son) and of all people, Prince. This is most people's preference but my personal best cover is Carlos Santana's. It tells a story but it is a Latin one, it's a great video. Santana did a whole album of his favorite songs written by other people. I always make a mental slip when writing Santana, who my cousin knew, and the famous philosopher George Santayana whose wisdom came in chaotic times, as the '60's and '70's were and as we are all experiencing now. Some of the best literature came out of the 1930's. It seems chaos produces the genius in humanity. It was that way with Aristotle and Confucius, also. I have no idea what you intend to write but work on it. Your curiosity tells me it will be good. I just hope you write it before I die, your life seems to be so busy. Just do it!
Dylan and Petty wrote it as a kind of a fun send up of Springsteen. That’s why it’s full of New Jersey references. Springsteen was called the “next Dylan” when he came up and I’ve sure Bob loved being able to needle him a little.
hi, in France we have 2 historical figures who surpass all others and even Napoleon Bonaparte. They are our pride, our national hero. A certain Mark Twain wrote for one that she is the most extraordinary human being that our planet has ever known. Please can you react "Joan of Arc, savior of kingdom of France" and "Louis lX the crusader king" of the Cajun cutthroat channel and you will understand what it means to "be proud to be French and what's more, you will do honor to the French people. THANK YOU👍🤞🤞
I heard you say once that you learned a.lot of your English from watching gangster movies. It really showed here. I think you said “I seen” at some point. That is indeed what a gangster would say in a movie. It’s also incorrect grammatically. ………if you care about that sort of thing….it’s “I saw”. If you don’t care…well then great: You sound just like a “gangsta “. 😊
RIP George, Tom & Roy. What a great collaboration this was.
The reason it all worked with these top artists is that they all respected each other and were fans of each other. The egos didn't enter into the whole thing. Fantastic!!! Can you imagine 'stars' of this time doing something like that?

That is a great observation. Thanks for checking this out with me.
Roy Orbison toured with Elvis in 1955 (and Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins). and then he toured with the Beatles in the UK in 1962.
You are right. Dave Stewart wrote songs for a lot of people in the 80s, including Tom and Stevie Nicks, in addition to his Eurythmics duties.
Check out TOM PETTY's DON"T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE> a Stewart penned hit from 1982ish.
Saeed, thank you so much for being the very first Reacter to bring this documentary to us, bravo!!
It stirred up so much emotions inside of me, good emotions. ❤

I recorded my reaction before i saw this comment and noticed that chair!
Hope to get it uploaded soon.
Interesting after what happened to the Beatles that George's main concern was they all remained friends.

minds, I'd like to perform with them some day, not for business but just for fun. I don't
know much of Jeff Lynn but he went into the producing part of the industry after a
couple of hits.
Bob Dylan has always been a critic of the music industry and the media. On the back
cover of "The Traveling Wilburys" he lays it all out as ge spins the fictional story of
the 'Five Brothers By Different Mothers' which is a phrase when you meet someone
who you click with and start talking about how you were raised and you find a
lot of similarities. All these guys had the same bond. I checked out a DVD of this
and on the back they left out Dylan's minor protest. I know one thing, if you want
to impress Dylan don't try to B.S. him.
Roy Orbison despite all his success, fell on hard times later in life. His house burnt
down and he was broke, heavily in debt. No one remembered how great he once was
and most of his 'business associates' didn't help him. Roy was too proud to accept
charity but Harrison and Dylan felt they owed him for inspiring them like an older
brother would have.That everything clicked was a minor miracle as George hinted at
in the opening.
That Harrison over the years had a hard time connecting with Dylan shows how
good friends they were. Of all the Beatles, Harrison, I felt, had the most talent although
Lennon and McCartney got most of the press. Another thing about Dylan is you don't
get to perform with him unless he respects you as an artist.
He has done duos with Johnny Cash, Paul Simon, Norah Jones, Roger McGuinn (the
Byrds), David Crosby, Joan Baez Tom Petty and maybe others no one has recorded.
I feel as a poet, someone will write a song or a book and think, "WOW! I wish I wrote
that!" I think Dylan thought that himself when he sang "Sounds of Silence" with Simon.
Dylan knew how lonely the streets of N.Y. could be.
That "End of the Line" came out just after Orbison's death is erie. The whole message
is sort of spiritual happening without the preaching and the sermons.
Whenever I become depressed that song helps me to put things into perspective.
Another song suggestion, is George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
but not the Beatles but the tribute one which features Eric Clapton, McCartney, Lynn,
Danny, (George's son) and of all people, Prince. This is most people's preference but
my personal best cover is Carlos Santana's. It tells a story but it is a Latin one, it's
a great video. Santana did a whole album of his favorite songs written by other people.
I always make a mental slip when writing Santana, who my cousin knew, and the
famous philosopher George Santayana whose wisdom came in chaotic times, as
the '60's and '70's were and as we are all experiencing now. Some of the best
literature came out of the 1930's. It seems chaos produces the genius in humanity.
It was that way with Aristotle and Confucius, also.
I have no idea what you intend to write but work on it. Your curiosity tells me
it will be good. I just hope you write it before I die, your life seems to be so busy.
Just do it!
Sure, the short documentary is fine. But if you want to know the real history of the Wilburys, one must consult the official album liner notes:
The original Wilburys were a stationary people who, realizing that their civilization could not stand still forever, began to go for short walks - not the “traveling”, as we now know it, but certainly as far as the corner and back. They must have taken to motion, in much the same way as penguins were at that time taking to ledges, for the next we hear of them they were going out for the day (often taking lunch or a picnic). Later, we don’t as yet know how much later, some intrepid Wilburys began to go away for the weekend, leaving late Friday and coming back Sunday. It was they who evolved simple rhythmic forms to describe their adventures.
A remarkable sophisticated musical culture developed, considering there were no managers or agents, and the further the Wilburys traveled the more adventurous their music became, and the more it was revered by the elders of the tribe who believed it had the power to stave off madness, turn brunettes into blondes and increase the size of their ears.
As the Wilburys began to go further in their search for musical inspiration they found themselves the object of interest among many less developed species - nightclub owners, tour operators and recording executives. To the Wilburys, who had only just learnt to cope with wives, roadies and drummers, it was a blow from which many of them never recovered.
A tiny handful survived - the last of the traveling Wilburys - and the songs gathered here represent the popular laments, the epic heroic tales, which characterize the apotheosis of the elusive Wilbury sound. The message of the music travels, as indeed they traveled and as I myself must now travel for further treatment. Good listening, good night and let thy Wilbury be done…

Thanks for taking the time to share this! Much appreciated!
@@SaeedReacts. It was written by the great Michael Palin of Monty Python for the album. Funniest liner notes ever.
I’ve always thought Tweeter and the Monkey Man was Dylan’s. I’m thinking Springsteen covered it.
If he did, that would be completely meta!
A Canadian band, The Headstones, did a rocking version of it.
Dylan and Petty wrote it as a kind of a fun send up of Springsteen. That’s why it’s full of New Jersey references. Springsteen was called the “next Dylan” when he came up and I’ve sure Bob loved being able to needle him a little.
YOU GOTTA DO ( LAST NIGHT ) BUT DO THE VIDEO, IT'S FUNNY STUFF SAEED! 💯😊
Interesting ! Thanks for watching, Bob!
hi, in France we have 2 historical figures who surpass all others and even Napoleon Bonaparte. They are our pride, our national hero. A certain Mark Twain wrote for one that she is the most extraordinary human being that our planet has ever known. Please can you react "Joan of Arc, savior of kingdom of France" and "Louis lX the crusader king" of the Cajun cutthroat channel and you will understand what it means to "be proud to be French and what's more, you will do honor to the French people. THANK YOU👍🤞🤞
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Yeah….slow down. Listeners will find you because of the quality of your reactions, not volume.
Thank you for this comment. ❤️
I heard you say once that you learned a.lot of your English from watching gangster movies. It really showed here. I think you said “I seen” at some point. That is indeed what a gangster would say in a movie. It’s also incorrect grammatically. ………if you care about that sort of thing….it’s “I saw”. If you don’t care…well then great: You sound just like a “gangsta “. 😊
I can be a bit of a "language gangster" at times :)
NOBODY was ever, or will ever be better than Tom Petty
