Americans don't appreciate Jeff Lynne enough. Jeff is an absolute musical magician. His voice, his writing, his mastery of sound... Thanks Jeff. I grew up with ELO and your various projects. Im a better and more musical person because of what you taught me when listening to your works.
I beg to differ. I've been a lifetime fan. Funny enough a young generation is appreciating ELO from the Guardians of the Galaxy. Better late than never I suppose.
Martin Mitchell -- Absolutely ! No one has that perfect, smooth, able to go so seamlessly from high note to falsetto, and you cannot even tell,; and also a strong and deep voice, as this man...
He also had a similar experience with Tom Petty when he brought over ukuleles to play together... :) And then, George left Tom Petty with many ukuleles; he had a boot full of them in his car, according to Tom...
George was devoted to Tom, and hero-worshipped Dylan. Because I adore George, I'm delighted that he got to play with the hero of his youth and include the excellent musicians of his day
I have had this thought through the years - no matter who you are, whether Jimmy Page, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson even, or any possible musician you can think of - there are always, ALWAYS four guys that are in front of you, today, tomorrow and forever. Those bums!!!!! :) FABS4EVER
Jeff Lynne, what a beautiful person inside and out, I’m a fairly recent fan, love his voice and guitar work and all his involvement in ELO and the Travelling Willburys,
Talk about two peas in a pod. I'm so glad they became good "mates". So much alike. Talented, humble, adorable, down to earth. Love those guys. Miss George so much
Jeff Lynne is so humble, in my eyes probably the best musician in the world! He has every base covered im so grateful I grew up with ELO they were always there when I needed them the most. The music got me through so many changes in life! God Bless and peace on earth!
I think George’s singing on “Handle with Care” is the best of his career. He said in an interview that Jeff Lynn had such a good voice that he (George) was inspired to sing his very best for the Wilburys. Not to mention that Roy Orbison was there too.
I've always loved Jeff Lynn going all the way back to ELO! He is one of the most talented guys walking the Earth. He plays so many different instruments, has produced so many fantastic albums! No wonder him and George we're best friends!
Jeff Lynne is so talented and modest at the same time. The best overall musician we have ever known said Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, George Harrison and so many other Music Legends...
Petty said that at Jeff's Hollywood Walk of Fame Induction Ceremony speech, it's on UA-cam. I'm not aware of Harrison or Walsh saying it--although we obviously know they hold Jeff in very high esteem. Please provide links to Harrison and Walsh saying it. And you also said many other music legends have said it about Jeff. Who?
That made me get a bit weepy. It's always a joy to watch a Jeff Lynne interview. I can always picture him as a small kid. Meaning he still seems to have an innocence and humbleness about him. Thanks for all of the gorgeous music Jeff!
Awesome people and beautiful friends. And previously Jeff asks George to call Bob Dylan to join the 'Travelling Wilbury's', George being shy he did and the Travelling Wilbury's were created. I think the reason George had such a bond with Jeff was that in the Beatle days George was the engineer of the Beatles. His Guitar skills were always drawn in by both Paul and John! After the Beatles split both Lennon and McCarney wanted George to be their backup guitarist and many years later in life born in the same town as George I realised that George was the 'Engineer' of the Beatles.
When you get right down to it, George Harrison was the humblest Beatle, always ready to give; Jeff Lynne is so tremendously multifaceted. Even Macca complimented him once.
TheFlowerthiefMusic - I noticed that as well while watching the video. When I first heard Free As A Bird, it immediately hit me that George was inserting his love of Ukes…
Imagine bringing Bob Dylan and Tom Petty to your house for a bbq and saying hey how about Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne George struck absolute gold by being a breezy guy It's alright don't worry just Flow ;; Wilburys RiP
The Creation of The Travelling Willburys. Only the likes of George Harrison could have pulled off those greats coming together, dropping their own individual egos, to create that vol. 1 masterpiece.
Jeff , with a wall of gold and platinum records behind him , being a bit uneasy going to George’s spread to play ukulele’s . 🤣 I have a friend -Chris Trapper -who is one of the greatest ukulele players ! RIP George , sorely missed.
WOW THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF FOOTAGE AMAZING 🥰 JEFFE LYNNE YOU ARE A WONDERFUL FUNNY MAN AND GEORGE HARRISON THERE AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS ❤️🦋🌈 RIP GEORGE HARRISON ANOTHER LEGEND ❤️🦋🌈
When these guys were young, particularly Harrison, George Formby was a huge star in England with his banjo uke. George was a passionate collector of ukuleles. I have a friend who worked for Mandolin Brothers in New York years ago when Harrison came in one day, just by himself, and played several ukes, buying a couple. No big deal, just a Beatle in the freaking store! Banjo ukes are just what they sound like - banjos tuned like ukuleles.
Jeff Lynne is the most talented Music God ever. He will be 71 in 2018 and his voice is Gold. All his live concerts sound as good if not better than the original recordings...Not many bands and musicians can match that. Just have a listen from Jeff Lynne's ELO at Wembley Stadium June 24 2017... Can't wait to see Jeff Lynne's ELO on the 2018 Europe and North American Tour. I just received my tickets for LA , NY and Toronto Canada. It will be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have had numerous dreams that I am talking with Jeff. Interviewing, going on short tours thru his home studio (fictionalized of course) and even helping on mixing projects! Strange that I never have dreams with any other musicians or composers -- etc. I still wish I could meet him someday.
Gracias por compartir y darnos a conocer este vídeo, de estos 2 grandes artistas irrepetibles, únicos y su música extraordinaria, se ve que se llevan de maravilla, George rip 🙏, y larga vida para Jeff.😍
Good friends sharing the joy of life and happiness together, timeless and as classic to me as any of either of their individual work in music. Just sharing man, we need more friends to share these kind of times with. Cherish what you have and the time we get to spend with those we care for so much. Blessings to these guys for the example of it. Thanks for this video, its therapy to the soul.
Without a doubt the most touching moment of the Concert For George was the last number when Joe Brown played I'll See You In My Dreams while strumming on his uke - with full orchestral backing. Rose petals were released from the ceiling to drift down on the audience. It was hard to keep one's emotions in check at that moment.
Ah, the wonders of the UA-cam algorithm. When I woke up this morning, I had no idea that by the end of the day I would have seen George Harrison and Jeff Lynne jamming on Banjo-Ukeleles. Better 12 years late than never.
Americans don't appreciate Jeff Lynne enough. Jeff is an absolute musical magician. His voice, his writing, his mastery of sound... Thanks Jeff. I grew up with ELO and your various projects. Im a better and more musical person because of what you taught me when listening to your works.
Jeff has had so much love since Touring again...ALL HIS TOURS HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT in America and in Europe.
❤️❤️
My favorite artist of all time.
I beg to differ. I've been a lifetime fan. Funny enough a young generation is appreciating ELO from the Guardians of the Galaxy. Better late than never I suppose.
100%
Jeff is one of the few "secret sauce" guys in the history of rock. The public in general is probably not aware of him but musicians certainly are.
Absolutely. He's the go-to-man if you need someone to work on your music, and get it done properly. He's one of my favourite musicians
Everyone of a certain age knows about him what are you talking about
I am aware of him and I am not a musician!
@@JonathanReynolds1I know a lot of people who don't know who he is. I also know people who are familiar with his work
Jesus was perfect. Jeff Lynne comes in second. ❤
Jeff comes across as such an ordinary down to earth, humble, guy. Ordinary or not as a person, he is a phenomenal talent.
Martin Mitchell -- Absolutely ! No one has that perfect, smooth, able to go so seamlessly from high note to falsetto, and you cannot even tell,; and also a strong and deep voice, as this man...
What can I say? George Harrison was one of a kind. Miss him very much. May he rest in peace forever.
Amen 🙏
I think Jeff Lynne gave George some of his best moments musically..You can really see George blossoming when Jeff was around...Dig that!
He also had a similar experience with Tom Petty when he brought over ukuleles to play together... :) And then, George left Tom Petty with many ukuleles; he had a boot full of them in his car, according to Tom...
So sad that we couldn’t hold on to George longer. Him and Jeff are so precious together
Jamie Russell-Satterfield a pair of mates a pair of legends
He. Him is an object.
Stop treating him like an object...
@@MrDennisn1 It's 'Stop treating HE like an object'. :-D
So true. What a combination and wasn't George a wonderful man. Totally relaxed.
It's physically impossible to not smile when you see two great friends enjoying their company....friends, not legends. Just. Friends.
Absolutely beautiful connection between Jeff, George and Tom…Jeff and Roy were good friends as well…Jeff is a humble badass
George was devoted to Tom, and hero-worshipped Dylan. Because I adore George, I'm delighted that he got to play with the hero of his youth and include the excellent musicians of his day
There's something absolutely endearing about a musical genius like Jeff Lynne
being star struck by another musician.
Jeff was star struck meeting George but my Lord I hope he knows how much of a rock God he is in his own right.
I miss George. What a great spirit.
"Hi, I'm Beatle Jeff"
“I used to be Arthur, y’know, but they made me change the name.” These two have amazing chemistry, I died at this part.
(Fortuitous) The Traveling WIllbury's
@@verticalfishYou died? 🤔
Jeff and George are both so talented and yet so humble and down to earth!
George was very talented
Jeff Lynne is so awesome.
Jeff Lynne is the most humble musician that ever existed. 🙏
And very talented.
Stewart Nicol as BILLY CONNOLLY Most great artusts are if i may believe all those different comments
He might be one of the most talented as well
And yet, he is one of the Greatest Musicians and Singers of all times ❤️
I admire and love Jeff so much!
Gotta go with George!
That last 15 seconds playing Something with the George Formby ending is classic. How can you not love Jeff Lynne - such an unassuming man.
Two legends of the music industry, loved the stuff they did together in the travelling wilburys. RIP George.
I have had this thought through the years - no matter who you are, whether Jimmy Page, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson even, or any possible musician you can think of - there are always, ALWAYS four guys that are in front of you, today, tomorrow and forever. Those bums!!!!! :) FABS4EVER
Jeff Lynne, what a beautiful person inside and out, I’m a fairly recent fan, love his voice and guitar work and all his involvement in ELO and the Travelling Willburys,
George used to always take 2 ukes around with him on the off-chance he'd meet someone who could play, and they could have a jam.
Talk about two peas in a pod. I'm so glad they became good "mates". So much alike. Talented, humble, adorable, down to earth. Love those guys. Miss George so much

two guys with solid gold vocals.
...and amazingly deep backstory talent
Brilliant ....Jeff is such a great guy and of course so was George Harrison.
AGREED!
I think George’s singing on “Handle with Care” is the best of his career. He said in an interview that Jeff Lynn had such a good voice that he (George) was inspired to sing his very best for the Wilburys. Not to mention that Roy Orbison was there too.
George is right that Jeff has really good voice.
Out of the many things that Jeff and George had in common, one of the best was that they were both just very likable human beings.
I think Jeff looked up to George like a big older brother who he admired and respected dearly.
I've always loved Jeff Lynn going all the way back to ELO! He is one of the most talented guys walking the Earth. He plays so many different instruments, has produced so many fantastic albums! No wonder him and George we're best friends!
How about The Move?
Jeff Lynne is so talented and modest at the same time. The best overall musician we have ever known said Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, George Harrison and so many other Music Legends...
Haven't heard that before but I can believe it.

Mark Berryhill - It's on UA-cam
@@Cosmo-Kramer ua-cam.com/video/PfgiRBzFxek/v-deo.html
Ringo, Paul, and John all think very highly of him, John Lennon called ELO, son of Beatles
That made me get a bit weepy. It's always a joy to watch a Jeff Lynne interview. I can always picture him as a small kid. Meaning he still seems to have an innocence and humbleness about him. Thanks for all of the gorgeous music Jeff!

When you get right down to it, George Harrison was the humblest Beatle, always ready to give; Jeff Lynne is so tremendously multifaceted. Even Macca complimented him once.
Absolute classy man and great musician is Jeff. RIP George.
Note: What Jeff and George were strumming ends up in the outro of Free As A Bird. You're welcome!
TheFlowerthiefMusic - I noticed that as well while watching the video. When I first heard Free As A Bird, it immediately hit me that George was inserting his love of Ukes…
I BARLEY NOTICED THAT RN
I think they were strumming the chords to Something
Think it was something
Clearly the outro from Free as a Bird.
Great video Jeff. Who does not love George, and the Beatles, and who does not love ELO? You hold your own very well.
I love them both. I grew up with them. Both great talented artists.
When I read that I though you meant Formby ahahah
I never loved ELO to be honest
... I love ELO
I love listening to Jeff Lynne and the Traveling Wilabys
Jeff is humble and beautiful it’s funny listening to him here. What a wonderful guy.
Jeff Lynne is so awesome. I liked his music before but to hear him in interviews is even better
George Harrison always searched for new sounds and co-partners to work with.
He really knew what he was looking for.
Imagine bringing Bob Dylan and Tom Petty to your house for a bbq and saying hey how about Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne George struck absolute gold by being a breezy guy
It's alright don't worry just
Flow ;; Wilburys RiP
Makes me smile. Friends making music together--can't get much better than that.
Blessed that Jeff is still here and making music..
Wow, A Legend nervous about meeting a legend, The respect within the industry back then was heartwarming, Jeff Lynn you are loved mate
George looked up to Roy Orbison too. He was so thrilled by the chance of getting Roy in The Traveling Wilburys.
fantastic that jeff got to work with his heros....and his heros loved him ...brilliant.. who doesnt love jeff lynne...hes so ace.xx
amazing guys,,,

Best music therapy in the world! Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra please Tour North America in 2021-2022!!!
I love Jeff. I love George. I am so glad I saw ELO in South Bend in spring of 1977.
Jeff Lynne is great!
Great stories and a fun story teller.
Thanks a lot!
Aww a Jeff and George selfie ~ Happy heavenly 75th birthday George!
George did not take selfies, why would he, George Harrison was a lovely intelligent man.
How absolutely charming ...
WOW THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF FOOTAGE AMAZING 🥰 JEFFE LYNNE YOU ARE A WONDERFUL FUNNY MAN AND GEORGE HARRISON THERE AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS ❤️🦋🌈 RIP GEORGE HARRISON ANOTHER LEGEND ❤️🦋🌈
Excellent footage - Loved the ukulele playing by George and Jeff. Thanks for posting.
An in sung hero of Music.
Someone once asked Jeff if he knew the classics? Yes ; which ones… all of them!
What an awesome collection of shiny records, you rock Jeff!!!
He loved you Jeff! He wouldn't have had you stick around otherwise 😁
"he said, 'you'll have to grip with your bum'...and I knew immediately that he was my kind of guy" HAHAHAHA!
I can't put enough words to explain how much I love George's smile, it's sooo precious ❤️❤️❤️
Jeff is such a class act!
Will always love the friendship Jeff & George shared. MAGICAL COMES TO MIND!
Jeff and George...true gentlemen. George we miss you, we love you.😢 Rock them in Heaven🎸🎸. Peace and Love✌💚 from sunny🌅 Greece⛵💦

I loved George & i think we all love Jeff. So humble each time y'see him. Bout time the Jeffmeister got a Knighthood. And bless gh Love Olivia & Dhani
I would definitely buy drain cleaner from Jeff! He's so adorable 😍
I'd invite him in to demonstrate it for as long as possible, and definitely buy some!
@@strivingformindfulness2356 ... We could invite him back for a "demonstration party" with all our friends! 😎😉
Who could not love Jeff ?

If you could meet Jeff, and ask him ONE question, what would it be?
This is such a Cool Video of Jeff & George playing banjo’s!💙
Jeff and George two great souls.
jeff you are a legend, George, and any of beatles are too
I’ve often thought George Harrison to be the finest human being in my lifetime.
I have always loved George Harrison. I agree. One of the best !!
MichaelKingsfordGray sorry, I don’t get it????
This makes me smile inside and out! Love them both.
TWO GREAT MEN AND TWO GREAT MUSICIANS!
Love listening to George Harrison stories yours too Jeff. Thanks ❤️
Love me some Jeff Lynne 💕💕🎶🎶💕💕 of course always a wild George fan 🎶🎶💕💕🙏
A true gem! Two of the most talented composers I know!
Thats true mate...and George showed along "Something"...with extraordinary drumming bit of Ringo. It was so sweet to hear
This is the first interview of Jeff I've ever seen. He seems so humble - he really admires The Beatles. A great successor of their heritage!
Jeff comes from musical parents
And this is what world famous superstar musicians do on a Sunday afternoon when no one's lookin'...THEY GO BANJULELE-MAD! 😎
+Captain Fantastic Hell, I do that anyway and I AIN'T a superstar musician!
... I'm just weird.
... But happy. :)
So great to see them in Happy times 👍👍👍🤩
Greatest pair of friends of all time.
George was my favorite Beatle and I collected ELO singles like a kid collects marbles. And on UA-cam, they're forever together.
what a brill thing, Dhani with 2 of the best musicians in the world. how proud George would be.
Jeff Lynne is forever young.
if i had the chance to play "something" on a banjo with George freaking Harrison i would do it anytime
Nice to see George smiling and happy.
This is a beautiful story that fills me with hope.
Gracias por compartir y darnos a conocer este vídeo, de estos 2 grandes artistas irrepetibles, únicos y su música extraordinaria, se ve que se llevan de maravilla, George rip 🙏, y larga vida para Jeff.😍

Espero que algún día venga Jeff Lynne a tocar su hermosas canciones a Chile...See you later Jeff..I love you!!🇨🇱💖
Jeff is SOOOOO brilliant, an amazing artist. Love you forever Jeff!
Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO! See you in concert in the Summer of 2019!
George seems like such a funny guy. It's a shame we lost him so early.

I could listen to this guy all day and night
Super sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.
Humble Jeff. Brilliant musician and producer
Two musicians that i really admire having fun, both wonderful talents. Their frendship shows as well, R.i.p George and rock on Jeff
Yeah, back when I used to go play yukeles over at George Harrison's house.
I need more of those stories in life.
Without a doubt the most touching moment of the Concert For George was the last number when Joe Brown played I'll See You In My Dreams while strumming on his uke - with full orchestral backing.

like george, jeff gave the world some great music
I wish there was more footage of George & Jeff playing ukulele!
I think I would be content to hear Jeff sing the Yellow Pages to me...
What? Let your fingers do the walking.
