Tom still haunts me to this day.. he died right after my birthday and I literally had a nightmare where I was expirencing some in and out of body shit like I imagined he did while he was coming back and forth when the doctors were trying to save him... that's not a feeling you ever forget...
Del Shannon was going to be the replacement for Roy Orbison, but he too popped off before the 2nd album was recorded. A shame, not least because he was a beautiful singer who probably didn't get the plaudits his talent deserved.
Roy Orbison's chair rocking with his guitar and his voice gets me EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. What a lovey singer he was and how much he offered to the fabric of American music. R.I.P.
I was sad when I realized Jamal didn't know Roy was gone, then I realized Tom Petty and George were gone too... Beautiful reminder of what we have lost.
Yeah, J, Roy Orbison passed away just before this was filmed. If you remember from the previous video reaction, he’s the man with the dark glasses and dark hair. You probably know his voice because he’d been around since the late 50s. He is mostly known for the song O’ Pretty Woman. But he’s has so many more huge hits. Unfortunately this band lost two other members. George Harrison, whom you recalled from being in The Beatles, and most recently Tom Petty of The Heartbreakers. Too much great talent gone there, man.
Take me to Roy Orbison Roy Orbison that's who Elvis Presley thought was the best singer ever I have to agree with me I mean saying Elvis is wrong but cuter and the monkey man anybody remember that shitt that'll smack the s*** out
For SURE. 💯 SiiiiGH... ROY ORBISON. 😍 His Voice IS/WAS EXTREMELY UNIQUE, which is why it's MY FAV. out of All the other Talented Musicians in this video. 🎹 🎵 🎸 🎵 ROY O. IS/WAS The BEST. 😢 💔 #RIP 🙏 👼 #Icon 😢 #RoyOrbison ❤ #OldiesButGoodies 💛
Jim Keltner. Legend in his own right. Released a bunch of home videos that he recorded during the sessions for this album. One track he plays the contents of a fridge as percussion. 😂
Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynn, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Tom petty. All legends. At the time of this video Roy Orbison had just past - they paid him tribute by showing his guitar on the empty chair. By now we have lost George and Tom too. RIP.
Look at the way they are all smiling at the chair and each other, though. It's almost like they are thinking -- our friend lived a good life and he is in a better place. Almost like his spirit is with them, for that brief moment.
@@ianbrooke6342 Ian, thanks so very much for posting this. There's such great beauty and respect in these small details. All the very best to you from Albuquerque!
3:12 - Hits you like a train every time you see that rocking chair, doesn't it! Nearly three decades after this release, Tom Petty would break all our hearts one last time 🙏
That's why I like Jamal ~His reactions are genuine. He is amazed and respectful of all the different genres. Plus his interpretations are well thoughtful and deep.
Jeff Lynne's Lyric "remember to live and let live, The best you can do is forgive" made me forgive my alcoholic mother. Such a powerful song. You truly get it brother... thr way you explained at the end gave me chills.
Roy Orbison died between the time that this was recorded in the studio and when the video was filmed. That's why they showed his picture when his lines came up.
Yeah, it really sucked when Orbison died because he was kind of at the center of how this group got started. He was really happy about the album's success and there was even talk of a tour. Can you imagine how cool that show would've been, with all those artists' repertoires to pick from.
And those guys supported Roy on "You Got It" that charted well in the US and Europe. HIs widows said it those were the happiest days of Roy's life. He was looking forward not back, full of life and zeal... then he was called to go back home.
I love how they honored Roy Orbison and kept him in the music video with his picture, rocking chair, and guitar. A group that will never be duplicated.
Another “Super Group” you may enjoy, is “The Highwaymen”. Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristopherson (spelling), and Willie Nelson. And the song “The Highwaymen” is goosebump raising. And now two of them are gone!
There was a joke back when they were together that they brought Tom Petty in so they would have some one that could translate Bob Dylan. Great band for sure maybe one of the last real super groups.
Robert, Do you remember that old 1991 SNL Weekend Update sketch with Dana Carvey as Bob Dylan, where Dennis Miller has to act as his translator? And then when even Miller can no longer understand what he saying they bring on “Tom Petty” (David Spade) so the two can communicate together! 🤣🤣🤣
We didn't understand how lucky we were back in the 80s that such a supergroup as this could even exist. It was like watching the original Dream Team play basketball!
Whenever I am reminded of the musicians we have lost over the years I think back to the Righteous Brothers song "Rock n Roll Heaven". "If you believe in forever, Then life is just a one-night stand. If there's a rock and roll heaven, Well you know they've got a hell of a band"
Since you were so impressed with Roy Orbison’s voice, check out these songs: “Crying”, “Only the Lonely”, and “In Dreams”. His voice was definitely powerful and unique. Thanks again for the videos and smiles!
Roy Orbison. One of thee most UNDERRATED artists of all time. That man deserves so much more credit than he ever got. He had the voice of an angel. Rest in peace Roy, you are missed
Agreed Tom Petty died way to soon. He looks so young here and it did make me tear up a little. Saw him in concert 6 times and it was always awesome. I will always miss him... my heart still breaks.
A nod to drummer Jim Keltner - how perfectly he backed this with a snare, a tambourine, and a kick. No electronics, no array of a zillion toms, just the basics.
Don't know how I never caught the Roy Orbison tribute in this video. Seeing the guitar in the rocking chair was so moving. It's so sad that only 2 of these guys are left. I especially miss Tom Petty.
I got to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers a couple of times. What a great performer. Seen Bob a bunch of times. Gonna try hard to see ELO when they play Toronto.
Man, I couldn't believe when I heard of Tom passing!! A friend messaged me with the news, and I spent a couple of hours online trying to debunk the "rumor", but everything I found just made the news more solid!! First time in a long time I just had to walk away, find a private place, and have a little cry!! He was one of the people I respected most in this world. I still listen to his music daily, play his songs on my guitar, go back watching old interviews. He will be missed for a long long time!!
I'm an English woman in my 60s so I think we grew up with the best music raw talent that just wanted an audience, now its all about the money fame glory.
@@theubercaste Well looks like you got me there ,so i googled Elvis quotes and found this one just for you .."Say something worth remembering" this is a quote from one of his vegas shows
Man, I totally forgot about the chair rocking in honor of Roy Orbison. What a small but amazing tribute to a legend. My favorite lyric is "Well it's all right, even if you're old and gray Well it's all right, you still got something to say Well it's all right, remember to live and let live Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive." Orbison, Harrison and Petty are sadly no longer with us, to answer your question.
The drummer is Jim Keltner. Just one of those great drummers like Ringo that everyone liked to use because he just sat back and did what they call "play to the song" instead of showing off.
Tom Petty helped write Roy Orbisons' last hit single, "You Got It" when they were in this band were together. It was #1 when he passed. I remember it well because he was my fathers' favorite singer. His father, my grandfather, passed two weeks after Roy did.
My dad loved Roy too. Of course I knew of him, but I didn't appreciate him just before he died. I played the song 'Not Alone Anymore' to death on the old school jukebox. First thing when I got to my after work beer joint, play that song, Nelson was there. I'm going to listen to it now, Roy hits those notes perfect. Cool your dad and grandpa caught the same bus to heaven that Roy did. Not really, but maybe you know what I mean. I think we get to hang with our heroes and loved ones when we pass. I want to meet Leonardo da Vinci, and the guitarist Fernando Sor. And be with my son again, I miss him a great deal. He's hanging with my parents, and Roy too, if my dad's hosting the barbecues. Long live Bob Dylan, USA! Saw him in NYC with daughter last December. Bob's getting old, but he's still great.
@Don P Yes, I heard about him turning 79. Somehow I didn't know he was that old, even though I've been listening to him for over 50 years. I took my 30 year old daughter to see him at the Beacon on Dec 3rd. To me it was half pilgrimage of sorts. I wanted to make sure she could tell her grandchildren that she saw Bob. She's a fan, not like me though, Bob is my numero uno. And Bob was great. There was a part in the concert that gripped me good, body moving, it was a little Grateful Dead like. I got naturally high, oh yeah, and there was a bar and I did 2 shots of Jameson while my daughter wasn't looking, I caught a nice glow. I can't smoke that pod stuff anymore, but it probably would have been cool. My dad got to see Roy, at the Lone Star Cafe on 13th street. And check this out, my dad also saw Roy Buchanan there, on my advice.
@Don P It was a nice concert. Cheap seats, $125 apiece, but good view. I listened to Bob since a kid but I didn't get him the 1980's. When I got him it hit hard. I can't really describe what 'get' him is, but something happened and it was great. He's a rare type of person. He ain't regular. I think God speaks through him sometimes.
@Don P Yes, Neil Young. I was telling my daughter we have to see him. I never saw him. I always liked him, but recently mostly from UA-cam he grew on me big time. He's right behind Bob. And another guy who's great is Tom Waits. I say Bob, Tom and Neil in that order. If you don't Tom well I recommend his album 'Rain Dogs'. I left that tape in my car stereo for six weeks, it played over and over. Did that with some Bob too, 'Street Legal' and 'Slow Train', left the tape in the stereo. Masterpieces.
Best thing I ever heard about these guys. This is like some of the world's greatest chefs getting together to barbecue hamburgers and hot dogs. So true!
Check out their list of music lots more I just requested my favorite Two🎶✌🎹 thanks again lots more blasts from the past ,I will be requesting ..... Peace out ✌🙏😊
They had recorded the album prior to Roy Orbison's death -- the video later obviously. Roy Orbison had a beautiful and distinct voice, I would recommend you react to "Oh, Pretty Woman" (1964), or "Only the Lonely" (1960).
guicho gf, I could totally understand why. Has one of the most memorable guitar intros. The lyrics were so simple but it was Roy’s voice that made the song.
I love how they put Roy's guitar in the rocking chair. And showed a photo of him as his voice came in. Very classy. Such a great song by such talented musicians.
They recorded this song with Roy Orbinson but, he passed away shortly after they recorderd the song . To pay tribute they kept the original track with him for the music video.
Truth! You just can't imagine how many damn hit songs/albums that Jim Keltner played on. You could do 500 videos on the great Jim Kelner's contributions to rock & roll alone. For our inquiring minded brothers & sisters: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Keltner Much peace & love, y'all...God bless!
Grew up listening to Roy. My dad really enjoyed his music. And he wrote one of the most iconic songs of ALL TIME: Pretty Woman! Plus add in George Harrison and Bob Dylan - All Along The Watchtower, Knocking on Heaven's Door. Man, what a group. My God.
@@twelveytwelve Which is a shame because he is known as a real legend among session musicians. Pretty much ALL legendary artists who have hired him for their own sessions have said so at one time or another...and there have been far too many to count.
There is a city park in his hometown, Gainesville, Florida named Tom Petty Park. His older brother, Bruce and one of his daughters, Adria were there for the ceremony.
@@bruceborneman -- It's just an odd occurrence of events. Roy Orbison was 52 when he died, Harrison was 58, Petty was 66. Jeff Lynne is 72 years old . Bob Dylan is 79 though.
George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and the great Jeff Lynne. 5 of the greatest artist of our time. Responsible for so much fantastic music. And of course the incomparable Jim Keltner. R.I.P Roy, George, and Tom.
having had cancer twice and being a nurse in an er in these days...i had forgotten this song. thanks much for this vid, good sir and please keep making a difference in peoples' lives.
Actually Roy Orbinson started out at a little studio in Clovis New Mexico called Norman Petty Studios. That little studio also brought the world Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings
I don't usually check out reaction videos, but with this song, something hit me to watch your video, and I'm glad I did. Your expressions throughout the song, singing along, head bobbing, and generally just getting into the song, this video embodies what I feel inside every time I hear this song. Thank you!
"It's alright...." This is the first song on my daily playlist so I can remember that everything is alright. I've been waiting for some time for you to find the Traveling Wilburys. Thanks so much for your reaction, Jamel. I loved it. Take care and be well. Peace.
Huge respect to you man. Youre reacting to everything no one else reacts to. And it's quality music like the Traveling Wilburys. At some point maybe react to George Harrison.
He could react to George's "I've Got My Mind Set On You" and then Weird Al's parody of it, "This Song is Just Six Words Long". I remember the video George did for it, with all the activity happening in the background, always enjoyed seeing that one on Night Tracks back in the day
We've lost too many Wilburys for my liking. These men and their music shaped my taste in music. Roy, who sang Pretty Woman (walking down the street) was a loss to those men as their loss was to me. I love and respect Roy but I was introduced to him much later in life. Tom has been with me since I got Damn The Torpedoes at 12. Yes when it was released. George has been in my heart since he was my favorite Beatle in 4th grade. I forever thank the Heavens for the Wilburys.
That rocking chair with
Roy's guitar has more talent than most artists today.
One of the greatest voices in the history of rock and roll
Damn right
LOL
Yes!!!
He was the master of the 2 minute 30 second song!
Rest in peace George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Tom petty.
Tom still haunts me to this day.. he died right after my birthday and I literally had a nightmare where I was expirencing some in and out of body shit like I imagined he did while he was coming back and forth when the doctors were trying to save him... that's not a feeling you ever forget...
Amen
Amen
Del Shannon was going to be the replacement for Roy Orbison, but he too popped off before the 2nd album was recorded. A shame, not least because he was a beautiful singer who probably didn't get the plaudits his talent deserved.

RIP to all of them.
I've got some party goers up there so I know its a good time on the other side
@@kennethholderness4883 Bob Dylan is still alive
5 superstars with no ego, creating amazing music. There will never be another supergroup like the wilburys. Even Bob looks like he is having fun :)
Yes roy died of a heart attack 😢
Roy Orbison's chair rocking with his guitar and his voice gets me EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. What a lovey singer he was and how much he offered to the fabric of American music. R.I.P.
And now, you've got Tom Petty singing "I'm just glad to be here. Happy to be alive" at 4:03.
I get chills every single time I watch this video. Roy Orbison had the voice of an angel.
@@butcherboy2008 another loss of a great artist. This video is bittersweet.
Roy's voice is ethereal
I can only "like" your comment once, but I wish I could hit that button a thousand times. What a voice. R.I.P. indeed.
In case no one has mentioned, Jim Keltner is the drummer. He's a session legend.
Played on "Josie" for Steely Dan! 👍
Unbelievable list of artist and album credits.
@@joeday4293 he has one hell of a CV but "Josie" alone says it all
@@MitchHillerMusic Yep, I listed that one just for starters, as a song Jamel already knows.
Definitely one of the best.
Seeing Roy’s guitar rocking on the chair. Heartbreaking. Such a beautiful voice as well.

Take me to Roy Orbison Roy Orbison that's who Elvis Presley thought was the best singer ever I have to agree with me I mean saying Elvis is wrong but cuter and the monkey man anybody remember that shitt that'll smack the s*** out
The Last Men standing are Bob Dylan who turned 79 a few days ago and Jeff Lynne
To this day I think Roy Orbison has the most haunting singing voice around.
I loved Roy's voice!
Such a thin jet great voice. :)
Haunting the most heartful way possible
After listening to Gordon Lightfoot, I may have to disagree.
For SURE. 💯
SiiiiGH... ROY ORBISON. 😍
His Voice IS/WAS EXTREMELY UNIQUE, which is why it's MY FAV. out of All the other Talented Musicians in this video.

I love that Jamel takes the time to mention the drummer, who isn't one of the superstars on the band, and does deserve some recognition.
Jim Keltner. Legend in his own right. Released a bunch of home videos that he recorded during the sessions for this album. One track he plays the contents of a fridge as percussion. 😂
@@famineaffairThank You for the information on the drummer.. A lot of them, IMO, are unsung heroes. ❤ RIP Roy Orbison, George Harrison and Tom Petty.
No trouble at all. Can’t find the video but here is an article about it:

Buster Sidebury!
Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynn, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Tom petty. All legends.
At the time of this video Roy Orbison had just past - they paid him tribute by showing his guitar on the empty chair. By now we have lost George and Tom too. RIP.
Supergroups aren't usually as good as they look, on paper. Then, there's these guys.
The look on Jamel's face when he realized the big O wasn't with them on train had me tearing up. R.I.P Roy, Tom & George ✌
I had forgot about that part in the video, that was really sad.
Right! Punches me right in the feels every damn time!
Me too!
This is taking me back and makes me sad for all the great artists I’ve seen in my lifetime that have passed.
Look at the way they are all smiling at the chair and each other, though. It's almost like they are thinking -- our friend lived a good life and he is in a better place. Almost like his spirit is with them, for that brief moment.
I remember this being released just after Roy Orbison's death. It was poignant of them to have the empty chair for him.
Lynne -- I LOVE people who take the time to post important information like this. Thank you so much!
@@dos-fslady3140 No worries. :-)
an empty chair is a common ritual at AA and veteran's gatherings
and that was Roy's guitar sitting on the chair.

The moment you realize Roy was with them in spirit. You nailed it.
Beautiful reaction my brother. You truly are a sensitive soul.
3:12 - Hits you like a train every time you see that rocking chair, doesn't it!
Nearly three decades after this release, Tom Petty would break all our hearts one last time 🙏
Iconic collaboration of the likes we will never see again. More talent in this group than all of today's music industry.
Jamel looks like a hugger. Who else here could use a hug from Jamel right about now?
Looks like a sincere good hugger!
Any time!
You sound gay.
@@trikkerman1, I don't think so, but assuming it did, would that be a problem? Why? 🤔

Yeah he passed on.
RIP Roy
RIP George
RIP Tom

That's why I like Jamal ~His reactions are genuine. He is amazed and respectful of all the different genres. Plus his interpretations are well thoughtful and deep.
Roy was listed as the one artist that Elvis Had stated he would never follow.

@@dianagerding8541 They left behind a beautiful legacy. I would say it was a life well lived.

Keltner is a genius.
@@wyrwolf and John Lennon too I think
Wasn’t he part of the Wrecking Crew?
Jeff Lynne's Lyric "remember to live and let live, The best you can do is forgive" made me forgive my alcoholic mother. Such a powerful song. You truly get it brother... thr way you explained at the end gave me chills.
Roy Orbison died between the time that this was recorded in the studio and when the video was filmed. That's why they showed his picture when his lines came up.
"Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
I'm just glad to be here
happy to be alive" - One of my all time favorite lyrics.
My favorite line of all time.
Even more poignant now that Tom is gone as well.
Yeah, I'm guessing that's cause you don't drive a car made by Hot Wheels or Matchbox.
Potent lyrics
Yeah, it really sucked when Orbison died because he was kind of at the center of how this group got started. He was really happy about the album's success and there was even talk of a tour. Can you imagine how cool that show would've been, with all those artists' repertoires to pick from.

We didn't appreciate them enough when we had them. We thought the music would never end.
You don't know what you've got, till it's gone.
Dear Lord wish we still had this kinda music today
This makes me smile because I love all these guys...but then it makes my heart hurt because Roy, George and Tom all passed way too young.
All the poignant given the song's message.
I love how they honored Roy Orbison and kept him in the music video with his picture, rocking chair, and guitar. A group that will never be duplicated.
Yeah lovely tribute
Please never forget Roy Orbison- The greatest most beautiful voice in Rock history-love your show Jamel !!
Every time I watch this video and see the rocking chair with Roy’s guitar and hear him singing, I end up tearing up and just wanna cry.
Only the Lonely, Crying, Pretty Woman, Blue Bayou - All Roy Orbison classics, you'll know at least one if not all of them!
Oh I would love him to do Roy Orbison and KD Lang's "Crying". That version was awesome.
Kelly Stephenson agreed!!!!!! The version with KD Lang is truly amazing. Beautiful!

WT Keeton Agreed, I also liken them to the Highwaymen...Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.
Some of us did!
I'm painfully aware of how lucky we were to be adult and alive in the 80s. the very best music of our lifetimes.
Whenever I am reminded of the musicians we have lost over the years I think back to the Righteous Brothers song "Rock n Roll Heaven".
"If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.

Since you were so impressed with Roy Orbison’s voice, check out these songs:

Even The Beatles were totally at awe with Roy Orbison's voice. No wonder George collaborated with him for this supergroup!
@@maritheresereyes Right at the beginning of their careers they toured with Roy and they were completely blown away.

Roy Orbison. One of thee most UNDERRATED artists of all time. That man deserves so much more credit than he ever got. He had the voice of an angel. Rest in peace Roy, you are missed
Choked up when you noticed the rocking chair and picture, sadly we've lost 3 of the wiburys now.
He was right on top of that.
Roy Orbison was only 52 when he died in 1988, he was also Elvis's favorite singer.
Ive been loving this song for many years. Such a classic.
Traveling Wheel Barrows. George would approve.
Oh definitely. Python esq sense of silly and never take yourself too serious.
I love you man
You are a class act
I really enjoy seeing you listen to stuff
You are so respectful and kind
As far as I’m concerned, we are family
To see Tom Petty singing "Happy just to be alive" is so sad. He too died a few years ago.
I miss him!! Saw in concert a few times...just wonderful.
Seeing him here looking like the kid in the room almost started the tears, then Roy's empty chair....

Agree!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
Man, after all these years, I still get a pang of sadness seeing Roy's chair. Very nice choices today, sir!
It was hard for them to do this video but they pushed through. Sadly, George, Roy & Tom are gone, but their legacies carry on in their music.
I'm an English woman in my 60s so I think we grew up with the best music raw talent that just wanted an audience, now its all about the money fame glory.
The song writing talent in that group is just so legendary.
The best quote about them I've ever heard was "You ain't shit till you're a Wilbury."
@@timdunn1979 Nelson (George) also said, "Someday everybody gonna be a Wilbury."
It's off the charts

@@theubercaste Well looks like you got me there ,so i googled Elvis quotes and found this one just for you .."Say something worth remembering" this is a quote from one of his vegas shows
They are spectacular! How blessed I feel to grow up listening to these guys individuals. And when they got together....heavenly.
"Not Alone Any More" is a beautiful, haunting Wilbury's track. Worth at least a private listen.
Man, I totally forgot about the chair rocking in honor of Roy Orbison. What a small but amazing tribute to a legend. My favorite lyric is "Well it's all right, even if you're old and gray
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive."
Orbison, Harrison and Petty are sadly no longer with us, to answer your question.
That made me cry.😔
Roy Orbison is one of the prettiest tenor voices ever! Highly recommend In Dreams or both versions of Crying...the solo and duet with k.d. lang
Love both of those songs!
And the classic 'Pretty Woman'.
I recall when Roy died. A true loss. What a talent.
The drummer is Jim Keltner. Just one of those great drummers like Ringo that everyone liked to use because he just sat back and did what they call "play to the song" instead of showing off.
Tom Petty helped write Roy Orbisons' last hit single, "You Got It" when they were in this band were together. It was #1 when he passed. I remember it well because he was my fathers' favorite singer. His father, my grandfather, passed two weeks after Roy did.

My dad loved Roy too. Of course I knew of him, but I didn't appreciate him just before he died. I played the song 'Not Alone Anymore' to death on the old school jukebox. First thing when I got to my after work beer joint, play that song, Nelson was there. I'm going to listen to it now, Roy hits those notes perfect. Cool your dad and grandpa caught the same bus to heaven that Roy did. Not really, but maybe you know what I mean. I think we get to hang with our heroes and loved ones when we pass. I want to meet Leonardo da Vinci, and the guitarist Fernando Sor. And be with my son again, I miss him a great deal. He's hanging with my parents, and Roy too, if my dad's hosting the barbecues. Long live Bob Dylan, USA! Saw him in NYC with daughter last December. Bob's getting old, but he's still great.
@Don P
Yes, I heard about him turning 79. Somehow I didn't know he was that old, even though I've been listening to him for over 50 years.
I took my 30 year old daughter to see him at the Beacon on Dec 3rd. To me it was half pilgrimage of sorts. I wanted to make sure she could tell her grandchildren that she saw Bob. She's a fan, not like me though, Bob is my numero uno. And Bob was great. There was a part in the concert that gripped me good, body moving, it was a little Grateful Dead like. I got naturally high, oh yeah, and there was a bar and I did 2 shots of Jameson while my daughter wasn't looking, I caught a nice glow. I can't smoke that pod stuff anymore, but it probably would have been cool. My dad got to see Roy, at the Lone Star Cafe on 13th street. And check this out, my dad also saw Roy Buchanan there, on my advice.
@Don P
It was a nice concert. Cheap seats, $125 apiece, but good view. I listened to Bob since a kid but I didn't get him the 1980's. When I got him it hit hard. I can't really describe what 'get' him is, but something happened and it was great. He's a rare type of person. He ain't regular. I think God speaks through him sometimes.
@Don P
Yes, Neil Young. I was telling my daughter we have to see him. I never saw him. I always liked him, but recently mostly from UA-cam he grew on me big time. He's right behind Bob. And another guy who's great is Tom Waits. I say Bob, Tom and Neil in that order. If you don't Tom well I recommend his album 'Rain Dogs'. I left that tape in my car stereo for six weeks, it played over and over. Did that with some Bob too, 'Street Legal' and 'Slow Train', left the tape in the stereo. Masterpieces.
Best thing I ever heard about these guys. This is like some of the world's greatest chefs getting together to barbecue hamburgers and hot dogs. So true!
Check out their list of music lots more I just requested my favorite Two🎶✌🎹 thanks again lots more blasts from the past ,I will be requesting ..... Peace out ✌🙏😊
Ender: What a great analogy!!
Well put.
Or even Steak and Lobster.
The amount of talent here is amazing. 5 of the great song writers of multiple generations !!
What a magical group. RIP Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and George Harrison. I love this album.
They had recorded the album prior to Roy Orbison's death -- the video later obviously. Roy Orbison had a beautiful and distinct voice, I would recommend you react to "Oh, Pretty Woman" (1964), or "Only the Lonely" (1960).
Crying
"In Dreams"
You got it
Pretty Woman was the song that made me a fan of rock and roll at a very early age.
guicho gf, I could totally understand why. Has one of the most memorable guitar intros. The lyrics were so simple but it was Roy’s voice that made the song.
RIP George, Tom and Roy
I love how they put Roy's guitar in the rocking chair. And showed a photo of him as his voice came in. Very classy. Such a great song by such talented musicians.
What a collection of amazing artists! Sadly, Petty, Harrison and Orbison have left us. We’re blessed to still have the great Jeff Lynne of E.L.O.
They recorded this song with Roy Orbinson but, he passed away shortly after they recorderd the song . To pay tribute they kept the original track with him for the music video.
It's Orbison's guitar in the rocking chair when his verse is being played.
Orbison was still alive when they filmed the video for "Handle With Care."
What a great band I remember back in 1988 I listened to vanhalen rush ozzy slayer wasp...and the traveling wilburys.....what talent.....👍✌🤟
THIS DRUMMER HIS NAME IS "JIM KELTNER" ONE OF THE GREATEST STUDIO DRUMMER ALONG SIDE TO "JEFF PORCARO"
Truth! You just can't imagine how many damn hit songs/albums that Jim Keltner played on. You could do 500 videos on the great Jim Kelner's contributions to rock & roll alone.
For our inquiring minded brothers & sisters:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Keltner
Much peace & love, y'all...God bless!
aka Buster Sidebury
Yup. Along with Hal Blaine, Russ Kunkel, Steve Gadd and the tragic Jim Gordon.
NOAH CASAS absolute legends
I wonder why Jeff didn't use Bev Bevan.
If you like this style of music, the whole album is just as good.
Both of the Travelling Wilburys albums are exceedingly good, great additions to any record collection.
Please stand corrected : "If you like....music, the whole album is just as good." 😊
Grew up listening to Roy. My dad really enjoyed his music. And he wrote one of the most iconic songs of ALL TIME: Pretty Woman! Plus add in George Harrison and Bob Dylan - All Along The Watchtower, Knocking on Heaven's Door. Man, what a group. My God.
Unfortunately, the only ones left are Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan...
And Jim Keltner, the drummer.
@@leehanson1416 But he's not really considered a Wilbury.
@@twelveytwelve
Made-up last name of "Sidebury" for Jim Keltner.
@@twelveytwelve Which is a shame because he is known as a real legend among session musicians. Pretty much ALL legendary artists who have hired him for their own sessions have said so at one time or another...and there have been far too many to count.
Roy had a great crooner voice ledgendary
Unfortunately 3 of those guys are gone from us. George Harrison, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison. So glad you finally got to this! Thank you!
Bruce Borneman - I can’t believe Bob Dylan outlived them all.
I was fortunate enough to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers months before his death in 2017.
There is a city park in his hometown, Gainesville, Florida named Tom Petty Park. His older brother, Bruce and one of his daughters, Adria were there for the ceremony.
@@swiftslick Doesn't make much sense does it?
@@bruceborneman -- It's just an odd occurrence of events. Roy Orbison was 52 when he died, Harrison was 58, Petty was 66. Jeff Lynne is 72 years old . Bob Dylan is 79 though.
George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and the great Jeff Lynne. 5 of the greatest artist of our time. Responsible for so much fantastic music. And of course the incomparable Jim Keltner. R.I.P Roy, George, and Tom.
I know this was from 2 years ago, but we will remember you Jamel for bringing joy and resurrection to the older great tunes!🙏💖
Hey Jamel, here’s one for you: George Harrison - My Sweet Lord
Yes! And 'Something'
Good song, but The Chiffons won their day in Court. Copyright. My Sweet Lord. Same Song.
Brilliant songs, both,
A couple of George Harrison's 90s hits are also worth checking out including when we was fab and got my mind set on you.
AlltelJohnny12....Just for info..........The Lord he is signing about is NOT The Lord you may thin it is. It's lord krishna
The tribute to Roy Orbison always gives me pause. I miss him so much!
The empty rocking chair - represent the passing of Roy Orbison, R I P. Best voice ever.
Classic song. A collection of legendary artists. ❤️. A song everyone can love.
Roy Orbinson RIP
George Harisson RIP
Tom Petty RIP he wares the hat
Good music great musicians
having had cancer twice and being a nurse in an er in these days...i had forgotten this song. thanks much for this vid, good sir and please keep making a difference in peoples' lives.
They just sent him to heaven ❤️✨🙏✨✌️💯
There is a lot of wisdom in this song, given to us by some of the greatest musicians of our time.
Jamel, you look so bummed out over what's happening in your country right now. Appreciate everything you do brother! Love from up here in Canada
You should react to some Roy Orbison, he started out on Sun Records with Elvis and Johnny Cash, legendary performer
Yes please check out Roy Orbison. One of the best, unique voices of all time!
Actually Roy Orbinson started out at a little studio in Clovis New Mexico called Norman Petty Studios. That little studio also brought the world Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings
These men were good friends & there were no egos with them
Good old great rock & roll music
Keep on keeping great music alive my brother
I don't usually check out reaction videos, but with this song, something hit me to watch your video, and I'm glad I did. Your expressions throughout the song, singing along, head bobbing, and generally just getting into the song, this video embodies what I feel inside every time I hear this song. Thank you!
Roy Orbison; original Sun Records with Elvis, Johnny Cash.
True, but he was not part of the "Million Dollar Quartet" of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash.
A whole lot of talent riding in the railroad car!
ALL brilliant musicians. Everything JEFF LYNNE touches “Turns To Gold” and Stone.❤️👏👏👏🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😘😘👈
These guys didn't put out a lot of music in their short time together but what they did was pure gold every member was a legend in their own rite
"It's alright...." This is the first song on my daily playlist so I can remember that everything is alright. I've been waiting for some time for you to find the Traveling Wilburys. Thanks so much for your reaction, Jamel. I loved it. Take care and be well. Peace.
Huge respect to you man. Youre reacting to everything no one else reacts to. And it's quality music like the Traveling Wilburys. At some point maybe react to George Harrison.
"Isn't it a Pity" would be my solo George recommendation.
What is Life! George Harrison. Really great upbeat song. You will love it.
George is good even when I'm P.O.'d about something: Wah Wah! is so cathartic!
He could react to George's "I've Got My Mind Set On You" and then Weird Al's parody of it, "This Song is Just Six Words Long". I remember the video George did for it, with all the activity happening in the background, always enjoyed seeing that one on Night Tracks back in the day
Me too, Jamel, me too. Every time I see that video, and that empty chair that Roy Orbison should have been sitting in, I cry.
We've lost too many Wilburys for my liking. These men and their music shaped my taste in music. Roy, who sang Pretty Woman (walking down the street) was a loss to those men as their loss was to me. I love and respect Roy but I was introduced to him much later in life. Tom has been with me since I got Damn The Torpedoes at 12. Yes when it was released. George has been in my heart since he was my favorite Beatle in 4th grade. I forever thank the Heavens for the Wilburys.
Elvis was quoted as saying “I won’t follow Roy Orbison.”
Facts...
Why did he say that?
@@altheaharris Because he admired him greatly. A hard act to follow :)
Elvis is also quoted as saying, Roy Orbison is the best singer ever.
ELVIS said the only singer who intimidated him was Roy. No higher complament!
