Perhaps the ultimate super group in RocknRoll. Five incredibly gifted rock icon friends, who enjoyed making music together for the pure pleasure of it. It's a great video and a sad video. Del, Roy, George and Tom have reached the end of the line. They are traveling through space and time. RIP gentlemen
I read an article that said the Wilburys were talking about inviting Del Shannon to join them, but he committed suicide before they could ask him. This recording was made as a posthumous tribute to Del. At least, that's what I read. I didn't make notes about where and when I read it.
@George Erdner Del actually recorded a couple of songs with some members of the Wilburys. It would have been fun to have him in the band, it's too bad depression got the better of Del and he committed suicide before he could join the group.
Agreed! I don't know what I was paying attention to at the time they were performing, but I missed out at that time. Now I have found them on UA-cam and realized what I missed, it breaks my heart that so many of them are gone too soon. The Traveling Wilburys were a treasure trove of talent.
The more you listen to Jeff Lynne, the more you realize how great a singer he is among all other things he can do in music. Music Genius. Long live Jeff Lynne! Still touring with Jeff Lynne's ELO and making albums at 74. Can't wait to see him in 2023 i hope.
Electric Light Orchestra and Jeff Lynne did an excellent cover of a Del Shannon song "Little Town Flirt" and in my opinion they did a wonderful job. ua-cam.com/video/20FDKjGIQqs/v-deo.html
This is probably the best cover of the Del Shannon song runaway ever produced. The Traveling Wilbury's nailed it perfectly. they were the ultimate super group.
Jeff Lynne nailed it! He sang it all the way and produced it as he did for all the Wilburys songs. It was his idea to cover this great song by his friend Del Shannon.
This is one of the best covers that I've ever heard across all genres of music. I think that Del would've been pleased with Jeff Lynne's smooth vocals. They knocked it out of the park.
The memories...of ALL of these artists is mind blowing! If you were listening to Del, Roy, Tom, George, Jeff, - this era - remember how these songs resonated? It gives me goosebumps to listen and watch them now. I wish our world was like it was during that time. Peace! ☮️
@@deblynn8178 Yes ma'am I agree with you on that!!!! We same age and I will listen to this music til I am gone!!!! Like you said... Timeless!!! You sound like a cool chick!!! Keep listening to the coolest music!!! I love it when people listen to my style of music!! Stay cool!!!! ✌️🎶😊
One more reason to see Jeff Lynne while he is still alive and well when his Tour will resume after freaking Covid. Celebrate Legends while they are still alive and remember them when they reach Heaven.

The hard part of gettin' old is watching all the musicians whose music I loved so much die off over the years. Sad to think that of all those guys in the Travelling Wilburys and Del Shannon,only Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne are still alive. I truly wish Roy had been given another five years to record with this super group.
I'm 74 sitting here listening my favorite group . It just doesn't get any better than this. It's truly sad that Del Shannon didn't become the 6th Wilbury. I think the group would have a little better, sadly, we'll never know.
l'm 75 and can not believe that l found out about these guys last night! l followed the Beatles, Bob, and Roy --- how could I have missed the Traveling Wilburys? l'm happy to have found them talking with friends!
I loved Runaway when it was released....I was 12. Now, at 71, it is foremost in my repertoire for performing for seniors. What a great cover by the Wilburys.
We're almost parallel in our time frames, I'm trailing you by two years. How wonderful you perform this for us seniors! And, yes, fantastic cover -- and tribute to Del Shannon!
I am 32 and my Dad is 72. Del I think was a mentor for my Dad during the Vietnam War and my Dad played lead guitar for him in the early 60s during a 3-month long summer tour. Tom Petty and Del were very good friends. Idk what exactly happened with all of this. But I am so happy that the Traveling Wilbury's did this song to commemorate Del. Some of us " younger" people still enjoy these classics, a time that was simpler. A time we didn't really get to see. But, my heart aches tonight for all of these great musicians, and the stories still untold. God Bless everyone and stay safe.
Why do people ask "who is listening to this in year X" in every comment section for an old song? Obviously if we're here we're fucking listening to the song.
Back to my youth... what joy!!! The beginning of the music of the future!! This started all Elvis, Prince. Beatles, Tom Petty and the Traveling Wilbury's.. on and on..
i was in pre-school when these guys were rolling out their first album and as a 4 year old, i remember telling my teacher they were my favourite ...real musicians to be cherished...
I wonder who was the genius who conceived the idea of The Travelling Wilburys and how they came to be. Great musicians all, but so few ‘super groups’ have ever come to be. Sad that some are now in rock and roll heaven but their music lives on, and thanks to all for that joy.
There's a lot of information on the founding of the Travelling Wilburys. But the short version of it is that George Harrison wanted a non-album B-side to go with a single ("This is Love" was to be the A-side) from his "Cloud Nine" album. Jeff Lynne was the producer of "Cloud Nine" so he was already involved. They planned to use Bob Dylan's studio. Harrison was a friend of Tom Petty and had left his guitar at Petty's house, when he went to pick it up he asked Petty to contribute to the single, and Dylan wanted to be part of it too. Then they went to see Roy Orbison perform live and wanted his voice in the band also. Once the intended B-side "Handle With Care" was created, they decided it was too good for just a B-side and wanted to create more songs together, for an entire album. Hence the Travelling Wilburys were born. The name apparently was Harrison's - and part of Harrison's sense of humor, since they didn't travel and "wilbury" was a joke about burying any unwanted sounds in the mix. Harrison was always considered the leader of the band (Tom Petty has stated this about the band being George's, even though George generously acted as if there wasn't really a leader).
I love how they achieved the original acoustic sound, just like the original Del Shannon sound. Some kinda music engineering wizardry, no doubt...but it sure didn't hurt it was the Wilburys doing it- the engineers had a great base of talent to work with! LOVE this!
one of the best songs in rock n roll history. only fitting that these guys would cover it. rest in peace george, roy, and del. your likes we'll never see again. nice job on the video mac..thank you
Del Shannon 1934-1990. If he had lingered just a minute longer his work was about to explode on the internet. A towering figure ripe for serious accolades and unprecedented recognition. We're even STILL trying to grasp just how influential he was. The TRAVELING WILBURYS verily worship through this rendition, each lovingly bearing a soft spot for this man's work and soul. Never.give.up.
An unprecedented group of extremely talented individuals who had all made it big and had nothing to prove; getting together and playing whatever they want while being beholden to nothing and no one.
Robert Shiell Yes, indeed, and they were having fun. You can see the contentment on their smiling faces. With so many talented minds, I think there was little effort in the song writing. It was spontaneous. ✌️
Hey! Thanks for posting! YOU just rocked my night! I love the Traveling Wilburys, I enjoyed the Beatles, and really loved Del Shannon's Runaway! I was born in 1962! So it was MY PARENTS--who introduced me to this gooooodddd music. My mother is THE one who turned me onto the Traveling Wilburys. This IS the last musical group--and common musical interest we shared together before she passed away in 2018! She was born in 1942. She grew up with the advent of Rock N' Roll and Elvis Presley! So when Disco came out during MY high School years--SHE was with it--and we enjoyed the new musical sounds together! Thanks for posting this--I have great memories of me and my mom--and my dad too, listening to great music like this!! My parents were married for 56 years plus before my mom died. I will 57 in December. My mom had me, 2 days before her 20th birthday on 12/24/62. I miss her so much. This IS for my Mother! Dad and I spend one day a week working on music and playing music, and this is how we honor mom. Love you Mom!
I really enjoyed your comment. My Mom liked some songs of Black Sabbath, so that made my Mom the coolest ever in my eyes. Mostly, she was a Charlie Pride fan, but obviously ventured out on occasion. lol
Fantastic video! Captured the joy they had creating timeless music mixed with friendship, admiration and perfect collaboration. Thanks for showing Jim Keltner, a very key component of their great sound.🙂
'Runaway', is definately one of my all time favourite songs it, swings, has a great natural progression and flow to it, Del had what it took. 'Hats Off To Larry' is another great Del Shannon hit.
Bloody brilliant post! Loved the Wilbury's and always wills - 5 guys who checked their ego's and made great music - great tribute to Del Shannon. These guys could play just about anything and it would sound great.
I love when elite artist makes covers of golden gems like this song. I am sure one of em heard this song and then it got contagious to the rest of the group and then they just had to do it.
+THEMCCARTNEYCHANNEL thank you for this. I get.. don't know how to put it.. I go back to where life was simple and the music was good. I was brought up on this music. thanks for the memories
What a classic song sung beautifully and different.. thank you for this version, I would never have heard this if you had not posted it. Thanx again!!!...
Del Shannon and Roy Orbison were of GENIUS CALIBOR .. So advanced in music .. He should have been a Solid #1 pick for Wilburys, ahead of the others in the group pack. This bugged Del to no extent. Now he is Singing in heaven with Roy Orbison. God Bless them both for their gift, to us, of Great music.

Truly beautifully put.
An incredible cover by an incredible supergroup.
Jeff Lynne's vocals are always magic.
beautiful angelic voice
His cover of Give Me Love at The Concert For George is still unbelievable.
And even now as an older man he still has this wonderful voice 🎉
I have thought that Jeff Lynn is incredible
Thanks electric light orchestra fantastic 👏
Let us not forget the kick ass drumming of Jim Keltner
I didn’t know Jim Keltner was a Traveling Wilbury. God Bless Him. 🙏
Brilliant member of the band
@@janelloyd4332 first time I really saw him was at The Concert for Bangladesh. I can still hear George Harrison saying, also on Drums , Jim Keltner.
@@smittyinwootown5640 technically, he's not a Wilbury. He is credited as "Buster Sidebury"
Finally, someone mentions "Buster Sidebury"
Love the Wilburys,best group ever was♥️🎸🎵
Nice version, recorded as a tribute after Dell Shannon's 1990 suicide. Three of the five Wilburys are gone now. RIP, you talented people!
I had no idea that they did this song to
At the time I thought the Wilburys were pretty kool...now that we've lost Roy, George & Tom I realize they were a treasure....
Miss those guys... glad we still have Jeff with new material.
Agreed! I don't know what I was paying attention to at the time they were performing, but I missed out at that time. Now I have found them on UA-cam and realized what I missed, it breaks my heart that so many of them are gone too soon. The Traveling Wilburys were a treasure trove of talent.
I feel you
Thank God for u tube!
@@gailsype2436 A treasure trove - nice.
The more you listen to Jeff Lynne, the more you realize how great a singer he is among all other things he can do in music. Music Genius. Long live Jeff Lynne! Still touring with Jeff Lynne's ELO and making albums at 74. Can't wait to see him in 2023 i hope.
He's fantastic.
I listen to Rain Is Falling (from Time) and get blown away every time at Jeff's vocals. I could name many songs he sings with that same thought.
Electric Light Orchestra and Jeff Lynne did an excellent cover of a Del Shannon song "Little Town Flirt" and in my opinion they did a wonderful job.
ua-cam.com/video/20FDKjGIQqs/v-deo.html
@@williamjones4483 Better than the original.
He's absolutely amazing and so underappreciated as a singer. I got to see him play with ELO a couple of years ago and his voice is still so pure.
Jeff Lynne's beautiful voice really stands out in this song.
Del's gotta be proud. Love these guys. Best of the best.
This is probably the best cover of the Del Shannon song runaway ever produced. The Traveling Wilbury's nailed it perfectly.
they were the ultimate super group.
Yep.... is the only response...
Jeff Lynne nailed it! He sang it all the way and produced it as he did for all the Wilburys songs. It was his idea to cover this great song by his friend Del Shannon.

@@josefinaneri4196 You understand perfectly 😊
Check out Bonnie Raitt's version. It's great too
As solo artists, they were brilliant!!
As a band, they were mind-blowing!!
It's always great to see and hear Roy Orbison! Wilburys were a fabulous group, but Roy is still my favorite.❤
This is one of the best covers of a 60's classic I have ever heard. The guys knocked it out of the park! Magnificent!
RIP: Roy, George and Tom. And, of course, Del. Rockon Jeff and Bob in memorial of The Wilbury's.
This is one of the best covers that I've ever heard across all genres of music. I think that Del would've been pleased with Jeff Lynne's smooth vocals. They knocked it out of the park.

Jeff's voice is smooth as silk.
They were truly a Supergroup.
They were THE supergroup.

What an incredible line-up of musicians, each and everyone of them.
To be fair, these guys made up what has been and still is the best ever super group, not just of their time but all time
AGREE totally.
and it's not even close, what a gift.
I couldn't have phrased it more accurately or beautifully.
Kind regards, Roland
The memories...of ALL of these artists is mind blowing! If you were listening to Del, Roy, Tom, George, Jeff, - this era - remember how these songs resonated? It gives me goosebumps to listen and watch them now. I wish our world was like it was during that time. Peace! ☮️
What a great video!!!! Priceless!!!!! Hard to believe how many of The Wilburys are gone!!!! Living on as long as I am still around!!! I bow to thee!!!

Wonderful how they did not mess with it, kept it as it was meant to be - fabulous band.

They loved it so much they didn't change it

The Wilburys could make any song a classic.🎉😮
This is a clasic

Brilliant cover with Lynne doing superb on vocals.
Wish these guys had done more together.

Why do people ask "who is listening to this in year X" in every comment section for an old song?
Obviously if we're here we're fucking listening to the song.

People love that shit.
Yep!
Have you'r fun with filth from the cradle
I am I want to hear everything these guys recorded. George was my favorite Beetle and a fan of all the rest of this group
Together its beyond belief.

Elvis, Prince. Beatles, Tom Petty and the Traveling Wilbury's.. on and on..

As a young teen, Del's great song was #1 in my heart.
This still brings out deep emotions, even as a cover song!
This is better than the original!! I love the song but they killed it!! Amazing group of icons.
So cool Jeff got to record his favorite song with the band

Tribute to Del Shannon from the Traveling Willburys. Kudos
Oh memories of my youth and hitch hiking in Scotland to get to youth hostels. The best of times the 1960s.
I absolutely love this!
Del Shannon 1934-1990.
If he had lingered just a minute longer his work was about to explode on the internet. A towering figure ripe for serious accolades and unprecedented recognition. We're even STILL trying to grasp just how influential he was. The TRAVELING WILBURYS verily worship through this rendition, each lovingly bearing a soft spot for this man's work and soul. Never.give.up.
God bless him. God bless The Wilburys. 😢
Yes! I think he would’ve held on a bit longer if he’d have known how important his music would become. So sad that he didn’t get see his revival
Thank you.
He is definitely missed! ❤❤❤ 4 Del

Yes, indeed, and they were having fun. You can see the contentment on their smiling faces.
With so many talented minds, I think there was little effort in the song writing. It was spontaneous. ✌️
At the same time they were having fun, they were NAILING it! No slouching on any of their records!
Nice to see George free and open, no leashes.
