Roy Orbison was asked one-time what's your approach to writing songs, he said, "Well one time I had a dream I was at an Elvis concert and he sang a song right to me. When I woke up I realized Elvis hadn't ever done that song, so i knew it was for me so I wrote it"
I heard that Jimi Hendrix was asked what it was like to be the greatest guitarist.... he said you'd need to ask Rory Gallagher! I'd like these things to be true. I like when a 'superstar' can still be humble and show respect to fellow artists.
Roy and Elvis were good friends. I remember hearing a snippet of an interview with Roy shortly before his death, where he said that the two would hang out together, play music and drink sodas.
Dude, did you just sit there and watch Bob Dillion, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and George Harrison and not recognize ANY of them?!?! Those are four of the greatest musicians who have ever walked the earth! Put together, probably the best collection of talent the world has ever seen. I'm not busting/hating on you, but that is amazing! You will not see more gifted people in one place for the rest of your life (excluding a picture of the last supper of course).
The Last Waltz (the Scorcese docu-gig of The Bands farewell) is probably my favourite for the collection of amazing artists coming together. It's amazing.
Traveling Wilburys super group: George Harrison from the Beatles Roy Orbison (sang "Pretty Woman") Tom Petty Bob Dylan Jeff Lynn from Electric Light Orchestra Jim Keltner (drummer) Each were massive artists in their own right, going back to the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers) would go on to have his biggest two albums after this (produced by Jeff Lynn).
Hey, thanks for listing Jim Keltner on drums. He looked familiar too, but couldn't remember his name. The other iconic guys are responsible for about a billion hit songs!!!
5 legends (6 including Jim Keltner) in one room just hanging out and making legendary music, and none of them had an ego! You can't get any better than The Traveling Wilburys!
Yes end of the line is awesome. So sad Roy passed just before shooting started for the video. You hear him sing but he is represented by a photo and a guitar in a rocking chair.
By the time the album was released I believe Roy Orbison had already died-in their next video from the album End Of The Line they are on a train & Orbison is signified by an empty chair rocking back & forth. Since then Both George Harrison & recently Tom Petty have passed away leaving ELO maestro & producer extraordinaire Jeff Lynne & Bob Dylan as the only surviving members. Did you really not recognise any of these legends?
That's correct. Roy died on Dec. 6, 1988 and the album was released in January 1989. He was one of only two artists in the history of R&R (Elvis was the other) to have two songs in the Top 5 at the time of his death (Handle with Care and You got it). A true musical legend and Rock and Roll Royalty. I miss him everyday!
I didn't appreciate the Wilbury's as much as I should have during their short stint together. I wish Roy had lived long enough for them to put out a couple more albums. My God, what a collection of talent. Their chemistry and harmonizing was amazing for such a diverse group with completely different musical backgrounds. No egos on display, just brilliant singing and mutual respect. Rest in peace Roy, George and Tom.
These guys are rock and roll royalty. As said below,George Harrison(The Beatles),Jeff Lynn(Electric Light Orchestra), Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dillon. Unfortunately most of them have passed on. Only Jeff Lynn and Bob Dylan remain. I highly recommend that you look them up individually and see what they are all about. I don't think you will be disappointed. Thanks for the vid.
I never thought of it before, but this was a perfect song for him to react to. he reacts to songs that we all know and love, but he has never heard them. This was also a song that we all know and love, by a group of legends that we all know and love, and he had never heard the song or recognized the members. Perfection!
OMG legends! It's hard to even believe all this talent could fit in one place. I'm on a Tom Petty kick right now. Do you not know who these people are Ty? Um. One is Bob Dylan and I really hope I don't have to say more. He influenced the music scene every bit as much as the Beatles or Elvis. Bob dylan did how does it feel to be on your own with no direction home like a rolling Stone. there's George Harrison from a little group called The Beatles and sang a song called while my guitar gently weeps. Roy Orbison (pretty woman walking down the street) Jeff Lynne is the singer from electric light orchestra (don't bring me down... no no no no no ooooh hoo) and Tom petty (top hat) is the kid in the bunch who died last year. His really big hits were like...and I'm free.....free fallin... And also last dance with Mary jane, one more time to kill the pain. They were all in the legend status of their careers when they got together. It was a supergroup of the highest order made possible only bec they were as humble and generous as they were talented and they were all excellent collaborators. *All these references are like....titles with some lyrics that may ring a bell to ya. Seriously if you want to learn about music...none of these men can be overlooked.
Lethia Page I know right! How could he not know those legends! Ty should have recognized Roy, since he reacted to Indian Summer (which features Roy’s fantastic range!) and Pretty Woman (but it was blocked).
“End of the Line” is also a great Wilbury song. But so is pretty much any Wilbury song... It’s George Harrison from the Beatles, Jeff Lynne from ELO, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison. With that much talent you can’t go wrong.
@ShariSez1 lol, you are taking yourself way to seriously right now. He also is born into and immersed into a very different culture where he would be LESS likely to hear/know. My daughter is younger and she is familiar but b/c of me - Point is that it all gets thinned out as tie goes on - less trickle down. There will be a day, if Jesus doesn't return first when very few will know who the Beatles were (for example), though I know that is painful for some of you to hear.
@ShariSez1 No, the other commenter is right. Think about this. Have you ever heard someone say something like, "you've never read that book? It's a classic!" There is literally so many classics now that you don't mathematically have time in your life to read them all. Some classic books might as well dwell on a cloud in another sky of another planet, in another galaxy 100 thousand light years away. You'll never even touch some of these books by accident. It's a strange thought indeed. Mesmerizing, even. Think of all the good music out. It's the same deal. You'll never get to it all. They are creating new music every day. There isn't enough time in your lives to listen to it all. Just a fact.
This band is just gonna launch into 5 or more musician/bands.... just posting and reacting to one song from each of these guys is... well, it's hypothetical....can't just listen to one....THERE! I said it!
These are all well-known singers in their own right who came together for this band. George Harrison (of the Beatles), Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan.
@@sarahkinsey5434 I had to go back & watch the video again to see who you were talking about. I don't always pay close attention to the video if I'm watching the chat. So, who was the dude on the drums?
George Harrison was the "driver" in this band... partly to recognize the influence and respect he had for Roy Orbison.. he got these guys together to play for Roy.. the song "Anything you Want - you Got it" -and they seemed to get along so well, they decided to tour and record an album... it's sad that now, we have only Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne - having lost Roy, George and Tom over the last few years...
Some ofther songs from the members of the Traveling Wilbury's : "Nelson Wilbury" - George Harrison "Otis Wilbury" - Jeff Lynne "Lefty Wilbury" - Roy Orbison "Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr." - Tom Petty "Lucky Wilbury" - Bob Dylan George Harrison - Here Comes the Sun, My Sweet Lord (former member of The Beatles) Jeff Lynne - Can't Get It Out of My Head, Turn to Stone (co-founder of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)) Roy Orbison - Pretty Woman, Crying Tom Petty - Free Falling, I Won't Back Down, You Don't Know How It Feels (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) Bob Dylan - Tangled up in Blue, Blowing in the Wind, Gotta Serve Somebody
This group is made up of serious Rock Legends, Roy Orbison (of Pretty Woman fame) George Harrison (one of the Beatles) Tom Petty (songs...Free Fallin', Refugee, Won't Back Down...etc and etc and etc...) Jeff Lynn (Electric Light Orchestra -'ELO' fame - songs Mr. Blue Sky, Don't Bring Me Down, Evil Woman) Bob Dillon (Knocking at Heaven's Door, Like A Rolling Stone, Blowing In The Wind) They did another music video called END OF THE LINE. But unfortunately Roy Orbison died before the video was made... so during his singing part in the song....the video shows a rocking chair with Roy's guitar in it. Roy Orbison was one of my favorite singers....he and Tom Petty...are one of the very few entertainers I actually cried for when I learned about their deaths. Of this group...Jeff Lynn and Bob Dillon are the only ones still around. George Harrison passed away due to cancer back in 2001.
@@sarahkinsey5434 one of his lesser known songs is one of my favorites, it was on his Mystery Girl album and called 'The Only One' Of his older songs...I always liked the song Crying... I still can get goosebumps listening to how incredible his vocal range was...the sound of his voice...so unique and just mesmerizing to listen to.
StormyPeak I loved it when he he would hit those high notes, like an opera singer. I am always amazed by the sheer magnitude of his voice, he barely moves his mouth!
@@sarahkinsey5434 I'm glad some of the younger generation is still listening to him and admiring his voice. I was about 12 years old the first time his singing caught my attention....the song Blue Bayou...still remember that... my uncle played it on a new stereo he bought. My grandma (his mom) was there and she requested the song from his record collection. I'm 55 now and it makes me sad sometimes that most kids won't listen to the music from the past that Their music now was built upon. Also, in case you didn't know - Roy had some tragic losses in his life. His wife was killed when they went out on motor bikes and she crashed her bike. A few years later, he was in England, and his house in the USA burned killing two of his three children.
StormyPeak most music now is shit, rap sucks, and the stuff on the radio sounds the same. I prefer classic rock (Pink Floyd especially), alternative (Elbow), and pop-classical (The Piano Guys). Yeah I know about those tragedies, learning about what happened made me love him even more. He was such a nice man too, he definitely didn’t deserve what happened to him. But after those tragedies, he married gorgeous Barbara, and had a great career. He left us too soon though.
Best all Star band of all time...Came together by a fluke. Gorge Harrison had a song he wanted to Record at Bob Dylan's home studio. Tom Petty was at Georges house and said i want to go. George had left his guitar at Jeff Lynn's house, when they went to get it Jeff said i wanna go. When they got to Bob Dylan's Roy Orbison was there and they both said they wanted to play on it too. The recording of that song went so well they wanted to record more songs, but Bob was going on tour and they didn't have much time so they said lets write and record 1 song a day for the next 9 days and they did.
***The Traveling Wilburys*** = Consist of 6 Rock & Roll Icons who got together to make an album, Just For The Hell Of It...... George Harrison (Beatles) * Roy Orbison * Tom Petty * Jeff Lynne (ELO) * Bob Dylan * Jim Keltner (drums) ...... RIP George Harrison...... RIP Tom Petty...... RIP Roy Orbison
I don't know whether to laugh that he didn't know a single one or to be very sad. These guys represented the greats of the best times in rock. I think I'm just sad. And sad partly because I was around listening to every single one of them on the radio.
This is going to sound pretty terrible, but if it wasnt for silly things like Guitar Hero, or Guardians of the Galaxy promoting old hits, a great deal of younger people will not even hear this great music or know of the legendary artists. There is so much good music out there, it seems a shame that younger people (who have the internet and RUclips) dont even know to look for it.
Steve Fletcher Although my parents played the “oldies” when I was a kid, and I knew a lot of the songs, it was Rock Band in 2010 that got me into The Beatles. In this video, I knew George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Bob Dylan, but I didn’t know the other two.
If you really don't know who the members of this accidental supergroup are you have been living under a rock for too long. Each member is a rock icon each with a huge back collection of great music.
These musicians were all signed to different record labels. They could not legally record and release an album. The way around that was to release it but not use their real names. Each member used a different pseudo name. I think Roy Orbison was Wilbur Wilbury. But nowhere on the record or album cover was their real names. The album was recorded and the first video was made. Roy Orbison then passed away. Another video was made without him. Two other Traveling Wilbury albums were made with the remaining members.
The Traveling Wilbury's are the true definition of the term "supergroup." I've listed the names of the main members and listed some of their accomplishments. It may serve to jog your memory. Bob Dylan - Knockin' on Heaven's Door, The Times They Are A Changin', Like a Rolling Stone George Harrison - Founding member of the Beatles - My Sweet Lord, Something, Give Me Love, When We Was Fab, Here Comes The Sun Roy Orbison - Oh! Pretty Woman, Only The Lonely, You Got It, Crying, In Dreams Jeff Lynne - Founding member of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) who also wrote, arranged and produced very nearly all the band's music. - Mr. Blue Sky, Turn To Stone, Don't Bring Me Down, Livin' Thing, All Over The World, Evil Woman, Telephone Line, Rockaria!, Do Ya Tom Petty - Freefallin', Learning To Fly, You Got Lucky, Refugee, I Won't Back Down, Mary Jane's Last Dance These guys are Rock Royalty, to put it mildly.
I now know how young you are, Sweetie! The fact you didn't recognize one of the Beatles, Tom Petty, BOB DYLAN, Roy Orbison, or Jeff Lynne from ELO says a lot! But I think it is great you listened to them. I LOVE the song END OF THE LINE as well. Roy passed away before they were able to film a video to End of the Line but they made sure he was represented. Of that group of men; George, Roy, and Tom are now gone and only the two -- Jeff and Bob -- are still alive.
The video for their Song called The End Of The Line was dedicated to Roy Orbinson who passed away. His picture is seen in the rocking chair during the video.
Oh dear Ty. This is a supergroup - some of the top musicians of the time got together and formed a band. I don't need to name the members as people have already done so below.
Shocking. Shocking. If one cannot recognize George Harrison, let alone Bob Dylan, one has no business doing anything but listen...without comment. Shocking.
The guitar that George Harrison is playing is a Traveling Wilburys promotional guitar. I still have my TW-300. It was made by Gretsch at a time when they were looking for capital to start full production again, around 1988. They're close cousins to the Danelectro Silvertone of the 1950's. I have a '59, and they do sound similar.
This was so awesome! Epic moment with epic artists. MRM you need to do "Roy Orbison - Crying." Try a live performance video. Thank you for all you continue to do and for making me smile. Been tough few months but I'm so pleased to see you still here and doing so well.
Group members & and where they came from : Jeff Lynne from Electric Light Orchestra-song:'Livin' Thing',Tom Petty & The Heart breakers-song:'Free fallin', Roy Orbison-song:'Pretty Woman', Bob Dylan-'Like a Rolling Stone' And of course... George Harrisonfrom The Beetles,song:'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'. ;) The Traveling Wilburys formed spontaneously one day at Bob Dylan’s house in Malibu, California, where George Harrison had invited his pals Tom Petty and Roy Orbison to help him and producer Jeff Lynne record a B side for his just-released Cloud Nine. “Jeff and George roughed out the music in the afternoon, and Bob actually barbecued chicken for us,” Petty remembered. “While we ate, we all sat around throwing lines out, got the lyric done, sang it and cut the track. And that became ‘Handle With Care.’ George came up with the title from a road case.” They hadn’t recorded a B side, they’d cut a hit - and become a band.
TedLenn0n I miss Roy after watching this. The Traveling Wilburys introduced me to his music, and I have been listening to nothing but him for the past few months!
The guy in the black sunglasses is Roy Orbison. Looks weird as hell but has the voice of an angel. Check out his song Cryin’. Also, another great Traveling Wilburys tune is Tweeter and the Monkey Man. As said many times every one of those guys was already a music legend by the mid-80’s when they did the TW thing. When you have the lead guitar player from the f-ing BEATLES in your band then you are legit.
Those guys ARE the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Songwriter (Harrison), The Poet (Dylan), The Rebel (Petty), The Voice Orbison), and The Genius (Lynne).
It was quite amazing to watch you watch this video with the camera going slowly from person to person as the song progresses and thinking "surely, you'll recognise..." and it just not happening. I thought I'd be upset but I actually enjoyed it a lot! 😂
"You Got It" is an excellent song. It was actually on Roy Orbison's album "Mystery Girl" (which by the way is an awesome song of his too) but, on "You Got It", this was written about it: “You Got It” was the lead single off Roy Orbison’s posthumous album Mystery Girl. Written and performed with The Traveling Wilburys partners Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, the song hit #9 in the US, his last Top 10 hit in the country, and #3 in the UK.
What a line up of superstars. George Harrison from the Beatles, the only only Roy Orbison, Tom Petty from Tom Petty and the heartbreakers and of course the amazing Bob Dylan 💕
Knowing who these guys all are and how they got together brings new meaning to this song - yes - old guys who got together - you were hearing familiar songs unable to put it together b/c they were all icons - separate groups and singers. No, not twins. They showed baby pictures of all of them.
History:The Traveling Wilburys was a supergroup composed of George Harrison from the Beatles,Jeff Lynne from the Electric Light Orchestra,Bob Dylan(solo act),Roy Orbison(solo act),and Tom Petty from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. They only did two albums together. Sadly Roy Orbison died right after this in 1988,George Harrison died in 2001,and Tom Petty died in 2017. Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne are still with us.
Tye - You reacted to "Indian Summer" not to long ago. Roy Orbison who sang the "I'm so tired of being lonely" bit sang on Indian Summer and hit some notes that made you scratch your head! On this album he had his own solo song called "Not Alone Anymore" which you should check out. It's really good. Also recommended from Roy: Crying (duet with KD Lang) Walk On The Crowd You Got It The Comedians You'll really scratch your head with those ones.
They got together and wrote the songs in about a week .one of them was by picking up brochures,they play the fridge in one of them it’s produced by Jeff lyne ( ELO) go look up some more ( mainly because I can’t remember the titles!)
"The Traveling Wilbury's" is a collaborative effort by a group of legendary musicians. Another such group is "The Highway Men", a group of country "outlaw" legends. Their most famous song is "The Highway Man".
The lead singer was George Harrison, former Beatle. This is one of the last songs he recorded. The others in this group were friends and supporters of George. Roy Orbison passed away, first. Next, was George Harrisn, who fought a great battle against cancer, which started in the throat and spread to the brain. Next to expire was, Tom Petty, the blond guy with the top hat. I think he ODed. He and his wife divorced and she was granted custody of their two daughters. His friend, George, dying was a tremendous loss to Petty. So, those who remain are Jeff Lynn, guitarist with sunglasses, Bob Dylan, whom we all respect and love...in addition to the drummer, whose name I don't know. R.I.P. Roy, George and Tom.
Ty! Those five people are ridiculously famous. The lead vocalist was a Beatle (George Harrison). Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne (ELO) are the other four.
Sadly most of these fine musicians have already passed away. They came together long after they each found fame from the 60's on. Tom Petty was the youngest and just recently passed away. He was from Gainsville Fl and met Elvis Presley when he was filming in Inglis Fl and wanted to be a rocker ever since. Yes, those were pictures of each of them in their youth.
Well I'm stunned. Yeah I guess it would trigger something to think you've heard it before, maybe just because these are some of the top music artists of all time with some of the most famous and recognizable voices ever recorded. George Harrison (GEORGE HARRISON!!) formed this group in 1988 after they had recorded a bonus track for his 1987 album, and the record company said it was too good to just be a single, so they should do a whole album. With a band consisting of Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison (!!!) Tom Petty, they couldn't exactly call themselves Dylan, Harrison, Orbison, etc., so they came up with the fictional family name of Wilbury. I'd say there hasn't been this much talent in one room since that famous day in December of 1956 in Sun Record Studios in Memphis, when the so-called "Million Dollar Quartet" did an unplanned jam session that forever lives in rock and roll history!
Someone from the record company was in the studio and asked what the album title was. Harrison looked over at a crate and read Handle With Care, so that’s what he told the guy. They wrote the song that afternoon.
George Harrison Beatles : something, here comes the sun Bob Dylan : Blowing in the wind, like a rolling Stone, along the watchtower, Knocking on heaven's door Tom Petty: Don't come round here no more Learning to fly, I won't back down, Free falling Roy Orbison: Oh pretty woman, only the lonely, It's over, crying
if you wold like to hear something that is very smoooooth. . . it's an instrumental, written back in the 60's. . called Green Onions (performed live at Daryl's house) .performed originally by Booker T and the MG's. . .this version features Book T on the organ, and Daryl Hall (of Hall and Oates) ....features an incredible keyboard, a great sax, and a Go-Pro camera mounted on the neck of a guitar. . .I promise you, .. .you WILL like this. Check it out! Green Onions, live at Daryl's House
I'm glad that he is open to looking into various music performers. I'm sure there are a lot that I am still unaware of. Still, I find it sad that he is watching/listening to 5 legends together as a super group, and he doesn't seem to recognize any of them.
Someone once asked Elvis what it was like to have the greatest singing voice in the world? His response. go ask Roy Orbison.
Roy Orbison was asked one-time what's your approach to writing songs, he said, "Well one time I had a dream I was at an Elvis concert and he sang a song right to me. When I woke up I realized Elvis hadn't ever done that song, so i knew it was for me so I wrote it"

Thanks. Saved me from explaining it.
I am disappointed that these icons of music for the last half of the 20th century could not be recognized as anything more than "did these old guys".
We've lost so many.

The best statement of the Wilberries outside of Wilberries :)
Rushmore indeed!
He’s getting his music education on his own and that’s always a good thing. 🙂
William Jordan Mount Rushmore of rock ‘n’ roll is a perfect way of describing these guys!
I just shook my head. Its like not knowing who Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, or Marvin Gaye are.
I’d take this down my friend it’s embarrassing you don’t know just one of these musical geniuses
5 legends (6 including Jim Keltner) in one room just hanging out and making legendary music, and none of them had an ego! You can't get any better than The Traveling Wilburys!
People rarely mention Keltner, but I think he was the perfect choice for the group.
Steve Johnson so true! I think he was especially good in Vol. 2
The Highwaymen are to country music what The Traveling Wilbury's are to Pop.
End Of The Line by travelling wilburys is a good one as well
The music video for that song makes me so sad. The tribute to Roy was so sweet.

I like this fella but he must of been raised on the dark side of the moon never to have heard these songs.
Check out "Only The Lonely" or "Crying" by Roy Orbison.
You forgot Pretty Woman.
I left out many great Orbison songs.
Awesome choices.
I really think he does not know who this band was comprised of. WOW!
Shame on you. You don't know George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty? Oh young Young'un have missed a lot
you forgot to mention Jeff Lynne the genius of ELO.....shame on you, big time.
Jeez Louise, people. Its Bob Dylan, not "dillon".
The problem may be that Dylan might auto correct ...
“End of the Line” is also a great Wilbury song. But so is pretty much any Wilbury song...
It’s George Harrison from the Beatles, Jeff Lynne from ELO, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison.
With that much talent you can’t go wrong.
just about every guy in this group; was a legend in their own right, do you seriously not know one...?!
Give him a break ,,, he is young and there is so much music to sift through these days.
@ShariSez1 lol, you are taking yourself way to seriously right now. He also is born into and immersed into a very different culture where he would be LESS likely to hear/know. My daughter is younger and she is familiar but b/c of me - Point is that it all gets thinned out as tie goes on - less trickle down. There will be a day, if Jesus doesn't return first when very few will know who the Beatles were (for example), though I know that is painful for some of you to hear.
@ShariSez1 No, the other commenter is right.
Think about this. Have you ever heard someone say something like, "you've never read that book? It's a classic!" There is literally so many classics now that you don't mathematically have time in your life to read them all. Some classic books might as well dwell on a cloud in another sky of another planet, in another galaxy 100 thousand light years away. You'll never even touch some of these books by accident. It's a strange thought indeed. Mesmerizing, even. Think of all the good music out. It's the same deal. You'll never get to it all. They are creating new music every day. There isn't enough time in your lives to listen to it all. Just a fact.
@ShariSez1 What the fuck are you talking about? You can speed read as much as you want. You'll never have read every book you might want to.
@ShariSez1 For instance, me. I want to know everything about everything. I'll never get to it all.
Man you need to listen to Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, legends right there
This band is just gonna launch into 5 or more musician/bands.... just posting and reacting to one song from each of these guys is... well, it's hypothetical....can't just listen to one....THERE! I said it!

💖🎶🎵🎶💙💛💚 💙💖💔🖤💜💛💚🎶🎶🎵💟👀🎤🎸🎼🎶📯🔔🔊
These are all well-known singers in their own right who came together for this band. George Harrison (of the Beatles), Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan.
Don't forget Jeff Lynne!
@@sarahkinsey5434 Oops! Thanks for pointing that out. I guess he was the drummer? I was just going by the ones I recognized.
sagittarian1955 Jeff is the other guitarist with sunglasses and the beard. He is famous for ELO and for producing other artists
@@sarahkinsey5434 I had to go back & watch the video again to see who you were talking about. I don't always pay close attention to the video if I'm watching the chat. So, who was the dude on the drums?
sagittarian1955 Jim Keltner was on drums. He’s a great session drummer for legends like Bob Dylan and George Harrison
Man..all the musical talent in this band. It's been a long time since I've heard these guys
End of the Line is great one too!!
yes it is Holly....one of my fav's
Wow. The supergroup to end all supergroups and you didn't know who they were.
George Harrison was the "driver" in this band... partly to recognize the influence and respect he had for Roy Orbison.. he got these guys together to play for Roy.. the song "Anything you Want - you Got it" -and they seemed to get along so well, they decided to tour and record an album... it's sad that now, we have only Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne - having lost Roy, George and Tom over the last few years...
You saw Rock royalty and had no clue.
Youth don't know there history of music. Reason being is that music is almost always not tought in school anymore.
I grew up on all of this music, my dad is a massive fan, me also. Tom Petty and Roy Orbison and Traveling Willburys are legendary!
The Travelling Wilbury's were a supergroup formed by George Harrison of the Beatles. Other members are Bob Dylan Tom Petty etc
The name “Wilburys” came from Harrison when they were recording and didn’t like a particular sound and he said, We’ll bury it” and thus, Wilburys.
Some ofther songs from the members of the Traveling Wilbury's :
"Nelson Wilbury" - George Harrison
"Otis Wilbury" - Jeff Lynne
"Lefty Wilbury" - Roy Orbison
"Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr." - Tom Petty
"Lucky Wilbury" - Bob Dylan
George Harrison - Here Comes the Sun, My Sweet Lord (former member of The Beatles)
Jeff Lynne - Can't Get It Out of My Head, Turn to Stone (co-founder of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO))
Roy Orbison - Pretty Woman, Crying
Tom Petty - Free Falling, I Won't Back Down, You Don't Know How It Feels (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers)
Bob Dylan - Tangled up in Blue, Blowing in the Wind, Gotta Serve Somebody
It's a great story on the CD case about how the Wilburys started out as a stationary people...
Of course, Roy just had to name himself after Lefty Frizzell. Great stuff! :D
You make me feel so OLD! Difficult to realize people don't recognize some of the greatest artists of our time.
This group is made up of serious Rock Legends,
Roy Orbison (of Pretty Woman fame)
George Harrison (one of the Beatles)
Tom Petty (songs...Free Fallin', Refugee, Won't Back Down...etc and etc and etc...)
Jeff Lynn (Electric Light Orchestra -'ELO' fame - songs Mr. Blue Sky, Don't Bring Me Down, Evil Woman)
Bob Dillon (Knocking at Heaven's Door, Like A Rolling Stone, Blowing In The Wind)
They did another music video called END OF THE LINE.
But unfortunately Roy Orbison died before the video was made... so during his singing part in the song....the video shows a rocking chair with Roy's guitar in it.
Roy Orbison was one of my favorite singers....he and Tom Petty...are one of the very few entertainers I actually cried for when I learned about their deaths. Of this group...Jeff Lynn and Bob Dillon are the only ones still around. George Harrison passed away due to cancer back in 2001.
StormyPeak I’m almost 19, but I love love love Roy! The Wilburys introduced me to him, and I can’t get enough of that voice!
@@sarahkinsey5434 one of his lesser known songs is one of my favorites, it was on his Mystery Girl album and called 'The Only One'
Of his older songs...I always liked the song Crying... I still can get goosebumps listening to how incredible his vocal range was...the sound of his voice...so unique and just mesmerizing to listen to.
StormyPeak I loved it when he he would hit those high notes, like an opera singer. I am always amazed by the sheer magnitude of his voice, he barely moves his mouth!
@@sarahkinsey5434 I'm glad some of the younger generation is still listening to him and admiring his voice. I was about 12 years old the first time his singing caught my attention....the song Blue Bayou...still remember that... my uncle played it on a new stereo he bought. My grandma (his mom) was there and she requested the song from his record collection. I'm 55 now and it makes me sad sometimes that most kids won't listen to the music from the past that Their music now was built upon.
Also, in case you didn't know - Roy had some tragic losses in his life.
His wife was killed when they went out on motor bikes and she crashed her bike. A few years later, he was in England, and his house in the USA burned killing two of his three children.
StormyPeak most music now is shit, rap sucks, and the stuff on the radio sounds the same. I prefer classic rock (Pink Floyd especially), alternative (Elbow), and pop-classical (The Piano Guys).
Yeah I know about those tragedies, learning about what happened made me love him even more. He was such a nice man too, he definitely didn’t deserve what happened to him. But after those tragedies, he married gorgeous Barbara, and had a great career. He left us too soon though.
Good ole Roy! Lot's of the good one's are now gone.
They're all very famous musicians and were together in their older years
Best all Star band of all time...Came together by a fluke. Gorge Harrison had a song he wanted to Record at Bob Dylan's home studio. Tom Petty was at Georges house and said i want to go. George had left his guitar at Jeff Lynn's house, when they went to get it Jeff said i wanna go. When they got to Bob Dylan's Roy Orbison was there and they both said they wanted to play on it too. The recording of that song went so well they wanted to record more songs, but Bob was going on tour and they didn't have much time so they said lets write and record 1 song a day for the next 9 days and they did.
jumplittledoggie jumpjump actually he had his guitar at Tom’s house :D
Lol yea I wouldn't be surprised if I got a couple of the details wrong but it really was a great example of all of the planets in alignment.
***The Traveling Wilburys*** = Consist of 6 Rock & Roll Icons who got together to make an album, Just For The Hell Of It...... George Harrison (Beatles) * Roy Orbison * Tom Petty * Jeff Lynne (ELO) * Bob Dylan * Jim Keltner (drums) ...... RIP George Harrison...... RIP Tom Petty...... RIP Roy Orbison
Great bunch of guys!
I don't know whether to laugh that he didn't know a single one or to be very sad. These guys represented the greats of the best times in rock. I think I'm just sad. And sad partly because I was around listening to every single one of them on the radio.
Roy Orbison
Still gives me chills the first time Roy Orbison comes in. That voice...
Have you really not seen any of these videos you post? How old are you??😂
Hey, give him KUDOS for WANTING to learn about music!
This is going to sound pretty terrible, but if it wasnt for silly things like Guitar Hero, or Guardians of the Galaxy promoting old hits, a great deal of younger people will not even hear this great music or know of the legendary artists. There is so much good music out there, it seems a shame that younger people (who have the internet and RUclips) dont even know to look for it.
Steve Fletcher Although my parents played the “oldies” when I was a kid, and I knew a lot of the songs, it was Rock Band in 2010 that got me into The Beatles. In this video, I knew George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Bob Dylan, but I didn’t know the other two.
Theses are some of the greatest musicians you could ever get together on one group
Perfect combination of legendary voices. Great stuff!!
'Is it the Beat...' See other commentators for illumination, ha ha. So glad you post this for others who didn't live through the very best times ever.
I can't believe you don't know who the members of this super group were....not even by their voices? Where the h--l have been, dude?
If you really don't know who the members of this accidental supergroup are you have been living under a rock for too long. Each member is a rock icon each with a huge back collection of great music.
These musicians were all signed to different record labels. They could not legally record and release an album. The way around that was to release it but not use their real names. Each member used a different pseudo name. I think Roy Orbison was Wilbur Wilbury. But nowhere on the record or album cover was their real names.
The album was recorded and the first video was made. Roy Orbison then passed away. Another video was made without him.
Two other Traveling Wilbury albums were made with the remaining members.
We are so fortunate to have the recordings of these wonderful men.
Tom Petty , Roy Orbison, George Harrison (George Harrison from Beatles),
Jeff Lynne, Bob Dillon.
You mean Bob Dylan :)
The Traveling Wilbury's are the true definition of the term "supergroup." I've listed the names of the main members and listed some of their accomplishments. It may serve to jog your memory.
Bob Dylan - Knockin' on Heaven's Door, The Times They Are A Changin', Like a Rolling Stone
George Harrison - Founding member of the Beatles - My Sweet Lord, Something, Give Me Love, When We Was Fab, Here Comes The Sun
Roy Orbison - Oh! Pretty Woman, Only The Lonely, You Got It, Crying, In Dreams
Jeff Lynne - Founding member of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) who also wrote, arranged and produced very nearly all the band's music. - Mr. Blue Sky, Turn To Stone, Don't Bring Me Down, Livin' Thing, All Over The World, Evil Woman, Telephone Line, Rockaria!, Do Ya
Tom Petty - Freefallin', Learning To Fly, You Got Lucky, Refugee, I Won't Back Down, Mary Jane's Last Dance
These guys are Rock Royalty, to put it mildly.
I now know how young you are, Sweetie! The fact you didn't recognize one of the Beatles, Tom Petty, BOB DYLAN, Roy Orbison, or Jeff Lynne from ELO says a lot! But I think it is great you listened to them. I LOVE the song END OF THE LINE as well. Roy passed away before they were able to film a video to End of the Line but they made sure he was represented. Of that group of men; George, Roy, and Tom are now gone and only the two -- Jeff and Bob -- are still alive.
The video for their Song called The End Of The Line was dedicated to Roy Orbinson who passed away. His picture is seen in the rocking chair during the video.
They were friends who made beautiful music together. Try the Wilbury Twist.
Oh dear Ty. This is a supergroup - some of the top musicians of the time got together and formed a band. I don't need to name the members as people have already done so below.
Shocking. Shocking. If one cannot recognize George Harrison, let alone Bob Dylan, one has no business doing anything but listen...without comment. Shocking.
Nita B I have to agree! It's like watching a deaf person listen to music, or a blind man trying to watch TV. Painful.
@@agemoth Painful. You hit the nail on the head. Misery loves company, so thank you for your understanding!
The Travelling Wilbury’s were probably the most legendary lineup.
Bob Dylan even won the Nobel Prize for literature a few years ago.
The guitar that George Harrison is playing is a Traveling Wilburys promotional guitar. I still have my TW-300. It was made by Gretsch at a time when they were looking for capital to start full production again, around 1988. They're close cousins to the Danelectro Silvertone of the 1950's. I have a '59, and they do sound similar.
This was so awesome! Epic moment with epic artists. MRM you need to do "Roy Orbison - Crying." Try a live performance video. Thank you for all you continue to do and for making me smile. Been tough few months but I'm so pleased to see you still here and doing so well.
Group members & and where they came from : Jeff Lynne from Electric Light Orchestra-song:'Livin' Thing',Tom Petty & The Heart breakers-song:'Free fallin', Roy Orbison-song:'Pretty Woman', Bob Dylan-'Like a Rolling Stone' And of course... George Harrisonfrom The Beetles,song:'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'. ;)
The Traveling Wilburys formed spontaneously one day at Bob Dylan’s house in Malibu, California, where George Harrison had invited his pals Tom Petty and Roy Orbison to help him and producer Jeff Lynne record a B side for his just-released Cloud Nine. “Jeff and George roughed out the music in the afternoon, and Bob actually barbecued chicken for us,” Petty remembered. “While we ate, we all sat around throwing lines out, got the lyric done, sang it and cut the track. And that became ‘Handle With Care.’ George came up with the title from a road case.” They hadn’t recorded a B side, they’d cut a hit - and become a band.
Listen to Wilburys "end of the line" when you get a chance. Thanks!
Cracks me up, you were listening to legends and your reaction was like..."Ya, they were ok..." Gotta love you!!
I miss George after watching this.
TedLenn0n I miss Roy after watching this. The Traveling Wilburys introduced me to his music, and I have been listening to nothing but him for the past few months!
This is the ultimate in Supergroups. The CVs of each member is impeccable. What a brilliant idea to get together and make even mire wonderful music!!
and george harrison
The guy in the black sunglasses is Roy Orbison. Looks weird as hell but has the voice of an angel. Check out his song Cryin’.
Also, another great Traveling Wilburys tune is Tweeter and the Monkey Man.
As said many times every one of those guys was already a music legend by the mid-80’s when they did the TW thing. When you have the lead guitar player from the f-ing BEATLES in your band then you are legit.
Those guys ARE the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Songwriter (Harrison), The Poet (Dylan), The Rebel (Petty), The Voice Orbison), and The Genius (Lynne).
It was quite amazing to watch you watch this video with the camera going slowly from person to person as the song progresses and thinking "surely, you'll recognise..." and it just not happening. I thought I'd be upset but I actually enjoyed it a lot! 😂
"You Got It" is an excellent song. It was actually on Roy Orbison's album "Mystery Girl" (which by the way is an awesome song of his too) but, on "You Got It", this was written about it: “You Got It” was the lead single off Roy Orbison’s posthumous album Mystery Girl. Written and performed with The Traveling Wilburys partners Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, the song hit #9 in the US, his last Top 10 hit in the country, and #3 in the UK.
What a line up of superstars. George Harrison from the Beatles, the only only Roy Orbison, Tom Petty from Tom Petty and the heartbreakers and of course the amazing Bob Dylan 💕
Knowing who these guys all are and how they got together brings new meaning to this song - yes - old guys who got together - you were hearing familiar songs unable to put it together b/c they were all icons - separate groups and singers. No, not twins. They showed baby pictures of all of them.
You are hearing those echoes because you probably have heard all of those distinctive musical voices before.
History:The Traveling Wilburys was a supergroup composed of George Harrison from the Beatles,Jeff Lynne from the Electric Light Orchestra,Bob Dylan(solo act),Roy Orbison(solo act),and Tom Petty from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. They only did two albums together. Sadly Roy Orbison died right after this in 1988,George Harrison died in 2001,and Tom Petty died in 2017. Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne are still with us.
George Harrison from the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne from electric Light Orchestra. Legends All.
Tye - You reacted to "Indian Summer" not to long ago. Roy Orbison who sang the "I'm so tired of being lonely" bit sang on Indian Summer and hit some notes that made you scratch your head! On this album he had his own solo song called "Not Alone Anymore" which you should check out. It's really good.
Also recommended from Roy:
Crying (duet with KD Lang)
Walk On
The Crowd
You Got It
The Comedians
You'll really scratch your head with those ones.
They got together and wrote the songs in about a week .one of them was by picking up brochures,they play the fridge in one of them it’s produced by Jeff lyne ( ELO) go look up some more ( mainly because I can’t remember the titles!)
Any group that has George Harrison from the Beatles in it is fine by me. I miss George - he was always my favorite.
Just Me yeah, and I cried when he died.
"The Traveling Wilbury's" is a collaborative effort by a group of legendary musicians. Another such group is "The Highway Men", a group of country "outlaw" legends. Their most famous song is "The Highway Man".
The lead singer was George Harrison, former Beatle. This is one of the last songs he recorded. The others in this group were friends and supporters of George. Roy Orbison passed away, first. Next, was George Harrisn, who fought a great battle against cancer, which started in the throat and spread to the brain. Next to expire was, Tom Petty, the blond guy with the top hat. I think he ODed. He and his wife divorced and she was granted custody of their two daughters. His friend, George, dying was a tremendous loss to Petty. So, those who remain are Jeff Lynn, guitarist with sunglasses, Bob Dylan, whom we all respect and love...in addition to the drummer, whose name I don't know. R.I.P. Roy, George and Tom.
the tilt of your head when roy started singing classic
Ty! Those five people are ridiculously famous. The lead vocalist was a Beatle (George Harrison). Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne (ELO) are the other four.
Sadly most of these fine musicians have already passed away. They came together long after they each found fame from the 60's on. Tom Petty was the youngest and just recently passed away. He was from Gainsville Fl and met Elvis Presley when he was filming in Inglis Fl and wanted to be a rocker ever since. Yes, those were pictures of each of them in their youth.
It's sad that he didn't recognize any of the legends in this video.
Well I'm stunned. Yeah I guess it would trigger something to think you've heard it before, maybe just because these are some of the top music artists of all time with some of the most famous and recognizable voices ever recorded. George Harrison (GEORGE HARRISON!!) formed this group in 1988 after they had recorded a bonus track for his 1987 album, and the record company said it was too good to just be a single, so they should do a whole album. With a band consisting of Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison (!!!) Tom Petty, they couldn't exactly call themselves Dylan, Harrison, Orbison, etc., so they came up with the fictional family name of Wilbury.
I'd say there hasn't been this much talent in one room since that famous day in December of 1956 in Sun Record Studios in Memphis, when the so-called "Million Dollar Quartet" did an unplanned jam session that forever lives in rock and roll history!
Someone from the record company was in the studio and asked what the album title was. Harrison looked over at a crate and read Handle With Care, so that’s what he told the guy. They wrote the song that afternoon.
Best super group ever!!! I still listen to the Wilbury’s.
George Harrison Beatles : something, here comes the sun
Bob Dylan :
Blowing in the wind, like a rolling Stone, along the watchtower, Knocking on heaven's door
Tom Petty:
Don't come round here no more
Learning to fly, I won't back down,
Free falling
Roy Orbison:
Oh pretty woman, only the lonely,
It's over, crying
if you wold like to hear something that is very smoooooth. . . it's an instrumental, written back in the 60's. . called Green Onions (performed live at Daryl's house) .performed originally by Booker T and the MG's. . .this version features Book T on the organ, and Daryl Hall (of Hall and Oates) ....features an incredible keyboard, a great sax, and a Go-Pro camera mounted on the neck of a guitar. . .I promise you, .. .you WILL like this. Check it out! Green Onions, live at Daryl's House
I'm glad that he is open to looking into various music performers. I'm sure there are a lot that I am still unaware of. Still, I find it sad that he is watching/listening to 5 legends together as a super group, and he doesn't seem to recognize any of them.
If memory serves correctly, The Beatles actually were the opening act for Roy Orbison at one event. I know they toured together in the UK in 1963.
