Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynn, Tom Petty, Roy Orbson and then throw in a Beatle. How could they go wrong!

[@Orbitalmercury]

RIP Roy, Tom and George.

[@whawkins88]

The empty rocking chair was a tribute to the late, great Roy Orbison who died whilst making this track. His voice was dubbed in after his death. What a superb gesture.

[@vincenthewlett4329]

This video was made after Roy passed away hence the empty rockin chair...check out " Your not alone anymore " Roy's vocal is stunning

[@vincenthewlett4329]

Or Bob Dylan's vocal on congratulations stunning lyric's........another good one is Heading for the light ..which is george on vocal......and Jeff lynnes vocal on Rattled.......the whole album is brilliant

[@1951woodygeo]

Greatest singer of all time his voice could not be matched

[@rayjennings3637]

And the photograph!

[@TheAussief1]

A prefect swan song for Roy.

[@gjcloninger3414]

The rocking chair wasn't empty.

[@dade-kz9bn]

Another great song of them is 'Handle With Care', check it out, you won't regret

[@tedcole9936]

I second that ! These are my 2 favorite Wilbury songs, both popular hits for all the right reasons!! Great suggestion.

[@plunky58]

Also, Roy Orbison is in the video for Handle With Care.

[@alistairmcdougall8390]

Totally agree 100%

[@gotrhythm1]

My 3 and 4 year old grandsons can name, and identify all of the Traveling Wilburies, as well as the Eagles! I'm one proud Papa!

[@Mycroftsbrother]

Yep, three of The Wilburys have now reached the end of the line. RIP.

[@dwightblubaugh601]

All smokers, and all from smoking-related causes. My question is, do Dylan and Lynne still smoke?

[@craigmorris4083]

Seeing Roy's guitar in the chair....gets me every time. :')

[@matthewkirkhart2401]

Every time I see that rocking chair and Roy's guitar, it brings a tear to my eyes. What a lovely tribute to him they did in this video.

[@AlbertaGeek]

Yeah, that hits hard.

[@robertclarke8456]

Roy Orbison the greatest singer on the planet.Sadly gone but never forgotten. To see Roy live was a experience never to be forgotten just magic. RIP ROY.😎😎😎😎

[@paulwagner688]

Roy Orbison (50s). George Harrison (60s). Bob Dylan (60s). Jeff Lynne (70s). Tom Petty (80s). Wilburys (90s). Almost FIVE DECADES of the history of Rock and Roll.

[@darbymgrraw]

Jeff, Roy, Tom, George, Bob... legends

[@natmanprime4295]

When Roy's vocal came in...😢. I didn't even know he had died and it still got to me . His voice was another level

[@mikebeagley]

His guitar in the rocking chair was a lovely touch!

[@kevindobson3701]

My fav Travelling Wilburys song is Handle with Care

[@cheflonewolf]

What I love about this video, is the chair with Roy Orbisons guitar. It's a beautiful homage to a lost talent

[@Jamie_E_Pritchard]

The rocking chair is a beautiful moment and a lovely tribute.

[@stephenhanft1226]

The Traveling Wilburys are my favorite formed supergroup. They consisted of Jeff Lynne (who was the lead singer of ELO), Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty (lead singer of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), and George Harrison (The Beatles). All of them had so much admiration and respect for each other and wound up singing and recording terrific music together. We got to hear Roy Orbison's great vocals one more time before he sadly passed away.

[@edwardallen4051]

+ the equally legendary Jim Keltner on drums

[@jeffburnham6611]

@@edwardallen4051 I was going to add that everyone always forgets the drummer. Thank-you for reminding us.

[@itsonlysound]

I don't think theres any other group that is bigger, in terms of the names involved. It's insane to think about given the stature of each member.

[@stevengonzales6597]

...and don't forget Ringo Starr on drums.

[@marcuspfister2047]

I agree to your mom saying there were a handfull famous artists ( not to forget the brilliant Jim Keltner on drums ) just having fun traveling and making music together. And it looks like that they put buisness aside for just having fun. They have written the 10 songs in 10 days. Not possible without massive talent AND fun.

[@scottmorschhauser4421]

You guys will really love The Traveling Willburys “Handle With Care”

[@mikaelzerbib]

You ARE THE ONLY REACT VIDEO that did not pause after the missing soul....LOTS OF LOVE!!!!!!

[@robertmcnaught8875]

Great British and American talent coming together 🎸

[@zigman63]

Its always been a favourite of mine .

[@VIDSTORAGE]

It was cool that these guys of high end fame came together for a short spell and made some really good simple style songs ..

[@Blue-qr7qe]

I love the line in this: "The best you can do is forgive" That one needs to be taken to heart. Thanks for playing and reacting to this one - Peace

[@mojobag01]

If I was assembling the greatest rock supergroup I'd get Jim Keltner on drums too. 😃

[@Fuerwahrhalunke]

First time I heard the song was a few years back, when I didn't care much for 60s-80s music. So the first time I heard the traveling wilburys I didn't give it much of thought. Fast forward a few years: My father passed away and I inherited his vinyl collection. It instantly got me hooked. on especially 80s music. Slowly but surely I lurked into the 80s and finally the 60s. I found the traveling Wilburys a few months back again and my jaw just dropped. It took me years of learning about, recognizing and appreciating music from those decades to fully understand what had formed then, when this band hit the stores and radios. Such an awesome band with some of the biggest talents of the time.

[@39thala]

The only ones left of this group are Jeff Lynn, Bob Dillon and the drummer, Jim Keltner. Also, you may notice that when you hear Roy Orbison singing his part, you only see a rocking chair with his guitar on it and the photo of him. That's because Roy had passed away by the time they got around to shooting this video even though he did sing on the record.

[@cliffwheeler7357]

Bob DILLON?? That's the only time since 1963 I have seen Bob DYLAN'S name spelled incorrectly.

[@robertlisternicholls]

So many great musicians. Tom's voice sends shivers down my spine.

[@ericbrett3095]

What we have here is 5 really talented superstars together, all talent, no ego. One of the awesome things about this group is that a co worker of mine commented that Roy Orbison went out on top. He, George, and Tom are truly missed.

[@ericbrett3095]

By the way, Roy Orbison wrote this song.

[@Meine.Postma]

Two smart cute ladies listening to music. The best. What is really sad is that only Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan are still alive (just)

[@Brian-om2hh]

The guy who opened the vocals at the beginning of the track was George Harrison. He used to be in a little known band called the Beatles...... Bob Dylan hunched up in the corner, gets me..... A brilliant performance. But then what else would you expect from a band made up of such musical icons......Oh, and not forgetting Jeff Lynne of ELO. What more can you say? The rocking chair with the guitar in it was a touching tribute to Roy Orbison a.k.a. the Big O.

[@debbiechang5781]

From that very first note, George Harrison’s unique and very recognizable guitar work jumps right out! That eerie shot of the playerless guitar in the rocking chair just puts this right over the top. The iconic voices and playing styles just blend to make absolute magic!! I love this. 🌺✌️

[@rmw250]

Great song.

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

The deaths of Roy Orbison & specially Tom Petty, really hit me hard, I had followed Tom Petty from the very beginning he came on the scene, it feels a part of me went with him.😞

[@rayvanhorn1534]

Terrific song from a great group of talented musicians. I mean we have ELO, a Beetle, a vagabond poet, Roy & Tom. Sad when Roy passed, his voice was phenomenal

[@darktake1234]

Love your reactions............

[@Dave-yq8rb]

Brilliant, love it. Although all famous it's great to be in a country pub on a Saturday night and a bunch of musicians turn up and starting playing like this, brilliant and it puts smiles on people's faces. Keep ip the good work ladies x

[@edwardcfinklein198]

Love the empty rocking chair with a guitar on it in respect to Roy Orbison.

[@cnatview]

This song is the first song on my playlist when I go for my walk each morning. Kind of sets my mind for the day. Thanks ladies for your reactions. Take care and be well. Peace.

[@GBeret83]

Jeff Lynne of ELO and Bob Dylan are the only two left living of the group. Roy Orbison, George Harrison, & Tom Petty sadly all no longer with us.

[@donaldsmith283]

I've never heard of this song before. I really like it a lot. As always you ladies are awesome. Thank you

[@frankofva8803]

This comes from an absolutely excellent album. You should give it a listen sometime. Thinking of the late Tom Petty still puts a lump in my throat. Can't believe he's gone.

[@Fritzw75]

Yes miss Tom, Miss George too and Roy. I was lucky enough to see Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers at the Cow Palace South San Francisco in 1982. Incredible concert.

[@kthor]

Saw Tom with The Heartbreakers in Sturgis....& Stevie Nicks was their special guest!!🎼What a great concert!

[@warrennicholsony.fernando4513]

George Harrison, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison. They're probably rocking the heavens right now.

You can thank George Harrison for getting rock's last supergroup together. They weren't together long. Roy died before the video was made. Check out these other Wilbury songs: Handle with care. The Wilbury Twist. Inside out. Last night

[@genewilkerson8528]

Tom Petty said Roy's funeral was just the day before this video was made. Tom also said that Roy was the only one that he would let call him Tommy.

[@Umptyscope]

How have I loved this song for so many years, and not known the line is "every day is Judgement Day?" I thought it was "Every day is just one day." Seemed more positive.

[@billysequins]

Took me years to notice that too

[@joecrone9862]

Excellent reaction again ladies.

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

Not a single country musician among 'em--And they still made some of the most down home bluegrassy -southern style sound Ive ever heard. Shows what suoerstars can do when they all put aside ego to get supreme results--The ultimate meaning of teamwork and freindship.

So true!!

[@visaman]

Bob did have his Western phase. Lay Lady Lay.

[@LetItBeSummer-1]

Don’t worry if you can’t find a good break. You can always rewind a little bit - that’s what a lot of reactors do. 😊

[@bradlymiller4936]

There’s a documentary floating around on KZbin. Called a true history of the traveling Wilburys. Very interesting it’s in several parts. You really get a feeling for the friendship and love all these guys had for each other. It really goes into how they got together and created some of the songs. Some of the songs were actually made right on the spot. Tom Petty actually joked how was he supposed to follow Roy Orbison and some of the songs.

[@bwilliams463]

Dad used to call these guys the 'All-Star Guitar Orchestra.' I've always thought this would make a great end title song for a movie where our heroes have triumphed and they drive off into a new day.

[@TomGorham]

Star power!

[@mikeburgan7675]

Heard it late in my life too Mom. Fantastic melody and lyrics. Listen to it often when I need a lift in spirit! Love your videos!!!

Thank you Mike!

[@steveh7108]

They did two albums/cds and there's not a bad song on either of them. Well worth anybody's time to give it a listen.

Thanks, Ladies! Yep - this was the ultimate "super group" - hope you react to more....

[@kirkgannaway5098]

Old friends, Roy toured England with the Beatle just as they were becoming famous in 1963 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers had toured with Bob Dylan in 1986 Jeff Lynne produced George Harrison's Cloud 9 album and had co-written songs with Harrison

[@Isleofskye]

Great Reaction to their second-best song but nothing beats, Roy singing with The Boys in "Handle With Care"...

Such a great song! Love this one and also "Handle with Care"

Thank you for your kind reaction. I feel the same way. I would love to be on that train. This song was warm, affirming and full of joy. That is why I believe most people enjoy it. The message is direct. Be kind, be helpful. Show your love to those around you.

[@deoppressoli-bear2600]

The empty rocking chair was Roy Orbison… who died before the song was released.

[@stevebird7265]

It always gives me a lump in my throat when I see the then recently deceased Roy Orbison's guitar on the rocker. All of them superstars together and not an ego amongs them.

Another classic xoxo

[@standingstonezseanroberts292]

A TRUE SUPER GROUP!

[@ianlove1215]

1 of things you should know Jeff Lynne (guitar with dark glasses) has written & arranged songs for so many, the only Beatle he didn't work with was John. Check him out on Wiki

[@PeterBuwen]

I really like your reactions.

[@leonardcharley5917]

Once again new subscriber. You guys are my new favorite. Anyone who doesn’t get emotional when they see Roy Orbison’s tribute is dead inside 😂😂. Great reaction

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction ladies! You're witnessing the Supergroup of ALL supergroups!! First, you've got the Big-O, Roy Orbison (who by the time of filming this video had passed, hence the empty rocking chair & guitar), Free-Wheelin' Bob Dylan, an Ex-Beatle George Harrison, THE Heartbreaker, Tom Petty, and Mr. ELO, Jeff Lynne. What an assembly of talent! No egos, just good rock n' roll! (RIP to 3 out of 5 - Roy, George & Tom) The whole album, Volume 1, each song is excellent, with each member having their time to shine. Roy's song "Not Alone Any More" is ethereal. Bob's song "Tweeter & The Monkey Man" is great. Tom has "Last Night" - a fun romp, George has "Handle With Care" - the first hit off the album, and Jeff has "Rattled". That's to start with!

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

Fantastic reaction! Absolutely love this song! George Harrison was my favorite Beatle, so I loved seeing him in The Traveling Wilbury's, along with all the other super stars. Handle with Care is another favorite song by them, and shows all of them standing around a mic singing. Hope you get a chance to react to that one, too. Thanks for another great reaction!

[@frankaq3951]

You guys are great! And I love that you don't keep interrupting the song.

[@Squeekyleaks]

I think you'd really like "Handle With Care" Roy was still alive, and you'll see him.

That empty rocking chair is for Roy Orbison who died in 1988.

[@tonybennett4159]

The whole album is joyous and upbeat. Every song makes you feel good, something we could all do with right now.

[@philipdickey6460]

If you liked that song, a song called My Back Pages from the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary concert, a song written by Dylan, and performed by Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, and George Harrison

[@1951woodygeo]

You need to get the Album you will love it all great songs . End of the line was the last Song Roy sang on before he died in 1989 the Rest of the band said we have to finish this song in memory of Roy .

[@geoffmower8729]

The guitar on the moving rocking chair is to represent Roy Orbison who died before they got to record this song. Another song they did featuring Roy in the chorus was Handle with care another really great song.

[@billysequins]

He died before they recorded the video,not the song

[@neckapb]

(Mikhail Biryukov here) Bob Dylan was not given a verse to sing in this one, alas!.. In this case I would suggest you to react to "Everything Is Broken" song of his, because I think it is a smash in terms of music - and of his poetry of course. And it is a driving rock number, too ))

[@tetsuoishiki4677]

No egos there!

[@Eric_L_Laney]

Great song! I remember seeing this video years ago. It was great to see that’ll they made a place in the video for Roy Orbison. This song has a very similar feel to it as a song George Harrison made himself around that time titled, Got My Mind Set on You. It has a great music video with some funny parts involving animals.

[@scotttrainer9704]

I never verified it, but I heard Bob Dylan became a member by accident. Supposedly George Harrison called Bob and asked him for a ride to one of their first practice sessions, he ended up staying and becoming a member.

[@andypace2233]

I really love your videos. You are both fantastic and have a deep love of the music. Roy Orbison was a real legend and he will be greatly missed.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Minor tidbit. George's Harrison's intro [ and ending] riff sounds as if it sprung out of the Beatles song I'm Looking Through You, as the opening chord riff sounds much like it until he goes up the scale. He either purposely used that, or subconsciously did.

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

You girls have gr8 taste 👍 Handle With Care was a big hit. I love Heading For The Light..great song! ..& for something excellent & different, try Tweeter & The Monkey Man 😎 ✌️❤️🇦🇺

[@technomikelyons]

I think the idea of the picture of Orbison was a nice way to include him in the video posthumously. It reminds me of an excellent documentary about the Funk Brothers, the musicians behind most of the great classic Motown hits, and when the film was made, a few of the musicians were already gone. They have a big concert showcasing the group, and in cases where a member was deceased, they included a big portrait of them on the stage. The movie is called "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown", and I highly recommend it for anyone who's a fan of the Motown sound. So, the empty chair with Roy's guitar and picture is a nice tribute and way to show that he was still part of the group.

[@juliannetomlinson]

Sad we have lost Roy,Tom and George. What talent.

[@Zentrix-24]

So sad George and Tom are gone no as well. Guess they were At The End Of The Line. True pioneer rockers....

[@terryweir8352]

Hi Lovely Ladies, This is an amazing song, it was released in 1988, the same year that the legendary Roy Orbison passed away, he passed away before the video was shot, that's why you see the rocking chair rocking with Roy's guitar on it, they also had a photo of Roy beside the chair!! 😀 😀 Check out Handle With Care and She's My Baby next by The Wilburys, amazing songs!! 😀 😀 The other Wilburys are : George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynn from ELO!! 😀 😀

[@rickcosman9670]

You know this song ended up being Roy’s song because he himself reached “The End of the Line” between the time he recorded his part of the song and when the video was filmed..

[@davidburton9136]

The guys idolized Roy Orbison. Sadly, George and Tom have since passed too.
