Okayyy folks listen now lol I’ve listened to a ton of Tom Petty (I even reference it in a song of mine) but I’ll admit, I did not recognize him here 😂 there were a few I didn’t recognize

[@DrewG-wd8ql]

The chair was left vacant because Roy Orbison was there when the song was recorded but passed away before the video was made.. Sadly only two left, Jeff Lynne from ELO and Bob Dylan... RIP Roy, George and Tom.

[@paulhoogenboom5361]

You need to hold off any further reaction to TW until you get more familiar with each singer. Too soon!

[@scottbaron121]

And that's criminal. You kids...

[@MollieC-uc1fk]

The drummer should be the one you don't recognize, LOL, but yeah, do some Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Electric LIght Orchestra for Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison (passed away) and you'll get it. Of course you know of George and the Beatles. The drummer is Jim Keltner.

[@theresaruffle7504]

I didn’t know who the drummer was on this song. Thanks for the info 👍.

[@Sactown5472]

The rocking chair is for Roy Orbison . You overlooked Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynn! What a amazing group of guys.

[@MarkmanOTW]

And of course, top session drummer (mate of George's), Jim Keltner.

[@texadan314]

Almost hurts to watch that chair.

[@darkgael0]

Ah, the passing of time. Here is a guy who is a musician….active and working but he doesnt recognize Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Bob Lynne. He almost picked up on Roy Orbison and the ghost chair.

[@thefoss5387]

Harrison and Jeff Lynne (of ELO) sang the first two verses, and shared production credits. Tom Petty sang the bridges. Roy Orbison, who died before filming this video sang the middle verse. The rocking chair was a tribute to him. Bob Dylan sang harmonies. Jim Keltner, a famous session drummer, was also a member.

[@GinMae]

Yes! Give it up for Jim Keltner - I heard that he "declined" to be credited as a "Wilbury" but he was so integral to the group!

[@paulcochran1721]

Keltner was given the name "Buster Sidebury" since he didn't want to be an official Wilbury...

[@DougRayPhillips]

The Traveling Wilburys were at first just a collaboration to help George record a B-Side for his next Single. But then they decided, hey, this song (Handle With Care) is so good that we should release it on its own merits and become an actual group. So, they did. Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty. The drummer was not considered a part of the group. That was still the lineup when they recorded End of the Line. However, Orbison passed away before they could do this music vid for it. That's why you're seeing emphasis on the empty chair during the verse that he sings.

[@leadabo]

Well, the drummer was considered important to the group. James Keltner worked with Bob Dylan but he did lots of session work for really, really well known groups and individuals and session work Beatles solo projects such as George Harrison and John Lennon as well. Bob Dylan considered him to be “the leading session drummer in America”. FYI, he still is alive and active 👍🏼😊👍🏼

[@DougRayPhillips]

@@leadabo I agree. I'm just saying that almost no writeups about the group mention him, so apparently the choice was made to define him as something other than an official member.

[@thefoss5387]

The five singers gave themselves aliases with the surname "Wilbury", Keltner was credited as a "side man" , "Buster Sidebury."

[@rorybernard6071]

You are a musician. How do you not recognize these guys ?

[@SotonCueMan]

Because he’s thicker than a whale omelette……..

[@kennethsonia5350]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@steve9199]

George Harrison- Beatles. Jeff Lynne- ELO. Tom Petty. Roy Orbison. Bob Freakin' Dylan. The ultimate supergroup.

[@pammickle3935]

Thanks for focusing on the lyrics! And George being underrated! ❤

[@aaronherbison7316]

Yea super group consisting of Tom petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne (ELO) and Bob Dylan... Roy Orbison was originally a member but died before this video was recorded hence the empty chair with the guitar

[@columlennon]

I'm sorry but super group is a understatement

[@ravenzyblack]

Roy Orbison was still a part of the group though. He just passed away. You stop hear his voice.

[@aaronherbison7316]

​@@ravenzyblackthat's my point he was in the band but had passed away before the video (not the song) was recorded hence the empty chair. I was referring to the recording of the video. Hope that clarifies it 😊

[@kwchalky02]

Can't believe you hadn't heard of the Wilburys! Jeff Lynne is my musical hero, Roy Orbison... what a voice!, George, Bob, & Tom. Superb!

[@queenrosered]

Frank Sinatra said the Harrison penned and recorded song, SOMETHING" was, in his opinion, one of the most beautiful compositions ever and even sang it himself. George did come into his own eventually. Thanks again Brad!❤❤❤

[@scottchapin2323]

He first referred to it as the best Lennon & McCartney song, he didn't know George wrote it

[@browniewin4121]

I love the Wilburys, what's not to like, a super group of some of the best musicians of our time. It's so sad so many of them are no longer with us. RIP Roy, George, Tom.

[@marciaramirez3791]

The empty chair with the guitar represented Roy Orbison, he had been part of the Traveling Wilburys until he passed away. I think you noticed the picture of Roy on the table. Loved their albums, hope you react to some more of their music, it was all originals the guys came up with in their recording sessions.

[@musiclovingnurse2802]

Established in 1988. Wikipedia’s first line in a yahoo search says “Perhaps the biggest supergroup of all time, a roots combo formed by George…” I’d have to agree even without delving further into what “Wiki” thinks!!! I lived it and am so sad that 3 of the 5 are no longer with us to continue their epic music contributions!! But thankfully, they recorded it!!

[@spacefanatic]

This was a super group which consisted of George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. Another good one to listen to is 'Handle With Care'.

[@ecoffey71]

5 legendary artist one band

[@seanbarker4610]

The empty chair was for Roy Orbison, who passed away after the song was recorded!

[@vernonsanders9696]

I love your eyes when you recognize each singer.

[@richardfletcher8922]

Hit “ Handle Me With Care” for your next Traveling Wilbury’s reaction. It’s even better and Roy Orbison is fantastic!

[@garyarnett1220]

Wilburys: Harrison, Jeff Lynn (ELO), Roy Orbison (who passed), Tom Petty (in hat), and Bob Dylan.

[@franciscoguzman1034]

Roy Orbison was a member, He died before the video but did the recording of the music.

[@jennyburns787]

Play “ Handle with Care “ the great Roy Orbison too. The chair is for Roy who passed at this time.

[@Lightness555]

Love! Love! Love! me some George, but did you notice Bob Dylan! They were all great!!!! And I agree 100% with what you said..

[@blackhawksfan2525]

George Harrison, my favorite Beatle and hands down the most underrated. Lennon and McCartney wrote the vast majority of the songs, but you could argue that George wrote 3 of the top 5 Beatles songs (Here Comes the Sun, Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps).

[@mwmii790]

"End of the line" was poetic honor to Roy Orbison, who was the stellar voice in this video. This was a supergroup (as in superfood), each one a megastar on their own. Orbison was the empty rocking chair. He died before they could do the video. They didn't make a big deal about who they were. They just wanted to make music.

[@ericbrett3095]

The chair with a guitar was a tribute to Roy Orbison, who died before this video was shot. As of October 2023 the only members of The Traveling Wilbury's who are still with us is Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan and Jim Keltner. All the others are at the end of the line waiting for the rest of the band to show up.

[@owenpastrana23]

Yes! I mean yes! It was George and all the Wilburys!

[@celine4evauk]

Now this is what I call a Supergroup! Hope you do more from them - especially Handle With Care. George was my favourite Beatle. And I LOVE Roy Orbison. So sad he died so early into this group etc, but lovely they featured in this video the guitar and chair for him! That was him in the photo.

[@kathyg1660]

Hey if he does, at least he'll know who they all are (smh)

[@TheDirtdiver101]

the videos was recorded just after roy orbison passed the rocking chair was roy's fave from his home and the guitar was his as well.

[@dolorestoolis4690]

When you have a chance to react to these other singers, we should go back and watch the band again

[@mikefetterman6782]

Roy Orbison died between the recording of the songs and taping all the videos. The empty chair during his vocal lines represent this titan in the industry who toured in 1956 with Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis.

[@sherryheim5504]

Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan. This was a supergroup and they were fantastic.

[@marieball8441]

The guys in this group represented 30 years of rock'n'roll and coming together in the late 80s was monumental in reminding young people who they were and that they were still relevant. Roy Orbison with his beautiful clear tenor, Bob Dylan and his poetic stellar songwriting and George Harrison of the Beatles were huge names in music during the 60s. Jeff Lynne is the founder of ELO, really big in progressive pop/rock and a long time friend of George Harrison. Tom Petty was one of the predominant leaders of 80s rock. As you noticed, they still had a lot to say. This was Roy Orbison's last set of recordings before he died and you saw the empty rocking chair hold the guitar along with the photo of him on the nearby table. The Traveling Wilburys run was brief, but any single one of the member have extensive catalogs of their own that are worth spending time to investigate.

[@quansue1480]

The guitar was for Roy Orbison he was part of the band he passed away right before they made this video when they showed the guitar that was his solo of the song

[@KevinMyers0619]

Those little things are important to watch; big things take care of themselves.

[@dilandilanjoao4310]

Hi there. Besides George Harrison, There's Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison's voice (passed away in between) Jeff Lyne (ELO). Jim Keltner on Drums 👍

[@Frank-hw9kk]

The chair and guitar for Roy Orbison who passed away shortly before making this

[@aussieskitz]

Its like every feel good old school legends decided to make one band to rule them all 😂

[@changlyn100]

George, Tom Petty, Roy Orbinsom(who died before the video), Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan

[@topherwhite370]

Dude, recognize the greats. You missed it. Pound for pound, the greatest talents ever assembled.

[@MollieC-uc1fk]

They all had Wilbury names as well which was cool, so yeah, this great group was put together for fun, a history video is out there about how they came to be. And then they started dying off...so yeah, here we go. Jeff Lynne is still performing with ELO and Bob Dylan is as well in whatever he does.

[@sarahthompson2636]

The song also wasnt written by george..its a bob dylan number (lyrics at least). Yes, the empty chair is Roys. He passed between recording his vocals and the record being produced.

[@stormhawk3319]

What a supergroup. Tom Petty! Jeff Lynne! Roy Orbison! DYLAN! And a BEATLE!

[@lhpl]

Two Beatles, actually. Jeff Lynne is one of a group of people who deservedly have been called "the fifth Beatle".

[@artmanjohn2]

Brad, Honestly, you really need to get out more!

[@scottchapin2323]

One of the best super groups

[@user-gq7en2xk9u]

I feel like noone really understands how good george harrison was. People refer to him as one of the beatles which is true, but, he could have made his own band and would shine just as bright. His voice is so damn good

[@love4joj881]

You are so right! Love George, he was great!

[@sherryheim5504]

All-Star Band: Tom Petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan. These guys were great. I wore out my cassette tapes of this band I played them so much. Roy Orbison was singing and playing guitar on the recording of this song but passed away before the video was made. The rocking chair has Roy's guitar in it and it is rocking to the beat of the song, as a nod to their fellow band mate, lest he not be forgotten. I read that on the recordings, Jeff Lynne played the drums as well as guitar. Thank you for your reaction.

[@56nitehawk]

The best of the Best, lots of talent.

[@flippinpages6550]

Ok so you have stuff to learn. Bob Dylan my first ever album back in the 1960's. I have this CD and love this band. Your style does sound a little like them.Folk, country Rock. These guys can do it all. Have fun.

[@fcnelson978]

the best SUPER BAND EEEEVVVVVVEEEERRRRR

[@woody9x656]

Props on recognizing George but a bit disappointed you didn't notice at least Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. I thought I saw recognition on your face when Roy Orbison's part came on but you didn't quite make the connection. It's ok, you're just a baby and they are all before your time ;)

[@chuck4tnvols681]

Jeff Lynne of ELO also,Icon!

[@thesweetone8968]

Loved your reaction to this song. I agree with every word you said about George Harrison. He did write this song. Good ear. These guys knew how to make great music.❤❤

[@richb313]

There are several videos explaining how this group was formed.

[@davependragon1]

The Chair is Roy Orbison.

[@sylvialang6606]

LOL great reaction to theis supergroup. You got George, but missed Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne and in memory but his voice, Roy Orbison. You should listne to Handle With Care. Enjoy

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Great message. It definitely holds up, oh wait, this wasn't one of those reactions.😜 It certainly was a better time as far as the song messages.

[@jeffe5862]

This was a super group!!

[@rcinsley]

This was the first "super group!"

[@MyMaria43]

yes a Beatles message

[@beadybaby]

Three chairs now

[@RJ-oy7cq]

Well Brad at least you got George Harrison but missed the other 4...thought you'd at least know Tom Petty and Bob Dylan.

[@dolorestoolis4690]

I do agree though this band has a Beatles vibe

[@jeraldkimball494]

So sad that since this song was first recorded we lost Roy Orbison, George Harrison and Tom Petty. A whole lot of talent gone. RIP guys.

[@TheDarkhorse1947]

How can a so called singer not spot Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne. With vocals and picture of The Big O. Not to forget the great Jim Keltner on percussion

[@dayzey40]

This was a super group...George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne (ELO), Roy Orbison (in the empty seat), Tom Petty...not sure who the drummer was. George Harrison RIP, Tom Petty RIP, Roy Orbison RIP...They left a great legacy in their music.

[@michaellockhart554]

Drummer was none other than Buster Sidebury, aka Jim Keltner, I'd be willing to bet you've heard Jim more than the other artists in this group combined

[@BarTGila]

The empty chair is for Roy Orbison who was part of this group of super stars originally. Tom Petty, Roy, George are all gone now. Bob Dylan is thankfully still with us.

[@love4joj881]

George! George Harrison! I love him! You're right, sadly he doesn't get enough credit! He was a talented musician.

[@sandrotavini8838]

the empty chair was roy orbisson ..... he died just at the end of recording of this record........at the beggining Harrison want to record a b side for his single for his last album produced by Jeff Lynne ..... he asked to tom petty to play on his song but Petty was on Bob Dylan house ......the vibe was so good and they decided to do a full album .....using the name of Travelling wilbulry's .........the album was a success ....... they record a second album " vol 3 " ..... sorry for my bad english .... i recommanded to you to listen the full album

[@richtensail]

yeah ur rite, roy was in v band, layed dwn v vocal track but sadly died n b4 v vid was shot. jeff lynne frm elo.

[@taraskalanimahoe5272]

Tom Petty , Roy Orbison, George Harrison and Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne

[@cheryla7480]

Well you pegged George Harrison, but you missed…..2nd vocal Tom Petty, 3rd vocal Jeff Lynne, 4th vocal Bob Dylan and 5th vocal Roy Orbison ( rocking chair ). Roy passed away before they filmed the video. Everyone of them a legend!

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

When you, (if you) ever think of Monty Python, think of George Harrison too. :D Mr. Harrison created Hand Made Films and helped produce a Monty Python comedy movie called "The Life of Brian".

[@maryscales5747]

Sadly 3 have passed away. Went to the end of the line !

[@stueyboyrob5447]

Lessssgo Bro x

[@dolorestoolis4690]

how old are you? there's so many big stars of singers on this band 😅

[@TheDopekitty]

George is my favorite Beatle

[@love4joj881]

Same here!

[@johngraham3288]

Do you not even notice that along with George, there is also Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynn, and Roy Oborson.

[@JohnWesleyDowney]

I have one word for you. "Research."

[@scotttrainer9704]

Maybe it's something ELO would have done, after all they pretty much took over for the Beatles. And ELO is represented in this group.

[@ShelleySwisher-ve3lm]

Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan???

[@brandongallegos1206]

All those superstars and you only recognized Mr. Harrison. Tom Petty Roy Orbison Jeff Lynne Bob Dylan

[@stevesullivan8705]

The story goes that Tom Petty asked Roy Orbison for his autograph every day.

[@seangraham57]

Hey Brad you have a great voice,any recordings? from U.K. am a big Queen fan,. Queen song 'It's Late',have a listen.

[@davidshattock9522]

Jeff lynn being here is a footnote a scriptwriter couldnt come up with like roy seemingly forgotten being brought back to attention of people only to go out on a high partly thanks to meeting jeff lynn numero uno orbison fan from the beginning cruel twist to things really.

[@jacqueline1099]

It’s a shame us humans don’t know these “wisdoms”.. until we are old& gray

[@marianclough8577]

I kept waiting for you to recognize the members of this 'supergroup'. Roy had passed by the time the video was made. And didn't you recognize Bob Dylan and Tom Petty?

[@R.G.D-2095]

sound by jeff lynne... the touch magig of jeff lynne is great in all songs

[@Dallass66]

i can recognise Roy Orbisons voice anywhere

[@56nitehawk]

Roy Orbison passed away, he was part of the original band.

[@mykicks]

You comment before you know anything about the song, or who's playing........Patience...........You don't even recognize all the other HOF legends playing in this band right in front of your face.

[@scottbaron121]

Just imagine for a SECOND: IF they actually toured...HOW MUCH those tickets would sell for!? LMFAO!

[@christinebarnes9102]

The empty chair is there because Roy Orbisonhad died before the son was released.

[@Rick-or2kq]

If your old and grey, you especially have something to say.

[@Frostsabre07]

Good reaction, but not recognizing Tom Petty and Bob Dylan? Jeff Lynne is also easily recognizable and the haunting voice of Roy Orbison is unique and easily identifiable, if you know them from before. In a way nice that you recognized Orbison as a "ghost" that could not be there. It was the definition of a super group, but without the egos. Each of them a legend on their own. And I do agree that George, my favourite Beatle, never got enough recognition. In fact Paul and John were bullying him, it seemed, in the restored "Get Back" documentary, talking about his songs as another Harrisong. If you want another good song, then see the anniversery video of George Harrisons "My sweet lord" or the acoustic "While my guitar gently weeps" version from the Love album with Cirque du Soleil dancers. That one gave me shivers the first time I heard it and you are even given an extra verse to the song.

[@dolorestoolis4690]

is your opening song your original?

[@bostonwhofan]

It would have been like you seeing Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton hanging together and the only one you recognized is Obama. It probably doesn't get any more legendary than the legends in The Traveling Wilbury's. You should react to the Wilbury's performing "The Wilbury Twist"! In addition to the legends in the band, Eric Idle from Monty Python and John Candy star in the official video.

[@heyrobwest3908]

Band was acting from 1989 to 91. George Harrison Tom Petty Roy Orbison Bob Dylan. And you couldn't recognize Tom Petty Roy Orbison Bob Dylan had to give a dislike.

[@martyjansing2675]

So, you didn't know that George was in this group. Here's another group you don't know he was in. I bet you don't know the group either. It would be Delaney& Bonnie with all their Friends. Eric Clapton was one along with Dave Mason...( who???) and a couple of dozen others just as notable. Would Jimi be notable????

[@marydunn842]

Roy Orbison was in the group then he died before the did this. Did you miss Tom Petty?

[@Denisedale-pm1mm]

Roy died before they filmed the video

[@Terri6868]

Suggest Shinedowns A Symptom of Being Human the video. 🔥🔥

[@shspurs1342]

So you make country music.
