Traveling Wilburys on Not Being So Serious, Technology, Why Dylan is "Lucky", Harrison, Petty, Lynne

In 1988 five legends spanning multiple decades and music genres came together to form a supergroup. They brought a sense of humor to music at a time when some musicians were taking themselves a bit too seriously. The band forbade technology in their recordings. They called themselves the 'Traveling Wilburys'.

The best music is having a good time with friends and I miss them all

[@adenihil]

I still love them! Incredible super-group!

[@LameWolff]

The Super Group of all Super Groups.

[@Knards]

Being relatively old, Roy was one of the greats of my youth. Then I turned 13 and the Beatles showed on my doorstep!

[@gogoyubari366]

Traveling Wilburys were a great band!

[@richardlynch5632]

Absolutely the power of the universe that brought together, through Mr. Harrison, the Traveling Wilburys.😎👍👍 History in the making and proof that the universe has great taste😉👍👍

[@madm0078]

Best Group of Accomplished Musicians who came together, at the right time and the right place. All phenomenal. What a great way for Roy to head into his next journey! Then George, and next Tom, which sets mortality as a reality for those of us who knew them when. I had End of the Line played at my husband's funeral, at the end! Of this life only and on to the next.

Five buddies hanging out for a few weeks creating a classic album out of scratch.

Looks good without glasses George always modest

The Traveling Wilburys were a Great Gift at the right Time , I Liked Roy or Lefty . He is a Lot of the Reason for the Group I guess , I mean They were all big fans of Roy , I Miss Them :) QC

[@candywarmuth6241]

The cream of the crop.

[@cliffbungalow9373]

George was a killer lead player not just rhythm guy

[@tonybrown3571]

Even the name of the band is a joke, a play on a phrase used in the studio when an artist or producer or engineer doesn’t want a cough or a burp or a dropped harmonica to ruin an otherwise good take: “We’ll bury it in the mix.”

[@MartinDawson-zh9kj]

Definately Bigger than The Beatles. I was happy for George, that he found equality With The Wilbury Gang. Totaly blessed with the line up Roy, Jeff, Bob, and Tom.a great pity they never played Live.

[@chumbels]

Petty...musta looked around and said ,well, im in a band with Dylan,Roy Orbinson and a Beatle. Wtf???

[@shirleykaye4344]

After watching so many Traveling Wilburys videos on KZbin, and finding out who some of these guys really were, when Tom Petty was found dead, I cried.

[@freewheelingideas]

That was such a sad loss.

[@davidellis5141]

Tom Petty was signed to Shelter Records ( Founded by Leon Russell ) & when the label folded much to his dismay the distributor MCA became the holder of his contract. He wanted to be a free agent & sign a new more lucrative contract.

[@johnminer1407]

First heard on the radio and thought WTF, who is this, loved it

Great video. It was a lot of fun to watch.

He moved there after he was born. I just listed their birth location.

[@steveconn]

Great little side project. Roy's last stand. Some of Bob and George's last good music.

[@robertbrigham1620]

Few people notice the inside joke in the bands name: a "Wilbury" is to music production/mixing as a "Mulligan" is to golf. A mistake, a goof.

[@kayakchrispy]

George Harrison was right Roy Orbison is cool

[@simontaylor2319]

I don't think our George would like to be thought of as a rhythm guitarist! - surely that was John's forte....Ed

I think Bob might be a little dismayed to hear that.

[@MrSonovox]

I I discussed an idea with Roger McGuinn that he should join the Wilburys and take on the role of George Harrison on the 12th string; Chris Isaak could do the Roy Orbison parts since he’s got the same kind of voice Bob Seger could do the Tom Petty vocals. The surviving members of the original set would be Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne.

[@BobSimpson-rq6kt]

@@RexxSchneiderit’s funny because Jeff Lynne is the ghost in the industry. The guy has a career that’s insane. They didn’t know Bob but knew Jeff.

[@jamesjennings-yd2bc]

Don't tell Bob Dylan that, he may just drop dead.

[@rgnyc]

Good music, but I have to ignore some dark history in order to enjoy it - e.g. the image of Petty punching a hole in a wall (and fracturing his wrist); Harrison verbally trashing most of Paul McCartney's later work; Dylan's frequent, casual cruelties to Phil Ochs. On the other hand, I've known folks who worked with Orbison and Dylan, and who had only good things to say about them as co-performers.

[@THE-HammerMan]

TO: @venerealdisease420... I guess you've never checked out Dylan's lyrics. Theres plenty of humor in your atrocious spelling though...
