The group started as a jam session...but when musicians of this capability are involved, interesting things happen. They quickly put this song together and then had no name for it. One of them (Harrison, I think) looked at a shipping crate in the warehouse where they were set up, and the crate was stenciled "HANDLE WITH CARE"--problem solved!
The way they got started was they were all over at George Harrison house someone jokingly said lets form a band I think it was Bob who said ya we should so they wrote & recorded 2 songs in 24 HR span! They did not use there real names though but I don't remember what there aliases were! though
It was recorded at Bob Dylans studio and there was a box labeled HANDLE WITH CARE. This was originally recorded as the B-Side for George Harrisons (then) latest single but the studio thought it was too good for a B-Side and wanted it released on it's own.
The story is... George was about to release a single. The record company wanted a side "B". George approached his producer, Jeff Lynne and said, I need a side "B" song. Jeff was having a lunch date with Roy and invited George to the lunch. George at the lunch explained he needed a side "B" on his single. With one day to prepare, they contacted Bob Dylan who lived nearby and had a recording studio in his garage. Roy tagged along to watch. George had to head over to Tom Petty's house to get his guitar. Tom join them in the trip to Dylan's house. There they were attempting to come up with something for the side "B". Bob asked what the name of the song was, George had no idea, but a box in the garage had a sticker that read, "Handle with Care". That is what George replied with, the group came up with the lyrics, and George took it to the record company. They said, "This was too good for a side "B". So they went back to Bob's house and decided to make a new group called "The Travelling Wilbury's" and recorded most of the rest of the first record. The final recordings were moved to George's house in England. They only had about a week to finish it as Bob was scheduled to go on a tour. So they wrote and recorded one song each day until the album was completed. The result was "The Traveling Wilbury's Part 1". After the recording of the album, and before the release of the second video, Roy died, which is why on the second video, there was a rocking chair with Roy's guitar whenever Roy had a solo on the song. RIP Roy, George, and Tom. The greatest supergroup will be again some day soon.
This is one Super group - 5 legends together - uniquely once only 1988-91. Composed of George Harrison of the Beatles, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, ELO's Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan! If this is not OMG stuff - you tell me what is, man! Way to Go !
A city guy asked a farmer why his cow didn't have any horns. The farmer replied that some breeds simply don't have horns also that if a cow got mean they would trim off the horns to keep from getting hurt. 'However', he said, ' the reason this particular cow doesn't have horns is that it is a horse.' ...........I'll show myself out now.......
Yep true, Bob Dylan and his harp! The sheer talent in this one song is mind blowing. I remember when this came out, it was huge and I made sure to get all the albums. 😎 Unfortunately Roy Orbison passed in the midst of their work... the video for their song End of the Line is both heartbreaking and filled with hope. You are on FIRE man! I love that you're not covering the same songs all the other reactors are jumping on. THANK YOU! 🤟🏻
Do “End of the Line” by the Travelin’ Wilburys. While they were recording, Roy Orbison died suddenly. In the video, they play his recorded voice and guitar, and the camera goes to an empty rocking chair with Orbison’s guitar on it!!
Roy died shortly AFTER the album’s full recording and release. He got to see its success and climbing of the charts before he passed. End If The Line was the second single released. And yes, since he was no longer around to appear in the song’s video, his photo was used as a tribute.
If no one has said this Jim Keltner on drums was probably the best session drummer in America at the time. He didn't think he was good enough to be a Wilbury so they named him Sidebury.
I LOVE THEM!!! My favorite of theirs is End of the Line. Bob was known for the harmonica. Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison both also played the harmonica. Thanks for doing this one!
Love these guys. I haven't heard them in years. Thank you for jogging my memory. I think that you need to find a picture of a wilbury and move it around the map since it is traveling. 🤣
Love these guys, just hate we've lost so many of them over the years. Such incredible lost talent. But we've got their videos, so future generations can enjoy them! ❤
The pin should go into Malibu, California due to they were jammin' at Bob Dylan's studio the Shangri La , when George Harrison asked the group of friends to help him write a B-side to an album he was recording at the time. Info gathered from www.travelingwilburys.com/history and googled the address for studio which is now owned by Rick Rubin.
There is an interesting story about how this song came about. Long story, shortened version: George Harrison needed a "B" side for a single that was going to be released from his album (this was in the late 1980s). Jeff Lynne was working with Harrison as producer. They met for dinner and Roy Orbison was invited along. They were discussing using Dylan's recording studio and Orbison asked if he could watch. He thought it would be interesting. Harrison suggested that Roy assist with backing vocals if he was going to watch. Orbison said "Sure; I'll need to run by Tom [Petty's] and get my guitar." They told Petty what they were doing and he insisted on tagging along. Discussing the fact that they didn't even HAVE a song to record yet, there was a box in the garage at Dylan's home that said "Handle with Care." Tom Petty suggested that would be a great name for a song. I'm sure all five of them had a hand in wring they lyrics and the music, as they were all accomplished songwriters (some of the best in Rock and Roll, in fact); but this song clearly has Tom Petty's signature all over it. They style is very much consistent with Tom Petty's writing. The song was recorded and sent to Harrison's record company for the "B" track, but the record company rejected it. They said it was "too good" to be lost to history as a B track on a single and they wanted more like it. So, they quickly put together some other songs and released the album When the album was released there was nothing on the album that said who the artists were, but everybody knew. Between the stylized photo on the album cover and the distinctive voices of the artists, it was clear who made the record. "Handle With Care" was the first single released by the Wilburys, and it was a hit. It made quite a splash, but it didn't sound much like a lot of the other stuff on the charts at the time. All of us "old-timers" loved it, but it was ignored by the "under-20" crowd, for the most part.
On december 4th 1956 four guys had alittle in promptu recording session the 4 guys was Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lewis and Carl Perkins and the album was called the million dollar quartet, but since the didn´t perfom as a group i don't know i the can be considered a supergroup, otherwise i think they must be the OG supergroup.
Personaly i have loved all of these individuals in turn i am a 72 year old vietnam veteran us army so i have seen a bunch and i play 12 string guitar and blues harmonica thanks from this old guy for all you do
Thanks, "Jase" for this -- please do more Traveling W's - the commenta below describe how they came about - what I loved was that they did so many songs that "featured" each one - this one was obviously George - who actually is responsible for putting them all together - as you listen to each song, you will quickly realize who is the "feature" -- look forward to more from you -
You can imagine the producers and tech guys and those who put together this sort of thing were glad to work with this group. Every one of them a top notch professional, past his wild youth and knowing in their bones how things are done. Actually when they first formed up this group they intentionally hid who was in it. I dunno, trying to see if they could make a hit of it without their reputations preceding them I think. It didn't make a hit on the new music teeny bopper music lists but the old rockers jumped on that wagon quick.
Oh God I loved these guys. Incredible talented musicians and song writers. If you like this one give End of the Line (its Alright) a listen. Was my favorite this group made though I think it was written and recorded after Orbison's Death.
How about this for a coincidence. Right before I saw your reaction, I was playing Trivial Pursuit with my husband. The question that won me the game was, who was the oldest member of the Traveling Wilburys. I was able to name all the members as well as tell him which one was the oldest. I loved them when they first came on the scene as a group, and still listen to them today.
Did you just sit there and not recognize any of them? You should at least watch some of the legendary Roy Orbison videos. Watch, You Got It, by Orbison, he died 17 days after he performed in that video of a heart attack, he was 52.
Pretty much the Mt. Rushmore of Classic Rock. They didn't last long because Orbison died the year they release their first album. Their only other album was released after his death. Petty and Harrison are of course now also gone. If you want to see something epic: Harrison's posthumous induction into the R&R Hall of Fame, featuring Petty, Lynn, Steve Winwood, and a number of other major 70's rock musicians, with Prince delivering the guitar solo. Don't miss this: th-cam.com/video/6SFNW5F8K9Y/w-d-xo.html&pbjreload=10
No, it wasn’t. If you know the TW’s foundation, you’d find they were under no influence by any other band. It’s like saying The Highwaymen were a direct response to the group Cream.
Yo you need to watch VoicePlay Daddy Sang Bass cover please!!! Also I don't know how I came across your videos but I've been binging all of your content 😂
Just your average bazillion$ band. Check out their song in which they were simply reading ads out of a magazine. With enough talent you can make anything sound good. Curious, going for the silent Bob look?

I'd like you to listen the songwriter and singer from Argentina. His name is Abel Pintos. I'd want you to listen EL ADIVINO (live). He opened his show with it

@@dreams2xs ...This is the correct version.
Love George's scouse accent
Roys’ smile at around 2:52 is absolutely priceless. Box of Frogs. Is very under rated as well. It was well before Traveling Wilburys.
Great reaction..
Fuckin George is so good.. underrated!!!

You had never heard them? Oh wow! You need to give a listen to 'End of the Line', that's one of my favorites from them .
Me too!
Agreed. My all time favourite!
Bob and Tom both play harmonica for sure but i believe they all play it, they all play multiple instruments!
Yep true, Bob Dylan and his harp! The sheer talent in this one song is mind blowing.

Tom Petty said Roy's funeral was just 1 day before the making of the video The End of the Line .
Jim Keltner on drums!
Everybody always ignore the drummer Jim Keltner. HE ABSOLUTELY BELONGS IN THIS SUPER GROUP LINEUP.
If no one has said this Jim Keltner on drums was probably the best session drummer in America at the time. He didn't think he was good enough to be a Wilbury so they named him Sidebury.
I LOVE THEM!!! My favorite of theirs is End of the Line. Bob was known for the harmonica. Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison both also played the harmonica. Thanks for doing this one!
Check out the true history of the. Traveling Wilburys
What I love about the group
One said that they are very close friends
And once they got together
It was magical
No Egos at all
Love these guys. I haven't heard them in years. Thank you for jogging my memory. I think that you need to find a picture of a wilbury and move it around the map since it is traveling. 🤣
You haven't heard from them lately because three of them are dead.
Love these guys, just hate we've lost so many of them over the years. Such incredible lost talent. But we've got their videos, so future generations can enjoy them! ❤

Look at the hands, Roy Orbison is playing the harmonica!
Brilliant song and have not heard it in ages. Thanks so much.
Put one in each country :D thanks for sharing - such a joy seeing and hearing these again - I always was a George Harrison fan :D
I hope you keep your every changing stuff on top of your dresser when you move! Keeps me coming back!
Lol. The background will be far more interesting in the future 😆🤘
Oh, boy! You're so young!!!
On december 4th 1956 four guys had alittle in promptu recording session the 4 guys was Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lewis and Carl Perkins and the album was called the million dollar quartet, but since the didn´t perfom as a group i don't know i the can be considered a supergroup, otherwise i think they must be the OG supergroup.
Personaly i have loved all of these individuals in turn i am a 72 year old vietnam veteran us army so i have seen a bunch and i play 12 string guitar and blues harmonica thanks from this old guy for all you do
1987-88. Their recordings were all over the radio.

Never heard this before, thanks! Have you listened to much Crosby, Stills and Nash? I'd love to see you react to Woodstock or Carry On.
A big YES for "Carry On"!
Oh God I loved these guys. Incredible talented musicians and song writers. If you like this one give End of the Line (its Alright) a listen. Was my favorite this group made though I think it was written and recorded after Orbison's Death.
Roy recorded the song, but passed before the video was made. The rest of the group had a touching reserved spot for him.

Actually, in the video you can see Roy Orbison take out the harmonica from his sleeve.
Great classic tune!

This was Direct response to The Highwaymen... Johnny Cash. Chris Christopherson. Willie Nelson. Waylon Jennings.
No, it wasn’t. If you know the TW’s foundation, you’d find they were under no influence by any other band. It’s like saying The Highwaymen were a direct response to the group Cream.
Keep it up! Love the Videos!
Tweeter and the Monkey Man was THE Dylan track and the strongest next to this one.
The OG supergroup was considered to be Emerson lake and Palmer back in '69 - '70 ☮️
Cream and CS&N held the title for a while, as well as Blind Faith.
@@jeffmartin1026 yes but I remember magazine covers saying they were the first supergroup. They certainly were a supergroup.
Check out "Not Alone Anymore" by these guys. I suspect you may like it.

Hey man, you got to react to juzzie Smith, one man band!! He is crazy good
