George once said that there was only one real singer in this band, and they were all in awe of him. Roy Orbison.
_George was just a magnificent human - R.I.P._
True but all the other members were intimidated by Roy…..totally unbelievable but true
@@deepprey2776 I read that that the other band members were going around saying "I'm in a band with Roy fcking Orbison!" They were all fanboying so hard! 😂
@@mccpcorn2000 Music scholars suggest that Orbison had a three-or four-octave range and his powerful, impassioned voice earned him all of the others respect and admiration. Roy Orbison was so underrated.
Jeff and Bob are the only two left. These guys are literally a time capsule of Rock history.
Guys, the curly haired guy is Jeff Lynn, HE IS E.L.O. Literally, he was everything with that band, he hired other musicians when touring to do what he did in the studio. He was also the producer for the Travelling Wilbury's as well as producing George Harrison's Cloud Nine album.
Well, Jeff LYNNE, but really close. :)
And in more interconnected work, produced Tom Petty’s first solo album.
Also, the Traveling Wilbury's would not exist without Jeff Lynne.
Agreed with everything you said....except that there would be ELO without Bev Bevan , both he and Jeff were ELO, just two Birmingham kids with a passion for music.
@@robk5159 I was not fortunate enough to see Bev when I saw ELO in February of 1982. The drummer for After The Fire (their opening band) filled in for him that night because Bev had the flu so bad. 😢 Bev is integral to founding of them, you’re right!
There as a reason why Roy Orbison was known simply as “The Voice”. Nobody was better. Even Elvis said so.
Roy could sing in 3 octaves and he made sure to show it!
Music is so subjective. I love certain voices and hate others. My favourite old-timey voice was, hands down, Nat King Cole. Dean Martin was a close second. Orbison wasn’t high on my list, and I never liked Elvis, but weirdly, I love Aaron Neville’s unique voice. No way to explain it.
Roy Was Awesome!
When did Elvis say that?
@@thecynic9232Roy is ok. I love his voice. For me Elvis is a better singer than Roy.
The one person in this band who unfortunately gets no love at all is the drummer, Jim Keltner. He's a prolific studio drummer, who's recorded with every former Beatle except Paul McCartney. He plays for the Traveling Wilburys under the pseudonym Buster Sidebury.
For anyone who knows drummers Jim Kelton is a legend. ✌️
I'm pretty sure he played drums on all the Wilbury solo albums of that era as well.
@@andymageen5308 Better than Jim Keltner?
He's a legend among drummers, but not among the general music-listening public--they've never heard of him. Session musicians rarely make a name for themselves outside the biz. That's why he's not mentioned as a member of the super-group.
jim keltner was credited as Sidebury
Roy Orbison's voice is embedded in every old school jukebox that still exist, everytime i hear his voice, i think of an old jukebox in an old truck stop diner
The story behind this song is so cool, George and Jeff are in LA, Jeff calls Roy "hey come meet Goerge and let's have lunch", George gets a call, needs a b side to a single for release, now they need a place to record, Bob has a studio in his garage, Roy wants to tag along, George has to get his guitar at Tom's house, Tom tags along, get to Bob's, "What do we write about" George see a box with a sticker,and Handle With Care is born
Now, compare that legendary story to the autotuned forgetful tiktok bullshit that passes for music today. (insert sadface here).
@@celt67 😟😞☹️🙁
find the You Tube video on 'The True History of The Traveling Wilburys' made while they were recording the tracks of VOL 1.
The story I heard was Petty fooling around with Lynn, and Tom liked to help older acts like Donavan and Orbison so was last to join. Petty seems to be the core of this group. Nobody else among them were making hits, this is Petty's writing.
@@davebunnell1105 Tom was at his peak during this time
They weren't exactly ancient when this was recorded in 1988. Bob Dylan - 47,
Jeff Lynne - 41
Tom Petty - 37
Roy Orbison - 52
George Harrison - 45
One of the best supergroups of all time. Sadly, their discography is not large, especially as Roy passed away not long after their first album. You've done both of their biggest hits, but they have a few more you could give a listen to - "Heading For the Light", "She's My Baby", and "Inside Out" are worth it. RIP George, Roy, and Tom. Final thought - you know it's a supergroup when Jeff Lynne (of ELO) is the LEAST recognizable person in it!
I vote for Jim Keltner for least recognizable, LOL. He was a much sought after session drummer as you probably know.
@@surlechapeau Well, I didn't know... but I do now.
I always loved their names Nelson, Otis, Lefty, Charlie T Jr, and Lucky (George, Jeff, Roy, Tom, and Bob) Wilburry and Jim Keltner was Buster Sideburry
@@surlechapeau I wonder why they didn't get ringo to drum. Would've made the lineup even more epic.
I think they should just do an album reaction/review for both albums.
I've always felt like George Harrison is so underrated. He had such a great voice and was a great musician. "Here comes the sun..."
Je was unlucky in that he was in the only group in history to have THREE Musical geniuses:)
“The Quiet Beatle” definitely had something special. Not like it’s the only song he ever wrote as a solo artist, but c’mon: “While my guitar gently weeps” is an absolute masterpiece.
And incidentally, his son Dhani Harrison has recently become the first Beatles offspring to win a Grammy! Congrats Dhani! Didn’t just inherit his dad’s looks, but apparently his musical talent as well. ❤️
@@ashleydixon4613 This reaction channel is snake oil. You can clearly see she hates the song. Desperately trying to break out in to a fake smile. So apparent. Another grifting channel. Bye.
@@Isleofskye ...and an amazing drummer! 🥁
Yeah! I love Georgie sooooo much. Have his face on my arm 🙃
This is one of the very few videos that actually had Roy Orbison in it .
Shortly after this album was made Roy passed away of a sudden Heart attack .
If you notice in one of the bands other videos there's a chair with Roy's guitar in it where he would have been .
I love Amber's smile when Roy Orbison starts singing!!!
I chuckle when I think of Roy in the room with these guys, apparently they said to him, “you’re the best voice out of all of us.” Roy simply said “yes.” It’s fascinating to me how much Roy’s voice hits men square in the heart and soul. It never fails. He has a cry in his voice that men know. And they recognize he knows their heart, where their love lies.
It kicks off with the sublime soft vocals of Harrison, then the dreamy voice of Orbison.......to then be crucified with Dylans nails down a blackboard vocals!
Perhaps the greatest super group ever. Their name came from a saying that when you made a mistake during recording a song the engineer would say he "will bury" the mistake during final production.
Had no idea. :)
Actually it was a George saying, they were recording Cloud Nine and were having equipment grimlins, every time one popped up George would say "No problem, we'll burry it in the mix". The original name was Trembling Wilburys, thank god Jeff suggested Traveling
They would be the best without USA For Africa.
And the Handle with care was off a box that had been mailed!
Jay makes the comment of Roy Orbison still singing at his age…I looked it up….he was 52!
I guess he’s one of those people who just always looked older, I assumed he was in his mid to late 70’s.
The comming together of legendary talent, but Roy Orbison was a vocal machine.
Check out Roy Orbison's amazing vocals on the Wilbury's song "Not Alone Anymore"!
@@bostonwhofan And "Pretty Woman" is a MUST!
@@bostonwhofan wow, that's a weeper! And so beautiful 😍!
Not to mention George Harrison of the Beatles, and Don Was.
RIP George, Tom & Roy. The guy with the curly hair is Jeff Lynne from ELO.
The Traveling Wilburys is a rock supergroup from 1988, made up of Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, & Jeff Lynne. They had a lot of great songs such as "End Of The Line", "Heading For The Light", "Inside Out", "Tweeter & The Monkey Man", "Dirty World", "Last Night", "She's My Baby", "Rattled", "Nobody's Child", "Congratulations" etc. Sadly only 2 guys are now left from this group (Bob Dylan & Jeff Lynne).
Yes tweeter & the monkey man is great along with the rest you mentioned 👍
Jim Keltner, the drummer, is still alive at age 80.
The story of how the band came together is fun.
All super talented......but dang when Roy comes in 🙂🙂🙂
Jeff Lynn is the lead of ELO. Roy passed away shortly after this album was recorded. If you watch the video for end of the line again, you’ll see an empty rocking chair in all his parts in honor of him
The whole album is brilliant,and by the way,that curly haired guy is genius Jeff Lynne of ELO.
The talent in that room is mind blowing.
When the Traveling Wilbury's debut single was released it did not include the real artist names. but rather their pseudonyms (Nelson, Lucky, Lefty, Charlie, and Otis Wilbury). The super group wanted to remain anonymous for as long as possible after the release of the first single. For radio program directors who weren't paying close attention and shelved the record, or tossed it, soon regretted it. It was a fun project put together by five friends that found success organically. They did not want their famous names to influence the radio airplay. The sound is iconic and, in my opinion, the best band to come out of the 80's.
Roy Orbison has a once in a lifetime voice, we are lucky to hear it .
Roy toured with buddy holly
The curly headed dude is Jeff Lynne.......ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA. Remember "Mr. BLUE SKY"?
And you have to remember the Drummer is Jim Keltner probably the best studio drummer ever.
Did ya'll notice the Legendary Roy Orbison was rockin' a ponytail? WHAT A TREASURE HE WAS!
Not sure from the video if you realize that Jeff Lynne is the lead singer from ELO. Know you guys love them.
Harrison,Dylan, Petty and Lynn all loved and bowed to Roy during these sessions
Amber’s reaction to the members of this group is exactly how we all felt when they first started recording together… in awe, almost giddy
They did what they did is because they all loved to make great music. They were all good friends on top of it all.
The fifth guy you guys don't recognize is Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra, one of your other faves and a producer extraordinaire. He's the common denominator between the others and responsible for pulling them together to perform as The Traveling Wilburys.
They were all neighbours and personal friends and they would hang together and jam for fun. That's how it started.
Roy was like an orchestra. Nothing but legends here.
The vocals of Ray Orbison are extraordinary.
You would have to be a big Beatles' fan from the past to understand that one of the verses in the song was about George's experience with The Beatles.
"Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Handle me with care"
So sad that three of these five legends are no longer with us.
Wonder how many years George dreamed of playing guitar with Dylan playing harmonica. And all the other 4 were just totally awed singing with Roy, he was huge even before the Beatles
I miss Roy so much...his beautiful voice. So sad they couldn't have had at least one more album with him. RIP Tom, Roy and George.
Yes Kim, at least one more. What makes it even more melancholy, Roy absolutely LOVED being in that group.
@@kevinskogg2179 They all did, they were making music and having fun, some bands make music because they need money or because they have a certain deal that they can't back out of or various other reasons, but this was purely for fun.
I Miss Him Too! He Had An Awesome Voice.
They were actually good friends and each was in some way an influence on each other. It was a blessing that they all got to do an album together before Roy Orbison, and later George Harrison and Tom petty, died. Heaven's got to have one hell of a rock band!
Elvis was asked what it was like to have the greatest voice. Elvis replied "I don't know, ask Roy Orbison"
Albert Einstein was once asked what it was like to be the smartest man. He replied "I don't know, ask Nicola Tesla"
@@gregorymoore2877 Einstein was no dummy as you pointed out! 😊
The curly haired gentleman is the genius behind ELO Jeff Lynn and he is the one who brought the Travelling Wilbury’s together!
“Curly Head” is Jeff Lynne, the driving force behind ELO. (and an amazing record producer who has worked with ALL the biggest names)
PS - they do a version of “Nobody’s Child” that will make you cry. (bring a box of tissues)
Jeff Lynne, a co-founder of The Traveling Wilburys in 1989, was the leader, lead singer, and sole song writer of ELO (Electric Light Orchestra 1971-1986). He also produced albums by Tom Petty, George Harrison, and Roy Orbison (to name a few). He also produced the Beatles "Free As A Bird" in 1995. He is one who has always liked his privacy, so you never really heard much about him in the media. He's a musical genius, considered by many to be a shy, quiet, down to Earth, nice, humble, and low key kind of guy. He's an amazing man who wrote "Evil Woman" in 20 minutes while waiting in a studio to record, and who wrote the complete "Out Of The Blue" (1977) double vinyl album in only two weeks after sequestering himself in a chalet in the Swiss Alps!
For your next Bob Dylan song, I would suggest reacting to "Hurricane." It's an 8-minute song, but tells the story of boxer Rubin (Hurricane) Carter, who spent 20 years in prison for murder. It's got Dylan's typical biting lyrics and includes a haunting violin throughout the song.
One of the few Dylan preformed songs that I like.
And I'd throw in Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again too
@@stephaniesupernault3970 ..and you can understand all the words sung.
Absolutely. One of Dylan's greatest lyric and the musical arrangement is outstanding.
My favorite
The verse that begins with "Been stuck in airports, terrorized..." was how George sometimes felt about being in the Beatles. "Overexposed, commercialized, handle me with care..."
This is what I came here to comment on. Hearing George sing those lyrics really drives home how terrifying some of his experiences as a Beatle really were. And he was so young at the time, too!
This group of legends made such terrific music together, and it's obvious they had a blast doing it. It's an in joke that Orbison sang the "I'm so tired of being lonely" part, because many of his songs were about loneliness.
Only The Lonely
These guys were already established musicians in their own right. When they created the supergroup Traveling Wilburys it was just for fun. And yet, they left an impression.
I think you guys are right on Roy. All five are legends, but Roy's singing on this song was icing on the cake. RIP Roy, George, Tom.
Such a great group. Roy’s voice. WOW! ❤❤❤
The curly haired guy is the mastermind of ELO… Jeff Lynne. You will remember who he is by doing more ELO reactions
Really appreciate George's voice in this song. The whole song is great! (Edit: Love the harmonica and drums!)
George Harrison's ability to make the 12 string guitar sing as part of the song is amazing!
I'm cryin'. The Wilburys were a true gift to all of us.
They literally had a week to write and record that album. Jeff "The Genius" Lynne, formerly of ELO, was producing George's album that had "Got My Mind Set On You" and they wanted a B side. Things came together, and the rest is history. Watch the documentary made about how it all came together.
Amber nailed it . 1 of the only EGO free bands, they all loved music so much as musicians singers and writers, that’s what makes them so special together, they can feed off each other not on each other like most bands do.
Rush never had members with egos and were a band that retired because of age 🇨🇦
In 1977 the year that Elvis died Johnny Cash decided to pay respects to his friend on his Christmas TV special with the three remaining members of the Sun Records Million Dollar Quartet plus Roy Orbison by singing a version of "This Train". So that supergroup was Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins and when they pay tribute to Elvis it's something quite amazing (again no egos) so if you can find I would definitely recommend you watching/reacting to it.
I've been a big fan of the Wilbury's since long before they were Wilbury's. One of the absolute best super groups I've ever known. 👍
I don’t know if someone mentioned this before. But the “Curly haired guy” is Jeff Lynne, amazing music producer responsible for so many hits and he was also the lead singer and guitarist for Electric Light Orchestra.
@@amykidd6811 yeah. I agree. That’s why I said I didn’t know if someone mentioned it before. It’s an obvious comment. Lol
"Was" lead singer and guitarist? Isn't ELO still performing?
@@DianaJG8 yes. My bad wording. But they don’t perform very often. None scheduled this year.
@@GeekingOutWithPete more known as 'Jeff Lynne's ELO' these days. Only two original members left.
@@GeekingOutWithPete - Ok, cool! - NP Thanks! 😊👍
The mutual respect that they all had for each other was just off the scale - ego's firmly left behind, something I wonder wouldn't happen so smoothly in todays music industry! RIP to those of this irreplaceable supergroup that once was who are sadly no longer with us.
Today's music industry is 14-28ish. Adult musicians and music are in the background.
Great tune! Love George's singing. But Roy Orbison's voice. Wrings my heart.. Nothing like it. So warm. Right Amber. Unique. And those baby pics! Great reaction! Thanks!!
Yes, there will never be another like Roy Orbison, love this song and group, five legends of rock
George's voice comes in so pure & beautiful, then the soulful Roy Orbison, takes it to another level.
Mate, you have Tom Petty who is amazing at belting out a chorus, Jeff Lynne has a very solid voice, George Harrison who has a beautiful and relaxed voice, Roy Orbison a powerful, yet soulful beautiful voice and Bob Dylan who is the greatest songwriter of all time that ties them together with Lyrics, but also provides that husky backing to help the others stand out more and they are all great on Guitar.
God it’s so sad to think Tom, George and Roy are gone. Especially Tom being so young. I miss Tom so much. His death and Princes death, I may never get past them and the waste.
One of the best songs of the 80's...brilliant lyrics, harmonies, melody.
I absolutely love the traveling willburys and every artist in the group individually
As I recall, "Handle With Care" received a lot of airplay when released in 1988 (due to the superstar artists involved) but it only reached #45 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The follow--up single "End of the Line" (which I also heard quite frequently) peaked @ #63! Strange but true.
This does not tell the full story, as the album did well, as did the video for Handle With Care on MTV.
That is odd. I was 21 then and I remember hearing these songs all the time!!!
I more or less recall the same about the album being popular but the singles not being as big. Should have been respected more at the time. I can honestly say I was too young to appreciate this song then as much as I do now. I was 14 in 1988 and a huge Metalhead. It’s not that I didn’t like it, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and a ton of other bands just got more of my attention.
Depends on the demographic of your fanbase, you could shift a billion albums and not have a hit single.
I haven't bought a single since I was about 17 ( Which was a long time before the Wilbury's formed ) but I have The Wilbury's albums.
@@paulhanson5164 True. I went out and bought the album based on how good this song was. I didn’t waste money on singles in the 80s.
Respect to you both for respecting the grand musicians in view.
My favorite Wilburys song!! Please consider these songs from the band members. Tom Petty Learning To Fly. George Harrison When We Was Fab. Jeff Lynne (ELO) Telephone Line. Roy Orbison You Got It. Bob Dylan Positively 4th Street. And the Wilburys have so many other songs worth a listen!! Love you guys... Keep smiling!! 🎶😁🎶
What a hell of a supergroup, respect them all so much. Roy had an angel voice, George had a beautiful one too, and Bob and Tom had very lookalike effective vocals. The icing on the cake : Jeff Lynne, such a great composer and producer
If you haven't done it, you must do "End of the Line", you'll cry at their tribute to Roy.
This was actually Roy Orbisons last album before he sadly passed. But before he died Tom petty called him to let him know their album was a massive success.. Roy was very happy.
Jeff Lynne's production, song writing, and instrument contributions made up a good part of what you see.
Yeah Harrison was dominate in this one but quite a few of their tunes has a Jeff Lynne vibe all over it
Five music gods in one band.
Speaking of legendary super group need to check out The Highway Men ,Johnny Cash,Waylon Jennings,Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson
I didn't see it in this video, but if you watch the official video, it shows a pair of hands and a harmonica. You would think either Bob Dylan or Tom Petty would be playing it, since they both regularly play harmonica and guitar at the same time. However, if you look close, it shows someone with a black jacket and red shirt playing the harmonica. It was Roy Orbison!
I didn't know he played harmonica.
George Harrison (Beatles) and Jeff Lynne (maestro of ELO… writer, composer, lyricist, singer of EVERY ELO song of which there are many great ones) came up with the idea of getting a group together while talking as friends one day. Each suggested several artists to be in the group, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison, and all agreed. They met at Dylan's house and wrote all the music in a week. Jeff produced the album The Traveling Wilburys”. This super group won the Grammy for best new group for their efforts that year. Every song is an absolute GEM!
That sweet smile from Roy Orbison at the 5:35 mark is all but heart rendering, but in an emtionally lovely way........a way that makes me feel so grateful to have grown up with his music and how he was one of the early pioneers of pop/ rock/folk/country music who had a profound influence on George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. May you R.I.P. Mr. Orbison.
On a serious note, this is one of those rare times when musicians actually are actively listening to each other. Each voice flows into the next. The music is simple. It's the harmonics between George, Roy, and everyone else that makes it great.
Jeff Lyne was the catalyst here. He was originally in The Move then moved on to the ELO. George asked him to produce an album for him (Cloud Nine) and ' Handle With Care' was a song George wrote but didn't quite know what to do with. He and Jeff were recording in Dave Stewarts house and the idea for the Wilburys came to fruition. Did you recognise Jim Keltner on drums ?
You need to hear Roy Orbison duet with K. D. Lang "Crying"
Means a lot to me seeing Roy Orbison smile. After the crises he had to go through he looked happy amoung these musician fellows. RIP
J & Amber, you'll love their "Heading for the Light"!! It has a real Beatles feel, George Harrison/Jeff Lynne on lead vocals.
All their voices are different and they are all great, so when you put them together the only possible result is an undeniable magic.
They were all really good friends, like many musicians and just wanted to jam together for fun!
Jeff Lynne electric light orchestra who is an amazing talent and who John Lennon and George Harrison both said was the only true musician they actually knew
Roy's voice is just so clean and on pointe. He's definitely the most vocally talented of the group and they wrote with that in mind, making sure there were points throughout the album where it could just shine. I recommend Running Scared for a super powerful and focused performance from him.
Jeff Lynne is the curly haired guy and was one of the founding members of ELO and it's main driving force after the first album (well 1 1/2). Check out early Jeff singing with ELO's 10538 Overture, a seminal song in music history.
The Traveling Wilbury's were fantastic and I always get chills when I hear Roy Orbison's voice on this song!
The song peaked at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. This song was the first recording made by the group, although it was originally intended as a bonus track on a European single by George Harrison. When he and Jeff Lynne presented the song to Harrison's record company, the executives insisted it was too good for that purpose, a decision that resulted in the formation of the Wilburys.
Thirty Five years ago, this group was HUGE!! These five icons coming together just to have fun and play some rock and roll away from the expectations of their own careers was major - and they were all friends who brought other friends into it.
They are brilliant. "End of the line" - I defy you to keep your feet still during that song 🎵 most of them have some really good beats... great vibe and amazing talent collaboration for sure!!!
Why Does Everyone Forget About Jim Keltner (Drums) He’s Played With The Plastic Ono Band (John Lennon), Booker T. & The MG’s & Ringo Star and His All Star Band.
I just mentioned Keltner too.
I really think that George was the one who was really able to get all of them together. The great part is that they were or became friends during the recording and the sad thing, as has been mentioned in other comments, Roy Orbison was really making a comeback to popularity with this and a solo album that was released around the same time (You Got it is one from that album you should check out) when he passed away. RIP Roy, Tom and George three legends of music.
I was never able to stomach Bob Dylan's voice. I recognize his immense talent though. But then the Wilburys came out, and I finally got it
A related cut worth checking out is While My Guitar Gently Weeps, one of George Harrison's best songs but the version done in his honor at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tribute. Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne on lead vocals. Steve Winwood on organ, Dhani Harrison (George's son) on rhythm guitar and a stunning guitar solo by Prince. This is a legendary live performance!!! A+ video as well.
Yes, please react to that performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
AGREED!! A stunning performance!
Prince was pissed he didn't make a "top 100 guitarists" list and destroyed the critics with his playing that night.
George got the group together. Wrote the best songs. Played that incredible lead / slide guitar.
In a band full of legendary icons they put Jeff Lynne in titular charge. That tells you the level of respect for Mr. Lynne.
More ELO
Peace
The drummer is Jim Keltner. A very accomplished session musician who's played on thousands of records.
This song was the catalyst that brought these 5 legends together. Great song. Great reaction!! RNB
Elvis called Roy " The Voice " and from what I heard tell Elvis was actually in awe of Roy and felt intimidated by him as far as vocal talent 😊
Of course, HAD to Buy the CD! So much good stuff on there, and I enjoyed it all! Of course, all the Artists are Hall Of Fame, esp. Roy Orbison. He goes so far back, and his voice WAS STILL just as great as during his prime! RIP to those we've lost.... They were ALL Special in their Own Way! Yet still came together so well, too.
