Great artists that produced excellent product. Beyond the hits that were heard on the radio, buy this collection to listen to ALL of these good tracks.
To be perfectly honest, I would have bought the entire album just for "End Of The Line," but there's so much more, including a very good cover of Del Shannon's "Runaway." These five guys made wonderful music together, and they weren't even serious about it. It's really a shame Roy Orbison and George Harrison couldn't have been with them (and us) longer.
If you like Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and/or Jeff Lynne (ELO) then you would probably like this. I found it fresh and entertaining - a bunch of really talented people just enjoying themselves. The DVD captures it well too. Buy it.
The company was prompt - had the item ahead of date. Arrived in great condition. A perfect gift for an eclectic music lover.
All 3 of whom I've become huge fans of. Your one of the guys who got the Wilbury's going. It was good to see Roy Orbison laughing and George, Jeff, and Tom laughing, made me laugh as well. As Tom Petty said, "it's George's band, it's always George's band".
I bought a couple Tom Petty albums. The Wilbury's went platinum right before his death. You see after I heard teh Wilbury's, my change in music occured. I used to listen to anything that just plain sounded good and that was it. I recall that I was having bad days, and I regained good spirits, especially after Roy singing 'not alone any more'.There is one negative aspect I feel the need to point out: Bob Dylan was never present at the outside area when the others hung out, I guess he joined the group just for the sake of gaining popularity. Tom Petty, I noticed you've paid tributes to the Wilbury's numerous times and to the other bandmates. R.I.P and hope your present world has become a better place of eternal rest and happiness.Jeff Lynne, your my next favorite member, your talents and arrangements and voice with this group and with ELO have been remarkable.
Now I have placed Roy as my favorite singer. He never laughed when the others laughed when Roy sung the words 'trembling wilbury'. I also noticed in the picture with the 5 present, when Roy and George sitting down, he's in the middle, or should I say trying to be the center of attention. His other bandmates were his pallbearers. This treat contains 2 cd's and a dvd, and they are impressive. Sorry, just feel the need to tell what I observed. Moreover, if you are a huge fan of the Wilbury's then this treat is a must have. Come to think of it as another person here mentioned, there was a 6th member, Jim Keltner.
I was buying cd after cd of Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne or the Electric Light Orchestra, and George Harrison. I guess I consider the supergroup, my acorn or roots. They have always kept my head up. When I got introduced to the Wilbury's I was very impressed with the group. Lastly, I will say this about each of them:Roy Orbison, thank you very much for your performances, your music I'll continue to cherish.
Even if you are a huge fan of one of the bandmates, or 2, or 3, you will be pleased. Thank you.George Harrison, the supergroup I realize was your dream from start to finish. Your voice contributed to the overall group sound as well, and thanks.Jim Keltner, although it is so that you've been in the shadows of such a supergroup, however, I like to think that the drums were the backbone to the music. The price was reasonable, the time I got this music couldn't of been better. I like to think that Roy died a happy man.
R.I.P George and I hope whereever you are, it's become a better place. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for the Wilbury's, I wouldn't of been very interested in music. From what I heard of him, he's always been a friend of the other guys. You've possessed a happy gift to so many that you were known by many for your creation of music and known by few for your kindheartedness. Thanks Jim.
