THE TRAVELING WILBURYS

The official home of The Traveling Wilburys: George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison.

The Birth of the Traveling Wilburys

Introduction by mo ostin.

The birth of the Traveling Wilburys was a happy accident. Warner Bros. Records’ International Department had asked that George Harrison come up with a B-side for “This Is Love,” a single from his Cloud Nine album. At the time it was customary to couple an A-side with a never-before-heard track, giving the single extra sales value.

This was mid-1988. Cloud Nine was just out. George, along with cowriter Jeff Lynne and their friends Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison, had been hanging out in Dylan’s studio. I suppose George figured that as long as his pals were on hand, why not use them to knock off this flipside?

Traveling Wilburys Revue

The Traveling Wilburys Revue is an amazing tribute to the music of George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne – when they played together as the 1988 supergroup, Traveling Wilburys. At the WOW Hall, you now have the chance to see the closest thing to the Traveling Wilburys: The Traveling Wilburys Revue.

The original Traveling Wilburys never got to perform live the music created out of that brief moment at the invitation of George Harrison to ‘get together and write some songs’, but The Traveling Wilburys Revue’s live concerts have thrilled a multitude of audiences.

The Traveling Wilburys Revue, as a musically accurate recreation, sets high performance standards as it celebrates the enduring music of the original artists. Fans cheer for the hit songs from the three-album catalog; no one can resist singing along to famous tunes such as “Handle With Care”, “End Of The Line”, “Last Night”, “Here Comes The Sun”, “Won’t Back Down”, “Pretty Woman”, “Like A Rolling Stone”, “Don’t Bring Me Down”, and other beloved songs.
