The birth of the Traveling Wilburys

 I found this photo and information the Roy Orbison Facebook page. 

After a little detective work, I found that Roy played in Anaheim at the Celebrity Theater on April 9, 1988.  

Pictured are: Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison Jr and some of Roy’s backing band.

Backstage at a Roy concert in Anaheim, California.

After recording the song “Handle With Care” and spending some days together casually, George Harrison wanted to record an album as a band.

Moments before this picture was taken, George Harrison gave the pitch for the band, got down on his knee to ask Roy to join the band. Roy said “yes” immediately.

There was no name for the band yet. By the next time they met, George had record company backing and the name - The Traveling Wilburys!

It was 20 years ago today

All of George's friends came to play....

The Concert For George was such a beautiful tribute to George Harrison.  I really cannot think of a better tribute for him.  

Temples in Flames Tour

 

October 17, 1987 -  Bob Dylan along with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers went on a great tour called "Temples in Flames."   The tour ended in London and so there is no surprise that George Harrison (and Jeff Lynne) showed up backstage.

Working on Real Love

 

Lately I have been really loving "Threetle" photos and thinking about what a wonderful time it was to a Beatles fan in the mid-1990s.
