NO CONCERT, BUT THIS COLLABORATION BAND WITH TOP MUSICIAN MEMBERS

FAMOUS musician collaboration band that never played a concert when the lineup was complete. Ever heard of a band called Travelling Wilbury? A collaboration band that came out of jamming with many famous musicians in the 80’s like Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne. Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.

“Wilbury” is a slang term used by Harrison during the recording process of the Cloud Nine album with Jeff Lynne, meaning a recording error due to equipment failure, Harrison made a joke aimed at Lynne: “We’ll bury ’em in the mix”.

The band was driven by the band members’ desire to play together, and to make it an ego-free project, they all used aliases with the surname Wilbury and shared songwriting credits.

Although they never performed together, they helped each other with each other’s solo album projects, such as Lynne and Petty worked together on Orbison’s final album, Mystery Girl (1989). Harrison also co-wrote a song on the album. Lynne produced and played on Petty’s solo album Full Moon Fever (1989). Harrison also played guitar on one song and Orbison provided backing vocals on the album. Harrison played on Bob Dylan’s solo album Under the Red Sky (1990). Petty and Harrison helped produce Lynne’s album Armchair Theatre (1990).

Traveling Wilbury members’ pseudonyms:
Volume 1: “Nelson Wilbury” – George Harrison, “Otis Wilbury” – Jeff Lynne, “Lefty Wilbury” – Roy Orbison, “Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr. – Tom Petty, “Lucky Wilbury” – Bob Dylan.

Volume 3: “Spike Wilbury” – George Harrison, “Clayton Wilbury” – Jeff Lynne, “Muddy Wilbury” – Tom Petty, “Boo Wilbury” – Bob Dylan.
