Title of this has spelling error: travelling should be traveling. How does one change an entry title? user:JDG
I thought that there was a volume 2, but it was never released because Roy Orbison died, and they decided it should only go out after they all died. Ergo, volume 3. MShonle 02:26, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I don't see what the White Album photo of George Harrison adds to the article; the timeframe is wrong and the famousness of the image in another context distracts. The group photo is better and should be the featured one. I've removed the George photo for now, if others disagree we can discuss here. Jgm 23:49, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
User:Wahkeenah seems upset to the point of Godwinizing the process about the removal of a bit of trivia. Sorry you took offense to this; even in a "trivia" section a statement about one chord on one song on one Wilburys album seems too trivial. Mentioning it on an article about the particular song, as you've now done, seems much more appropriate. So, good show all around. Jgm 17:53, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I was irritated at the tone of arrogance taken by whoever deleted it initially without discussion. As long as everyone's happy with the current setup, I'm happy too. :) And don't get carried away with the "Godwin's law" stuff.

Tweeter and the Monkey Man was covered by a small Canadian band, The Headstones. There's also a rock tribute band of that name, with a website at the title + .com.
Apparently Monkey Man is a known term in the blues world, at least according to this page at bobdylan.com: "In the Travelin' Wilburys' late-80s Dylan song 'Tweeter And the Monkey Man', 'Tweeter' might be new but "the monkey man" is straight from the blues world. One strategy for surviving the semi-itinerant life was for the male blues singer to attach himself to a sexy woman who could also cook and make money; in effect he would then rent her out to a "monkey man" - a dupe who would give her money and gifts in the mistaken belief that he alone was her love-object: money that would end up in the bluesman's pocket." Just thought I'd mention these bits here, in case anyone else ever wants to know. ;-) JesseW, the juggling janitor 08:14, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Isn't that a picture of a pirated compilation? If so it's hardly appropriate. It's also creased. If an album scan is acceptable under Fair Use couldn't someone scan the cover of, say, Volume 1? -- kingboyk 22:09, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
The article states "Volume 3 as a nod of recognition to bootleggers who had issued 'Volume 2' containing early studio mixes/alternate takes" but I've read on several sites that it was because Tom Petty's album, Full Moon Fever was unofficially subtitled volume 2, as George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne also colaborated together with Petty on that. I've also read, though less frequently, that the skipping of volume 2 was to pay tribute to Roy Orbison's passing. I've searched around and can't find anything definitive to prove or disprove any of the three suggestions. Does anyone have something that authenticates one of the stories? If not, I'd like to add a section that briefly discusses all three possibilities.
On Tom Petty's 'Running down a dream' doco, either Tom or Jeff Lynne(I believe it was Jeff) explain this. As someone already commented, there were bootlegs already out called 'Traveling Wilburys: Vol 2", therefore they called the real album volume 3. I can find that part again and quote it exactly if anyone needs it..

Someone (not me) added a link on 17 Jan to the Wilburys videos on Rhino's site, but the link was later removed by MER-C. It seems to me that since the videos were on a legitimate site (not YouTube or a blog), run by the band's current label, that this link was a valid addition. Unless someone knows of a Wikipedia policy against all video links, I think this one should be reinstated. EJSawyer ( talk) 21:55, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I came upon this article, while watching PBS's documentary on this band. According to Jeff Lynne, he suggested Tom Petty to George, because he was working with him at the time. George, said something like "Of course, Tom, too."
Now, I'm no expert on this topic, but it was Jeff Lynne talking on the video on PBS, so maybe it wasn't George leaving his guitar behind at Tom's house, that brought the thought of Tom being included, too. Up to you, of course. Maybe this video can be found on YouTube or PBS to verify?

Unlike The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, the Traveling Wilburys did not use the definite article "the" before their name on any of their published works. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name).
It appears this page was initially moved on the basis of the title of the 2007 release The Traveling Wilburys Collection and the incorrect notion that "The Traveling Wilburys" was a possessive pronoun (it would have read The Traveling Wilburys' Collection if that was the case) rather than an adjective. Piriczki ( talk) 11:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
It is a small point, but on their official website they are almost exclusively called the Traveling Wilburys, or The Traveling Wilburys, but never just Traveling Wilburys. Whenever "Traveling Wilburys" is used alone it is always used to name a derivative work, albums, photo albums, etc. Also, the Traveling Wilburys' logo does have a fairly obvious "the" in it, which seems a rather large fact to have been overlooked. I, for one, would say, despite the album names, that the logo, complete with the word the, should be enough to send this page back to The Traveling Wilburys. mpbx ( talk) 12:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
The Traveling Wilburys are Traveling Wilburys who are close friends, They are a group of friends who did not form a band but collaborated on two albums end of story! They made music incredible music for the sake of having fun. They played around with making up names etc. Thats what makes it all great and people need to take it for what it is and not make more that what is it, it's ridiculous to see how many people in this world want to correct the name, how it spelled blah blah blah , GET YOUR OWN LIFE ALREADY and leave the musicians alone as you can see they don't want or need your help to clarify thier own information to make you feel better, they owe YOU NOTHING, the music is REWARD ENOUGH .... like or lump it for crying out Loud! This is the greatest Albums ever produced, that is my strong opinion and this is one you will sing for ages and through generations I am proud to have been able to hear it. Truly a happy accident!

In response to Mclay1 What doesn't matter is the corrections every one wants to input, all you have to do is talk to them they will tell you we are / were Traveling Wilburys not The Traveling Wilburys so no it does not matter because The group of friends who made the music itself is not be accounted for it's people's opinions trying to be forced here! So people running this site should get the name correct. Go straight to the top the people who are responsible for the Incredible Music produced. Tom Petty said Jeff came up with we are Traveling Wilburys and furthermore ... The only Links connected to this page should be of the Artist and the Videos of the Artists Albulm(s)/CDS.

The parody group The Traveling Pillsburys based their name on The Traveling Wilburys. Bizzybody ( talk) 05:06, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
I tried to rework the lead-in's list of main Wilburys but the change was immediately undone by another contrib, so I figured I'd best raise the issue here on the talk page (should've probably raised it here to start with, I realise). My thinking was/is that an alphabetical list of participants is not an accurate reflection of the line-up, no more than if Harrison were to be listed first in The Beatles' line-up (Harrison, Lennon, McCartney, Starr). With the WIlburys, Harrison has been acknowledged as the leader by Petty and Lynne – Petty calls him "the ideas man", and both have referred to Harrison being a Wilbury for the rest of his life – and as an act, the Wilburys were automatically signed under Harrison's second Warner Bros. deal. Having Dylan listed first isn't reflective also because he neither took part in any promotion for their two albums, nor played in the rare live performances under the loose "Wilburys" identity (i.e., Petty's set at Concert for George in 2002, and Harrison's posthumous R 'n' R Hall of Fame induction in 2004). I realise that an alpha order that puts Dylan first isn't necessarily stating that Bob was the band's leader, it's just that, as with naming participants for The Concert for Bangladesh in alpha order (ie, Clapton, Dylan, Harrison, etc, as it was and perhaps still is in those album and film credits), it's misleading, and alternatives have been suggested ...
Turning to reliable sources, The New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll (Fireside/Rolling Stone Press, 1995; ISBN 0-684-81044-1) gives the order as follows: Harrison, Dylan, Lynne, Petty, Orbison. Personally, I think that's still flattering Dylan's role, but the point is that, in an encyclopaedic setting, Harrison is listed first. Allmusic also lists Harrison first (although I'd hesitate before calling Allmusic reliable ...). I notice the article's lead-in currently carries a ref quoting Mo Ostin's liner notes for the 2007 TW Collection; on page 2 of the booklet (reproduced on the official website), Ostin writes: "The five frontmen (Harrison, Lynne, Petty, Dylan, and Orbison) decided not to use their own names." Again, Harrison appears first, and (I'd suggest) a correct second-in-the-list for Jeff Lynne. Because, as discussed in this article, and as Lynne has mentioned in interviews, the concept for the Wilburys was born in the UK in 1987; also, Harrison and Lynne carried out a significant amount of overdubs at Friar Park without the others – those two were the main creators, and as the lead-in states, the Wilburys were an "English–American" band (not "American–English", despite being three-fifths American until Orbison's death). And Simon Leng makes the point that Harrison stepped up even more in terms of producer and leader during the second album. I'd be interested to know what other contribs think, because credit where it's due, this was Harrison's baby, just as the Bangladesh project was his (and Ravi's) creation, and not the work of Clapton, Dylan or whoever else happened to have a surname beginning with a letter closer to the start of the alphabet.

I've removed The Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers from the "Associated acts" section in the infobox. Per Template:Infobox musical artist#associated_acts, they do not belong here as only one member from this supergroup was part of each of these bands. That alone does not make them associated. 216.163.247.1 ( talk) 20:50, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Either their name begins with The or it doesn't. I'm taking this word away from the beginning of the article because it doesn't belong.
If you believe it does belong, then FIRST get the title of the article changed. Until then, leave it out. TooManyFingers ( talk) 06:03, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
