great supporting cast also I might say if you don't know who is in this band you'll be surprised at the big names you'll find!

unfortunately they only came out with a few albums.

that's because Roy Orbison died in the middle of the second album and they didn't want to go on without him.

definately did 'em justice that's for damn sure!

HA HA DAMN IM A LOSER I USE TO THINK IT SAID

THINKIN BOUT GLADIS KNIGHT

LIKE THAT WAS A CHICK OR SOMETHING BUT I LUV THIS SONG........... NOW I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS

I am pretty sure this is a mostly Tom Petty song.. he sings most of it and it sounds like his writing. Such a great song.

Last Night by The Traveling Wilburys

Songfacts®:

• The Traveling Wilburys were perhaps the most accomplished supergroup that ever formed. Their five members were all future Rock and Roll Hall of Famers: Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne. They first got together to record a song for Harrison that ended up being " Handle With Care ." They had so much fun working together that they decided to become a band and record an entire album, which they called Volume One . They had less than two weeks to record the remaining nine songs for the album, so they were efficient, writing and recording roughly a song a day. "Last Night" was one of the first tracks they came up with, putting it together by throwing out ideas and making sure not to overthink it. This is obvious in the lyrics, where they rhyme like pre-schoolers: She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all
• The song tells the story of a very memorable night when our hero meets a lithesome lady at a bar and earns an invitation to her room. It all goes according to plan until he asks her to marry him, perhaps in jest. She pulls out a knife and robs him. The story ends with the singer back in the bar, telling his tale. At least he got a song out of it.
• Tom Petty sang the verses on this one, with Roy Orbison taking the chorus. According to Petty, when the Wilburys wrote a song, they would each try singing lead and George Harrison would decide who sounded best.
• Session man Jim Keltner played drums on the album and came up with opening clangs, which sound like he's banging on kitchen items with a drumsticks. That's because he was. They recorded at the home studio belonging to Dave Stewart of Eurythmics. The studio itself was very small, so they did a lot of recording in his kitchen, where Keltner improvised. Keltner, who also played on George Harrison's Living In The Material World album, wasn't a Wilbury, but did his own band name: Buster Sidebury.

The Traveling Wilburys

Follow 3 fans

The Traveling Wilburys were a British-American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Originating from an idea discussed by Harrison and Lynne during the sessions for Harrison's 1987 album Cloud Nine, the band formed in April 1988 after the five members united to record a bonus track for Harrison's next European single. When this collaboration, "Handle with Care", was deemed too good for such a limited release, the group agreed to record a full album, titled Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1. Following Orbison's death in December 1988, the Wilburys continued as a quartet and released a second album, titled Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3, in 1990. The project's work received much anticipation given the diverse nature of … more »
