Big Ears Wrote:From the documentaries I've seen, George Harrison was the catalyst for the Wilbury's, after all who wouldn't want to work with a Beatle? Jeff Lynne made the music cohesive. Everyone wanted Roy Orbison as lead singer and were amazed when he agreed! more good things about them was that they refocused Bob Dylan and Tom Petty did his best work for them.
Excellent summation and "catalyst" is the right word--"something that effects major changes without itself being altered". Wanna hear more from Big Ears, yes, indeed.

George's last album Brainwashed! Released posthumously in 2002 year after he passed on. Perhaps he has seen Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds!
Accompanying George was son Dhani, Jeff Lynne and Jim Keltner. The percussionist virtuoso Ray Parker appears on a few tracks with Jon Lord on one! The track I am posting is breathtakingly gorgeous! Passionate slide guitar!
I truly miss him!

Love that clip. Great to see Carl Perkins jammin'...and who knew Reg Dwight could play R&R piano? To see Mccartney truly in his element, here's 2 DVDs--at the Cavern Club (Liverpool):
