Roy Orbison - 1988-08-10 - Austin, TX (SBD or Ex Aud)

In 1987, Roy Orbison began working on a new album with former ELO front man turned producer Jeff Lynne. At the same time Lynne was completing production work on George Harrison's Cloud Nine, and all three had lunch one day when Orbison accepted an invitation to sing on a song of Harrison's. They contacted Bob Dylan, who allowed them to use a recording studio in his home. Along the way, Harrison had to stop by Tom Petty's house to pick up his guitar. Petty and his band had juts backed Dylan on his last tour. By that evening, the group had written Handle with Care, which led to the idea of recording an entire album. They called themselves the Traveling Wilburys, representing themselves as half-brothers with the same father. The disc, which would be released the following year, sold over 2 million copies and spent 53 weeks on the Billboard charts, peaking at #3. This soundboard recording captures Orbison on tour at just about 3 mionths before the Wilbury's would hit it big, on August 10, 1988, 29 years ago today.
