The Traveling Wilburys are coming! The Traveling Wilburys are coming! Well, actually they're HERE as of October 29th, 1990 and the release of The Traveling Wilburys vol3 -- the highly anticipated follow-up to the super-group's hit debut record. Despite the shift in decade and the fallen Roy Orbison, the project begun by George Harrison had another hit on their hands with this latest release - successful in both album and singles charts alike. Cuts like Wilbury Twist, Last Night and She's My Baby offered a dose of vitality for the genre of rock'n'roll amidst a crowded marketplace of new sounds that would have been largely unrecognizable a scant decade prior. More importantly, this was new George Harrison music in the 1990s...a signal for more on the horizon? Or perhaps a last burst of excitement... Hosted on Acast.

Beatles ’90 pt5
Summer 1990 brought an increasingly unusual sight for fans in an ever-evolving post-Beatles world: the release of two new singles by two former Beatles respectively. First up was George Harrison, back in the studio with the Traveling Wilburys to release the charity single Nobody's Child. The release, in aid of Romanian orphans spearheaded by George's wife Olivia, signaled the beginning of new music from the supergroup - and the first new music from George in the new decade. Paul McCartney was next with the single release of Birthday - cut live during his smash-hit world tour and taken from the incoming album chronicling those live performances. Two new singles followed by two new albums from Paul and George as we enter fall 1990... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Beatles ’90 pt3
As the lumpy trousers continued their march across the world in the spring of 1990, another Beatles live experience arrived on the shores of Liverpool just in time for a special anniversary.

Beatles ’90 pt2
In the latter days of February 1990, Paul McCartney reached several key milestones on his return to the road - first up a lifetime achievement award at the 32nd annual Grammy Awards! This recognition of Macca's solo efforts in particular reached Paul at a career high, as his world tour set its sights on the second major moment of that month - a triumphant return to Japan. A decade after his infamous drug bust, The Paul McCartney World Tour successfully reached the stage of the Tokyo Dome to rock the country that had been so bitterly robbed of the final Wings tour. And while the early months of the new decade were dominated by Paul and co, another former Beatle was preparing new music as well... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
