The Traveling Wilburys, the supergroup featuring George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne, formed in the late 1980s made a big mark on Pop culture and music. Their debut album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, became a critical and commercial success, eventually leading to a second volume (titled Vol. 3).

Now, over 35 years later, the “spirit of unity” typical of the band has been renewed by restoration work to their video for “End of the Line.” The work was done to original rushes via Craft Recordings.

Filmed in Los Angeles in December 1988, the video features the group performing on a moving passenger car pulled by a steam locomotive. It also serves as a poignant tribute to Roy Orbison, who passed away shortly before the shoot.

A touching homage to Orbison includes his guitar resting in a rocking chair alongside a framed photo, ensuring his presence remains central to the song’s legacy.
