Summary: Nice, but...
Comment: I know this set doesn't claim to be complete but why all the missing songs and videos?
I know of a Traveling Wilburys bootleg that is album length and full of demos and cover versions they could of taken from, perhaps on a fourth disc. Not to mention the B-Sides and extended songs.
But my real complaint is the cropped video. Why must they chop off everyones heads just to fill up your entire screen (1.78:1 new standard of course over the original 1.33:1). Anyone who knows anything about how a DVD's anamorphic widescreen works can tell you how it can better fill your widescreen tv, but in this case you're losing information on the top or bottom (or top AND bottom) of your screen. They do this to all the videos and the documentary. I'm shocked no one else has problem with this or has even noticed for that matter.
Back to what they 'left off': the Nobody's Child video. Hello!!?? What an oversight! But the most obvious piece they made that was left off this set is the original Wilbury Twist video. Presented here is the '2007 version', which is fine. But we catch a glimpse of John Candy and Eric Idle at the beginning of that version and wonder where they went. A quick visit to youtube and you can see the whole thing (while there you can see a bunch of other appearances the Wilbury members made around the 1988-1990 period and their inclusion is debateable as true Wilbury 'Canon' for inclusion here so I won't complain). Gone is Cheech Marin and Woody Harrelson as well as a bunch of other recognizable actors clowning around. What is then missing is a very valuable part of the spirit of this band, how much fun they are and how fun their music can be.
I ought to give this set only two stars for the glaring omissions and edited footage but the music itself is so good I can't give it less than three. In a world where people accept greatest hits albums over complete box sets (where your dollar spent on a particular band could be considered final) we allow these companies to make more and more of the same thing hoping that the next set will be just a little bit closer to being complete. So please when something is not 'complete' as it ought to be feel free to express it in places like this or even better to the record companies themselves or we'll never get what we want.

Comment: The radio play stuff is as good as ever. The music I never heard is okay.

Summary: Riding Along With The Traveling Wilburys
Comment: I was so happy to be able to buy this Deluxe Edition set and for such a remarkably reasonable price!
Having the dvd is very special to me because of the late great Roy Orbison and George Harrison. Being able to watch them at work on some of their very last projects is, as they say, PRICELESS!
The rest of the band are also some of my all time favorite musicians. When they got together and became The Traveling Wilburys it was better than a dream come true because it was a dream I never even considered having.
So, I thank you Amazon.com for making the product available and quite affordable. I will enjoy these cd's for all the rest of my days!

Summary: Great Buy!
Comment: I had been interested in checking this band out for a while. I couldn't pass up on the ten dollar lightening deal when I saw it. Definitely a great listen. Haven't had a chance to watch the DVD yet, but the music more than makes the purchase worth it. If you like all the artists as individual acts, then you can't go wrong with this band. Really reminds me of the supergroup "The Highwaymen" in that every member meshes so well with one another, yet each one brings their own style to the table.
