according to jim keltner, the decision on the group's future after "vol. 3" lay with harrison. keltner said that from his conversations with lynne, petty and dylan, they were all keen to reunite, whereas harrison wavered in his enthusiasm. while harrison was against the idea of touring, petty recalled: "i kept getting down on my knees in front of george, saying, 'please, it's so much money!"









































after his 1991 tour of japan – his first series of concerts since 1974 – harrison spoke of a possible traveling wilburys tour:
traveling wilburys
in 1988, petty joined george harrison's group, the traveling wilburys, which also included bob dylan, roy orbison, and jeff lynne. the band's first song, "handle with care", was intended as a b-side of one of harrison's singles, but was judged too good for that purpose and the group decided to record a full album, "traveling wilburys vol. 1". a second wilburys album, mischievously titled "traveling wilburys vol. 3" and recorded without the recently deceased orbison, followed in 1990. the album was named "vol. 3" as a response to a series of bootlegged studio sessions being sold as "travelling wilburys vol. 2". petty incorporated traveling wilburys songs into his live shows, consistently playing "handle with care" in shows from 2003 to 2006, and for his 2008 tour adding "surprises" such as "end of the line" to the set list.
