George Harrison Had His Own Personal Bob Dylan Bootlegs Because He Was Fascinated ...
George Harrison was constantly amazed by Bob Dylan. Everything he did and said, especially how he wrote and recorded music. So, George took to recording Dylan whenever they were together. The ex-Beatle had his own personal Dylan bootlegs.
In a 2002 special edition of Rolling Stone called “Remembering George,” Tom Petty talked about what it was like being in a band with George and Dylan. Along with Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison, the trio formed The Traveling Wilburys in the late 1980s.
Petty said that George was fascinated by everything Dylan did, so George tended to film him.
“George quoted Bob like people quote Scripture,” Petty said. “Bob really adored George, too. George used to hang over the balcony videoing Bob while Bob wasn’t aware of it. Bob would be sitting at the piano playing, and George would tape it and listen to it all night.”
