No, really...."Oh Well". This is the Peter Green, Danny Kirwin era of Fleetwood Mac (those under a certain age will not be familiar with this iteration of the band. Green and Kirwin were very talented, but Green went awry on drugs). Kirwin was on the "Future Games" album (among others) but did the classic "Sands of Time", still my favorite song by the Mac. There is no Stevie Nicks or Lindsey Buckingham around yet. Even John McVie was not always present, though he lent his name to the group.

Do I need to tell you to TURN IT UP!?


Here is "Oh, Well" in two versions...long (studio cut, includes Parts I & II...and part II is very mellow, great acoustic).

Second is live cut with just Part I (the rockin' bit).

I'd been looking for this forever. Long live Youtube!

Oh, Well...long version, parts I & II. Studio take.

Live version, just Part I, but you get to see the band. Playing is not as clean as studio, but his vocals are really crisp. Good voice.

And just for a bonus, Ascout's personal fave of the Danny Kirwin era, "Sands of Time". Some good memories there I tell ya' (but unwilling to go into details )

(the lead guitar is slow to develop, you won't even hear the motif until about 2:45 but comes on with some of the butteriest licks ever, and then gets better...be patient) By about 5:30 you will be captivated...

I had some thoroughly unwholesome experiences with young ladies to this tune.
