Whether it's this 1969 original or the Rockets's 1979 one (which I have and somewhat prefer like Reed from Sterling Heights and Jeff from Concorn here myself). Steve from Whittier, CaListening to the second part.I should add that as much as I love Oh Well, I'm having a bit of a problem figuring out the whole meaning.:) Steve from Whittier, CaPS I meant figure out in my last comment.I personally can't compare him to anyone else when it comes to his work. He actually burst out in glee & laughter with the love of his craft. But seeing films of Green playing this back in the day are priceless. Credit due where it's due, whatever version you like. I think it's amazing such central rock songs originated from one band in just a couple of years to heavily influence rock music forever. Sometimes we like the covers better due to personal taste or simply because we are used to them. Like "the Green Manalishi", "Black Magic Woman, and of course, "Oh Well". Not only did these songs chart, several songs went on to inspire mammoth rock hits known immediately within the first few notes to all generations. I wish that info at the top would be corrected, instead of giving all the FM glory to the 1974 and later line up. They began charting with the instrumental "Albatross" in 1968, as Chris in MA explains. In the UK, they outsold the Beattles AND the Stones in `1969.

Anna from Seattle, WaThank you those of you who corrected the "fact" that "Oh Well" was Peter Green's "onl y" Fleetwood Mac song that "ever charted".bad acid.at a commune in Munich in 1970 which reportedly spelled out the end for his music career according to the other FM members at the time).the whole sequence and causation depends on whose opinion you're getting of course. Many believe that was probably exaberated or brought out fully from being a mere genetic vulnerability to full-blown psychosis by the over use of acid & mescaline (along with being dosed with "bad junk".i.e. His religious beliefs/obsession were beginging to converge with with his mental illness at that time reportedly.

(It's a BBC Series called "Peter Green, Man of the World", and it's available in it's entirety on Youtube) He said the first version is to attract the listener's attention so they will be receptive to the second verse when he mentions "God".
