This is the real Fleetwood Mac .You really need to investigate them more .Total class.

Man, you need to hear "The Green Manalishi" by the same lineup. This was an excellent choice and reaction.

Thanks for this reaction. Peter Green also wrote “Black Magic Woman” which was successfully covered by Carlos Santana. RIP Peter.

I love all stages of Fleetwood Mac. They are a band that went through so many metamorphosis. And each version of the band has something different, special, and unique to offer. 😁

The combo of part 1 and part 2 make for one of the best listening experiences.

At times during the 60's Fleetwood Mac actually outsold The Beatles, songs like Shake Your Money Maker, Black Magic Woman, Need Your Love So Bad, Rattle Snake Shake, The Green Manalishi and the incomparable instrumental Albatros also Oh Well pt2 is also instrumental and quite futuristic for the time almost prog

Been waiting for someone to stumble across this one. I was born in ‘57 and heard this as a young kid, but was years later before I found out it was Fleetwood Mac. Was quite surprised to hear that, as Fleetwood had made the big change by then and became very popular. Great tune and can see the influence on the other songs.

Fun facts: One of the most iconic Guitar Riffs on his legendary "Greeny" Gibson Les Paul. Peter sold it to Gary Moore for $150.00 , next Gary sold it to Kirk Hammett from Metallica for $2 million!

After hearing songs from the Rumours album on the radio, I decided I needed a Fleetwood Mac album for my record collection. Imagine my surprise when playing the record and I heard Peter Green's vocals and realized that it was an awesome blues album!

One of my favorite rock songs of all time!!

It's interesting to hear how the band sounded before Lindsey and Stevie joined.

The live versions of this song is more primal and heavy. "Green Manalishi" live is a must hear

The Green Manalishi, Man Of The World, Alnatross - all different. As for the outro - you need to listen to part two. 'nuff said. Great reaction btw

Although I love the present line up of FM, I love Peter Greens FM more. He was born to play and sing blues rock. It was so sad that he became unwell. An amazingly talented man with the voice of an angel.

Should definitely check out the 2.0 version of Fleetwood Mac - also before Stevie and Lindsay - Hypnotized is the popular track.

"Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to." I love that!

Fleetwood Mac is effectively two bands; the original led by founder Peter Green - which you just listened to - and the continuation after Peter Green left. When they then added Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham to the line-up it became the popular powerhouse most people love, me included. But Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac was special and often preferred by discerning music enthusiasts.

Just one name, Danny Kirwan, a beautiful soul and great talent.

The REAL Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green.

This is the original Fleetwood Mac. A huge blues band both in the UK and America. A blues legend such as B.B.King said that of all the guitarists of the British blues boom to come to America that Peter Green was the only player that he was worried about and that he thought had the chops of an original blues musician... CANNOT GET BETTER THAN THAT. Oh yes.... Mick Fleetwood and John McVie are the two original members left... Peter Green named the band after them...!!! Hence Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green, started as a great Blues Band. Great music. I can also recommend Part 2 from Oh well. I remember we had that single. Greetings from the Netherlands. 🎶🎶🎶👍

Green Manalishi next 👍

I saw Fleetwood Mac perform this in concert in 1969.

This is the best version of Fleetwood Mac imo........can't say I really like anything after Green left......totally different band.

This is my favourite Fleetwood Mac era.

Please do “Hypnotized” from 1973. It’s one of my favorite songs by any band!!🩵 This was before Stevie & Lindsey joined the band in 1975.

Definitely have to finish this off with Part 2!! Indeed, musically 'unique' for casual Fleetwood Mac listeners, but their early years were full of interesting nuggets like this!

Oh, yeah! The original Fleetwood Mac! Love this, loved Peter Greene, I'd suggest check out Black Magic Woman from this version of the band. This original version of Fleetwood Mac featuring Peter Greene, and the 2.0 version featuring Bob Welch and Danny Kirwan and adding Christine McVie are my favorite versions of the band. The version 3.0 of the band with Buckingham/Nicks added, is my least favorite version of the band, though they were the pop monsters. For a good example of what Fleetwood Mac 2.0 sounded like, I'd recommend the song called Hypnotized, or the song called Bare Trees...maybe the song called Sentimental Lady, which Bob Welch later re-recorded as a solo artist and had a hit with after leaving the band.

This was the real Fleetwood Mac, the original band that Mick Fleetwood and John McVie said much later was the one they loved most due to their love of the music, and playing with the great Peter Green. Most people know the 3rd version of the band as the real Fleetwood Mac, especially from the Rumours album onwards, and they also were, but the blues had gone into a classic pop/rock format that captivated the world. Loved them, although they were like two different bands.

What a bangin riff!! Loved Peter Green. 😊

I love this song!! Great Peter Green song. One of the best rock n roll songs ever!

Mysterious sounding at the end. Yes, do part two. ❤

Salvo, give their "Hypnotized" a listen. As a Geezer, Ive seen every itineration of Fleetwood Mac since they formed originally as a blues band. The last version with Lindsey Buckingham was the more Pop version and the lineup most know as fleetwood mac. .

Some Fleetwood Mac suggestions (featuring (Peter Green): Black Magic Woman, Need Your Love So Bad, The Green Manalishi, Albatross. Their studio album 'Then Play On' is a classic. As far as live recordings are concerned, their 'Fleetwod Mac - Live in Boston 1970' (HDCD Remastered Full HQ) is simply mind blowing. Over 3 hours of Peter Green and the band playing at their peak, simply brilliant. Another recording worth checking out is 'The Supernatural,' written by Green when he was playing lead guitar in 'John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers' (1967). Enjoy!

That multi CD "50 Years - Don't Stop" is fantastic and covers a very wide range of Fleetwood Mac sound(s).

I first heard this late night in car begining of a thunderstorm in Texas. I sat in my car mezzmerized for the whole long set of this song and the lyics rocked and stuck with me my whole life. Oh Well....lol

you have to see the live version of this the bandat the time wa sPeer Greens Fleetwod Mac

I saw the original Mac when they played our blues club. In Peter Green they had arguably the best blues guitarist---and he could sing too. But credit also to the other members. Mick Fleetwood was a superb drummer. I once had the pleasure/honour of playing bass next to him and I can tell you his "double shuffle" is something to behold.

You need to listen to the live version of “Got a good mind to give up living” often regarded as containing the finest blues solo ever recorded. Peter Green was something else. I saw him with Fleetwood Mac several times in the 1960s and he was remarkable.

The best iteration of Fleetwood Mac. Peter Greene's FWM

Early FM had a very, very different sound before Stevie & Lindsey joined them in 1974.

That last part, I call that the reach-around. It's absolutely epic.

This spoke to me as a teenager so much I have the lyrics on my wall!

Thanks for sharing this reaction, good stuff

Hi Salvo missed you this is sooo rocking!!!! 😜😜😜

Danny Kirwan plays lead on this one. PG singing and rhythm guitar.

My favorite Fleetwood Mac era.

I heard Brian Johnson (AC/DC) hosting a radio show one time, and he recommended the live version from St. Louis on his show.

You don't hear early Fleetwood Mac much since Christine and Stevie joined the band. I think I'm so familiar with the Aerosmith cover that I didn't realize it was a cover.

This was the one old-school song that remained a concert staple, in Lindsey's day. Peter Green also wrote Black Magic Woman, but Santana scored a much bigger hit with it, than Green did. Another song that was bigger after its Fleetwood Mac release was Sentimental Lady, by Bob Welch. It was a minor hit on FM's 1972 Bare Trees album, but it did much better when Welch re-recorded it and released it as a single, in 1977. In truth, though, you might say is was another Fleetwood Mac version. Mick, Christine, and Lindsey all perform on the newer recording, and Lindsey did the arranging.

The live version is awesome!

You basically heard the first minute or so of Part 2 thar fades out at the end. It's basically a long intrumental outro to Part 1. So many great songs from this era: Need Your Love So Bad, Love That Burns, Green Manalishi, Man of the World. Thanks for reacting to PG. Too many just focus on the more famous version of the Mac.

"Man of the world" is another great one.

Love catching people hearing Peter for the first time!! And , Hehe you heard both parts!! The Goat, The Green God, The Maestro… the best of Fleetwood Mac. In three years, he did so much with the Mac ( his band that he gave up😢) And as Blue Horizon’s studio band, playing on friends albums, & earlier with BluesBreakers! Check out: The Supernatural ( Blues Breakers) His cover of Jumping at Shadows ( live) I could go on and on 💚💚💚💚💚💚

Og Fleetwood. I loves this Soo much!!

One of the coolest songs ever to be performed!! Oh Well!!

Have loved them for so many years Was fortunate enough to see them live and to Stevie live on her own

Then you add the Folk Country sound to Fleetwood through Stevie Nick, Christie McVie, & Lindsay Buckingham you get the sounds of the 70's Fleetwood Mac! Amazing!

The stop/starts in 'Oh, well' became the inspiration for the breaks in Led Zeppelin's 'Black dog'. It's just got to be 'The green manalishi' next if you want more of the rock side of early Mac. Peter Green also wrote some beautiful ballads like 'Man of the world', and cool Blues grooves such as 'Black magic woman' (later covered by Santana)

The "Spaghetti Western" ending is unexpected but beautiful. I was lucky enough to see Peter Green when he made his comeback in the mid nineties (I think). He hadn't lost any of that talent.

If you want heavy, go for 'The Green Manalishi', but for sheer class, look no further than 'Black Magic Woman', 'Man Of The World' and 'Albatross'.

Maybe next you could react to HYPNOTIZED. The lead singer at the time was Bob Welch, who preceeded Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Also, from the Peter Green era, the song LAST NIGHT is worth a listen. Enjoy

Oh well part 2 follows naturally directly after part 1 - surprisingly... (The Haim sisters has made a live cover of part 1)

FM also had a guitarist named Danny Kirwan, who's best work was on the Bare Trees album. Any song from that album is worth a listen.

The original Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac.

you almost have to think of them as 2 bands...1 pre-rumours and 1 post-rumours. for me, the post rumours fleetwood mac is one of the best bands ever.

They have quite a few pre Lindsey, Stevie albums featuring , at times, not only Peter Green, but Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch. Great albums, like Bare Trees and Kiln House. Oh. And you gotta do part 2. You kiddin me?

Both parts (Part 1 and Part 2) should always be listened to together. It is one song that was separated into two to support the 3-minute single format.

The OG Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green's FM doesn't get enough recognition anymore... People focus on Rumours era FM, so thanks for doing this one.

The Rockets did a fantastic cover of this.

My bestie's husband is ALLLLLLL into Peter Green-era FM.

Peter Green was a genius, voice and guitar. Albatross is a masterpiece.

Like many others have commented, you really need to hear "The Green Manalishi." The history of Fleetwood Mac has many highs and lows, with Peter Green probably being the most tragic figure of all, but the man was insanely gifted and we're very fortunate he decided to form such an iconic band.

Hi! ❤ ok, I already know Fleetwood Mac fans are going to eat me up! I believe that when Peter Green was leaving the band one of the band members saw Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. They approached Lindsay about joining as lead guitarist. He said that Stevie was part of the package if he agreed. And history was made!! ❤ If you want to also check out Lindsay and Stevie before they joined Fleetwood Mac I think you would Love the song, "Crystal" from their BUCKINGHAM NICKS album!! It's gorgeous! I would put it with Landslide and Silver Springs!! GOOSIES! 😊❤

Our band used to do this...........big fun.

The end of the song sounds like it's entering into a spaghetti western

Now THIS is Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetwood Mac with Attitude!! Love It!❤

you need part 2 as well

HYPNOTIZED

This is the real Fleetwood Mac. Try out a cover version with the American band Haim. At Glastonbury live in 2014. A very good performance.

The Peter Green era doesn’t get enough love imo. Much as I love Mk2 of FM,I much prefer the early bluesy stuff. Same for The Doobies,same for Chicago etc.

I have heard that the slow instrumental part is supposed to represent Christ's painful walk to the Cross .... Peter struggled with his faith throughout much of his adult life ...... he then went mad for a spell ... he finally found redemption, but he was never the same again ...

As great as this is, as successful as the Buckingham/Nicks days are, my personal favorite time was in-between, the "Bridge Period". (The five albums from 1971-1974 with Bob Welch on guitar.) The blend of musical styles from Welch and Christine McVie and (at first) Danny Kirwan (who's playing the second guitar here and left during the struggling years that followed) is just exquisite, IMO, Listen to "Morning Rain" or "Sometimes" or "Future Games" (all from that lineup's first album together) for an idea of the talent on display. (ETA: I see that you have hit "Hypnotized" already, so you're one step ahead of most reactors.) Mick Fleetwood, of course, pretty much hated all the chaos. They'd been superstars and now they were nothing. (Early on, Mick went 2 years without having a date, which Peter Green teased him about in "Rattlesnake Shake". Then the hits came, and suddenly Mick was married to Jenny Boyd, younger sister of Patti Boyd Harrison, Eric Clapton's famous "Layla".) Two years of being the Big Thing and now England didn't want to hear Peter Green's band with no Peter Green. So when Lindsey and Stevie made them stars again, Mick couldn't wait to forget the years in between. Which depresses me a bit, as Danny and Christine and Bob (and Bob Weston, who is a whole other story) are all dead now. I only hope their music lives on. But yes, much Peter Green wonderful work to hit, as well. Pete loved instrumentals, my favorite of those is "World in Harmony".

Have you heard the original Black Magic Woman from early Fleetwood Mac? Some raw Bluesy rock on their first album as well.

One of my favorite FM songs - Joe Jackson and The Rockets have both done great covers of this as well.

He mentioned Landslide. That isn´t Fleetwood Mac.....that is Mick Fleetwood and friends

Wished you went on to part 2.

Sooo MUCH TO LEARN........ I'm delighted for YOU, that you've discovered the original FLEETWOOD MAC, Founder : PETER GREEN - with DANNY KIRWAN & JEREMY SPENCER. Go and enjoy !!!!!

Green was touched. On one biography someone said he could barely play, a year before he joined the Bluesbreakers. How does that happen? I don't think there has ever been a story that equated genius and madness as well as the Peter Green story.

Yes, there was an earlier iteration of Fleetwood Mac that many people don't know about... and they kicked @ss.

I have the 45. Part 1 is on the A side and Part 2 is on the B side.

Best peter Green era song or least my favorite from his era

This is the single edit of Oh Well, Part 1, with the beginning of Part 2 tacked on and fading out. Part 2 is a lot more of that moody part. Like nearly everyone else, I recommend The Green Manalishi, and again the studio version - there are some great live versions (including one with Lindsey and Stevie - actually 2, but the 10/17/75 Capitol Theatre video is the better performance), but only the studio version has what a bandmate referred to as Peter Green's "unearthly howls" over the coda. Bone-chilling stuff, and if "Oh Well, Part 1" is the peak of Green as a bluesman, "The Green Manalishi" is his psychedlic rock peak. And they were the last things he did with the band before leaving. That whole last album that he's on, "Then Play On", is great. And for pure blues, the debut album is fantastic (the 2nd one, not as much).

The old, original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green, Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer, is the BEST! Other songs I think you'd like are "Black Magic Woman", "Rattlesnake Shake", "Underway" and "Albatross." Albums "Then Play On", blues heavy "Fleetwood Mac", "Mr. Wonderful" and "Pious Bird of Good Omen." Also, Bare Trees, Future Games and Kiln House. After Peter, Danny and Jeremy left, things began to change. The two constants are Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, whom the band is named after.

Definitely check out more Peter Green & Fleetwood Mac "The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)", "Need Your Love So Bad", "Black Magic Woman" (Santana's version was a cover of this) & "Rattlesnake Shake" would be good songs to get started with.

Black Magic Woman

Peter Greene was the founding member of Fleetwood Mac. You should listen to Black Magic Woman, Green Manalishi and Albatross ( probably their biggest early hit)

This pairs off pretty well thematically with a song by Mose Allison called I'm Not Talkin'. Mose first released it in 1964. The Yardbirds covered it in '65 and it became a hit. But i still prefer Mose's original version. It's worth a reaction: I'm Not Talkin' Mose Allison. It's on YT.

One correction: Danny Kirwan played the lead guitar on "Oh Well (Pt. 1)", not Peter.
