Oh Well - Can someone help me out?

[Miss Vicky]

I was just watching the Tango video today and had forgotten just how great that version of "Oh Well" is and I'm hoping someone can (or already has) rip the audio of it for me and make it into an MP3.

I'd greatly appreciate it.

I've always felt that Billy did a much better job of the song than Lindsey. In fact, Billy's renditions are second only to Peter's original, in my eyes.

Hey Vicky,

I don't have the audio rip from the DVD, but I do have Oh Well from Salt Lake City, 11/28/87, and Gothenburg, Sweden, 10/28/88.

I agree with you, JS. I also think that Lindsey's early versions of Oh Well were much better than his later ones.

[Miss Vicky]

Thank you guys so much!!

I assume you mean singing it?

[Johnny Stew]

I assume you mean singing it?Wait... Billy was the singer? I thought he was the bug-eyed dude playing the drums. You know, the one who looks like Animal from the Muppets?
God, now I'm all confused!

Yeah, I meant singing it. ;) I felt he put more "oomph" into it than Lindsey.

[Sahara]

I really love the Tango version of Oh Well too, but I don't really know the original one that well.
I think Billy does a great job.

[SteveMacD]

This is going to piss off a few, but I think Billy did the song the best (alone, BTW), followed by Bob (who really did a lot of interesting things with the Green material), then a tie between Lindsey and Peter.

[chiliD]

...then a tie between Lindsey and Peter.

May the fleas of a million camels invade your armpits for lumping those two together. Here I was, pretty much agreeing with you up to that point. C'mon, Steve-o, Lindsey plays (uh...PLAYED, past tense) "Oh Well" as if he was reading the guitar part off of tablature for the first time (and with his fingers taped together).

You can't blame me for being confused because half of the respondents are talking about the vocals & the other half are talking about the guitar work.

(did Billy even play the damn song in '87? I thought it was Rick)

Yes, Billy played "the riff" WITH Rick and then rhythm guitar the rest of the song.

Billy did a great job!

Well all I can say is it took two guitarists to try and replace Lindsey and as we all know that failed! So I rest my case :))))

Due in large part to the fact that hardcore Rumours-era fanatics aren't the most open minded people and don't like change.

I used to be one of those people, but these days I find that I prefer Burnette to Buckingham. He's a superior lyricist and is FAR more prolific in terms of actually getting material RELEASED.

Last Billy Burnette solo album: 2006
Last Lindsey Buckingham solo album: 1992 :eek:

And, of course, both Time and Behind the Mask rank higher on my list than Rumours.

I still love me some Lindsey, but he's not the be-all end-all of Fleetwood Mac guitarists and neither is Peter Green.

Well, I think Lindsey's FINALLY realized that most of the record buying public doesn't give a sh*t. That's why he rejoined FM! He's got four people to support now.

Interesting Billy sidenote- I was listening to a country CD, by a newcomer named Jedd Hughes, last night, and perused the liner notes, and discovered that Billy co-wrote one of the songs with Jedd, "High Lonesome".

Funny thing, though, "Out Of The Cradle" sold about as many copies as "Time" and "Say You Will" sold about as many copies as "Behind The Mask."

[SteveMacD]

I can't really agree with the Peter Green comment. Consider that it was less than three and a half years from the release of "A Hard Road" to his leaving Fleetwood Mac, and yet he's still considered not just one of Fleetwood Mac's best guitarists, but one of the best guitarists from the '60s (which had a bunch of great guitarists). Sure, other guitarists brought in their own style. Peter set the bar, and nobody else has been able to raise it.

"Failed"? HA! Your case has more holes than a block of Swiss cheese.

Top grossing tours of 1987 & 1990, Behind The Mask was the #1 album in the UK in 1990. Sure, "failed". Take out the earplugs and LISTEN.

And, exactly HOW many guitarists were on the OotC tour? Oh, yeah, FIVE. Obviously, Lindsey couldn't cut it on his own.

Oh, yeah. It also took two people to "replace" Bob Welch, too. Go buy another copy of Rumours and leave me alone.

Steve you need to put this post as your sig dude. You've had to answer it more times than I've had to say I'm a single male Ledgie and I'm not gay.. :lol:

I'd agree with that. Although Danny played his fair share of lead and there are times in the live recordings when I can't seperate them, they became a singular entity on some of those jams.

Peter was a visionary and thats the difference. The others are great guitarists.
