Oh Well, Part 1 was never envisioned as a duet, but here it is, with Steven Tyler and Billy Gibbons trading lines like it's the most natural call-and-response in the world. Fleetwood will be joined this evening at the London Palladium by Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour, Jonny Lang, Andy Fairweather Low, John Mayall, Christine McVie, Zak Starkey, Steven Tyler, Bill Wyman, Noel Gallagher,Pete Townshend, Neil Finn, Kirk Hammett and many more. The show opened up spotlighting blues-era Fleetwood with "Rollin' Man" followed by a cover of "Homework" by Otis Rush. Gibbons joined in for a performance of Buster Brown's "Doctor Brown" and stayed to do another Rush number - "All Your Love." Fleetwood, who curated the list of artists performing, said: “The concert is a celebration of those early blues days where we all began, and it’s important to recognize the profound impact Peter and the early Fleetwood Mac had on the world of music. Peter was my greatest mentor and it gives me such joy to pay tribute to his incredible talent. I am honoured to be sharing the stage with some of the many artists Peter has inspired over the years and who share my great respect for this remarkable musician. ‘Then Play On’…” Green died on July 25th. “No one has ever stepped into the ranks of Fleetwood Mac without a reverence for Peter Green and his talent,” Fleetwood said, “and to the fact that music should shine bright and always be delivered with uncompromising passion!!!”

On February 25, 2020, days before the first case of COVID-19 was discovered in the UK, a very special concert took place at the legendary Palladium in London celebrating the songs of Peter Green and the original incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. This show also now takes on a particularly poignant meaning, with the unfortunate passing of Peter Green in July 2020. His slide guitar is pure, his voice aches, Fleetwood seems genuinely moved. And standing on stage left, holding down the bottom end with nonchalant aplomb, is the one and only Bill Wyman. History unfolding before our very eyes. 4. Albatross (David Gilmour)

It's trademark Gilmour throughout, transporting the original's rather dour classical facade to somewhere entirely, well, Floydian. He solos, that guitar soars, that sublime tone fills the room, and there's magic in the air. You can take the man out of Pink Floyd, but you can't take Pink Floyd out of the man. 1. Oh Well, Part 1 (Billy Gibbons, Steven Tyler)

The set ended with an all-star version of Elmore James’ Shake Your Moneymaker, which Fleetwood Mac covered on their self-titled 1968 debut album. He's actually playing Peter Green's original Les Paul, the fabled ' Greeny', the guitar the song was written on. It's a guitar that was later owned by Gary Moore and subsequently bought by Hammett for a reported two million dollars. Again: actual history, right here. 2. Oh Well, Part 2 (David Gilmour)
