    I grew up in Michigan and I used to hear this song on the radio all the time when I was a kid. When I moved to Arizona, I was about 24, and I'd hear "Oh Well" on the radio from time to time. But it never sounded right to me. That's because, around here, they always play the Fleetwood Mac version. They never play this far-superior version by the Rockets. The Rockets' rendition is the definitive version of this song, IMO.

      It is inferior compared to original of Fleewood Mac.They skipped solo of original and substituted it with some crap noise. Kids like you can't tell difference between noisy crap and music. Judas Priest's version is not perfect but much better than this faulted attempt of Rockets.

    I used to manage a Clark gas station in Union Lake and Dave and brother Mark used to pop in all the time. Once while fishing a local lake I found 3 of the Rockets in a boat and they had been up partying all night...lol. It was a hoot.

    I knew Jim McCarty back in '81. Truly a great guitar player. He lived nearby, and stopped by my place for my 30th b'day party. We jammed a bit. He told me he was once at a music industry party in L.A., and some kid comes up to him and says, "Jim, you're great, your a big influence on me". So he says to the kid, who are you? So the kid answers, "I'm Eddie Van Halen!"

    Being a youngster at the time and excited about seeing Kiss at the Philadelphia Spectrum, I had no idea the band from Detroit, The Rockets would become one of my favorites as my family moved to the motor city in the fall of 1978. I know I am not the first and won't be the last to say, they took "Oh Well" and seasoned it, where it was meant to be and than Fleetwood Mac re-releases it to go one up and in my opinion, they stood no chance as it sucked in comparison to Dave, Jim's and Johnny's version.. Rockets did just what they always did, they rocked it, truly one of Detroits Greatest Rock Bands!

      Unfortunately the singer here (Dave Gilbert) has been gone for many years now.
      There was a project a few years back here in Detroit that reunited McCarty and Badanjek, called The Helldrivers.
      They did a bunch of their classic material (Rockets, Detroit Wheels) along with some other great cover songs. They were inspired to do it by a very talented local singer (Jim Edwards), who was the only guy they'd run across (according to what McCarty told me) who could live up to Dave Gilbert's legacy. That's saying a lot.
      I don't know for sure, but would be surprised if there wasn't some footage of shows they did around in the Detroit club scene out here on YT...?

Was sad that Dave wrecked himself living the rockstar lifestyle. That guy was an awesome singer. If you can find "Somethin' Ain't Right", you get a true sense of how good he was.

    One of the only bands that could do that song justice other than Peter Greens' Fleetwood Mac. Left a mark on me when I was young just like some other select Detroit Bands.

      Bruce Bodenhofer IMHO, their version is much better than Fleetwood Mac's. The song lends itself to a hard rocking edge that Fleetwood Mac just didn't have.

      Fleetwood Mac was in their BLUES phase at that time because of Peter Green . It was always one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac incarnations.

    This song still rocks! Amazed I never heard any other hits from them. One hit wonders? Singer reminds me if Dave Mustaine.

      That's funny...he reminds me much more of Mitch Ryder, the guy McCarty and Badanjek started out with in the 60s

    Okay, first time I am seeing the band that opened for MY GODS: KISS. Had no idea what to expect, glad to see my boys give these dudes some help. Love the opening riff. Hope they were not treated to rudely by The Army ....... KISS ARMY that is.

      There’s a lot more longevity possible in country music than there is in rock and roll. He made a smart transition.

    I've always felt the Rockets hit Oh Well on the nose. Maybe I'm a bit biased jammin' with Jeff (MIck Ives & the 222's) nearly next door to Dave Gilbert's place (Union Lake)
    in the late '70's.
