Been listening to Frank since 1975. Sadly not as well known outside guitar circles as he deserves. He and Alvin Lee were two outstanding but under appreciated blues players that only briefly glimpsed the spotlight.
Kudos to the camera operators and director/editor. Almost a perfect job. They understood Frank was what everyone came to see and, in particular, his soloing. Except for the closing solo, in which for some insane reason they focused on his face, they stayed focused on Franks hands during the solos. That is rare for a video from that (or any) era. 👍
I was listening to the Mahogany Rush Live album in 1978 (18 yrsold) when few people heard of Frank Marino. Then in 1979, My first concert was The Pocono Jams. Frank Marino started the all day gig,with Edgar Winter,Papa John Creech, And others with Blackfoot and Ted Nugent as the headliner
I remember my Dad played this version for me like 15-20 years ago I think it was… Blew my fucking mind. I was obsessed with Jimi’s version when I was a teenager. Unpopular opinion, but I like this even more than the Hendrix one. There’s a “strength” or a “power” that I can’t describe to this version. Just the way Frank plays. Jimi was incredibly inventive, and sometimes the erraticism in his solos is what made him special. But the solo in particular with this one, every note is carefully planned. Or at least that’s how it “feels” when you listen to it. But it still somehow has a sense of spontaneity. I think that contrast is what I like so much about it.
I bought this on vinyl and cassette when it first came out in 1979 after hearing the Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live album when it first came out. We'd been listening to Hendrix for years and one day my buddy stopped me in the parking lot across from the high school we both went to. He said hey come listen to this. He had the Live album playing and needless to say we missed most of our classes that day. I saw Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush and Ted Nugent in the same concert a few years later. Great concert. Frank's style is different from Jimi's but in a good way.
I’m 65 and just discovered Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush a couple months ago when I heard “Its Begun to Rain” live from Agora theater. Absolutely blew me away….unbelievable vocals,lyrics, and guitar playing! Beautiful, haunting lyrics mixed with a guitar blending blues,jazz, and rock. One of the best songs I have ever heard in my lifetime. Got into the rest of his catalog of music and ….WOW! Did not get the credit,praise,and recognition Frank and the band deserved. Felt like I was robbed of his music for decades. His music will live on forever. Thank you Frank you your gift to the world!
That is f@#king epic ! Im no guitar expert, but I think that’s a Gibson SG ? It’s definitely not a Fender. The depth and complexity is incredible. Sounds better than Jimi !
Concert at the Spectrum in Montreal was the LOUDEST event I'd ever been to! As others have stated he was/is so underrated...

How can you take any serious guitar player who uses a SG to play JImi?
Outstanding cover!!! I’ve heard of Frank Marino over the years but haven’t checked him out closely. He clearly deserves great respect!
Robin Trower is another genius guitarist ✨✨✨✨🎸🎬✨✨✨
Cheers 🥂 👍
2024 That guitar tone still gives me goosebumps
RIP Jimmy Ayoub!

He can sing too...rough bluesy voice...but he was way more in key than Hendrix was...
I was lucky Cal Jam II Ontario Motor Speedway 1978 Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush the last act of the day! Phenomenal!
So blessed to have been to a Mahogany Rush concert at Winterland in SF
That is f@#king epic ! Im no guitar expert, but I think that’s a Gibson SG ? It’s definitely not a Fender. The depth and complexity is incredible. Sounds better than Jimi !
63. It still rings true. Badass mother's never die. We just burn out 😁👍👍
And still 2 this day his SG is screaming choke me 4 sounds
Genius. Hendrix reimagined.

STUNNING
Frank does a great job...a plug for Jeff Healey's live version... Man oh man these guys were so expressive 🎶✌🎶✌

Pretty sure this video was Down's opener in 2007/2008, and it beat most bands they could possibly bring for support.
Поражает гитара! Звук реально не из того времени. Даже не верится...Гитарист просто шикарен.
Should be internationally recognised but isn't...a genuine all time great..
I can't tell if it's phase shifting or just a really old VHS! (Either way, it's amazing!)
Well, once you've seen/heard enough of Frank's playing, you'll know 😉 Masterclass
Great band

Don't mess w/ Frank...chief...✌
Monster drumming

I saw him live around this time, with Judas Priest, Epic Night
