Bummer
With sorrow I am forced to announce my immediate retirement from touring, and possibly all things related to continuing my career, due to an unexpected and debilitating medical condition which makes it impossible for me to tour. I want to thank all the people who supported me all of the last half-century. I know that many were looking forward to seeing us play this fall and I was looking forward to getting out again and doing more shows, but it now appears that in the absence of a miraculous recovery, my Concert DVD (Live at the Agora) will constitute the last show I will ever have played. I ask any that are believers to include me in their prayers. - Frank Marino
It has been done
Godspeed on the recovery Frank.
Frank Marino is one of my all-time favorites, I saw him live once, and it was the best live performance I have ever seen.
so cool Brezze
the coolest of all time..to come
I'm not sure if you'll see this, Frank, but we're all still praying and pulling for you. I haven't found any information stating that you are back out touring after your diagnosis and retirement announcement, but I hope that you are able to continue your art. As a fan, thank you for all of the amazing records and performances. As a fellow musician, I wanted to say thank you for setting the bar so high, and being such an inspiration to myself and millions of others around the world. You pushed us all to be better just by releasing the music you did. One of the greatest improvisers to ever pick up the instrument! Here's to you, Mr. Frank Marino! 🍻
One of the best songs ever written
@Sinful Bastard Child just my opinion... best song FRANK has written, to be succinct..
I'm not praying. Thats witch craft. But I will smoke a bowl or have a drink. Lift my cup to most awesome guitarist.
@@ozoneswiftak I don't pray either. It's just a common quote. You put a little too much thought into it lol.
One Great Song!!!!
I challenge any shredder to play like this and sing. FAST SCALE RUNS MEAN NOTHING. Soul is what makes music great.
Soul is indeed what makes music great, but fast scale runs mean a bit more than NOTHING.
[EDIT: I should add that if you told a concert violinist or pianist that fast scale runs meant nothing as they prepared to perform Paganini or Chopin, they'd look at you as if you were a complete idiot - which, in that case at least, would be entirely justified.]
It's good to have the skill of anything you would like to do on the guitar. Fast runs have a place and are fun... if you can do them. They can be very melodic and soulful. Getting there is another story.
Frank Marino is one of the best guitar players around. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves !!
NOT AT ALL!
Frank Marino doesn't get recognition? Are you flippin' serious?!
I've certainly recognized it brother!
My first time listening and I AM IMPRESSED!
Why doesn't he get the recognition?
All i can say is thank God for Frank Marino. Growing up in the 70's i was lucky to see Frank a few times, once at Madison Square Garden opening up for Kansas, another time with Aerosmith, and once with Pat Travers. Not only is his feel incredible and playing inspirational, but vocals are out of this world. Hopefully God will shine down on you Frank, and we will see or hear you play again !!!!
I'm so greatful that this music is still around. Makes remember why I'm still here. 63 and I'm still fucking young. 👍👍🎇🎆😁
This song is like warm blanket on a cold day..
greatest musician of our time. 48 years a fan.
You know it!
To stumble upon this in late 2023 confirms there are gems to still be found...I have the rest of my life to enjoy this...What a gift!!!
Word in 70s was Grank was just a regular guy, not a player at all. Took an acid trip and came back pla GG ing like this full blown. Course, i always took it with a grain of salt. But
Love the transition from sweet sad blues to optimistic jazz improv. I am an older guy and have loved Frank's music for years.
If those jazz riffs don't give you goosebumps nothing will. Masterclass!
This is SPECTACULAR !!! 😃
Frank sure knows how to incorporate cool Jazz lines within his Blues/Rock playing.
I love the way this particular SG (w/3 single-coil pickups) sounds just like a Strat to my ears.
He really is the Best/Smoothest etc.
This is probably my favourite video on RUclips.
I've long considered Frank a musical genius (since the 70s, in fact) and here he demonstrates his innate talent for songwriting, this is such a beautiful song, his ineffable sense of melody, his musicianship... this just has everything. Love it.
How did I get to 48 without hearing of this guy? First time I meet him, he melts my face clean off!!!
I Was Lucky To Have A Brother In Law That Was Really Into Music And Took Me To A Styx Concert In St Paul Mn Frank Marino Warmed Up For Styx And When Styx Came Out On Stage They Were Booed Off The Stage Until Frank Marino Came Back Out On Stage And Played With Styx Wow What A AWESOME Guitar Player I Would Pay Any Thing To See Frank Marino Play Again I Have Seen All Kinds Of Concerts In My Time Here So Frank marino Was The Best Even Above And Beyond Led Zepplin 😄
Thanks Frank for your brilliant work 👏 God bless you 🙏 we all pulling for you my brother 🙏
His playing speaks for itself, but I wanna say that voice is beautiful. Never really thought about his singing before.
It still sounds as good as the Aurora theatre!
Here's to Frank!!! The best guitar player nobody but real old school rockers have heard of. The man's an all time great!!! Good to know he's still doing it after all these years.
Great stuff
He retired.
@Henry Jackson
Frank Marino Mahogany Rush
"OLD SCHOOL"
Tell em henry
I wore out so many Juggernaut cassettes. Love this guy
Saw Mahagony Rush at a High School Dance, M.A.I. 1972. No one danced we witnessed guitar greatness.
My wife had frozen shoulder for a while. Eventually it went away. Blessings on your healing, Frank.
Talent beyond comprehension. IHe defined my teenage years and to this day . I'm in tears of joy listening to this in 2023 . We LOVE YOU FRANK 🖖👌✌️👃🖕
I heard Frank for the first time back in 1973, from the Child of the Novelty album, New Rock and Roll. My older brother had that album. He had a big stereo from Radio Shack. I was 9 years old when I heard that song. The next song I heard was a few years later. From Mahogany Rush IV. It was Dragonfly. CHOM FM in Montreal. My older brother bought that album, too. That's when I really perked up to Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. Then I bought that live album from '78. Then Tales of the Unexpected in '79. Long story short ... Frank's music crosses generations.
Fast forward forty years. I have 2 outta 4 sons that play guitar. Both of those sons absolutely love Franks music! One of my boys and his band won the "Battle of the Bands" competition in Atlanta when he was 18 and 19 back in 2007 or '08. The moderator asked him (my son), Who were your greatest influences? My son said something like, "Oh, damn. Well, def Frank Marino". And then somebody in the audience shouted, Yeah!!
And then I have my youngest son who picked up the guitar in 2016 or 17. He likes more jazzy n bluesy music. He doesn't like hard rock. So, I played It's Begun to Rain from the original album (IV) and he absolutely loved it! He loved Dragonfly, too. So, we started bantering about who is the most well-rounded? Who can play so many genres of music flawlessly? Who makes you feel the most comfortable and at ease at home? Who makes you feel the most comfortable in your skin? Which guitarist do you most identify with? Who would you sound like if you could play guitar on that level? Who's lyrics gave you goosebumps and inspired you the most? Based on all our music interests, it came down to 3. Jimmie Page and (Zeppelin), David Gilmour, and Frank Marino. We eliminated so many off that list. Blues artists, rock, jazz. Lots. Gone! Eric Johnson held in for a while. Why not? He's tight.
It was hard to decide, obviously. Then we thought, These sounds and techniques from these bands, Zep, Floyd, and Mahogany are very disparate. So it's unfair to compare one against the other.
So back to the original questions. Who is the most well-rounded? Who makes you comfortable at home and in your own skin? Who do you most identify with as a guitarist, and who would you sound like if you played on that level? Who's lyrics inspired you and gave you goosebumps?
2 of 3 of us said, Frank Marino. The other said, David Gilmour. But, he said, "It's just a difference in taste. They all taste different. This is an unfair comparison: Which Is Best? It's just a matter of taste."
Ok, so which tastes best? Which would you aspire to? We three all said, "Frank", at the same time! Hahaha! So there!! How d'ya like them apples? True story!
saw him at the capital center in largo Maryland in 1981 at the rockandroll marathon, frank blew me away, been a fan since then ,mohogany rush live is one of my favorite live albums ❤
LOVED Frank's band Mahogany Rush back in the 70's!! "Norwegian Wood" was one of my favorites!!
I keep watching this over and over...INCREDIBLE!
He was the opener for the first concert I ever went to. They tore that stadium 🏟 down. I was 14 now I'm 59 still remember him and his band tearing up the Oakland coliseum .
I was in Hawaii camping on north shore, and I cranked this tune out while the Dat was ending to a incredible surf day. All the local Hawaiians come up to me and wanted to know this song. They were blown away by it, I was treated to killer hawaiian BBQ, and was treated like a king from them for showing them Frank "Guitar God" Marino....true story!
Mahogany rush always proves to be a people lover in a party expert party music
I think it is safe to say that that's a good story thank you mahogany rush rules
Definitely underrated, great guitarist
👍🇨🇦
Great
It's all been said in these numerous comments. Timeless, breathtaking, mesmerising, otherworldly etc etc.
I have no idea where he connects to when he picks up a guitar - only the universe knows the answer to that. Beautiful beyond mere words.
God bless you Frank.
Hi Frank, You will and always have been #1 in my Book. I’m 63 now and have followed you since I was 12 Yrs Old. You are the Greatest Guitarist and Singer the World has known and will know about long into the Future. I hope you get well soon. I will definitely keep you in my Prayers. I bought the set with the Book and it’s my Cherished item. Thanks so much for putting it together. Keep well Frank.👍👍❤️
You know it!
Remember mahogany rush from the 70's. Thank you for this.
I saw Frank for the first time in 1972 at Vanier college auditorium in montreal quebec....amazing then and still fantastic and mesmerizing .....great musician
He was the most underrated Guitarist and rocker from back in the day. I was Privileged to see him on several occasions and I still dig his music today as much as I did then. I wish him well and if he ever looks at any of these comments or his friends see these comments I hope he knows how much we love him and his beautiful music then and now! ❤️
Always been a fan from his hometown of Montreal when I saw Frank for the first time opening for Uriah Heep at the old Forum in December 1972.
Frank Marino is a true guitar Hero!

Dear Frank Marino
You are part of MY Hendrix Triumvirate
Saw Jimi Hendrix May 1970
Saw Robin Trower November 1976
Never saw you live
Didn't tour Metro Philly a lot
Saw the OTHER Rush 4xs
You & Paul Harwood & Jimmy Ayoob were my favorite Mahogany Rush
If this doesn't hit home you're made of stone
Frank, i have been a fan since 74!!!! Thanks for being perfect!!!
That is phenomenal! The drummer has a awesome groove too...I mean all these guys are incredible
I agree, the band is faultless, brilliant concert, wish i was there.!! Greetings from the land under the land down under (Tasmania)
This is some of the best music I've never heard before. Instant fan here.
Aloha from Hawaii,
2023 - 1 year ago I came here, back again.
Great guitar player 🎸
I swear there's a magic in his music that brings me there to the beautiful past I've never lived through ...
That is one of most amazing performance's that I have ever seen..
It's been a long time since I have heard anything in the popular music culture that I was moved to call "beautiful music. Now I have.
I grew up listening to Frank Marino And Mahogany Rush, Frank’s a musical treasure. Yes I’m another of the 63 year old guy’s found throughout the comment section who’s been listening to Frank since the old old days.
I just turned 63 a week ago. Tried to see Frank back when I was a teenager. He broke a hand or arm and that concert was canceled. Had tickets to two shows in 2020. That didn't work out. So glad for the DVD set from the Agora. A true master.
SO glad my buddy M.R. reintroduced me
to Frank's wonderful talents
2023 Wed. 27th Dec 1201 Listings to one of the greatest guitar 🎸 players I have heard Timeless and his band are just cutting it 👍🏽🥝🇳🇿now a fan thanks 🙏 for making feel alive 😊
Frank stands out in the front row with the best of them no question.
Frank, I had the pleasure of attending one of your concerts with Mahogany Rush back in the late 70s in Pembrooke Pines, Fl at the Hollywood Sportatorium, you were amazing then, and you're still amazing now. Thank you for all the great music.
I think this somg was on the first album of his that I bought. Nobody has given me more entertainment in my 63 years than Frank Marino concerts albums and certainly i cannot be more thankful the stars aligned and his magic was captured. In recall lit clearly like it was yesterday a couple friends said he you gotta hear this. So on the living console magnavox johnny b goode. Never missed frank marino or little feat at the warner theatre in washington dc
At age 63 I have a very short list of artists I would bother to see again. Frank is way up on that list. Saw him up close in Dallas. My teenage son and I were blown away.
Love frank marino from the first time i ever heard him in the 70’s ,by far the world’s greatest guitarist.thank you dear god above for giving the world such a special talent.all prayers to you frank,god bless!!!
, One of the greatest songs played by one of the greatest singers and guitar players. Love ya Brother!
Bought my first album 1974 Strange Universe.. all I can say is hat's off to my old friend you're beyond this world!
No matter how many times I hear this, I am transported back to a time when all was good and calm, my arm around my lady, and the lights down low. Thank you for that indelible memory.
God Bless You Mr.Marino, you use your God given gift to help others with great songs .The world is a better place with you playing your guitar and singing.Prayers for your health from North Carolina on the Outer Banks.We love you .God is with You
Haven’t jammed on him since high school back in 81. I think it’s time to check him out.
Awesome ness Badass cool breeze
My Big brothers had your albums in his collection in the early 70s and the sounds off those records like talking bout a feeling ane dragonfly were amazing .just had keep putting that needle back on the dual turntable.God is with you Frank
How about a shout out to Frank's amazing rythym section. These guys are top notch and Frank is in top form as usual.
I bought this DVD and had it autographed all for a hundred bucks you can't beat that.
Frank, our gang would always go to the Eastown Theater at Harper & Van Dyke In Detroit to see you regardless of who else was on the bill. Every time was absolutely amazing!
I never get tired of hearing & watching this 👍
Thank you Frank for touching my soul in such a way. You are music.
A friend turned me onto Frank Marino and Robin Trower back in the 80's. I have loved that 70's style and sound ever since. I have a great collection of Marino's music. As a guitarist I have been trying to recreate that style and sound. Not so easy, close but not the same.❤🩹❤🩹
You can always go to Frank Marino audio and check out his new handmade custom pedals, you'd be one step closer to your goal for sure!
This DVD is worth every cent
Perfect example of Frank's brilliant diversity of guitar mastery. MESMERIZING!
Having read all the incredible comments there is nothing i can add, just to say thank God i found you, better late than not at all. I cant imagine any one better than this. God bless you.
♥ Frank Marino has been a top favorite of mine since the 1970s. I owned all of the great albums in original issue form with fold-open covers. I saw Frank play live in the early 1980s in a small club in Philadelphia called Ripley's. I had the closest seat to Frank's microphone which was an arm length away. Behind that was a wall of Marshall cabs that was louder than anything I have experienced in my 6 decades. At the end of the show, Frank looked down at me and tossed his guitar pick right into my hand. Being this was South Philly, about 10 guys tried to take it from me, none succeeded. I could not hear anything for several days afterward, but when hearing returned, I learned to play guitar with that pick. Thanks Frank!
They came to Austin Tx. when I was a kid. So happy I was there. They opened for triumph . Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush murdered, destroyed, smoked and blew them away,,, unmercifully and with out a doubt. One of the Greatest shows of All Time. Thank You !!!! =D
I mean…..probably the greatest rock/jazz/fusion/blues player there has ever been….bless you Frank Marino…..truly awesome….
One of the best live shows I've ever seen! Thanks Frank
God damn Frank! I saw you live 40 years ago and you stole the show, hands down!
Still killin it all these years later!!!
God bless you Sir!!!
🤟🤟🤟
Will never forget 1977 Cobo Hall Detroit MI, featuring Kansas, Mother's Finest and head liner Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. Marino is up there on the guitar Mt Rushmore with Page, Clapton, Hendrix. But that's just my humble opinion. Continue to heal up and Stay Groovy
Frank, no one ever talks about your vocals... this is so heartfelt and emotional but masculine and full of force. Not many people can pull that off. Your playing is stellar, and this is my favorite track and version... but your voice man... gets better with age
YES- everyone mentions his guitar wizardry but he so seldom sings with this type of slower paced, soulful style and it is deeply moving when he does. He is one of a kind
The ultimate rock vocals!
His vocals are amazing. Frank is one of my all-time favorite musicians.
Franks Vocals are worth mentioning Heres my mention ! I love franks vocals on "Window to the World"
I love them so mch
FRANK IS BEYOND MOST. He Is a special talent. A one of a kind. The best guitarist I have ever seen! Playing fast runs does not make you an artist. Playing soul from the heart makes you great! Shredders need to learn that.
July 4th 1976 you and the guys MR tore it up on our county’s Bicentennial at good ole Rockford Speedway. A show I will never forget and I was glad that you were there. All the best to you Frank just keep playing even if it’s at home and make videos if you want or don’t want to. We’re always here to love and enjoy your music. But mostly we want you to enjoy your retirement. You have been a Lucky man to be able to do what you always wanted to do in life. You just killed it on this song! 🐢
I was blessed to attend the 1st Texas World Music Festival in 1978, Where Frank w/Mahogany Rush made an indelible impression. He's still making an impression 45yrs later.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES FRANK...💯💖🙏
Same, Dallas
☮️
Grew up in Snyder Texas, use to play his music while getting ready for Jr high in '75, one of the best ever, Frank is the King Bee! 😎👍
Frank Marino was one of the greatest and most underrated gifts to the American music scene in history. Such an inspiration, such a blessing, Wow
That would be North American given he is Canadian…..
Beautiful beautiful beautiful ! I was fortunate enough to see Frank and Mahogany Rush on 10 Dec 1977 at the King’s Hall, Queen Street Derby, UK. He was amazing and became a major influence on my playing. Loved the show, he played King Bee Blues, Purple Haze, Dragonfly (I think he may have opened with Dragonfly or The Answer) Requiem for a Sinner and World Anthem. Most of the stuff was from World Anthem and Mahogany Rush IV. He had a very good support band called Lone Star who did a song with a catchy melody called Bells of Berlin - Today is 20 November 2023 - Happy Birthday Frank - wishing you a fabulous day 🇬🇧 Frank’s voice is tear jerkingly beautiful.
Only heard of this guy a few minutes ago via an article that popped up in my Google feed. Wow: Yet another great one whose career flew under the radar.
So great to hear a fine guitarist play melodic lines instead of shred-head and overdone blues riffs. Definitely an underrated guitarist !!!! Play on Frank !!
Frank can play any style
Agreed...........jazz anyone
I would LOVE to have those jazz lines in my arsenal...
He plays plenty of blues licks don't ever disparage the blues
Such an amazing legendary talented man... he is phenomenal to say the least! Always love to watch and hear him! Wow!
God brings me to the strangest places….❤❤❤ thank you. This was totally sweet!
Saw this man in Winterland SF California in the late 70s. One of the most underrated axemen of the era who I still am listening to at 67 and loving him. Thankyou for many memories.
Dear Frank, how beautiful this track is. Phenomenal musicianship. BTW, I ate my hat! 😁😂😎
Live version is the absolute best..it has so much of what we need in the world today...expression of happiness and love.amen Frank...
I saw someone post a tune from the DVD. I asked him if he really loved Frank to please take it down. To me this Man hasn’t earned nearly enough for the amazing music he’s provided for so many years. I’m telling you, I’ve seen him since 75 so many times live. I was so saddened when the tour got cancelled. But even worse was finding out he is not well. The DVD is worth more then money to me! It’s everything I thought and more! May God bless Frank. I’m praying for you. Thanks for making this trip called life so beautiful with your music! All love to Frank Marino! I’ve heard that he did more then the 6 hours released! I believe it. If it’s ever released I’ll buy that as well. Again, all respect, love and affection to the man!
Very well said Vince. I can't believe he didn't (and still doesn't) get the airplay his music deserves. People are missing out.
Me too, Vince! He is incomparable.
I'm on a fixed income and I scraped together the cash to buy the DVD because Frank deserves it. Having said that I'm really glad the Internet is introducing Frank's music to new audiences. This vid had over 500,000 views how cool is that?
@@DaleBrotherton thanks. It’s great to meet a fan!
@@bluenoteone simply incredible. It’s just too cool we lived in a time when his and some other music was going on! Nice to meet you
WTF! Just when you think there is nothing left in this world to inspire you. Amazing..
I never tire of listening to Frank Marino. One of the greatest musicians of the 70s era.
This is just beautiful, many influences from Hendrix to jazz. I really regret that I never saw Frank live as I am a huge fan. I
have the dvd of Live at Agora and in part this partly makes up for it. Apart from being one of the greatest guitarists ever to have
graced the planet, his vocals are a perfect fit for his songs.
I had forgotten just how damn good Frank Marino is, I'm glad I watched this.
Still have the Frank Marino and Mahogoany Rush live from the 70's and like a King Bee is still one of my all time favourite songs. The man is an aboslute legend. This uplaod also forced me to pull out my older Todd Rngren recordings............both those gents were my guitar heros of old
As a little boy, 12 years old, in the early 80s, I got a Frank Marino record from my brother. Since then I have admired and liked his music above all others.
And that Kids , is how it's done . Thank You Frank .
Today's music doesn't have soul, Frank Marino always has soul !
I grew up listening to Frank I never get tired of listening to Frank God bless you Frank
Thanks for all the great music Frank and Jim and Paul and to the other great players you've played and recorded with over the decades. Saw you many times and every show was awesome! Hope your health improves so as you can enjoy your golden years! The Power of Rock'n'Roll will always be with the dragonfly!
One of my all-time favorites! I was introduced to Frank's music in the mid-seventies and had the chance to see him live 4-5 times and talked to him backstage late after a show with a couple my friends, early nineties in Albany NY. A very humble, courteous and friendly man. We talked 15-20 min - and would have talked longer had not his bandmates pulled him away to get on the their bus to wherever.. they laughed as he walked away telling us he would talk into late morning if we let him.
He'll always have a special musical place in my life. I've turned many on to his music, who had not heard of him or vaguely at best .
Thank you Frank. Hang in there and know you're loved.
True musician.. who plays concerts
Not shows 😂🤣😂
Love Frank. Genuine soul.
You’ve come to the right place.
King when it comes to meaning-ful music Love this tune You guys rock and will not make it die plz. Keep Rocking !
Got to see him and Mahogany Rush in Santa Monica back in the early 80's. Fantastic show ❤
True Masterpiece 😊. Last time I saw Frank play live was about 16-17 years ago ( maybe off by a year or so ) when he played at a little club here in San Diego called Brick by Brick …. That was Epic , and a true “ Thing to check off on my Bucket list “ as I’ve been a huge fan since around 1972 or ‘73 when I first was introduced to his music. Wishing you well buddy , you have been an incredible inspiration. 👍
