Saw Frank in 1977. I was up close to the stage. He is in another world when plays live. A genius, I don't think even knows a crowd is in front of him, MR backs him so FN good also. What a great concert! The 70's. The decade of unbelievable concerts. If someone asks If I would do it all over again, I would say no. Except for the concerts. If I could have them again, well that would be reliving the best times of my life.
About one year ago, Frank Marino announced that he was getting out of music for good. So all we have now, are the recordings of his work. There will be no more new licks to come. Frank gave no reason for his exiting of the music scene. His reasons are his own, and personal. He gave us close to 4 decades of astonishing and awesome music. Thank you Frank, and all the people of Mahogany Rush, for the memories... Your fans don't want it to stoop. But all good things must find their end. Peace. Yehovah bless!
@@michaelhutto2521 Okay, that's his business anyway. I was just going by what he said "himself," that he was getting out of the music business altogether. He released his last album, a live version of his tunes and some of his history. The album contained 4-6 CDs if I recall... But no matter what, Frank, "according to him,' is retired and no longer producing music, or doing any more tours.
Today, April 15 2022,I had my mind musically blown away. I have never heard of this amazing guitarist Frank Marino until now. His styles,knowledge and depth is like no other guitar player I've ever listened to..
Frank is in my favorite 3 top best guitarist list! You really need to check out his material Gary for I am sure you will be giving him the upmost of ratings. On that note, Frank has to be the most underrated guitarist that has ever performed. Peace
Welcome to the world of amazing guitar. Frank is the master of so many styles and so innovative. Check out his portfolio. You will be amazed again and again!
I ordered Frank Marino’s Live at the Agora CD set. This is mind-blowing music, just an astonishing range of styles. To me, this recording is better than any of his previous releases.
Joe Bonamassa said that if it wasn't for Frank he wouldn't be playing guitar. I was lucky enough to have followed Frank's career from the beginning as a Montrealer. He played like that when he was 16. What a talent.
Saw him back in 77-78? Blew me up and away. Guy could play ANYTHING. blues , jazz, Rock, psychedelia.. I pondered Just saying fuck it, and throwing my guitar away. Great trippin' music. Never thought I'd see any one who rivaled Hendrix, but Frank continued down the trail Jimi blazed. He's an Unsung Legend. Oh fantastic band too Drummer was superb, Bass great.
Man I never heard Frank just go crazy on a long vamp before and take off into another galaxy. He always blows my mind. Thanks Frank ! God bless you! If anyone should be in the R& R hall of fame, it's you!!
This song 🎵 with its Native American type rhythm, came into being or creation after me and my shaman friend Steven P. Sanchez met Frank Marino back stage and then played Native American flute at the coach house in San Juan Capistrano, for Frank on the tour prior to the recording! (Steve is a phenom on drums and was trained by Luis Bellson!) (Steve was born same year as Frank in September 1954!) Rock Star 💫 Memories. 💯🎵🤘
My Mahogany Rush albums have a special place in my collection. They sit with the mostly unknown, underrated musicians that deserve more respect. Like Roy Buchanon and Steve Morris. I've been a fan for 40 years. I hear he might be sick. Play on.
So great. Saw him in London, Ontario sometime in the 2010’s at a blues festival playing for a few hundred people during a beautiful afternoon. This was my favourite song, but all were phenomenal. He played for two hours or so and was relentless. Wow. A Canadian treasure.
Seen him as well at the Aragon Ballroom with Steppenwolf in the 70's. Fabulous show by both groups. But Frank definitely left his mark. He showed he's a force to reckon with. As this tune clearly shows as well. Would hate to ever have to follow him as a band on stage.
@Mark Wilson Something I never realised, I always assumed he played a strat, never having had the privilege to see him live. Do you know why he chose the SG? BTW I'm lucky enough to own a early 60's SG (pictured in my Avatar). She's old battered and road worn, but she just oozes history.
I wasn't much of a Marino/Mahogany Rush fan until I saw him play this song live in Soquel, Cali a few years ago. Incredible guitarist. So very underrated. Unfortunately, he will never get the credit he deserves. Nobody plays like this anymore. I should have ate all the mushrooms that night..lol
First time I saw Frank was 1979 opening for Styx...Styx was absolutely amazing...loved their show. Frank absolutely DESTROYED them all by himself...Been listening ever since...Simply, the greatest!
He never got the credit and or commercial success he deserved. His version of All Along The Watchtower I like more than Hendrix's. Love his Purple Haze cover. And Who Do Yea Love. On and on and on. Great live album!!
Frank is as good or better live. So talented and versatile, blues, funk, fusion jazz , hard rock, and psychadelic. Franks music always changes song to song album to album. I never get bored .
I have seen almost every band since the late sixties, I think Frank is on a whole different plane if you saw him or get to see him do not pass it up stratospheric show in every way PEACE and thank-you Frank for all the years!!!
Gary, couldn’t agree with you and Albert more. Was in The Wharehouse, New Orleans 1978 when he was recording for the “Live” album. I was hooked by his brilliance and will remain so till I’m six ft under. Regards
I really like Frank Marino, it's good that he's alive and can play for many years .... But God took us for example: Gary Moore, took it too soon ... would it be to form the perfect band in the skies?
I thank God i got to see him live up close in a little bar and talk to him. Asked him to play Try For Freedom. He did. (pretty sure he was gonna play it anyway tho!)
got to meet frank after playing close to a 3hr set met with his fans sign autograph took picture and answer all questions,A true gentleman and the best guitarist of my generation.
Greatest ever of any generation!!! Hes why i started playing after seeing him the first time in 78 with angel an acts an humble pie!!! rock -n-roll marathon tour wow what magic!!!!! your lucky too have met him!!!
@Daniel " the best guitarist of my generation." Frank seems to be born in 1954. Now you should designate "generation." I mean; there is guys born in 40's like Beck, Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Alvin Lee, Terry Kath, Rory Gallagher...In 50's came to my mind Peter Frampton...I just mean FM is really good, but it's damn hard to compare. And that's just a good thing! :)
Last time I saw Frank Marino was in the summer of 1986 in San Antonio TX. Very stoked to see him perform there again this year. He was, is and always will be my favorite guitar master.
Best guitar player in rock history as far as I am concerned. Such innovation and control of the instrument. The raw power and energy and sound is amazing. His licks surprise and amaze me.
Marino along w Trower barrowed Jimi flag and further unfurled into areas as mytical and gorgeous as his soul. This is soular music. Easily one the all time baddass cats to ever plug in the geetar!!!
Frank definitely kicks ass what a master on that six string called a guitar. Very underrated. Seen him 1st time at Day on the Green back in the 70's when i was 14 still listening at 53
@Pete Ochoa I was there, too. St. Vincent, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent. The original Monsters of Rock tour. I was just starting to play guitar, Frank was one of my early influences, and he absolutely was the star of that show for me. Mind blowing. Still listening at 58.
David Vallone :Music is not a competitive business. either you like a particular style of music or you don't. I can tell you were one of those death before disco tee shirt wearers.Sir I could have been one standing next to you at a concert. We're a generation that is holding on to the music we loved as younguns. I'll stay listening to Mahogany Rush,Cream,Rush and who I consider bad ass bands. Let others worry who they like.I've never bought a Hank Williams or Bee Gees.Let others contribute to those styles.But people like us will rock until we're planted.
Frank Marino, Michaël Schenker , Uli Jon Roth and Al Di Meola :they are the most underestimated geniuses of the electric guitar, inimitable, melodic, inspired, inspiring, virtuosos.
did a lot of LSDelight in my younger days when it comes to Frank u really don't even need it just listen to the music he takes u on sonic journeys like no one else
U know L.S.D backwards is DSL Does it ring a bell. Also the movie 2001odyscy. Hal was the computers name. What cames after H in the alphabet. I and A, B and L. M. IBM. Ring a bell. Scary shit.
This song is so hypnotic..it turns into like some incredible wierdass bagpipes on acid.. You just listen to FM's music and you go wtf...how did he come up with this unbelievably crazy cool shit. .. BTW an incredible jazz and blues virtuoso as well.
I always expect excellence from Frank Marino but this is just.....well I can't find the words to describe so let his guitar tell you. Where does he get these sounds?!!! I have said it before and I'll say it again, nobody, but nobody.......
I have never heard this. God, I love Frank Marino so much. I am so influenced by him, and you can tell if you listen to any of my solos. This is just brilliant.
The sounds this man pulls out of his guitar takes me to places nobody else sends me to....Nobody!!! Once you hear Frank Marino you will never forget that sound.
Lord, thank you for Frank and the amazing gift he has shared with us...I have listened to his music since 1976 and I know we are all blessed who have had the opportunity to hear this joyous noise....rock on Frank...Amen
I saw Frank and Mahogany Rush back in the mid 80's at a local bar called 'The Coyote Club' excellent nightclub to see any great performer! Thank you Frank and Mahogany Rush....outstanding show!
saw frank marino in Stockholm Sweden back in 1983 !! excellent then and excellent now totaly amasing player back in 83 he had 2 drummers on stage and played the loudest Concert i ever been too. not before and not after ! and i have Been to many. pepole had to move backwards becuse the ears coudent Take it. 2houers gig One of my best Concert's i ever been too
Franks playing reminded me of Robin Trower-taking the listener on a journey through time and space.Those SG’s must of been smoking after a gig.His guitar tech was kept busy no doubt.
Just in case you forget what really great guitar playing is all about just come back to this and you will be reminded quickly. Chills everytime I hear it.
My cousin Fred turned me on to your glorious sound in the summer of 1983 I saw you in person in the summer of 84 85 amhearst massachusetts best of my life ...sorry you had to retire , live in eterinty
Frank Marino is the heaviest rock and roller ever. Change my mind. Very few people have ever even heard this guy. This is where Jimi Hendrex would have gone for a bit if he stuck around.
There simply is no one in the rock idioms who can really get close to Frank's expressive range and technical facility. And he does it with a fresh originality that eschews clichés and tired repetition of signature licks. I hope that his current condition is allowing him to find some creative expression.
Nothing wrong with a bit of Zappa. Know where you're comin' from and I agree. You can do a lot worse than be influenced by some of the best and greatest guitarists in history :)
Whew!! Holy spirit in this Song you come wonderfully in comfort! power allmighty God you are & soul instruction! thru you bless Frank thru his music with thanks giving ..love and adoration we give back to you Praises.. and Glory is all yours Lord God Allmighty You are our Great God! in whom we Trust! God delivers the Goods!
Glad he's still around!! One of the all-time musical greats, instantly recognisable both in style and voice, and versatile - definitely not a one-trick pony... 😉 I'd love to see Frank when he plays in Europe!
I remember when this first came out in 2000. I was so psyched to get brand new Frank Marino. Eye of the Storm, and He's Calling. Are a perfect one, two punch. This is a fantastic example of Frank's improvisational skills.
Just listened to the studio version and then this live version, Frank oconnell, you are right this is a diamond, I love it, will listen to it many times. And Frank Marino, hat's off and thumbs up, great performance.
MY LINK is early 70's, already an SG afficionado, spending hours to practice early morning on the stage, immemorial, in a summer pop festival. He got way better with time, but I just found how good it became, and a happy lot it became, thanks Frank !!!
I totally agree with those of you who have said all of these things about Frank Mariano and what a killer guitar player and song writer he is, and also his voice and stage performance's!!! And I have to say though that in my opinion I really can't rate anything he's done musically better than any other, because I consider it all equally as badsss all together!!! Face it folks, the guy is a guitar wizard, and a musical genius!!! Ernie Wilber 🤘👹🤘✌️
Mahogany Rush was the only concert of the late 1970's I can really recall any part of very well, & that's saying a lot. It was at the Paramount theatre Seattle Washington & I can still see the strobe lights flashing in unison with the drum breaks on the song Strange Universe & all the little glowing red lights on his custom pedal board like it was yesterday.

E' vero meriterebbe di piu' di quello che ha e' un grande io l' ho scopertox caso e mi piace ha un talento ineguagliabile grandioso🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just straight out solid Frank Marino....doing what he does best....
TWO SUPERSTARS: FRANK MARINO AND JESUS!
Amen

he is recovering from an issue that he would not devulge that prohibits him from touring

Otherworldly. Mesmerizing, Galaxies beyond far away!

Me too. Bought his first album in '73 and never stopped being amazed
Man I never heard Frank just go crazy on a long vamp before and take off into another galaxy. He always blows my mind. Thanks Frank ! God bless you! If anyone should be in the R& R hall of fame, it's you!!
Spot on! You mean the ,”Hall Of Shame”. They should come begging for Frank. There’s no bullshit with this legendary artist! Peace.

Thanks for stopping by and your comment Jason!
Saw Frank open for Sabbath, in the early 80’s. This was when Dio was with them. Marino was amazing.
My Mahogany Rush albums have a special place in my collection. They sit with the mostly unknown, underrated musicians that deserve more respect. Like Roy Buchanon and Steve Morris. I've been a fan for 40 years. I hear he might be sick. Play on.
He has Frozen Shoulder. It is debilitating....;(
Some of the most terrifyingly amazing guitar ever. What an incredible player.
Could not agree more
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!
TERRIFYINGLY AMAZING GUITAR I LOVE THAT!
Touché 🗡 Frank pulls out all the stops. Bad azz ☮️
So great. Saw him in London, Ontario sometime in the 2010’s at a blues festival playing for a few hundred people during a beautiful afternoon. This was my favourite song, but all were phenomenal. He played for two hours or so and was relentless. Wow. A Canadian treasure.
London Bluesfest. July 2008 a fun gig!
@
Wow! That long ago. I never forgot this show (still talking about it like it was just the other day). Never saw anything like it or since.
Saw him in the mid 70s at the Aragon Ballroom Chicago, with Queen and Kansas!!! What a night, he rocked the house!!
Austin Tx🤘🤘
Seen him as well at the Aragon Ballroom with Steppenwolf in the 70's. Fabulous show by both groups. But Frank definitely left his mark. He showed he's a force to reckon with. As this tune clearly shows as well. Would hate to ever have to follow him as a band on stage.
I hear different things each time I relive this track.....middle eastern, psychedelic, monster rock GOD
I loved your use of the Phrygian scale on that song, absolutely brilliant as always‼️🔥👍
The tones Frank gets out of his SG has mesmerized me for 4 decades.
@Mark Wilson Something I never realised, I always assumed he played a strat, never having had the privilege to see him live. Do you know why he chose the SG? BTW I'm lucky enough to own a early 60's SG (pictured in my Avatar). She's old battered and road worn, but she just oozes history.
FRANK MARINO IS DEFINITELY A MUST SEE LIVE!! IT'S EPIC!!! REAL TALK 💯🎸🎼💖🎼
@@globulant99 Number of frets, and the Strat was uncomfortable for him due to strap lock location.
@@globulant99 He has four - two with P90's and two more modern updated versions of the SG.
He has one of the most sophisticated effect systems in the world -- much is handbuilt by him! Also a Fender Combo rebuilt too!
Frank is the best guitarist of the rock & roll era. Bar none!
Beezle Bug yes he is brother Robin Trower 2nd Pat Travers
IF you rolled all the greatest rock guitarists of all time into one person? FRANK MARINO. Period. End of Story.
Most underrated ever.
@@danimald.2407AIN'T NO JOKE 💯🎸🎼
@@mikezuckerman521 Never thought of it that way but yeah...totally agree.
Been amazed since 76 with his playing.
4th time listening, aint heard anything like this , absolutely mind blowing!

He did. (pretty sure he was gonna play it anyway tho!)

He is from another World!
If you listen to this it get you all the time and won`t let you go. Awesome journey
Best guitar player in rock history as far as I am concerned. Such innovation and control of the instrument. The raw power and energy and sound is amazing. His licks surprise and amaze me.
In his hey days, every band knew when Marino hit the stage it was a guitar master class. Highly respected among his string bending peers,
Marino along w Trower barrowed Jimi flag and further unfurled into areas as mytical and gorgeous as his soul. This is soular music. Easily one the all time baddass cats to ever plug in the geetar!!!
Frank squeezes out his guitar tones! Thnx Frank!
Blew us away when he was playing Highschools in Montrealback in 71
Fucking incredible song
His tone crushes all others...period..
Respect!
The Master! The most unique style of guitar playing in the history of the world.
Frank Marino Rocks!
Frank definitely kicks ass what a master on that six string called a guitar. Very underrated. Seen him 1st time at Day on the Green back in the 70's when i was 14 still listening at 53

20 now , must be LGBT Madonna trolls...
now you know where EVH borrowed his sound. Frank was doing stuff like this since late 1960’s
A Rock n Roll National Treasure.
In a word "transcendental" every version of this..He is speaking in tongues via guitar on the solo
My Man from Montreal, 🇨🇦👍, been a fan since I bought “What’s Next” brand new wwaayy back in ‘74 I, I believe.
Frank Marino, Michaël Schenker , Uli Jon Roth and Al Di Meola :they are the most underestimated geniuses of the electric guitar, inimitable, melodic, inspired, inspiring, virtuosos.
Also add to that list Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore.
SRV too!
Steve Vai, Eric Johnson & Joe Satriani
did a lot of LSDelight in my younger days when it comes to Frank u really don't even need it just listen to the music he takes u on sonic journeys like no one else
Interesting you said that. Frank actually had bad experiences with that and it set him back for a while.
But it definitely can make things more interesting. (or frightening. depends how it all goes)
Fuckin eh! Blue waffer '81
U know L.S.D backwards is DSL Does it ring a bell. Also the movie 2001odyscy. Hal was the computers name. What cames after H in the alphabet. I and A, B and L. M. IBM. Ring a bell. Scary shit.

I am dyslexic
Longtime fan totally awesome music frank is a great guitarist
This song is so hypnotic..it turns into like some incredible wierdass bagpipes on acid..
You just listen to FM's music and you go wtf...how did he come up with this unbelievably crazy cool shit. .. BTW an incredible jazz and blues virtuoso as well.
God bless you Frank. I'm glad you're still performing ✌🙏🎧

Wao.. You are Red Beach.. Nice!!! I love FM, He said: the spirit of Jimy Hendrix. (Read in an anti-gia interview)
The sounds this man pulls out of his guitar takes me to places nobody else sends me to....Nobody!!! Once you hear Frank Marino you will never forget that sound.
I LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE SAID HERE MARK!

2020, still fucking amazing ,....
Damn Frank's vocals sounds the same as the '70s. I'm impressed 😊!
Has been my favorite since I saw him in 78 in Fresno, CA. Going to see him in OCTOBER 2020 in San Juan Capistrano, CA. Can't wait!
Frank Marino is the heaviest rock and roller ever. Change my mind. Very few people have ever even heard this guy. This is where Jimi Hendrex would have gone for a bit if he stuck around.
There’s a great power trio outta Cali called ‘Earthless’.. . I just realized they musta listened to their share of FMMR in their day...
There simply is no one in the rock idioms who can really get close to Frank's expressive range and technical facility. And he does it with a fresh originality that eschews clichés and tired repetition of signature licks. I hope that his current condition is allowing him to find some creative expression.
When he starts the solo, it reminds me of Zappa a bit. Truly outstanding!
mindlesspup sound/effect like "ship ahoy"
mindlesspup the wah peddle ala zappa
I thought the exact same thing. Something off of Apostrophe, Sheik Yer Bouti or Joe's Garage.
They both use the SG.
Nothing wrong with a bit of Zappa. Know where you're comin' from and I agree. You can do a lot worse than be influenced by some of the best and greatest guitarists in history :)
FRANK HOW YOU DOING THIS IS TIMELESS YOU KNEW THAT SURFING THE GALAXY STILL I GATHER... GOD BLESS THIS CHILD

absolutly beautiful ....amazing psihodely, incredable player
thank you. best regards from skopje - macedonija
Simply a legend a long time ago~please keep rockin' frank!
Just heard this........WOW............He is the Best!!!
Most of my friends back then did not get into Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. The Greatest Hits CD was one of the first 10 CDs that I bought.
Glad he's still around!! One of the all-time musical greats, instantly recognisable both in style and voice, and versatile - definitely not a one-trick pony... 😉
I'd love to see Frank when he plays in Europe!
I have to listen to Frank at the end of the night, after Ive listened to the mortal musicians. If I listen to him first then he ruins everyone else.
He plays from his heart, brilliant musician.
this is incredible it's a nother demension of the sg no one has everplayed before
I remember when this first came out in 2000. I was so psyched to get brand new Frank Marino. Eye of the Storm, and He's Calling. Are a perfect one, two punch. This is a fantastic example of Frank's improvisational skills.
Playing this now with 🎧 from "real live" whole album is 🔥🔥🔥 and his band kills also. Live Frank just kicks ass.
Just listened to the studio version and then this live version, Frank oconnell, you are right this is a diamond, I love it, will listen to it many times. And Frank Marino, hat's off and thumbs up, great performance.
this mans music is truly a journey back to the present so many beautiful moments of a wonderful dance with God Rock on Frank!!!
MY LINK is early 70's, already an SG afficionado, spending hours to practice early morning on the stage, immemorial, in a summer pop festival.
He got way better with time, but I just found how good it became, and a happy lot it became, thanks Frank !!!
Listening to this from "real live" album right now 🎧 🔥
Frank, it's so GREAT !! Please play for old good Fans in Europe ! (bevore i die)
I totally agree with those of you who have said all of these things about Frank Mariano and what a killer guitar player and song writer he is, and also his voice and stage performance's!!! And I have to say though that in my opinion I really can't rate anything he's done musically better than any other, because I consider it all equally as badsss all together!!! Face it folks, the guy is a guitar wizard, and a musical genius!!! Ernie Wilber 🤘👹🤘✌️
Mahogany Rush was the only concert of the late 1970's I can really recall any part of very well, & that's saying a lot. It was at the Paramount theatre Seattle Washington & I can still see the strobe lights flashing in unison with the drum breaks on the song Strange Universe & all the little glowing red lights on his custom pedal board like it was yesterday.
