_Frank Marino And Mahogany Rush Live_ is an essential listen.

I got to see Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush in Seattle 1975. They opened for Montrose and Black Sabbath. Frank Marino came out and stole the show. I understood back then, even though I was only 15, why he was compared to Hendrix. He played The Star Spangled Banner. He played the guitar with his teeth and behind his head. We went to a TON of concerts in Seattle in the '70s and '80s at many different venues. This particular concert was my all-time favorite and most memorable. I'd never heard of Mahogany Rush or Frank Marino prior to the concert. Afterward, I ran out and bought Strange Universe and have been a huge fan ever since.

I saw Mahogany Rush in the mid 70's in Louisville, KY at The Garden. Paid less than $2 for the ticket and sat 3 rows back right in front of Frank. By the way, that tour became their live album!

He's from my hometown of Verdun Montreal Quebec. I saw him in June '78 at Place de Nation in Montreal. It was an outdoor show and Eddie Money opened the show.

I saw Frank in the summer of 1979 opening for Kansas. He was great. Unfortunately that was the only time that I saw him. I believe that the band played All Along The Watchtower.

If you’re interested… the album “Mahogany Rush 4” will change your life. More recently, Frank Marino live at the Agora theatre is a true testament to this man’s talents. His vocals are equally as stellar & one of a kind. Thanks for the presentation, well done

They opened the first Texas Jam in Dallas in July’78. Blew us away when they finally came on late that night.

I never knew much about MR, so I appreciated your video documenting them and Frank Marino in particular.

A buddy and I went to see him when we were high school in 1980 at the Long Beach Arena in California, and it was the loudest concert I have ever been to, hands down. There was a kid and his parents seated next to us, a kid who looked like he had some issues with drugs and alcohol, perhaps, and his parents were there to be supportive and keep him out of trouble. 30 seconds in, they were furiously stuffing Kleenex in their ears with a horrified look on their faces. To their credit, they made it through the entire concert. Our ears rang for a week afterwards, and I'll never forget the look on the parent's faces.

I never had the opportunity to see Marino live. Wish I had! But he was definitely one of the guys I played on the stereo that made my Dad yell "Turn that shit down!!" 🤣🤣

Yessss Thanks for the video! “Poppy” is my favorite 🎸

Frank Marino is a true innovator with guitar techniques. 1. Behind the bridge guitar picking to produce one off sounds. 2. Backward guitar lines live in real time. 3. Faux slide playing/sound emulation with a primitive Gibson Vibrola Tremelo system. 4. Master of sounds equal to or surpassing even the great Adrian Belew. I wonder if Frank Marino was ahead of the curve with the Wet/Dry/Wet/ live amp set ups that became popular in the 80's. Was he doing that in the 70's? He also had and used one of the first wireless guitar receiver prototypes live from Schafer-Vega. (1976?)

I seen him in '78 or '79 at Comiskey Park for their second year of Summer Jam. Their were I believe 5 or 6 bands and I forget which ones went together because I was at both of them! But I do remember that Frank Marino had a cast on his right hand and after a little while he went backstage and had them take it off because he said that it was limiting him too much! I read that in a paper review the next day.

RD, Thanks great video and I learn from you. The 70's experimenting with LSD brings back many memories of crazy crap. Glad Frank made it through to become a great rocking entertainer. Boe

Saw him at the Warner Theater in DC for $1.01 for a DC101 radio promotion in 1978. He had a wall of Acoustic amps, and a daisy chain of 9 effect pedals. Big sound! Great show. The bass player could play and dance shuffle like James Brown. As I hit my mid 60s, I know about the frozen shoulder and trying to play guitar issue too.

Was Franks set up very complicated and/or different than what other guitarists were doing at the time do you know? People mentioned this wet/dry/wet amp set up that was popular in the 80's. It has been said that VanHalen used this but didn't invent this type of amp set up.

@timmillan6701 Ай бұрын

Saw Frank & MR with Humble Pie / Angel / Mothers Finest at the Hampton Coliseum in 1980. All different, all great that day. Funny, I can’t find any reference as to the specific date, but that lineup was touring in that area, at that time

Lyrics.... Well you… You think I’m crazy, but that’s not true Well it’s just that I’ve been To a million hells to pay for my sins Well hey! What I’m sayin’… Is you better be right when you speak of my plight Or I’ll be comin’ to take you back down with me To the Land of a Thousand Nights! If I’m just insane Then treat me lightly and don’t complain And if I seem uptight And if it seems that my soul is black as night… But if you’re wrong, you better be strong, yeah, ’cause I’ll be comin’ after you to take you back down To the Land of a Thousand Nights Cold, so cold I can’t pretend… The man in the outfield, with the bonnet head… Crystal clear auntie viola, wet blacknose Saint Bernard dog, And there is Alpha-Omega, clearly put water on his tarnished tongue… Crying moons, can you dig the sheep goddess? She’s feeling red feathers from a salvation army cup… And did you think I wasn’t going to blacken his room? For surely a thousand nights couldn’t help but be Draining his soul away… Say then; “Sholyo Im Fi Zhamy - Sholyo Im Fi Zhay…” www.mahoganyrush.com/discography/strange-universe/
