Marino is probably the most underrated guitarist of all time. He and his band Mahogany Rush are a deep dive. Enjoy!!

[@howardcamp6304]

I had the privilege of seeing Frank Marino in the 70’s. His mastery of the guitar is leagues above 99.9 % of the great guitarists to follow him. Thanks for the great memories.

[@donhadfield2835]

Frank Marino is not only a shred master, but he is a master of Blues, Jazz & Hendrix. He is one the favourite guitar players of YOUR favourite guitar player. He recently put out a concert video of a 6 Hour concert he performed. Unfortunately, he can't play any more so all we have is in the past now.

[@mkraulis]

If I recall correctly, when they taped the show, the drum track was corrupted somehow and was really quiet. Frank spent something like 8 to 10 years remastering the sound and then released the performance ( on DVD and Blu-ray) An excellent demonstration of his prowess, imo. Real Live is a phenomenal double live album worth checking out.

[@zandig666]

I love frank saw him 5x throughout the 80s---2000s absolute master of sound and playing from cleans to blow the doors off solos

[@stubaker1737]

Everyone should buy his DVD,, it's insanely awesome and it helps preserve his great talent,,I bought 3 so far..

[@zandig666]

"It's Begun To Rain" live from the Agora Theatre. The solo is just pure perfection .

[@davekinghorn9567]

Anything from the Agora Theater is pure perfection.

[@RockNRollKid]

The Master has over 27 albums recorded ....some of the most amazing guitar playing sounds ever produced by Frank . He is # 1 in my category. Even the headline acts Frank opened for were completely astonished and shocked on the performances he gave to the fans. Unbelievable!!!

[@richardturk7162]

Yes it is a Bob Dylan song and Hendrix was a huge Dylan fan and did a cover of it in the 60s. M R's version came later and was actually more of a cover of the Hendrix version. No fancy effects just straight into the amp and had it cranked up at live shows. Frank Marino was incredible.

[@jettechdonatkins]

Jimi for sure did this cover before Frank,but watch Jimi plaing live and compare him to this version.Frank plays much of the solos like Jimi but adds in his own thing as well.I like this cover better than Jimi's.When Frank goes into his beast mode,there isn't anything like it.As far as one of Franks own songs that he wrote,listen to 'It's Begun To Rain' from live at the Agora,or 'The Answer' from the same concert from the Agora another of his own songs.Frank was inspired by many including Jimi,but is a genious,and playing and singing at the same time shows what he can do.If you want to hear another master try listening and watching Robin Trower play 'Daydream' live from the Rockpalast in 2006,I think you'll be blown away by his ability to play the guitar.Both he and Frank inspired many of the so called greats you hear today! Peace my brother!

[@cobrax2439]

[@mine-tz1st]

In '75 my first concert at age 12 was Styx and Frank Marino was the opener. Seeing him walk onstage playing voodoo child is something I'll never forget.

[@robbierobinson3966]

Saw him on the same tour with styx. He was great. Had this album.

[@zandig666]

I saw frank 5 x throughout the 80s 90s n 2000s a very fluid player, incredible sound would absolutely blow the roof off venues

[@miguelmccullough5417]

This tune is about as simple as it gets for Mahogany Rush. Frank Marino has been the king of the six string for decades. Frank Marino Live at the Agora. Is by far the best sonically sounding DVD ever recorded.

[@markamato7339]

Dylan wrote it, hendrix made it popular, Frank a Marino unfortunately can no longer play, health reasons. Listen to requiem for a sinner, dragonfly , Frank Marino is so underated, the man combine blues rock and a progressive jazz into his repitray

[@HammerHed13]

The Answer--from the album Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live is a classic.

[@rogerboughton8637]

Seen Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush for free at Grand Rapids MI. Club eastbrook in the late 80s or round 1990. He did not disappoint. One of the best shows ever and for free. Great memory

[@jeff9ish]

He is a incredible player who inspired incredible players

[@siliyemoodislam]

@@jeff9ish oh thanks Jeff for mentioning that. I was about to google his influences on other musicians. Frank is just incredible .

[@screwedagain1]

You should check out the song "Ain't Dead Yet". That's a serious rocker and Frank rips it up! Then you can take it to the other end of the spectrum with the song "Poppy". A very jazzy vibe that shows off Frank's clean technical skills.

[@myoldmate]

Ain't dead yet is ridiculous in its pace. So frenetic. Blistering guitar though.

[@georgemangen1049]

At some point on He"s calling...his guitar turns into miiddle eastern instrument scale sounding...amazing.

[@Frank-pe9pk]

Mahogany Rush.. I used to play the 8-track tape all the time I was in my 67 Chevy van.👍 A great and underrated guitarist. Jimi did the cover first and you can tell on some of the lead notes used, Frank just improved it. Dragonfly or Strange Dreams would be a couple songs to listen to next!

[@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER.]

Did you have a pack of matches to hold the tape in place,that use to be a bitch.

[@Tonetroc45]

you HAVE to listen to His Version of "King Bee"!!! Is a Must!..

[@EvanDander]

Dylan wrote it, Hendrix, Dave Mason and Frank covered it among many others. This is a cover of the Hendrix version ( the solos)

[@joeking6763]

Dave Mason played the acoustic guitar in the Hendrix version as well.

[@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER.]

I have the Dave Mason version live,plus he threw in some Traffic,so fine.

[@Tralman1965]

Michael Hedges also covered it.

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

The first two lead breaks are covers of Hendrix, but the main break at the end is all Frank (although he is clearly heavily influenced by Jimi)

[@patrickadolfsson4784]

This gives me goose bumps !! Frank is the man!! His guitarsound is a killer, awesome !! FRANKIE FOR PRESIDENT!!🤘😎

[@debbieplato5107]

Please check out Ain't dead yet, Something coming my way and Dragonfly by them as well. Amazing talent and like a lot of Canadian bands unfortunately flew under the radar.

[@mikewoodrow5878]

@Debbie Plato Yes, you’re right these guys didn’t really make AM radio songs / hits back in the day but FM radio and “album listeners” knew of Frank’s shredding quite well, especially in Toronto and Montreal. Frank’s brother was a hell of a good musician too

[@debbieplato5107]

@@mikewoodrow5878 Yes, I listened to them back in the day and I heard about them through word of mouth and I am in western Canada.

[@allancrow134]

Wow Debbie I'm impressed. You know your Frank. I live on Vancouver Island and have been a fan for years. I'd like to think I've spread Frank's love around the Island a little bit. Cheers from Sooke.:)

[@soyounoat]

Frank became a fan of Hendrix when he was still with us, and his love and admiration for Jimi and his music can be heard throughout his career.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

You have my attention. It’s rare to see a reaction to one of the real guitar heroes like Frank. Other selections, “He’s Calling” live or studio version of “Tales of the Unexpected.” Two more live from 78, Dragonfly or The Answer. No disrespect to Gary Moore ( whose version of Red House is sick!) or Stevie and Jeff, but Frank had the Hendrix vibe down cold.

[@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER.]

His version of Johhny B Good on the 77 live album is thought be the best version covered ,It is full throttle ,ripping.

[@89801wink]

Agreed.

[@jettechdonatkins]

That and 'I'm A King Bee' from the Midnight Special are both so incredible.

[@blueh2o575]

Yes! JBG Live = mind blown

[@johndrx165]

Great band. I have seen him 4 times. 3 in the later 1970's and once in the early 2000's. Always amazing.

[@WhizzRichardThompson]

I've only FM two times, but my excuse Is that I live in the UK. I saw him in 1980 and on the Juggernaut tour. Utterly fantastic concerts.

[@joeking6763]

Yes this is a BOB DYLAN song. Jimi Hendrix did ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER - and is the most recognized version. BOB has said that he was impressed by JIMI's cover of the song.

[@joebot9309]

Jimi did the cover first in 1968. Frank did it in 1979.

[@andredecaires2]

The album "What's next" turned me on to Frank. Unimaginable that Frank is not more recognized. What a voice too!

[@DaleBrotherton]

You really need to listen to I'm a King Bee off of the Mahogany Rush Live album.

[@georgemangen1049]

Check out..."He's calling" studio and live version for a resl treat. Not only does Frank have a great and unique voice...but as a guitar player myself, i am confounded how someone can riff for 15 minutes and not lose the audiences attention. One of the best all around musicians.

[@mcasualjacques]

lighting on the guitar on the SG was perfect

[@mitchc3569]

Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush 🇨🇦! What a blast from the past. I grew up in Montreal and they were on the radio a lot. Dragonfly was a good one of theirs. If you’re diving into guitar heavy tunes La Villa Strangiato (Official Version) by RUSH is a must. Of course bass and drums feature big time too. One of the best examples of their musicianship, in my opinion. I enjoy your sincere reviews. Thank you!

[@debbieplato5107]

Yes!!

Richfield coliseum Dio in Elp 1rst band, Frank Marino & Mahogany rush second, and Deep Purlple headlined. Awesome concert.

[@lynnw9857]

Guitar Face! 😂😂 Reb Beach (Winger, Whitesnake, Black Swan) says he was once told not to actually play during the filming of a video because when he did he “Looked like I was having a seizure”.

[@darrylparent]

....Dragonfly, The Answer , New World Anthem to name a few of Frank's originals. The whole live album is a must-own album.

[@s6g2k]

I think I saw Frank and band twice. I don't recall exactly when but would have been late 70s. There were no barricades to the stage and 16-or-so year old me was watching while leaning on his monitor. A little while later I was reenacting for my cousin some antics from the stage. I lifted my guitar, broke the light shade, and the glass came down over my head and cut my jaw leaving a scar to this day. 😆

[@kickahaw]

My God he was hell on wheels His 3rd lp all good his 1st live lp as well btw I was at that show big thumbs up

[@OriginalMergatroid]

Wow, talk about a long lost forgotten band. Haven't listened to them since I was a teen. Very talented band.

[@umpdaddy1]

Marino was one of the cleanist players ever. He could shred with the best of them.

[@jettechdonatkins]

He was shredding before that term was used.Most of the greats from the 80's were influenced heavily by Frank,and also by Robin Trower! Where do you thing Eddie Van Halen got the finger tapping from!

[@JimiWolverine1]

I remember seeing FM&MR playing with the Amboy Dukes. Frankie and Ted always put on a great show with their "guitar duels." Such great music in old time Detroit

[@richardjordan5036]

check out his song called the answer,his guitar playing will blow you away..

[@stubaker1737]

Every time Frank came near Chicago we would go see him tear it up, then the unimaginable happened, he came and played in my home town of Chicago heights at a tiny little place next to the ace hardware that we all went to as kids, it was a incredible gift from God!!

[@bobgarr6246]

Yes Dylan wrote it, and as Bob said Hendrix improved on it. Then Frank Marino did it superbly. And mid 70's Dave Mason did an excellent version. I'm sure others have done covers also, but doubt they can measure up to the previous three mentioned here. You really should listen to the Dave Mason live version.

[@millerrmann]

I completely agree. Dave changed it up a bit. Dave also played the acoustic guitar on Hendrix's version.

[@ronf3908]

Frank's version is my favorite hands down

[@hal1740]

Saw him in concert a couple of times during the late 70's early 80's. He was phenomenal talent. Always very memorable concerts. Dragonfly was a fantastic tune, and has always been known for his version of Norwegian Wood. Great video, Thanks for posting.

[@jameswalls9468]

I would recommend "It's Begun to Rain"

[@mooncritter721]

I smoked a joint with Frank back in 1975 he was playing a small hall in Michigan. He just hung out in the crowd before going up on stage. We went outside and got baked. I had no idea who he was. Then he went up on stage and smoked the place with his music! That was a fun day!

[@bryansmith5980]

I forgot all about Mahogany Rush. Many years since I have heard any of there music.

[@amccord1543]

Just happen to run across your site while watching Frank Marino! If you want to really know what this Gentleman was all about, KZbin Frank Marino + Mahogany Rush / Strange Universe full album! Sit back, take the time, and you will experience one of the broadest examples of what a true '70's rock + roll guitarist was capable of! I was lucky enough to have seen him at Constitution Hall here in DC, back in '79 or so! When he played the Star Spangled Banner, with the incoming bomb sounds coming from his axe, it was incredible! I think that can be found on the net also! Anyways, found you interesting, and will be back!

[@millerrmann]

Dave Mason, who played acoustic guitar on Hendrix's version, did his own cover of this song.

[@ejohnson3837]

The album, Strange Universe is great also.

[@paulmorris8762]

Joe Bonamassa and Steve Vai both said Frank inspired them to learn to play guitar

[@RSGill1903]

I got to see Frank Marino back in 1975. Had no clue who he was. Frank & Co. opened for Black Sabbath. After watching Frank, watching Black Sabbath was anti-climatic. 47 years later, I can still remember that concert clearly because of Frank Marino's killer guitar skills. Severely underrated. Ted Nugent & Frank Marino were on tour together and Ted wanted to do a guitar duel... like in the movie Crossroads. To put it mildly, Frank ate Ted's lunch. Totally smoked him. You should watch Frank play Johnny B Goode. He kills it.

[@jamesdenecochea5709]

I've been A HUGE Frank Marino/Mahogany Rush fan since the beginning. Totally underated & unknown by most people(thanks to radio programers, Hendrix-worshipers & lack of label support)... Frank is certainly well-known by "the fans" & other guitar players. No doubt, that he's on a very short list of "GOAT"(IMO). I once had a girlfriend that was connected to Mahogany Rush through her ex-husband...I "tip my hat" to you, Sue. You were an amazing woman. I'll never forget when I introduced you to the members of The Jefferson Starship, as you turned to Craig Chaquico and telling him: "well, you're getting better, but, you got a long way to go"...hard to compete with Frank Marino!

[@miguelmccullough5417]

How about Emperor. IV ?Live at the Agora! Just an amazing anthemic sounding song. A masterpiece. Nobody could duplicate Emperor Iv live!

[@drivingiscommercefuckgoogl1397]

Greetings from Cal. After Hendrix died he showed up. Initially there was a LOTTA negativity because he did Hendrix too Hendrix and people thought it was blaspheme and rip-off. Saw the band the first time in 75 up in SF at Winterland. He tore the place up. He an Robin Trower happened about the same time. Trower down one Hendrix path, Frank Marino down another. Their Mahogany Rush Live album melts paint. NOW, if you wanna see Hendrix reincarnated then check out Randy Hansen. NOTE FOR NOTE, VOCALS FOR VOCALS AND HE EVEN KINDA LOOKS LIKE HENDRIX, notwithstanding his grill. You'll see/hear. Back to Frank M and Mahogany Rush, he/they're just too fuckin good. You ain't heard Johnny B. Goode until you've heard the cut from the live album. Be careful when you play it though cuz Uncle Chuck may just knock on your door and wanna come in and listen. Yeah, you can raise the dead with that tune.

[@DaleBrotherton]

Frank does the best Jimi Hendrix covers hands down. He covers ARE You Experienced, Bold As Love and The Wind Cries Mary on his DVD and nails them. A must see/hear.

"The Answer" is one of my favorites. I personally like this version better than the Hendrix version. The guitar is better, vocals more gritty, arrangement more creative. I was in the front row when Frank played Winterland in the 1970s and he had a strobe light on him and he was spinning his guitar around in the strobe light and it was freaky cool.

[@LesKrupa]

Distinctive tone, unheralded, one of my staples in high school. Supposedly someone at his record label made up some crap about being Jimi Hendrix reincarnated and it may have hurt his career some. Dragonfly is a high quality one. Something’s Comin’ Our Way off What’s Next is a great one too.
