Since the mid 70's I have seen Frank Marino 5 times through the years. The 1st 2 time were around 1976 at a small club called the Hollywood Palace just outside of Baltimore. The show was sponsored by an old radio station WKTK 105 and the door cover charge was $1.05 each night. This was my 1st time seeing him live and he was the best guitarist that I have ever seen. I have been a dedicated follower ever since the beginning of Mahogany Rush. There are a lot of great guitarist, but he has remained my favorite for 43 years.

@jamesclarke - He came up with the name of Mohogany Rush due to extensive LSD use and was actually hospitalized for a bad trip and was describing how he was feeling and he said "
“It was a description of the acid trip I was on—I told the doctors I was having ‘mahogany rushes." This is a good read on his life - https://www.guitarworld.com/magazine/perfectly-frank-frank-marino-sets-record-straight-about-his-career-music-industry-and-how-guitar-saved-his-life |
Thought I'd bump this thread because I found a copy of "Maxoom" in a box of freshly acquired "throwaways" at my local store. Also picked up "World Anthem". I dumped these 2 along with MANY others in the 80's as my music tastes were evolving back then. Also, records just were becoming uncool with those shiny CD's things replacing them. I see my first post had the WRONG link for a Frank Marino video. YIKES! WTF? These are PC sensitive times. No offense, but that ain't that the Frank Marino I'm talknbout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opVpTkoCCeo Forever live 70's high heeled, bell bottom wearing, mustached guitar gods. |
