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!!!!
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?
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.

Tell em henry
I wore out so many Juggernaut cassettes. Love this guy
greatest musician of our time. 48 years a fan.
You know it!
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
If those jazz riffs don't give you goosebumps nothing will. Masterclass!
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.
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!
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
This is probably my favourite video on UA-cam.
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.
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 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!
Love the transition from sweet sad blues to optimistic jazz improv. I am an older guy and have loved Frank's music for years.
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..
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!
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)
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
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 😄
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
And that Kids , is how it's done . Thank You Frank .
Today's music doesn't have soul, Frank Marino always has soul !
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.
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
How did I get to 48 without hearing of this guy? First time I meet him, he melts my face clean off!!!
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!
Come on, let's be honest. This is the most musical thing on the whole internet.
One of the best guitarists on the planet and a wonderful human being to boot. Still praying for your healing And peace Frank.
Close your eyes and float off to a faraway place where all is well and guitars are in control
Wow what can u say this guy the band is totally the complete thing to have the gift to playing and singing the way he does I'm sure the angles in heaven smile when they hear his music got to love it play on Frank praying for the healing you need to cary on #1
Saw Frank and Mahogany Rush back in his heyday...couldn't hear for 3 days. I'd do it again.
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 😊
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 ❤
I just ordered the Agora DVD box - bit expensive with shipping, and once it's in Europe 21% tax must be added over the total amount, of course.
But it's worth it - Frank Marino has definitely deserved retirement, and if this helps, then all the better 😀👍
Thanks so much for all those years of phenomenal music and musicianship, 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 🖖👌✌️👃🖕
LOVED Frank's band Mahogany Rush back in the 70's!! "Norwegian Wood" was one of my favorites!!
Highly recommend Live at the Agora where this came from. Best 6 hours of guitar mastery you will ever see.
That is one of most amazing performance's that I have ever seen..
More Frank.......
This DVD is worth every cent
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!
A 50 year old young one here. Franks touch and sensibilities on the fretboard......so good. ✌️🎸👌
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.
One of the absolute best guitarists ever, and one of the nicest and most humble persons I have had the pleasure to call a friend. The band members are all epic as well. Rock ON Frank and Band. Thank you for all of the incredible music and inspiration over the years. 🙏 ⚡ 🎸
@DFV Louderilk He said last summer he has an "unexpected and debilitating medical condition." Marino fans are likely to know more by now. I honestly haven't been following any additional news. Sad to hear, though.
@DFV Louderilk He rescheduled the tour for 2021, before announcing his retirement on June 30, 2021, due to adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder). "I’ve got 50% movement in the arm," he said in 2012. "Although I have movement, I haven’t lost the pain. I’m in constant pain 24/7."
@@majoneski ...the..shoulder condition..was brought about from spending..hundreds of hours in the studio...re-doing missing drum parts that through a tech recording fault had gone missing from..the Agora Theatre DVD.So the ..DVD...truly was a labour of. love.This is the story as far as I’m aware.May the Lord Have Mercy on Frank’s shoulder pain...and Bless him with the Grace of Holy Peace.Amen.
Legend musician...had the pleasure of being introduced to his amazing talent in the 70's ...
Thank you for this comment you said it the best!!
FIRST SAW FRANK N MAHOGANY RUSH BACK 1971, IN THE SMALL TOWN OF PERTH, ONTARIO. I WAS SIXTEEN N THEY WERE THE BACKUP BAND FOR LIGHTHOUSE….. MAN IT SHOULD OF BEEN THE OTHER WAY AROUND . FAVOURITE ALBUM…. TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED… 52 YRS OF ROCKIN MY WORLD
THX YOU FRANK 🖖
Frank stands out in the front row with the best of them no question.
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!
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.
I can’t believe there isn’t 10Million subscriber’s to Frank! There aren’t many guitarist that can pull that off. The melodic clean sound that jazz players have and the mood to die for. Get well Frank!!!!!!!!!! May the Lord be with you and keep you. Prayers are out for you. With much love and gratitude from a fan that has seen you 5 times.
Amen 🐝🌈💫
I commented if Under rated is ever gonna be used on Y/T It’s this guy. He’s a beast. I think part of the problem is his bands name. Rush- Mahogany Rush at 18 and stoned to the bone, who knew.lol.
@@fuzzybutkus8970 , I did!!! From the beginning. My best friend put me on to them in the early 70’s.
Get well?? Is he having health problems?
@@tonybarber420 , a debilitating shoulder as where he only had 50% movement and in constant pain.
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.
That solo brought a tear to my eye. I pointed to the phone and yelled "now that's tasty!" as he launched into the solo. Frank, I wish nothing but the best for you. Whatever it is you're battling, I truly hope you are able to overcome it. ❤️
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.
Great stuff from a living legend.
WTF! Just when you think there is nothing left in this world to inspire you. Amazing..
Perfect example of Frank's brilliant diversity of guitar mastery. MESMERIZING!
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 mean…..probably the greatest rock/jazz/fusion/blues player there has ever been….bless you Frank Marino…..truly awesome….
❤❤❤ Absolutely fabulous one of the great guitar pieces so atmospheric same league as Parissiene Walkways. And Samba Pa Ti . Crosses Borders bravo
I bought this DVD and had it autographed all for a hundred bucks you can't beat that.
I think god touched this man’s heart and soul bless you frank
Agreed
Agreed too.
The most underrated musician in the world. Frank is unbelievable.
WIITHOUT A DOUBT, ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED INDEED!!! 🖤🔥🤘🏼
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.
This is by far the best version of this song I saw him with mahogany rush at Curtis Hixon Hall in Tampa 1977
amazing rock jazz blues mix
No one can listen and watch this video and say God doesn't exist. The sheer incredible talent. The 70's had Frank Marino, Ronnie Montrose, Robin Trower, Pat Travers, and so many more. I saw Frank Marino once. The ability of these wonderful guitar players to make a crowd of 10k young partying people listen in silence is a tribute to their ability. To mesmerize the lucky ones hearing and observing it. Damn, I miss it. What a time it was.
Well said my friend, well said.
@JoeM-by5tw.....Hell yes!!! Every one that you named epitomized the 70's sound!! Phenomenal musicians!! 🖤🔥🤘🏼
I've been a drummer since 1964. Man, this is sweet. I'm not religious, but, AMEN!
I was so lucky to have seen both Ronnie and Pat appearing at a small venue in Tacoma. They performed within two or three months of each other. I was amazed that the owner of this club , which at one time was a Flakey Jake's hamburger place, got these superstars to play there. They were two of the best concerts I've ever been to. It wasn't too long after that I heard of Ronnie's passing. God bless the greats.
God doesn't exist. Great guitar players do. Here is some proof.
I was at a Frank Marino concert where in the first 4 minutes he had played every note in the music language, then invented some more. After the third song, the whole band left the stage to take a break, then Frank did a 15 minute solo. towards the end of the solo, the band got back on stage then they started a song with another 15 minute solo at the beginning of the song. He was sooo in love with playing, the look on his face was just awesome!
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.
That was excellent. What i like about, that,it was as much jazz as blues. Also, it had feeling, to it.
Good grief what a guitarist... my top 1 !!!
Bought my first album 1974 Strange Universe.. all I can say is hat's off to my old friend you're beyond this world!
Speechless
A true genius.
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…..
Wow Frank Marino! How long… I arrived here by chance… I've always considered him a great guitarist since I was a kid… maybe, unfortunately, not very well known. I have always loved (and love) his playing, his sound and his voice too. I remember when I first heard Mahogany Rush IV (I was a kid) and literally go crazy for Dragon Fly. I bought all his records ... I heard that he is not well due to diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) ... it's very painful. Frank, I wish you all the best in the world! You’ll make it!
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 love the contrast of weight and melody in his soloing; 70’s rock becomes jazz. Great playing, beautiful song.
True musician.. who plays concerts
Not shows 😂🤣😂
Love Frank. Genuine soul.
You’ve come to the right place.
Saw new Frank Marino upload! Clicked with no delay and was not disappointed in any way, marvellous music from expert musicians but my god the memories came flooding back. So much classic Marino phrasing done with new aplomb. I loved this and want my youth back, time to pay homage to Frank Marino once again, I'm going to lose myself in his music again...
What a privilege it must be to be that Gibson!! God speed brother in your journey!!
Aloha from Hawaii,
2023 - 1 year ago I came here, back again.
Great guitar player 🎸
I keep watching this over and over...INCREDIBLE!
Wow, this is fantastic! Just wow. I pray Frank's health improves completely and we'll see him back on tour.
I swear there's a magic in his music that brings me there to the beautiful past I've never lived through ...
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!!!
No one like Frank Marino.....simply no one 😊 omg that guitar sound is heaven on earth, we are so blessed to have had you fill our lives with your music 👏😃
I can’t give it more like’s!!!!! A sin
For me blackmore schenker Gary moore ,rik emmit ronnie montrose evh satrianni page hendrix
The most underrated gutarist,singer,songwriter, guitar toneist,.know body has his style swag, perfectionist his musicians he hand picks.he knows his pedals,father, family man to walk the face of the earth.....and most of all so Humble....I hope I didn't leave anything out.
Frank Marino is scorched Earth guitar at its best. I first heard his stuff in 75. I’ve never seen him live. But I’ve always known he is as respected as Hendrix Moore Halen Winter Page Clapton Beck Vaughn Montrose and all the fathers of progressive guitar. And that’s what it comes down to - respect then and now. Thanks Frank!!
I saw him live in like1977... I had great seats and got his whole show up close..great guitarist..frank Marino and mohagony rush...
Fantatstic, It's just a joy seeing Frank play.
This piece is incredible, it transports you into an enchanting dream
Well done, Frank! Great band by the way.
♥ 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!
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
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
His not just one of the best guitar players of all time but also one of the best singers as well.Just an amazing unique voice.
Absolutely enjoy his singing!
What a soulful solo. Frank is a one of a kind on a planet with almost 8 Billion people. Proving that each Human is a "One Off" and there will never be another one exactly like them.
Frank, i have been a fan since 74!!!! Thanks for being perfect!!!
Frank we miss you sir 🎸
The canvas is the silence then the MR. Frank paints the atmosphere with the band and it fills my soul with the joyful colorful master piece this is still the art work of Frank Marino. It. Would be a so nice to meet a concerned and skillful musician even just for a second to tell them thank you. Danny
Glad to hear you great 👍
This is a testament of one of the greatest musicians of our times. You all know what I'm talking about. The Feeling.
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. 👍
I remember when his 1st album came out, it totally blew my mind! It was like listening to Hendricks. Then saw him in Winterland and was a fan for life 😊
May the ancestors continue to keep you cloaked in strength love music laughter health balance family focus light passion and fearlessness keep shining Frank
Many (most...?) guitarists have some part, or parts, of the neck where they slow down a little... because they're not 100% comfortable with some passages (I know I do...). But Frank doesn't seem to have any such issues, it's amazing what a guitarmonster he is. Perhaps the best in the world... ever. He's my all time favourite...!
