Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Solo Batfest 2008 Austin, TX BAD ASS Check it out!

[aronosky69]

An old friend said to me, "Frank Marino is the white Hendrix". He met Frank @ a $1.97 concert in Jax Fla...Good times Kevin! Jammin' to Mahogany Rush and Kiss...

[doublej706]

Everyone expects him to come out shredding his ass off. He's taking you along on a journey with just his guitar, the recording quality isn't the best but just close your eyes and listen.

I don't recall ever seeing a pickguard like that on an SG before? This performance is quite sad.... What happened Frank?

The 27 people who liked this video were out of their minds on acid. I loved MR in high school and pulled out my albums just the other day (low and behold I also found a big fat one right along with the mix!) It brought back lots of memories.....good stuff. This video sucks ass and it sounds more like fingernails on a chalkboard....yikes!

[reachlee90]

@hpygolkyone Yes the audio blows. All I can say is that for true FM fans, you had to have been there and it is really frustrating to not be able to present audio in HQ along with the video. With what I had to work with, it is really frustrating to share the impact of what Frank presented to the world from Austin, Texas USA and without interference from security or HQ. Thank you for checking out the posting :)

cant hear anything this video is garbage. How come the home videos made in thwe 70 and 80s cound better than anything in this decade? what a joke get a vid recorder that works !

[OfficialFrankMarino]

Thanks for posting.

The tour name was Rock & Roll Marathon"...the newspapers said it was more like a sprint since the opening bands played about 30 to 40 minutes...When it came to Atlanta's Omni, Frank was swapped to a supporting slot behind home town Mother's Finest and was pretty ticked most of the night....Marriott's new version of Humble Pie was pretty good, but one of Frank's better gigs....

[CrashTestChris]

....woops...NOT one of Frank's better gigs.

[notafraidoffuture]

Too retro-Maybe it sounds better if you are stoned out of your mind on acid or something but its not my thing

[usframe]

lol, maybe you should be notafraidofthepast, also!

At a guess, Frank wrote/performed this over 30 years ago.

This set is somewhat expected by FM followers when seen live.

[MrSainttyler]

@usframe

'77 and '78 to be exact judging from the release date. Starts off with a version of "Electric Reflections Of War" and after quite a few things to " World Anthem" and then some. Excellent stuff!

[oldschoolwhig]

Dude! Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) at 0:45 !

[christianplysgtr]

oh my GOD , goose bumps on  goose bumps what else can i say???

[barrydawoodsman]

me too man me too goose bumps

[EddieShark666]

Hendix, Clapton and FRANK MARINO oh yeah!

[rlsage]

Daytona Beach 1979, blew our minds.

[weaselpopper]

This starts off with the Guit War solo off of the Child of the Novelty album into some other things.

Seemed like Frank did a album a year for the longest time. I always looked forward to them because I knew they would be great. I was never disappointed!

[justdam7]

The final G3, Marino, Vai and the Sacth.

End of story

[stonepolismusic]

Frank would smoke em' no doubt!

[montage5150]

I saw him in 1979 in Dothan, AL. I was about 14 at the time. Mind-boggling then...mind-boggling now!! Frank ROCKS!!!

[headj7]

Interesting, I was there. The Battle of the Bands tour. Mothers Finest, Angel, Steve Marriot's band, I can't remember their name, and Marino. To this day I have seen anyone as relaxed with a guitar as Marino. What he did with a guitar was out of this world.

[gbrown4x4]

I second that operating !!!!!!!! He's the man.

[ConditionalID]

One of the greatest living rock guitarists on the planet. Always was, always will be.

[lindaharris26]

saw him on the second gig of the 2008 tour in london, ont. canada...did this...it was great...thanx for uping this! rock on eh! russ.

[meunier6]

Marc Weber, the best bassist in Quebec!!, hes my teacher, nice job

[madlynvilareal]

yes brother i remember him. he is badass!

[drmusic]

Frank Rules,All others Drool LOL

[operating]

I saw him for the first time in Omaha, NE last month. I am now a lifelong fan, as if I wasn't already from the recordings, but he tore that city down. He just came out and played. No BS. No posing. The REAL DEAL! I've still got goosebumps just thinking about that concert. If you are into the guitar, you HAVE to see this guy. Unlike anything you will ever see.
