I wanted to thank you for the wonderful show you did at Antone's Saturday night. As soon as you started playing I knew I did the right thing to come out. This was an excellent show and I'm sorry I could see more shows. Perhaps next time. I also enjoyed the chat with the bus driver. He's pretty cool. Keep playin' and we'll keep coming to the shows!

Frank,

Went down and saw you in Dallas at the Granada on 10/7. You were really wailing!! You also have a great band. It was the first time I've seen you live.

I don't have anything important to say, I just appreciate the fact you are still out there rocking. I was (am) a big Tommy Bolin fan and I was devastated when he died. It was a shame and a waste, so to see another of my favorites frim the 70's (YOU) still going is special.

Keep it up!!

Glad to know you are still around and playing as well as ever. God Bless you mate !

Frank, I was fortunate enough to have been in attendance at your show at Antones in Austin on Sat. night. Thanks for a great show and I must say, you are still the man !!! The tune you did where you played the faux slide was to say the least, incredible. I bet over half the people in attendance don't know that you weren't using a slide. I'd also like to thank you for your extended set. Most acts come in, play for an hour and a half and are off to the next town. You on the other hand played for 3 hours and never took a break. You obviously enjoy playing and it shows. Thanks and Good luck, Dan Tipton

THE SHOW IN AUSTIN SAT NIGHT WAS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN FROM FRANK,IT WAS AMAZING,THANKS FOR GIVING AUSTIN A GREAT A TRUE PLEASURE

Hey Frank just stopped by to say hello and i hope your summers gone well for you,Tina and i will try to see you again soon,The Pittsburgh Blues Festival was great this summer Thanks for a great time,Hope to be seeing you again soon,Tim and Tina Lambright.

I saw Frank at the Galaxy in Anaheim, CA last week...no words can describe the show; just what my friend said to me after tapping me on the shoulder during, "GuitWar"..."This guy does what ever he wants with that thing, doesn't he!"

Yes, yes he does!

Fine performance!

Dearest Franksters,
I hope this gets in the guestbook. Damn, Frank's too bad/good. I was 14 in 1978 when I bought FM&MR (Live). It changed me from a geek to a rock and roll mad man. That was almost ... well figure it out. On October 1st, I turned 43. My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I told her Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live. She's 66 and she pulled it off! "Rock and Roll."
God bless Frank and his Fans,
Jeff D.

Hey ya Frank, How's bout that Real Super Ultra Live DVD so's we all can jam with ya'. Havn't seen ya here since the summer '92.

Hi Frank:
We just witnessed an amazing show of yours at The Rhythm Room in Phoenix last night. My friends told me I would be blown away, and we truly were. And what a show, three hours straight with only two guitar changes, no breaks, straight-on Mahogany Rush heaven. Thanks for signing our copy of the Strange Universe CD, it will be treasured. Keep up the great work, you are a gifted musician and you have fans everywhere who appreciate your music.

When I was 14 years old I bought the LP FMMR Live. I turned 43 10/1/07 and when my mother asked me what I wanted, I told her FMMR's LIVE 1978 CD. At 66 years old, she pulled it off. "Rock and Roll"

Unbelievable...

We saw Frank Marino Saturday night in Santa Ana at the Galaxy Theater. We were totally blown away!

This was the best Frank performance of the three I've seen since the late 70s. He did play with a backup guitarist (who also plyed electric violin)--kind of had me doubting at first, but it did enable him to stay out there "in front" with a really full sound the entire time. Good choice.

The songs were amazing...he pulled out some of the older tunes like "Poppy" and created intense, emotional, psychedelic jams. It seemed at times like Allman Brothers or Greatful Dead...very jam-band, psychedelic rather than hard rock fare. He pulled off a killer medley which included instrumental excerpts from Santa's She's Not There, Doors' riffs and the blues staple Crossroads. He even threw is a little Cat Scratch riff for the old war monger. At one point the the bass and other guitarist left the stage and Frank just riffed with the drummer for about 15 minutes. Holy sh...

Some of the songs he played in semi-sorta order:

The Answer
Land of 1000 Nights
A slow blues number that totally ripped (don't recall the name)
Dragonfly
Poppy
He's Calling
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Talkin' 'Bout a Feelin'
Red House
A New Rock and Roll
Electric Reflections of War
World Anthem

I know I've forgotten a couple... He/they played about two hours--usually not even stopping between songs.

It was amazing. We are still just blown away by the tight performance, the nice arrangements, song choices and the sheer talent. Frank is better than he's ever been, IMO. Just WOW! I could not help but think of my old friends and how much Frank's music formed us as fledgling adults. Even got a tear in my eye during the great solo rendition of World Anthem.

This was a night I'll never forget, some 30 years after first seeing Frank live and probably 35 years after first hearing his music. My wife is is from a different culture and did not grow up a rocker like I did. She was probably more taken by the performance that even I was. She said she felt downright guilty that the tix were only $20 each, and that next time she'd buy six just for her admission.

Catch him at the Rhythm Room in Phoenix on 10/4 if ya can. I wish like hell I could make the drive back to my old haunts there. I'm trusting a couple bros to represent my stoke there.

Cheers to all Frank fans, to all involved in getting Frank and the band on the road, and to the band and for their hard work which made such a splendid time for all in attendance. Special thanks to you, Frank, for not forgetting us.

ROCK ON!

i hear the sound all around the voices in my ears

Hey Frank,

Boy I just missed you in Milwaukee, but you need to make it up here to Minnesota. Would love to see ya.
