Frank Marino And Mahogany Rush-Live (1978)

Frank Marino is one of the best guitarists and at the same time most underrated in rock, at an early age he would take his first steps in music playing the drums, which he would exchange for the guitar as a teenager.
His influence of Jimi Hendrix's style has always haunted him, even the tabloid press came to publish that at 17 he was induced by the spirit of Hendrix himself after a trip with LDS and was the one who taught him the technical knowledge of the guitar ( this absurd theory has always been a bad joke to Frank Marino himself)
However, it is true that his very personal style is loaded with large doses of psychedelic adrenaline and a lot of blues, something that was characteristic of Jimi Hendrix.
In 1970, he founded his band Mahogany Rush with which he would publish a dozen albums, all of them intense works where his fast and fluid pentatonic touch and a great number of large-scale pyrotechnic effects were the characteristic of his unmistakable style.
In 1978 he published this "Live", recorded during his world tour of the previous year presenting the album "World Anthem", and where he made an excellent review of the most select of his career with the Mahogany Rush.
In this live show, Frank Marino is shown as a prominent guitarist, showing an excessively instrumental fluidity and to some extent aggressive, as well as a devastating rhythmic section supported by drummer Jimmy Ayoub and bassist Paul Harwood, who make this recording stunning and a of the best live recordings of the 70s.
