I've spent a lot of time listening to Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush the last couple of days. This evening, via You Tube videos. I stumbled across this one. It's from his Live from the Agora Theater DVD. This was released in 2019 and features an incredible 6 hour live performance (for fans only  )! A labour of love, it took years to be released, partly due to a technical issue whereby the drum track was unusable. Frank started his musical career as a drummer and he painstakingly worked on restoring the drums which had to be synched to the performance. Unfortunately he paid a heavy price and was diagnosed with capsulitis of the shoulder (frozen shoulder) a couple of years back forcing him to retire from performing. He's lost 50% movement in the affected shoulder but worse, is in constant pain 24/7.
This is wonderful. From the 1976 album, Mahogany Rush IV, 'It's Begun To Rain'

Thanks for the music, Frank

I'd say Mahogany Rush IV - I absolutely loved that album back in the day.

Pendragon - Believe
Pendragon - Pure

Virtually impossible to recommend one!

 For earlier stuff, I'd agree with Slim and say Mahogany Rush IV...... or World Anthem. Later stuff, I'd go with Juggernaut and/or Double Live, which gives a good career retrospective (and is brilliant!)

If you like what you hear, you're in for a treat because there is a lot of stuff in the catalogue

AC/DC - Highway to Hell

Vinyl again:

Marillion - F.E.A.R.
Dream Theater - Octavarium
Bauhaus - Burning from the Inside

Orbital - Orbital 2

New Katatonia single, I love this band. Can't wait for the album to be released in January.
