Mahogany Rush
by Grasshopper666 on 2010-12-07Sound Academy - TorontoI was pretty excited to see that Frank was coming to town for a show, so I quickly told my buddy he should come, and my one friend hadn't turned 19 yet so he couldn't come. The first half of the show was a bluesy jam session, followed by some Cream (Crossroads) Jimi Hendrix (Are You Experienced?, Bold As Love), and STRANGE UNIVERSE! After Strange Universe, Frank began a really cool, atmospheric guitar solo that left everyone mesmerized at the end, and rightfully so; it was an excellent display of raw emotion and talent. This led to the finale, a big long jam of Amazing Grace. The graphics in the background were also very cool, a nice psychedelic picture show for the people of that era. I guess maybe I'm just young (19) and don't "get it", but I would have loved to see Chains of Space or Tales of the Spanish Warrior, i.e. some other early Mahogany Rush tunes, but it was still an amazing show and left me in a daze until a few hours afterward, I'd definitely go for something like this again.
