I just linked here from the Dirty Blues website, and it all came back to me. It was the tour that "Mahogany Rush Live" was recorded from, 1970-something, and Frank was opening for Aerosmith in Seattle. I didn't know who Frank was, but as the lights dimmed and Frank took the stage, I sure got a quick lesson. I stood there slack-jawed and completely in awe as this man proceeded to absolutely blow the audience away. By the time it was over I was emotionally spent - completely drained and trying to put into perspective what I had just witnessed; the greatest power-trio arena rock show performance I had ever seen. To say it was anti-climatic when Aerosmith began to play would be an understatement...I walked out, and have been a fan ever since.
