I normally listen to progressive rock and rock rock/heavy metal, but there's something about Michael Franks and his music that I just can't stop listening to it. His music makes you want to just lie back and close your eyes and forget about all the troubles in the world.

This reminds me of my two experiences of seeing him live in St. Louis, Mo. and Detroit, Michigan. It was basically the same positive vibe of musical ecstasy. Wishing him to return for another tour of the states soon and very soon. Your music of Love is needed more than ever now based upon the unpleasant and unrest within our country. Let's bring Peace, Love and Joy back to all people within this world of ours.

@gouduleme2 4 года назад

Ah ! Il a fait nos années 80 celui là ! Je regrette juste qu’il ait viré à 98% brésilien... parce qu’il ne fait pas vraiment du vrai brésilien mais des progressions harmoniques ultra usées... Bon il reste immuablement agréable à écouter mais ce n’est plus vraiment de la west coast comme les 80’s quand Larry Carlton jouait Lady wants to know.... Dans son dernier disque il a prit Otmaro Ruiz : le pianiste qui a porté la poisse à tous les artistes connus : Gino Vannelli, Alain Caron... Bon je reste fan, mais ses derniers albums sont trop confinnés dans cette soupe brésilienne dont il ne sort plus, sauf quand RUIZ l’embarque dans un jazz cliché et lui coule sa légendaire rythmique, comme Vannelli : Ruiz avait réussi à lui vider la salle en 2 minutes... Bon , Francks reste mon idole quand même !

This is wonderful. I first heard Michael Franks in the early 80's, when a friend lent me an album (the art of tea I think). Anyway in 1985 when I went to New York to visit my friend who had moved there from Ireland we had the good fortune to see Michael at the Beacon Theatre. Always remember it, as if it was yesterday.

I first knew about Michael Franks in 1982, when I was working on my first job in a bar owned by an American guy called John Bosword, and when one of his sons brought a tape (At the time there were only L.Ps and cassettes), I was mesmerized by the music. I couln´t find anything in Colombia in those days, so I waited until I went to live in Switzerland when one of the first things that I got were his albums. Until now when I have all of his music in CDs, those LPs are my biggest treasure. Thanks for the opportunity of seen him in concert.

What an incredible video many many thanks for uploading. I think Michael Franks is a hugely respected artist. He attracts the very best musicians in the same way as Donald Fagan and these guys are right up there with the best. What a shame Steve Logan passed away at such an early age, IMO he is seriously underrated/unrecognised and the same can be said of Clint De Ganon, absolute monster musicians.
