Marty Friedman performs “For a Friend” LIVE @ City Winery in New York City on 2.4.25
Marty wrote this song to pay homage to Jason Becker, – his dear friend, ex-bandmate from Cacophony, and phenomenal guitarist who since 1990 has had ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).
Although Becker can no longer play or hardly move, he still composes music using his eye-movements through an ingenious technology his Dad created. Jason Becker is a living miracle, not only living but still thriving – perhaps the longest person ever to thrive with ALS now going on 36 years.
**December is MARTY MONTH to celebrate his Birthday on December 8 – and All Month we will be sharing rarely seen LIVE concert videos from earlier this year right through to the New Year!**
Marty Friedman has an awesome band that has been together since 2020, which is:
Marty Friedman – 1st Guitar
Naoki Morioka – 2nd Guiar
Wakazaemon – bass
Chargeeeee – Drums
This is the 284th installment of my “Great Performances” series, where I upload my own personal LIVE footage from past concerts of great musical artists I’ve covered either through written articles and/or direct interviews.
