Gino and the band are mesmerizing!!❤

Mark Craney R. I. P., Powerfull song ad infinitum Gino like always Hero of the Music...

[@klhk6klhk669]

Mark Craney was so talented... So many things occurs when he plays, he creates a unique feel with his visceral non-academic drumming pulse, Pure Magic... One of the only musician that makes me feel something really deep and connected with a "From Beyond" Vibration

[@JoseBuergo_]

A masterpiece! Long live Gino Vannelli, Mark Craney and the whole band! Simply great!

[@goosegagaadam]

I come back here every so often when I need reminding of what it sounds like to combine elite musicians and masterful songwriting. Rip today's music.

[@doloresasiamah2586]

I absolutely love being transported into Gino Vannelli's Musical World, everytime I listen to his songs. Every note that he sings is instantaneous and soulful. This live performance of B to B, one of his many masterpieces, touches my whole being, to the core. The Wall of sound that I hear in this song, towards the end transports me to another (Higher level) dimension, as it were, of pure excitement, joy and bliss. I have to give mention to his powerful conducting, beautiful, delicious, magical vocals , beautiful look's, stage presence, and unique authentic, dance moves sends me over the moon! I did not experience Gino's musical genius until about 7 years ago. During the late 70's , I was pursuing my own music career in Roma, Milan, and other European countries. I never get tired of what I call, The Gino Vannelli Experience. For me, this, Man/Muscian, vocalist, song writer, is a pure musical, magical, master of his craft, and again , pure genius! The complete "package," as they say. Thete is no one like him on Planet 🌎 Earth. I just love ❣️ Gino Vannelli!

[@marymartin5098]

My greatest fantasy ❤

[@stevied2011ify]

Mark Craney was a friend and bandmate of mine. He was an incredible Drummer. He was such a generous man. One of a kind. His drumming is required study and listening. He worked at any level. I miss him so much. My story about Mark is. When we setting up or at soundcheck he would play around playing different grooves and he would mess up timing and make clams all over the place. I knew he was diabetic so I would ask him are you alright? If you knew him he had a deadpan sense of humor. He just ignored me. So again one time I asked if he was alright and he stopped playing looked me in the eye and said I don't turn on until we have to hit or the tapes Rollin. And it was true! When it counted he smiled and turned into a different animal. Quite probably one of the best Drummer's that ever lived! RIP Marcus Orealies

[@zerodefectmachine]

Great story, Stevie! Intentionally making clams and playing messed up timing. That sounds like Mark. I totally believe he would say that. He was so underrated and never received the accolades he deserved. He played so confidently and smooth, making the complicated seem a piece of cake. I never got the chance to see him play live, unfortunately. I regret that. What else can you share about Mark?

[@lajack5273]

The Swiss drummer that died young was also a hell of musician. Gino has always surrounded himself with great talent.. Didn't Michael Shrieve play a short stint with Gino?

[@landslug]

When he turned it on he was one of the best ever. These performances never fail to amaze and astonish. RIP 😔

[@momelstn4533]

@@lajack5273 his name : Enzo Todesco

Totally agree with you...one of the most underrated drummers, I am so thankfull he left his art for us to enjoy and never forget him🙏🏼☮🙏🏼 R.I.P. ( Rock-On In Peace) 🥁

This song is a perfect mix of Rock, Pop and Jazz

This song, arrangement and performance is spectacular!

[@regaltip8A]

There has never been a drummer that has played with more heart. Mark Craney one of the finest!

Totally agree, Villaboy. And, made it look effortless. Completely natural, without trying.

1 OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS OF '79...Mark Craney is a master!!!

[@zerodefectmachine]

He sure was. So underrated.

[@odeskoo]

@@zerodefectmachine yes u're right.

[@claytonlee]

As far as I'm concerned Gino Vannelli is the best male soloist ever. I live in New Orleans and I've seen him many times. He use to come here every few months to perform, he use to call New Orleans his second home. One Mardi Gras back in the 1970's he was the Grandmarshall of the Endymon parade, one of his songs on the "Pauper in Paradise" album was about riding in that parade. He may not move around on the stage like he did back then, but he's still one hell of a performer !!!! Gino #1 forever !!!!

[@zerodefectmachine]

I agree. Voice has gotten better over the years.

[@calvinchapman5138]

Which venue was this?

[@jjnola]

Really? I live in New Orleans and never heard of him spending time here.

[@ralfmenegatti9460]

This music is as mesmerising as it was 42 years ago...

When I saw Gino in concert, this was exactly what he looked like. So sexy and dreamy with a magnificent voice !!!

わたしの大好きな曲の一つです。 演奏も曲も歌も全てかっこいい

[@sonofelohim9857]

I grew up around music in our home everything from gospel music to the Beatles, Elvis, Elton John, Aerosmith and all the Motown sound, in 1979 i was 16 and i knew what types of music i liked, my cousin had "Pauper in Paradise" and "Brother to brother" and i wore those two records out, man i love Gino Vanelli's music my cousin is gone now he passed away back in 2018, i always think if him when i play Gino's music, it's wonderful & beautiful how music can make the movies of your life replay in your soul and you can re-live what used to be, good music touches your soul in a good way....... Thank you Gino and all those who made his sound unique and timeless.....

Il piu grande capolavoro!Agree!

[@79SteelyMatt]

Mark Craney was one of the best drummers ever such timing and fluid playing-very missed and very underrated(1952-2005)-you will always be missed by the fans who really understand how great of a drummer you were-I judge people by their answers of their ten favorite drummers ever and if Mark isn't one of them then I really question that persons knowledge of music-Mark was an absolute beast behind that kit- you are truly a legend

[@alexisluca26]

wow 79steely i totally agree with you!!! He wasn't mentioned in Mojo's top ten best drummers....on the other hand neither was Michael Shrieve (Santana - Woodstock 1969, Tanglewood 1970, drum solo in 'Soul Sacrifice). RIP Mark, your talent and musical contribution lives on....

[@jjsiegal1]

Indeed Mark was a Innovative and revolutionary drummer. Lots of drummers copy marks licks and riffs.

[@rongreen1103]

Missed yes...But never under-rated. Mark was amazing and any drummer that knew of him knew how amazing he was...During his time a lot of great drummers were coming into their own. Vinnie, Jonathan, Weckl, JR, and so many others were already into Mark....Never under-rated...

[@Angelinasings]

I was there- incredible memories ❤❤❤

[@robertweedman8043]

Top to bottom greatness!!

[@thurney4343]

Wanna be drummers will appreciate....this guy was top notch. Strange, I never see Craney's name on any top ten list! He should be there. Fantastic drumming on this song.

[@zerodefectmachine]

Yes he should!

[@landslug]

Gone too soon, he was really one of the greats.

[@GTTg-kr2xh]

Had he lived longer, he would be in the top ten. So young and so talented - Gino ban was top notch and Gino let him run with it throughout the whole album.

What an era for music! I am not sure that anyone has ever played better than Mark Craney! RIP

[@quicksite]

Yeah but according to youtubers, whoever the current drummer has been on this amazing song, THEY are the greatest of all time! Just look at live performances after Mark passed away. He's never mentioned. That's to be expected. Generally people on youtube know about as much as what transpired in the past 48 hours. For those of us who grew up listening to Gino, Mark was always a tremendously powerful part of that whole unique sound.

[@lindahandley5267]

He is one beautiful man with a beautiful voice. He puts me in a good mood! 🌹❤

[@timothyzerr7824]

I hand never heard of Gino Vannelli till I had the privilege of playing bass in the studio with the great drummer Mark Craney. My intuitive skill level shot up while warming up with him before we recorded. What an inspiration.

[@zerodefectmachine]

Awesome! Can you tell me more about your studio experience with Mark?

[@landslug]

As a bassist too, I can't imagine what it it must have been like to play with someone like Mark

[@perryhailey6715]

Mark Craney……… a fav of Weckl. Some recommendation that! Gotta love Craney

Late Mark Craney .... one of the best!

[@deborahharris-hall386]

[@zerodefectmachine]

They are heavenly!

[@cristianv1078]

All them are incredible

[@doloresasiamah2586]

The back ground voices sounds as if angels descended from the heavens for me to hear, beautiful, other worldly sounds. To ths day, I have never heard background vocals more beautiful, more superb than these talented Queens possess. Ever! I might be wrong but I don't think I ever will.

[@BassistPaul]

Lucky enough to have seen Vanelli in the UK in the 90's when he made a rare trip to London. The man's a legend (and with respect) - I don't think non-musicians can fully appreciate his talent.

[@flemmingerichsen8621]

Guitarplayer is Darryl Stuermer. He plays with Genesis and Phil Collins. Great player. 👍

[@TRespalto]

... and Jean-Luc Ponty. My favorite Stuermer era is his time with Ponty.

Mark Craney.

[@sportz2493]

From the Mark Craney website, his own words about this tour: "Brother to Brother In May of 1978, I got the gig with Gino Vannelli. It came about when I decided that maybe I could get back with Jean Luc Ponty. I called Ponty's manager, who said he'd just hired the drummer from Gino Vannelli, Casey Scheurell. I knew that Gino was on A&M Records and would need to replace Casey, so I called my friend at A&M, and a half hour later I was talking to Gino. The next day, I went out to Gino's house and he put me under a microscope, playing drums in a bedroom of his house with his mother, father, two brothers and their wives watching. It's a unique kind of pressure, having somebody's mom staring at you. But I got the gig. In 1979, I did the Brother to Brother tour. I got married that year, and I was also teaching and recording whenever I could, trying to build a foundation. Working with Gino was the most high-pressure, demanding, precise drum gig I ever had, and I loved it. Because Gino is a drummer, I pretty much got to play whatever I wanted, and the drums were always the second thing in the mix, after the vocals. Gino was a fun guy to be around. A nice guy. I love them all, the whole family. A great bunch. They really know what they're doing."

[@sweetoneloves6811]

Listening to Gino sing is just like he just made his song today. This is what you call real Entertainment. I was a kid when my family exposed me to his music. I grew up listening to all of Mr Vannelli music. thank you so much for posting your article. DAILY i LISTEN TO GINO.

[@stevemccoy3156]

Mark Craney was and is unmatched by any. Tasteful,explosive ....in such perfect execution..He truly was the master..Not Gadd or Weckl or any other ....Thanks Mark...

Vannelli was lucky of getting Craney on drums. Triying to compare him with Casey seems a joke.

[@youngchool]

+Stormwatch153 And Eddie Jobson too! RIP Mark, we miss you.

[@Stormwatch153]

Young Choe Of course, I'm sure Eddie brought a tons of his own material for the A, but (sadly) he is not credited anywhere, and being just "guest" musician really doesn't suit him...for example, ending of Uniform and mind boggling complexity of Pine Marten's Jig I'm surely are the Eddie Jobson inventions. Also I would not be surprised if more-less complete album is done by his and Martin's Architecture...Ian has showed that he doesn't like strong competition in the band, so this might be reason why Eddie was featured on one album only.

[@eggbertOmonkey]

***** I remember my friend Kevin (who's already pretty small and a drummer himself) ducked down and sneaked past the security lines when the band was coming out after the show. He ducked and ran over to Craney to shake his hand and say, "good job, man" and ran back out. I had forgotten also how good Daryl Stuermer was.

[@zerodefectmachine]

Watching that smoking hot Gino Vannelli whom I saw in concert in early 70s

[@pablotorres7436]

Gino Vanelli solo hay uno, pero no tiene un solo estilo. Abarca varias cosas. Pero en su periodo inicial fue de un Pop Jazz Fusión (rock+ funk + latino +soul romántico). El canadiense es uno de los más grandes músicos que conozco. Hacía su propia música con la colaboración de su hermano tecladista. Gino es baterista de Fusión Moderna principalmente (de ahí toda esa locura de ritmos) pero escribe en piano y guitarra sus canciones. Estudio en su Canadá natal música en la universidad, egresado de Teoría de la Música. Es uno de los más grandes cantantes que he conocido. Ha grabado algo de Bel Canto también, por ser de ascendencia italiana, creció con eso en casa... Mark Craney baterista en este concierto, todos los elogios por que tocar así es para pocos... El mega famoso solo de guitarra de Brother To Brother, lo grabó el muy esquivo Carlos Ríos (latino de Puerto Rico si no recuerdo mal). Este solo es, para cualquier guitarrista que se presente para una audición con Gino, cuando necesita de un nuevo 'axe man', el requisito número 1. Si puede tocarlo 100% como es, se prosigue con la audición... Ríos no aparece en este video (no he visto nunca videos de Ríos con Gino, quizá solo en estudio participó pero no salió de gira). Es un guitarrista de muy bajo perfil y que parece mas se dedica a enseñar. Poco ha grabado o se lo ve muy de vez en cuando. Muchos lo conocemos solo por Gino Vanelli y por haber grabado las primeras canciones de la Elektric Band de Chick Corea... En una entrevista que fue muy raro la haya dado Carlos, dijo: "Yo empecé en el Blues Rock, pero cuando se cruzó en mi camino Black Sabbath con su guitarrista Tony Iommi, eso fue lo que me sacudió hasta los cimientos. Yo soy zurdo como Tony y hasta por eso me compré una Gibson como la que él usa... Por él me enteré de la existencia de Django Reinhardt, ya que fue su motivación para seguir con la guitarra después de un accidente de trabajo en el que perdió las yemas de tres de sus dedos de la mano derecha. Así fue que me empecé a interesar en el jazz. Ya ves que Tony ha sido fundamental para mí y siempre será la primera inspiración que tuve como guitarrista... Empecé a aprender, estudiar y a tocar jazz, pero no en guitarra de caja, sino directamente en mi Gibson, que todavía la tengo guardada como tesoro. Soy entonces lo que supongo tu llamarías guitarrista de Jazz Rock o de Jazz Fusión, y eso está bien para mí, por que toco formas de jazz con rock y con eléctrica más distorsión"...
