I just saw Gino Vannelli in concert on Sept 2, 2023. He was GREAT!!! It was a very memorable and wonderful concert! Thank you Gino - you are the BEST!! His voice is STILL incredible and his backup band is fantastic. We had a great time. He is so worth seeing if you were or still are a fan of Gino's!! We saw him in a small venue and when the encore came we were "invited" to come up close to the stage! That was such a treat!

[@jillsalkin7389]

I saw Gino on September 1st last year, in Annaopolis. First time seeing him. Then, again this past June in NYC. Totally spellbinding!

[@g.belanger8302]

Gino was 26 years old when he sang the original, and 63 when he performed this version. I have never in my life heard a singer sing every bit as good at 63 than in his/her mid 20s. Just WOW

But there is also how you produced. for the Felt Forum in New York I used 3 Mixers. One for monitors, one for the room and me mixing only for Stereo TV. And even if it was mixed the Live recording is crucial for the sound techs as the EQ is affected by the venue and they have to work carefully so the final product can be Re- EQ if needed or just re mixed.

Gino Vanelli's Brother to Brother is like a movement from a Rock/Jazz Opera. But way beyond rock/jazz fusion work by other talented artists. The drummer is absolutely beyond five stars. Inspired musicians the whole bunch. For a live performance ... it's better than the recorded version. Simply electrifying and magical. I've been listening to Vanelli since the 70s. This is not retro legacy music. Its now. Timeless. Yes, absolutely classic but listen up ... Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Pink Floyd ... you get the association? The genius of their work never gets old, never dated. Decades, even centuries later, we never forget. If and when a time capsule of of late 20th century contemporary electric music is made, Vanelli's Brother to Brother will be included.

I grew up in the fusion era of the 70s. Had a huge stack of albums, Chick C. Weather Report. Steely Dan, B. Cobham, Zappa, etc. But I must admit that I listened to Gino on more occasions than the rest. Those rich chords were so mesmerizing I just couldn't get enough of his music. Long live Gino!

Beautiful and intense.. been listening to Gino since his first album. Hard to imagine getting chased by security started all this..fm Wikipedia "Vannelli and his brother, Joe, moved to Los Angeles in 1972. Desperate and broke, they waited for hours in the parking lot outside A&M Studios, hoping to get a record deal. When Herb Alpert, the co-owner of A&M Records, finally emerged, Vannelli ran toward him and gave him a demo tape while being chased by security guards. Alpert signed Vannelli and released his debut album, Crazy Life, in the summer of 1973."

how the hell does he still sing like this after all these years, absolutely breath taking

[@verapratt8798]

this is what I keep saying. I was at this concert! I couldn't understand why his voice sounded as good as it did when I first heard him in the 70"s!

[@marklumpkin6109]

He doesn’t. The band in this video is tuned down 1/2 step from the original song. Still an amazing singer by any measure.

Jesus......showmanship at its best folks....damn.....again....damn.

Gino come down to baja California! We love you down here! ❤

[@darrylchilders2532]

Thank you Gino and Joe, first of all for recording this song. You have no idea of the impact it had on me as a drummer and musician, since 1979....it never gets old

[@tovenrvik6336]

So true, it never gets old‼️Iv'e heard Brother to Brother as a 16 years old, four decades ago, the recording still feels fantstic‼️💎

This just knocked me out like the first time I heard it c.1978

Perfect jazz rock done by a couple of masters. Gino and Joe Vannelli.

It's my music to awake in the morning. Puuh this sound pushes energy in my veins and makes me feel happy.

[@robertchamberlain7202]

I grew up in the 30’s and so glad to be around at 90 to hear performers like this..

[@joseluis7309]

I was lucky enough to see this show in Argentina, it was spectacular!!! All my time as a music student I was a fan of Gino, back in the late 70's. And I still listen to it today, and it continues to generate the same wonderful emotion of those years. Thanks Gino & Joe Vannelli. God bless them!!!

[@MrCherryJuice]

And don't forget brother Ross. He wrote 'I Just Wanna Stop' and does/did sound for the band, which is why everyone I've met who saw a Gino gig said it was the best-sounding concert they had ever attended.

[@marcuso.424]

It produces goosebumps on my soul! Oh, my goodness, what we did with music? We destroyed everything. I prefer living in the past, “living inside this shell”. Bravo, Gino! Greetings from Brazil!

[@frankd.7088]

Just introduced my son and his generation to what in my opinion is one of the best performer and band of all time! Thank you Gino for 47 years of great music and memories.

[@petergala2147]

Lots of love for you Gino from 🇵🇱 Poland. Through this album I came to know you....it was 1978....and I love you ever since.

Gino has been a giant who has walked among us. A gentle giant, but a giant nonetheless. I've seen him in concert around a dozen times or so have met him a few times, and he is utterly charming. A phenomenal musician, and a guy who has worked very hard at perfecting his craft, and perfecting himself as a man. Bravo!!

[@jonhopkins6877]

Absolutely flawless yet they make it look so very easy while working their collective asses off! Superb.
