The reason Gino Vannelli had and continues to have great drummers is because he is a percussionist himself and arranges his music. He and his brother Joe are completely underrated musical visionaries of modern music.
@@marklumpkin6109 HELLO . I rate GinoV ⭐ and his band among the greatest all star power on my list which is : Paul McCartney, Smokey Robinson, STEVIE WONDER, Michael Jackson & Quincy Jones ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ of course there are many more I so love❤as I listen to a host and VAST range in varieties of music and musical arrangers and conductors world wide . Instrumentals are my love 💞 Dave Grusin would be top playlist there FOR SURE 😊 BUT top 5 world greats .... Believe me GinoV ⭐ is on the list ! Brother to Brother blows my mind everytime I hear it ! Bravo 👏🏽 I lived in Canada a big part of my life and I love ALL my Canadian Artists❤. They all possessed something special... George Michael & Andrew Ridgeley...are you kidding me ...make that top list 6 ⭐ 😅
Boy, you just don’t see stuff like this nowadays. Complex tunes with fusion textures, 75 different chords, and rock power, and an unabashedly hairy-chested Italian-American messiah frontman clad in white dancing like a mixture of Travolta and Nureyev while singing falsetto about brotherhood.
This was like throwing together Earth, wind and fire, George Benson, Rush, Santana and a front-man who looked like Elvis but dressed and had hair like Robert Plant - no wonder it was too difficult for most people to understand and classify! No problems for some of us though - bless you friends for your great taste. ❤
Yep. When it comes to music, I'm a bit selfish. Actually like it that the majority did not really get it. It makes the music more.....mine. Make sense??
@@bradparker6156 Growing up in the South when the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker and Skynyrd were all the rage, my friends were like what is that you're listening to? They just couldn't grasp the intricacies and sheer power of his music. Grew to be a fan of jazz and credit Gino with starting me on that journey.
@@dougglenn4954 Nice to hear from you Doug. I was around 10 years old when Gino hit what I perceive as the peak. The "Crazy Life", "Poweful People", "Storm at Sunup", "Gist of the Gemini" to "Brother to Brother" sequence kinda went over my head then. Fortunately, my 10 year senior bro' planted the seed that only blossomed 10 years later as I acquired all of the above ("Gist" has always been my favorite) Now the stuff seems timeless. I may not listen for long periods, but when I return, the music is as good as ever. "Pauper in Paradise" still goes over my head, but now after chatting, I'm wondering if I may now finally be big enough for that too. I can only thank Gino for what we all recognise as something really special. Thanks to my brother too... Gino's work all had strong jazz influences, so it makes sense that I like you developed a penchant for that genre. Fusion really does it for me these days, CCEB, RTF, WR, PMG, YJackets etc.... But there'll always be a very special place in my heart for Gino...
This is the best example of : At this level, it doesn't matter whether it is rock, pop, dance, jazz, progressive, whatever. This is an art. Wow, a group of the highest caliber. Everyone is amazing here but the drumming by Mark Craney (RIP) is just superb!
That was NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!! I've always loved this song and will always love. What happened to our music these days. The groups and solo artist can't even compare to the days of old.
No one has played liked this before...during...or since. This was live, and it sounded just like the recording. The looks, the voice, the DRUMS, the guitars, the keys...the words/music and composition. They had it all !! I saw 4 of his concerts in San Antonio in the 70's (dunno why he liked it here so much...but kept coming back). The music rocked, the girls loved it as much as I did. And you had to be there...but his stage presence and dancing was perfect for the show! Best of the best
Holy smokes, I got the chance to see Gino Vanelli once at Southern Miss in the 70's and boy his concert was the MOST thrilling concert I ever saw! The emotion, the passion, the shear joy of hearing the music of his music to this day 40 years later was amazing!
Nobody has matched the drumming of Mark Craney and it was so natural and easy for Gino to sing all those amazing falsetto notes back then. The whole band was another irreplaceable band of the 70's.
I think Graham Lear is worthy. Although Mark Craney is incredible in this performance...some Billy Cobham drum fills there on the toms...5 stroke double rolls.....oh yes!
Amen, brother. I'm a little late chiming in agreement with you, but - Yes - the drumming is insanely good. I came here by way of Rick Beato's "Everything Music" channel where the bass fills from here were in amongst his greatest bass lines review. No one drops the ball here. Every aspect of this song is terrific musicianship.
Gino always had phenomenal drummers!! I think his brother Ross, played for him a bit too!! The bands sound was unmatched in their heyday in my opinion!! Ginos voice was the icing on the cake!!
Totally agree, but what about Mr. CARLOS RIOS?? His talent and skills shine all through B&B album, in an unique and priceless form, nobody like him thereafter
Dunno hey.... The Carlos Rios solo on the studio recorded version is absolutely legendary. Up there with the best ever in my opinion. I broke my brother's cassette playing and replaying just that guitar solo.. ( We had a real Brother to Brother moment there as he connected with a solid left hook..)
@@bradparker6156 Oh yes, the guitar solo on the album is perfect. Jazz fusion at its best. It's bone dry, no reverb, no delay, in-your-face and it sounds awesome.
Not with the capital G , but i agree with you he s something like above human with the perfect physique and of course Gino is drop dead handsome Plus that powerful voice and tremenduos universal appeal
Im a fairly typical black American raised on r&b, jazz, gospel and hip hop but Gino got me on this album. I own all his material and he is in my top ten artists male and female of modern times. He is Truth
How did I miss this? I'm 52, so I was radio-hip; I had my 45s; I listened to disco; the Six-Million Dollar Man was my favorite show, and I was about 10 when Star Wars blew everyone away. But somehow, I missed this stunning masterpiece. Ain't RUclips great?
Another man with similar story. Born in 1969. I discovered this masterpiece only several years ago. Blew me away and Instantly became one of my top 10 songs. All star band as well. RIP, Mark.
Saw him @ The Forum in LA around '78 or '79 he was also in white outfit...great concert...i was by myself but sat right next to these two LA girls and hooked up with them and partied all night long...what a blast..luv the 70's...
It's safe to say I was obsessed with Gino Vannelli in high school and was always trying to get my friends to listen to his music. And yes, I had a poster of Gino on my wall. As a performer he has immense charisma. I had the privilege of meeting him after a concert and he was very quiet and humble.
This was the year of my coming of age with this band. Blew me away when I was 14...Still my top 5 for all time. Keep on going Gino!! I'll make it out to see you once...Brother to Brother
This has to be THA version of this song. Jesus! World class musicians! I find myself waiting for the "favorite" section of drums, section of keyboards, section of moog, the guitar solo, the bass, the chorus, and of course Gino's falsettos. One of those performances where the energy and vibe is just electrifying. Everybody is giving their 1000%.
I grew up on this album, we were a black family blasting Gino's album LOL!! wonderful lyrics, soulful music, and he was cute on top of all that. Go Gino!
Damn, Gino in his prime! Vocalist of the 80's Freddie Mercury, Gino Vanelli, Mic J, Al Jarreau and Clapton, these is no better generation for great music!
These guys are unbelievable musicians. Anyone that thinks different, has no concept of music. Gino and his band are one of the most respected by the best in music. This was my favorite album when it came out.
is it just me or have any of you who watch this video noticed look around and see the diversity in the audience that was unheard of back then Wow amazing!!!!
Gino Vannelli is just DYNAMITE!! I am in the Generation when he first came out in the 1970's as a teenager; The lyrics for this song fit like a glove for the Civil Unrest going on in the world today. LOVE GINO VANNELLI!!
LadyofValor I listened to him in the 70’s as a young teen. The only radio station that played his music in Kansas City (where I lived) was KPRS. It was nick named the Kolored people’s radio station. It was one of my favorite stations because it played soul and funk. None of my friends listened to this type of music. I was on an island for sure! I still listen to soul, neo soul (Badu and Jill Scott among my favorites) and Gino! I think his music speaks to many people of all ethnicities!
Brother to Brother is my fave of all his albums. I've loved this man since high school and see him everytime he comes to the Atlanta area. Still looks great... Performs great. Long live Gino!!
Brilliance! cant get much better then this, Progressive rock, jazz rock fusion, Gospel and soul and even some Disco miksed together!. This music is so Comlex and Technically demanding but it still speaks to all kinds of people, a rear gift that no one inherited more then Gino vannelli, The Genius of pop music!
Brother To Brother is in my top 10 of all-time favorite records. This video has drummer Mark Craney on stage with Gino. For me this is a rare treat. People like him come along once in a lifetime. May he rest in peace. I truely love this.
What a talent - what an artist - the voice - the passion - the writing and arranging abilities. He never ever got the recognition he deserved. I remember he was appearing in Dallas one night - so were Hall & Oates. My sister was a dj for the rock station in town - she and I went to see Gino. The rest of the crew went to Hall & Oates. It was the best show I've ever seen - may Gino sing forever....
That was NOT a 'band' playing 'music'...it was an ORCHESTRA playing a MAGNUM OPUS!...with the ULTIMATE tenor AND conductor at the helm...whose ENTIRE BEING was the baton! My goodness!...My goosebumps...have goosebumps!
drummer for Santana made me check out Gino Vannelli,so glad,not well known in England,crying shame.Can`t stop listening/watching "Brother To Brother",thnx.Lovely voice. Great band.
Gino was a huge inspiration for me when I studied music 20 years ago. I was young and extremely hungry for experimental music and Vannelli's 70s-stuff really delivered this. Even though I didn't listen to Gino's music nowadays as much as I did then, he still is one of my favorite composers and singers. Had the pleasure of meeting him twice and he signed all my Gino-albums. Sweet memories. Thanks, Gino! Your music and lyrics sure treated that teenage tender heart of mine into a thinker.
Pretty incredible that they were able to recreate this live and better than the album. There are bands that can do this today but none of them are in the spotlight and few of them are making any money. What sad times we live in musically. If that was all a historian had to go by, these would be considered the dark ages.
Viewed this for the first time tonight. Blew my socks off and I still had my shoes on!!!!!!!!! I so regret never having seen him live in concert. Absolutely tight as a ducks ass band!!!!! Gino sounds better live than on vinyl!!
As I listen to this, it reminds me of so long ago, of an era of music that I crave for and fear will never be the same again, but it was a brilliant time the nostalgic pains!!!! This Album is so beautiful, every thing from the arrangements, Harmonies, of course the bass and Oh the Drumming, Oh Da Drummer man!!!!! Unbelievable. Gino Vanelli, thanks for the great times.
HY, DONNA, I SAW IT, IN MEXICO IN 1991, AND I CRY AND WAS VERY HAPPY SINGING, THEIR SONGS SO, THAT WAS MY MOST HAPPY DAY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, I WAS IN LOVE SINCE 1974, WHEN I KNOW ABOUT HIS MUSIC, THEIR TALENT, AND EVERYTHING, THANKS TO MY GINO. WITH ALL MY LOVE, FERNANDO
You've got to be friggin kidding me. How is it possible that Gino was a Pop Artist? This song and performance is in a league with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick and Emerson Lake and Palmer's Karn Evil 9. Absolutely mind blowing on EVERY LEVEL. Lyrically encompassing about making the world a better place in a spirit of love and brotherhood, musically pushing the absolute limits of rock, jazz fusion and Progressive rock, and this performance - what can be said other than Mercury, Bowie, Roth and the greatest, most dynamic front men in the history of popular music.... Absolutely Mind Blowing!!! THANK YOU GINO VANNELLI!!
funny you should say that .. I just remarked on another video that I consider this song to be better than Bohemian Rhapsody in the "epic song" stakes. I would much rather hear this awesome piece of work than Queen's masterpiece.
The album Brother to Brother was truly ahead of it's time! Mark Craney was awesome. The drumming on this this album was simply breath taking...even now! RIP Mark Craney, your drumming will live on
Awesome! I can barely make it out but it looks like there were about a total of ten extremely talented musicians, including the amazing and powerful backup singer. Pure talent expressed all throughout! But, please let’s acknowledge all of the sound recording engineers and video technicians that worked so hard behind the scenes with little if any recognition. Those people brought all of this exquisite live performance and musical ecstasy together for us to share and enjoy still to date. I thank everyone that was in any way shape or form involved with Mr. Vannelli and his talented brothers’ well deserved success. Pure musical genius!!!
The reason Gino Vannelli had and continues to have great drummers is because he is a percussionist himself and arranges his music. He and his brother Joe are completely underrated musical visionaries of modern music.
Totally agree. Genius music and sincere thanks always
Lol. Who has underrated them? Never say that again. Ok?
I love this man and ALL of his music. GENIUS!
But Graham Lear is a great drummer!

My dear friend Mark Craney such a great drummer this is his masterwork!
They should focus on him in the video. His drumming is what makes this a great song.
I agree ! That drumming was off the grid when it was released! The dancing is annoying and dated Mark drumming still fresh a masterpiece!!
Gino Vannelli shows us what a Masterclass in showmanship looks like !!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
Brother to Brother is definitely the Mount Everest of the Pop Music! No one climbs higher.
Rick Beato brought me here....I knew a couple of Vanelli's more pop songs from the 70's, but this gem....omg
Recorded at Detroit's Cobo Hall in 1979. I was there and it remains one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
I was there too but, I couldn't get in! LOL! (Cobo Hall Detroit) I then went to Emily's across the street and had a conversation with Poo. ;)
I was also at that concert...absolutely incredible!!!!
You lucky fellow! 🙏
I was there too!!! Best concert ever!!
That is so cool! I never heard this band before today and I am so impressed how tight they are.
That has to be one of the most electrifying drum performances I have ever seen......just absolutely jaw-dropping.
hahahah. yeah the drums are definitely pretty impressive.
WHAT drums? All I can see is a beyond gorgeous man in white! 😄
@@LoveABun haha
Mark craney, or not ? 😊

Exact same story. Born in 70. Elvis died on my 7th birthday, saw Star Wars, remember the first time I heard We Will Rock You, but missed this.

No doubt a masterpiece in composition, arranging, and musicianship. Great things have no fear of time.
Did anyone know that Gino Vannelli is also an amazing drummer. When he chose Mark Craney, Gino knew exactly what he wanted!
Absolutely incredible! I loved Enzo Todesco too!#
This band was light years ahead musically.
Not really. This is very 70s. Still not a bad thing at all. Yes had been doing similar if not weirder things for a while.
@@kipwilliamson5737 This is jazz rock, not progressive rock.
@@JCAlexandres King Crimson fused jazz and hard rock in 1969
Great to see Mark Craney getting the appreciation and love. Amazing drummer!
Rest easy brother Mark. I remember his days with Jean Luc Ponty
MC was one of the best rock drummers of his day, cited by Neil Peart as an influence, and yet he never got the credit he deserved. MONSTER player.
Yup,Brother Mark swingin' it and bringin' it!!! RIP Mark.
Probably the best song in the history of this world ever !!!
At least one of the KILLERest bands ever.

ITS NO WONDER WHY I STILL LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC TODAY

This was the year of my coming of age with this band. Blew me away when I was 14...Still my top 5 for all time. Keep on going Gino!! I'll make it out to see you once...Brother to Brother
The drumming is out-of-this-world!!!
RIP MARK CRANEY- MARK SET MY STANDARD IN 1979 WITH HIS PROWESS ON THIS RECORD.
One of the most underrated artists of all time ✌️
This has to be THA version of this song. Jesus! World class musicians!

And after all these years Gino STILL sounds as great. Saw him last year in Beverly Hills and it was amazing.
+Ronald Burnette lucky you! I'd wish he'd come here :-) (Belgium)
The drums are probably the best I've ever heard. Mark Craney lives forever. Great arrangements, Darryl Stuermer in the guitar, awesome.
Yeah that's Daryl. He's great... played all of Hackett's lines when he toured with Genesis.
I grew up on this album, we were a black family blasting Gino's album LOL!!
wonderful lyrics, soulful music, and he was cute on top of all that. Go Gino!
Timeless - the balance of fusion here is A rate!! The rhythm section here kicks ass - like Santana!
Damn, Gino in his prime! Vocalist of the 80's Freddie Mercury, Gino Vanelli, Mic J, Al Jarreau and Clapton, these is no better generation for great music!
Gino is incredible and sells out everywhere he plays to this day.Canada considers him a "national treasure"...
I agree.just wish Canada would take "justin" back
Correction: Gino Vannelli is a "National Treasure" for the World.
Before Rush, Van Halen, And all your favorites, this guy was killing it!! Yet you all were sleeping in the 60"s This guy started it all!!
No one "felt" the music more than this guy...amazing!
These guys are unbelievable musicians. Anyone that thinks different, has no concept of music. Gino and his band are one of the most respected by the best in music. This was my favorite album when it came out.
I still have most of his music on my iPhone! I'm a die-hard Gino fan!
Eric Turner me too an album that I play and play and never get tired of it simply amazing!
The best of the best since I saw him for the first time in Soul train!!! what a talent!
is it just me or have any of you who watch this video noticed look around and see the diversity in the audience that was unheard of back then Wow amazing!!!!
Gino Vannelli is just DYNAMITE!! I am in the Generation when he first came out in the 1970's as a teenager; The lyrics for this song fit like a glove for the Civil Unrest going on in the world today. LOVE GINO VANNELLI!!

I’ve been listening to Gino, Phyllis n Luther for over 40yrs. Never get enough
I have literally driven blocks out of my way to listen to this entire song on the way home. The new arrangement on Best & Beyond is amazing, too.
Brother to Brother is my fave of all his albums. I've loved this man since high school and see him everytime he comes to the Atlanta area. Still looks great... Performs great. Long live Gino!!
Tadaia does he come to ATL frequently? I’ve never seen him but loved his music she nice the late 70’s
in Britain, Gino was looked at as a musician's musician--I was turnerd on to this group by a musician and every one i knew loved Gino and the band.
Mark Craney, drummer. RIP. What a performance.
It is amazing that the "Brother to Brother" album was recorded 40 years ago. It has held up very well.
Brilliance! cant get much better then this, Progressive rock, jazz rock fusion, Gospel and soul and even some Disco miksed together!. This music is so Comlex and Technically demanding but it still speaks to all kinds of people, a rear gift that no one inherited more then Gino vannelli, The Genius of pop music!
Nicht zu überbieten. Beste Live Version. Der Schlagzeuger, der Gitarrist und die ganzen Musiker treiben mir die Tränen in meine Augen.
Only saw him 3 times, in the 70's...
This is musical genius of the highest order….
It couldn't happen now - music this challenging being enjoyed by that many people. We've lost something along the way.
Our collective intellect took a hike. Music like this is way too deep for today's audience
what a talent....All the things he can do with his voice. His personality, his looks. Amazing man.
Thank you for your sincere compliment and your love, I am not complete without you as my fan, for whom I must be very grateful

the drums in this are criminally underrated
Saw him play in Miami back around 1976. Best concert I have ever been to!
Saw em twice...in 1975...storm at sunset....81....in Fort Worth. One of the greatest bands of all time!
What a talent - what an artist - the voice - the passion - the writing and arranging abilities. He never ever got the recognition he deserved.

Beautiful beyond belief. Way ahead of it's time. Such a confident talented man! A zillion BRAVOS!!! Love it!

Even though I didn't listen to Gino's music nowadays as much as I did then, he still is one of my favorite composers and singers. Had the pleasure of meeting him twice and he signed all my Gino-albums. Sweet memories. Thanks, Gino! Your music and lyrics sure treated that teenage tender heart of mine into a thinker.
Gino is from another planet. Transcendent.
This a fine example of a drummer lifting the whole thing with his energy and spirit.
Rick Beato brought me here.
The musical was awesome and the lyrics was tight everything about this song was just right 70s groove 4 ever.
just incredible a master piece, not to mention how utterly gorgous he is good grief ha, you are the man, great musicians
Pretty incredible that they were able to recreate this live and better than the album. There are bands that can do this today but none of them are in the spotlight and few of them are making any money. What sad times we live in musically. If that was all a historian had to go by, these would be considered the dark ages.
Brother to Brother....the best Album produced ever !
What a voice! Love everything about Gino and his band!
How it was done back then. 15 piece bands, lead guitarists with Afros and mustaches. Gino rules.
Humongously underrated, the best of the bests and unique.
Waoo is amazing, almost nobody talks about Mark Craney ... incredible drummer. Super accurate It is a pity
Mark was amazing. Those toms really cut through on the fills. Brother to brother Gino's best.
I remember hearing this song as a kid in the 70s...and I've been listening to him as a adult for 30s since! I have to get my Gino fix in everyday!
Viewed this for the first time tonight. Blew my socks off and I still had my shoes on!!!!!!!!! I so regret never having seen him live in concert. Absolutely tight as a ducks ass band!!!!! Gino sounds better live than on vinyl!!
I've listened to this guy since I was about 12. Never get tired of it.
Awesome!!It didn't take a wrinkle!Still so powerful for believing in brotherhood!
Thanks for sharing
Daryll Stuermer on guitar !.Awesome !
As I listen to this, it reminds me of so long ago, of an era of music that I crave for and fear will never be the same again, but it was a brilliant time the nostalgic pains!!!! This Album is so beautiful, every thing from the arrangements, Harmonies, of course the bass and Oh the Drumming, Oh Da Drummer man!!!!! Unbelievable. Gino Vanelli, thanks for the great times.
HY, DONNA, I SAW IT, IN MEXICO IN 1991, AND I CRY AND WAS VERY HAPPY SINGING, THEIR SONGS SO, THAT WAS MY MOST HAPPY DAY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, I WAS IN LOVE SINCE 1974, WHEN I KNOW ABOUT HIS MUSIC, THEIR TALENT, AND EVERYTHING, THANKS TO MY GINO. WITH ALL MY LOVE, FERNANDO
one of the best singers..such a voice..such a music!!!!
You've got to be friggin kidding me. How is it possible that Gino was a Pop Artist? This song and performance is in a league with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick and Emerson Lake and Palmer's Karn Evil 9. Absolutely mind blowing on EVERY LEVEL. Lyrically encompassing about making the world a better place in a spirit of love and brotherhood, musically pushing the absolute limits of rock, jazz fusion and Progressive rock, and this performance - what can be said other than Mercury, Bowie, Roth and the greatest, most dynamic front men in the history of popular music.... Absolutely Mind Blowing!!! THANK YOU GINO VANNELLI!!

I agree ...wholeheartedly...those were precisely my thoughts he’s AMAZING 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
funny you should say that .. I just remarked on another video that I consider this song to be better than Bohemian Rhapsody in the "epic song" stakes.
I would much rather hear this awesome piece of work than Queen's masterpiece.
ca dechire un max !! non vraiment c'est le feu!! musicalité, arrangements, créativité, ces types sonts des démons,gino en tete!!!
The album Brother to Brother was truly ahead of it's time! Mark Craney was awesome. The drumming on this this album was simply breath taking...even now! RIP Mark Craney, your drumming will live on
Queen meets Return To Forever meets Rush all wrapped up in a Santana package with a Boston bow on top. How did I not hear about this until just now?
One of my favorite songs EVER.
Yeah Mark Craney is still one of my favorites!!!
Fenomenologija glazbenog izričaja... genijalan Gino,, Joe etc. neponovljiv scenko glazbeni koncert.. 🇭🇷
Mark Craney my favorite drummer. What a treat this is.
Music at it all time best!!! Bring it back please. The better the music the fewer the drugs!! Music is my drug
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh, what a beautiful performance Gino!!!! Always fan for 40 years now ;)
Awesome! I can barely make it out but it looks like there were about a total of ten extremely talented musicians, including the amazing and powerful backup singer. Pure talent expressed all throughout! But, please let’s acknowledge all of the sound recording engineers and video technicians that worked so hard behind the scenes with little if any recognition. Those people brought all of this exquisite live performance and musical ecstasy together for us to share and enjoy still to date. I thank everyone that was in any way shape or form involved with Mr. Vannelli and his talented brothers’ well deserved success. Pure musical genius!!!
