Gino Vannelli

Gino still has an amazing voice. Not many left who can sing like he does. Great show. Packed room.

GINO NEVER DISAPPOINTS. I have adored this man for over 40 years and to be in his presence, hear him sing(and may I say he sounds like he did over 40 years ago) is just a dream come true! The venue is a perfect place to really hear the sounds...music, voice....OVER THE MOON!

Gino as always put on a great concert. He s a tremendous singer, songwriter and entertainer. I hope he comes back to the Detroit area again very soon. Thanks Gino.

His voice is the same as it was 30 years ago. He can still reach the highs with no effort. He is every bit as energetic and charismatic as he ever was. It was a joy to hear songs I've never seen him perform before (and I've seen him perform MANY times), like "Summers of My Life" and "Stay with Me". Just a beautiful voice and a beautiful man. I'll be a fan forever.

How does Gino do it ? Not age a day for the past 35 years in both looks and voice ! So fantastic with all his great hits from the past and some new ones too. After the show he signed autographs and took pictures with all. What a great showman and person to spend the time after the show to thank his fans. I will never forget this show and my man Gino. Can't wait to post my pix with him on facebook so that all my pals and sorority sis's from College will see that I'm still crazy bout Gino after 35 years !

i was 17 when i first started listening to Gino.. the entire show was amazing ..i cannot believe how he sounds exactly the same ..it was an unforgettable experience to see him and am thankful i had the chance..his voice was like being in heaven and cant wait to see him perform again ..i wouldnt trade the memories or feeling for anything in this world..thank you Gino !

Gino commanded the stage at the Bear's Den inside of the Seneca Casino and Hotel in Niagara Falls, NY. This intimate setting (443 seats) was a perfect way to see a real "singer." From the opening note to the end of the show, Gino did not disappoint. His band was on fire from tunes such as Powerful People to Hurts To Be In Love, to classics like Brother to Brother and Appaloosa. Gino's voice has never sounded better and at the young age of 58, he could teach "singers" half his age a thing or two. He reminded me of Tony Bennett in the way he addressed the audience and told a little history behind the songs and I mean this as the highest of compliments. He is as good if not better than he was in the 70's and I would recommend that anyone in the mood to see an amazing show, catch Gino. I drove from Detroit, MI to New York to see him and would make the trip in a heartbeat to see him again. Gino, you have a fan for life.

Hands down Gino Vannelli is the best musician/vocalist I have ever seen. This event was a close up and personnel venue, Gino has the same voice and looks the same as he did in the 70's. A truely gifted performer, I highly recommend seeing him if you have any interest at all in his music, once you do you will be hooked! Outstanding band members and Ross Vannelli does a top job with sound and stage lighting, this show is a must see!

Most awesome voice ever! Will see him every time he is near! Keep him coming back!!!

Was in the Mid-east and received email that Gino Vannelli was going to be in Niagara Falls. Hadn't been there in ages so decided to kill 2 birds with one stone. Took my ladyfriend who had never seen Gino. She was blown away. An absolute fabulous show. Gino surrounds himself with incredible musicians to complement his creative arrangements. Definitely a 5 Star show!!!!

Gino's second year at the Bears Den was just as dynamic and energetic as the first. From the ever-evolving arrangements of old favorites to his hip new material from "A Good Thing," Gino and the band, (with Reinhardt Melz on drums) delivered!!!! By now a regular treat for Gino audiences, he again entertained with his quick wit and personal stories but the crowd had the added honor to share a personal guided tour down "memory lane" led by Gino. Personal family photos were accompanied by a slide show and music sung by his father! Bottom Line - where are you ever going to attend a show with great music, a magnificent voice, a fantastic performance, and such a great guy!

Outstanding Evening with the Best! He and his band played to perfection which Gino always demands! Please come to Detroit!

I first saw Gino Vannelli in 1976 and it was a life changing experience. Being a musician myself, I thought I understood a thing or two about performance but I learned that night that I knew nothing! He truly showed me what was possible. He just did it again! For those who have never seen or heard of him, you're missing something. He has always surrounded himself with the best musicians because he has to. You can't play his music if your not at the top of your craft and that alone makes his shows worth the price of the ticket. But combine him, them and the Dears Den in the Senaca Casino and you've truly created magic. Gino Vannelli is a GENIUS!!!

The show was great and I had the previlege (by chance) to sit in on his rehersal. Yeah! Gino was very humble and I appreciated the meet and greet afterwards. No one ever does that. I only wished, he had sang more of his old music. I realize new is good but older is BETTER! smile Overall good show and I'll drive back from Youngstown, Ohio to do it again.

Musically, this show is always impeccable. Some of the finest musicians assembled anywhere. In terms of being sati dying for old- time Gino fans...not so much. But the addition of "Summers of My Life" is a big plus. The arrangements are always interesting. I for one, appreciate the experimentation. I'd just like to hear some of the old favorites..."Love Me Now", "Omens of Love", etc.

wow . 7 piecec band with him & amazing big sound reminicent of the daze of old. i am in awe that i could such a great show in such an intamate setting & for such a reasonable price. two & half hour drive & i looked to see if there was a single ticket left for the 2ed show so i could go again.

There is only one Gino and he was at the top of him game. He plays so few show, other three other venus this fall, but he gives you an all-star show. Great band, great room, simply amazing.

Traveled a long way to see Gino"s show. I was NOT disappointed. He was electric perfection. The band transported me into the Vannelli Mystique. Gino held the entire Saban Theater crowd in his hands. I was a witness to joyfulness. Playing timbales, Gino was definitely having too much fun! He's like a fine wine to be savored. What a show!!

My mom has been a big fan of Gino Vannelli for 40 years, I became just as much of a fan after we saw him live for the first time! He is a true blessing to the music industry; from generously engaging his band, to performing energetically to his music. The reflection on family time is so sweet, but how can you not expect that when his music is so much influenced by his relationships!

Outstanding show. Can't wait to see the next one. PLEASE SING MAMA COCO AT THE NEXT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE MEET AND GREET. IT WAS ALSO WONDERFUL TO SEE FANS FROM LAST YEAR AT THE SHOW.

Gino and his band were amazing! Definitely would see him again!

The show did not disappoint, Gino's musicality is amazing, he is a true artist. It is apparent that he continues to grow musically and to explore new styles. We enjoyed the concert immensely.

We saw Gino about 3 years ago in Palm Desert and absolutely loved that show. However, we thought the show at the Saban Theatre on March 24th wasn't as good. Gino has rearranged several of his hits...to the point where some of the songs were not recognizable. Sorry, but I want to hear the songs the way they were originally recorded. He still has a very strong voice and his band is superb. The Saban Theatre is a wonderful place to see a show. I just wish it was as good as the last time...regrettably it wasn't.

Gino's intellect and artistic integrity continue to blossom. His stage presence and connection with his audience is out of the love of his art.

Bought these tickets for my wife's birthday gift since she was a huge fan in the 70-80's. Gino didn't disappoint, still has a great voice and the band was so good! My wife totally enjoyed the concert and we stuck around a little longer after the show to perhaps take a photo-op but due to possibly being locked out of our parking garage which the attendant said closed an hour after performance ended we had to leave without a picture. Show was short (little less than 2 hours) and mixed with both old and new songs that included a slide show of old pictures of his career. One thing about venue, although beautiful the seats look original size and people were smaller back then so if your full size it's tight.

We remember Gino from the 70 s and his voice is still just as good at age 65. Slight problem with the sound in his mic, was hard to understand the words. Gino s Band was fantastic . Just like a jazz band. Sax was incredible ! Nice venue too.

Gino was excellent - I didn't know what to expect. Great voice, he doesn't even need a mic. Liked his play list but wanted to hear Power to the People and Mama Coco. Was not disappointed at all. Trying to get tickets for The Rose in Pasadena for Gino in August. I highly recommend if you have a chance to see GO!

This concert was a highlight of our Arizona vacation trip!! Excellent performances by Gino and the 7 supporting musicians. The sound quality and facilities couldn't have been better. Gino mentioned he has a new album coming out in September, so we just bought tickets to his Warren, MI performance in November!! Looking forward to see them perform again. Thank you Gino

The entire show was great. Awesome band. Didn't expect the voice to be the same..it's actually better. Gino looking great as ever. Go check him out!

The venue was awesome and Gino was superb. He is an unbelievable entertainer and his band is beyond good. Gino s voice is so strong and his show is so much fun!

I have waited years to see and hear Gino Vannelli. I wish I had done this sooner. He was without question, phenomenal. He can still command an audience, since like an angel and hit the high notes. His stage presence is warm and tender. He even shows slides of his journey to music and also his family. All the songs I heard through the years on vinyl came to life that evening. Wonderful!

I have followed Gino since the 70's have seen his early shows in Montreal and Toronto, Canada miss his brothers but his band is tight as ever and his voice is still outfreakenstanding!

Gino still has command of his wonderful voice! His band was incredible all night long!!! The venue was very comfortable.

Saw Gino at the talking stick resort showroom. Love this venue--sound is great and venue is not huge. It is my second time to see Gino here. Gino is one of my favorite artists and he was awesome. Played songs I recognized, but the arrangements were all different. Gino is very good at this sort of thing. Of course he had a killer band and they sounded fantastic. The only downside to the evening was a lady sitting next to us. She kept yelling and blabbing all through the show. Could not hear some of the things Gino was saying because of this loudmouth. Outside of that, a very fantastic show. Hope he comes back.

I expect nothing less than near perfection when I go to a Gino Vannelli show, just because his standards are so high! I have NEVER been disappointed! He's in his mid-60's and still in FINE form vocally. The band is TIGHT--the arrangements take the songs over the top. It's so great to hear the old songs, the newer ones and Gino's poignant, and humorous, stories in between. I was fortunate enough to also go to the soundcheck, which was wonderful. I appreciate that Gino is so generous with his time. He even stayed AFTER the concert to sign autographs and meet audience members. I am a musician myself, so seeing Gino is always a treat. As you can tell--I HIGHLY recommend the show! As for the venue--it was a great room for Gino to play, not really a bad seat in the room. The sound wasn't bad, either.

Phenomenal concert!!!! I will see him over and over again!!!!!

Gino was at the top of his game ! This guy hasn't lost a step. The band was terrific. This was such a great venue to see this show. Will see him again when he comes back. Thanks Gino !

We had our 1st Gino experience 41 years ago ; the man and his band still stir up the same passion; about life, in Gino' words, wrapped in pure soul, through jazz. Gino, Please come back to Michigan again,sooner this time. Love you & the band.

I have been to many of Gino's concerts beginning in the mid-seventies. This was by far his best performance ever. The band is so tight with every chord. It was awesome, the best ever.

Such a great talent! So glad he is still performing. Even though I have seen him in concert many many times since the 1970's I never tire of this magnificent talent. The voice is still as perfect and melodic as ever. His stage presence is mesmerizing, unique and entertaining. Loved hearing the hits and new material. Looking forward his next concert that is close to home so I can attend.

You always get what is expected from a Gino concert. Great performance, vocals, sound, musicianship. This concert provided insights into his life and character. Came away in touch with Gino and his band physically, emotionally and spiritually. Gino loves what he does and it shows. So glad he is still touring. Thanks for an absolutely great concert.

Outstanding talent across the board/stage and Geno made it up close and personal telling secrets.

Excellent show. Gino V. Is such an amazingly talented performer. His band is A+ also. I loved it!!!

How Gino continues to hit those high notes when many artists of the same era are dropping them an octave is an unexplainable force of nature. And the band is sheer perfection - it was impossible to suppress a smile when Jaybird Koder and/or Patrick Lamb let loose with a solo\u2026but why would anyone want to?

Did I forget to mention how handsome he looked??? Love!

True to his music! Musicians were on point! Loved his music most of my life. So worth the 4hr trip!

I have been a fan of Gino Vanelli and his music for a long time (since the mid-70s). When asked, I have always contended that the concert of his I saw in L.A. in 1978 was one of the five best concerts I had ever attended (and I have attended a whole lot of concerts). After seeing Gino on June 10, 2017 in Bossier City, LA, I would now have to say six best concerts, because this performance ranked up there with the last time I saw him. Not only does Gino still have the same range vocally that he had in the 70s, his band is amazing! He always seems to pick the cream of the crop of musicians, drills the hell out of them, and the effect is electric, to both musicians (like myself) and anyone who appreciates great music.

Great show! Live band was phenomenal! Can t wait to see him again.

Gino Vannelli is a master musician. He has a rare style that with an extreme range. His vocals are powerful and his bands sound is very full. It sounds like he brought a full orchestra. The only complaint is the event staff. Several of the staff in the balcony would talk loudly. He was often drowned out during the show which was very annoying when Gino was talking before each song by the loud talking.

Gino's voice was amazing. His voice had not changed one bit and was just as melodic as it was when I first heard his first album in 1973, "Crazy Life." The musicians were outstanding as well. Being a fan from way back, it would have been great to hear at least one song from his first album, but nevertheless it was not disappointing. I waited a long time and it was worth the wait. The venue has good acoustics and the seating is great. My one complaint is the waitress who was taking orders and serving drinks during the show. She walked right in front of the audience including the performer without even ducking or squatting one little bit. To me that was rude and disrespectful to all. Other than that, it was a great experience.

Great concert and venue. A must see. His voice is still the same and every time I have seen Gino he gets better. His band is wonderful also

Great show he still sounds amazing and has an extremely talented band.

I first saw Gino in 1976 while a student. I only went because I had a date who wanted to see him. She backed out at the last moment so I went anyways with a buddy. I fell in love with his music then. Fast forward 40 years and this time I took my wife. We played Gino cassettes while on dates so she loved his music too. The concert was FANTASTIC. His music doesn't get old. His band has changed over the years from synthesizers to guitars and drums but everything was crisp and wonderful. The band and Gino were totally in sync. The crowd was mostly in their 40's to 60's but hey, this is some of the best music to come out of our generation. I will go see him again the next time he comes to our region.

I have seen Gino Vannelli many times. And this was one of his best performances. His new band sounded great. The arrangement of the songs was perfect. This was his last show before he puts his new music out. Ross was his sound man, and it sure did make a difference. Looking forward to seeing him again.

...to give his all in concert. Band terrific as always.

Wow, what a musical experience! Gino is at a whole different level than the state of pop music today. His compositions, his arrangements, harmonic structure and the band are miles above the status quo of music currently. He is singing at a level that is the best of his career.People should put out the word to hear him while he is still active performing.

I saw Gino at the Carefree Theatre in the late 70s and was just floored with his personal interest in giving his audience what they paid for. I would say that this concert was literally flawless with his rich vocal sound. I am a singer also and I know when a performer is faking it, and Gino does not fake. His way of making his hits sound new is incredible.

Saw him years ago and he, his band, and sound were excellent.

Gino Vannelli was OUTSTANDING! Everything about the concert was incredible and mesmerizing. His voice is spot on, his band is top notch, and his gracious reception of his concert guests is unparalleled. This is the 2nd time I've seen him, the first being in the 70's in Phoenix. Even better today ~ a MUST SEE!

Not only was Gino fabulous...but the venue and crew running the show were outstanding as well.

Gino Vannelli is an extraordinary vocalist, writer, arranger and has surrounded himself with A-list players to form an astounding live band. While so many artists as they age, lower the keys of their songs or change certain riffs to avoid the more difficult passages, Gino never backs away or takes short cuts and sounds as good if not better than ever! While tour dates are limited, this show is well worth traveling to see if you get the chance. We came from Memphis to New Orleans and were not the least bit disappointed. Civic Theater in New Orleans is a very cool old venue with no bad seats. We were in the first balcony in the center and were very pleased. If I have 1 complaint it's with the sound engineer. The mix was a bit too loud for that room. One should not have to strain to pick out the vocal over the band, especially when the vocalist is the featured performer. I find it more and more the case that sound men are not able to find the pocket for everything that's happening on stage. That said, the band mix was perfect, just on top of the vocal a bit too much and the overall level a bit too hot. We still loved the show! Gino has updated the arrangements to many of his older songs and I found the changes to be fresh, relevant and very interesting. Nicely done without changing the song so much so as to become unrecognizable. If you're even a casual GV fan (as was my wife) I would recommend seeing him if you get the chance. I think any lover of great music will really enjoy this show. We would go again without hesitation!

The setlist and sound were beyond perfection! Gino's voice, and moves were as flawless and exciting as the 1970s. Check out the setlist below! He looked, and sounded great, and told funny stories, he is soft spoken, but manages to weave you into his spell when he is talking to you! Met him, and his awesome brother, Ross (who also did the phenomenal sound) after the show, they are classy, kind and so very professional, will always go to a Gino show when he is in my city!

HAVING GROWN UP WITH THIS MAN HE HAD A MAJOR IMPACT ON ME THROUGHOUT MY LIFE AND FOR THAT I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. SOME SAY HOW SO, MANY TIMES WHEN I WAS AT A LOSS FOR WORDS OR HAVING A DAY THAT WAS FULL OF UNCERTAINTY I'D LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC AND AS I LISTENED TO HIS WORDS AS HE SANG THE ANSWERS I NEEDED CAME RIGHT TO ME. I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE ABILITY TO FEEL SINCERITY FROM PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH I STILL TRUSTED THOSE THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE. BOTTOM LINE GINO VANNELLI SINGS FROM HIS HEART TO OTHERS AND LETTING MY HEART ALWAYS LEAD WAS EASY FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND. THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM WAS 25 YEARS AGO AND TONIGHT HE LOOKED THE SAME AND BETTER YET SOUNDED EVEN BETTER. MUSICIANS GET BUNCHED TOGETHER WHEN IT COMES TO OPINIONS AND STEREOTYPING FROM CRITICS AND PEOPLE IN GENERAL WHICH IS A BIG MISTAKE. THERE SHOULD BE A SPECIAL INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY FOR THE LIKES OF THIS GUY WHICH WOULD ALSO INCLUDE PEOPLE LIKE FRANK SINATRA, ETC. AND FINALLY BEING A PERSON WHO HAS HAD HIS DOUBTS IF WHETHER THERE REALLY IS A GOD OR NOT I'D HAVE TO SAY THIS CATEGORY WOULD ALSO INCLUDE ANGELS, YOU FIGURE THAT ONE OUT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. VANNELLI.

The Gino Vannelli concert at the Saban Theatre was the best show since I have seen since Gino in Detroit a few years back. He gets better every time I see him and his band couldn't be better. Gino should do more extensive touring across the US so that all his other fans can see just how good he is! The show was recorded for a future PBS Special and DVD..... Can't wait! The other cool thing was that his brother Joe came up and played 'Brother to Brother' with the band and his other brother Joe was back at the board.

Gino's concert at the Joy Theater was absolutely incredible! He sang my all time fav song :Fly Into This Night" and his voice is better live than recorded. At 61 years old he can still pull those high notes. The band was great too! Loved the lead guitarist--he seemed like he really enjoyed the music. If you love great music then Gino live is a must!!! We came to New Orleans from NW Georgia and it was worth every mile of he drive just to hear him sing.

Gino Vanelli was obviously very happy to be performing in New Orleans on Friday night at the newly renovated Joy Theater. He was energetic and enthusiastic and his voice was as clear and strong as ever. He has updated his music so all the old hits were fresh and never boring. His band was as tight and together as anyone would want. I had travelled from Houston for this show and never regretted it for a minute. I urge anyone who has an opportunity to attend one of his concerts to go by any means.

Gino is the consummate musician and his talent needs to be known once again! I know he is big in Europe but we have so many who are missing out in the US since he has been out of the spotlight. Please, please, please Gino, be a judge on "The Voice" or another popular program so that you can be enjoyed by others now. The Joy Theater did a fantastic job with the sound and lighting effects. Just perfect! Gino's voice, physique, appearance and accompanying band were exquisite. My husband and I went to NOLA for my birthday weekend. I was born on Father's Day and Gino's birthday fell on Father's Day this year. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINO! Your talent truly is a gift to us all :)

As a musician, I was a big fan of Gino Vanelli in the 70's. His recordings were some of the best produced records out there. And the songs....they still stand up today as pure genius. But, I hadn't heard much about him for a while, so I didn't know what to expect from the concert. When I heard his falsetto on the first song they played, I knew the night was going to be unforgettable. His voice is so strong and perfect, just like it always was. The band with him was absolutely killer. They were able to recreate every nuance of his recordings with perfection. My wife and I enjoyed the entire show. The sound, the songs, the performances, were all beyond our wildest expectations. I'm so glad he's touring again. I'll be checking to see if he has any new CD's out. If you get a chance to see him in concert, do it! Our show was sold out, so you should buy your tickets early.

So lucky to have seen this show! Gino...his music, his voice, his talent...is always amazing. He performed a good mix of old and new songs. Also loved that it was at The Variety Playhouse which is a great, intimate venue.

Was excellent; I highly recommend the Vanelli experience. His band behind couldn't have been any better, superb musicians. Gino's voice is crisp, clean and strong as ever! Was high energy, beautiful choices in diverse songs. They did not miss a beat!

I attended the Saturday show on Oct 6th 2012. This was my first show to see Gino and I still can't believe how amazing it was! The Bear's Den venue is the perfect setting to be up close and personal. The acoustics were perfect and Gino didn't disappoint. He has incredible talent and his voice is flawless. He has such energy and passion that he puts into his show and the fans reacted by dancing in their seats. I highly recommend seeing Gino. Meeting Gino and having my pic taken with him after the show made for a night I will never forget! I hope he returns for another 3-night run at Seneca. I will most definetly be there!! Great job Gino!!!!

I was so excited to see Gino Vannelli on Saturday night. I only wish I could have gotten ticekts to the Friday night performance as well. Gino was great, as was his top notch band that included a 3 piece horn section, drummer, bass player, lead guitar, and keyboards. Gino signed autographs after the show and spent a good 2 hours taking pictures and meeting fans, the music was amazing and the Bears Den is a great 400 seat venue to see a show. Highly recommend both

Sporting a new hair style and beard, Gino Vannelli rocked the Bear's Den on Friday night (10-7-11). He had his own new spin on his songs that were even hotter than last year's show. I so enjoy concerts at the Bear's Den because of it's intimate seating. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. To get back to the concert, Gino's voice was clear and strong and you can see that he "feels" his music while performing. He seemed to be in a playful mood while telling the story about his new hairdo. He apparently had it cut in Japan and let the stylist do whatever she wanted. He said that it had grown in quite a bit since the cut and that he was leary of seeing what she had done for quite a long time. After seeing it, he decided to grow a beard. I love it! His music is timeless, especially since he keeps updating the arrangements with his super band. I hope he comes back to the Niagara Falls area so I can see him again. This makes 3 times for me, including Artpark.

Not since he performed in the 1970's in Columbia, SC and Atlanta, GA have I seen him perform live. What a most excellent treat. I stayed at the Casino in NOLA for his two performances. I also was able to chat a bit with his band and believe it with Ross Vannelli. It was a most enchanting evening. I am just hoping he'll schedule a date a little closer to South Carolina but anytime he does schedule, I try my best to arrange it.

Upon the moment Gino entered the stage, it was magical! How he has kept his voice and stayed true to his musical values, all these years, is beyond comprehension. Recalling days gone by and allowing his audience a small glimpse into his private life through a slide presentation and all along having a recording of his Father to add to the mood (which was not revealed until the end of the presentation). The audience responded very well and he feed off of our energy, and I believe he truly enjoyed himself as much as we did! I had the pleasure of exposing another friend to Gino's talent ("modern Beethoven" which I had coined, all the way back in 1976), and she agreed!The best, was when, once again, he perfected every single note singing "Canto" with his beautiful voice and his written lyrics, I was simply moved to tears.

Gino Vannelli was in great voice Saturday night at his concert. He had remixed his hit songs to put a new jazzy spin on them. He is a great musician who you can see lives for his music. I enjoyed each and every song performed and never stopped tapping my foot and danced in my seat the whole evening. His voice is as clear and strong as ever, and along with his showmanship, presented his music for everyone to enjoy. I also enjoyed the intimate setting of the Bear's Den as opposed to a larger concert hall. Afterwards, Gino signed autographs and we even had our photo taken with him. The overall experience was fabulous and I cannot wait to see him the next time he's in the area. And he's a paisan who was born just 12 days before me!!

As always, Gino puts on an amazing show...You know how some performers don't sound as good as their records? Gino sounds better! The acoustics in the Bear's Den are great, and Gino appears to still have most of his 5 octave range, even at 58. He has such a pure, clear, emotional voice; add that to his astounding writing and composing skills, and you have an entertainer who will blow you away...and one who you can see loves what he does. You can't get any better than that!

He was very good and had a lot of energy. He showed this to the people there by also including stories on portions of his live

I've followed Gino Vannelli since the 70's, whenever he's in NO, we are there. He always says he loves NO because they supported him when he first got his start. He's a very talented artist from his voice which is still fabulous to the awesome instrumentals. I'm sure like most people would have loved to hear a few more oldies. He has an amazing guitar and saxophone player.

I have been a huge fan of Gino Vannelli for over 40 years, and he is still my favorite singer. He and his band always sound great; they play a nice variety of songs from several of his albums, and Gino's stories are always entertaining. This was my second Gino concert, I saw his Bear's Den show 2-1/2 years ago. I hope he returns next year in promotion of his upcoming album release this fall, 2-1/2 years is much too long between concerts!!! I will be at every future show--he is that good!! How fortunate we are to see our favorite artists at such an intimate venue!! Come back to Seneca Niagara, Gino!!!

Both Gino Vannelli shows at the Bears Den / Seneca Niagra were fantastic. The band was tight, sound was great, venue was very nice 350 seats all with great views of stage. Gino, the band and brother Ross Vannelli are all class act! His voice is even better now than back in the 70's. Between songs Gino talked to the audience and shared some life stories. Nothing fake about this guy. I love that he comes out after the show and does a meet and greet with his fans. How great is that! Such a talented and super nice man.

The Bear's Den is a great place to see a performance. Because of its cozy atmosphere, no seat is a bad one. This was my second time seeing Gino Vannelli. He was great as usual. I'd come there again.

Two hours of fantastic singing. The Portland band is fantastic.

Saw the amazing Gino V. the other night at the Bears Den. Such an intimate venue! Gino was in top form vocally backed by a phenomenal band. Time has been a true friend to Gino;he still has the strong voice, great showmanship, and natural charm (and great looks!) Simply put, he is the consummate performer. As a fan since 1973, I can say that Gino just keeps getting better! Don't miss a chance to see him if you have the opportunity.

Gino's music is timeless, his West Coast band are the best musicians we have ever seen perform live, total perfection. Gino's brother, wingman Ross is his road Manager and sound Engineer, he is a perfectionist and the show is a testament to his craft as well as being a warm and engaging man. Gino's voice and his stage presence are amazing and to be able to see him perform live is a memorable event. Gino has stayed true to his craft and never sold himself out to the industry, he is by far the best musician of our time!!

Great performance in a personal and intimate setting. I just want a stop and tell you how I feel about it. Gino and the musicians that accompany him made the music come alive again. It's been a long time since I enjoyed such great artist. Thank you Gino, keep the music going.

I've followed Gino fo 40 years now. I have to say , I feel his voice is even better, if you can believe it. Super tight band as always, great setting, and great song set.

I went to the concert having loved his music from the 80's. Wow, Gino has very wide range and his voice is better than ever--smooth, able to hit the low notes with no strain and sing falsetto. What a pleasure to hear someone in full command of his talents. His guitar and drum work was also superb with both jazz and rock influences prominent. He was backed by a 7 piece band of very talented musicians, including two saxophonists. The venue, Dosey Doe, was very intimate and we had fantastic seats right at the stage, the acoustics were fabulous. Vannelli writes almost all of his music and it is sophisticated and varied; he manages to weave a story throughout the performance, including some very charming interludes where he shared some of his story. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! If he returns here I will definitely be back again.

THE ROSE WAS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT AND GINO WAS JUST A SUPERSTAR. THIS WAS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR MY WIFE. THE TWO SEATS IN FRONT OF US WERE A NO SHOW SO MY WIFE WAS FRONT AND CENTER. SHE SANG AND DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY. GINO REACHED OUT AND TOUCH HER HAND TWICE AND SANG HIS ASS OFF. THE BAND DID NOT MISS A NOTE. THE MEET AND GREAT ONLY GOT BETTER AS GINO IS A VERY KIND MAN WHO LOVES HIS FANS. YOU GOTTA GO AT LEAST ONCE TO EXPERIENCE VANNELLI!

I have loved this man since 1975...I waited almost 42 years to see him. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! Gino's voice is still as clear and crisp as a bell! His band sounded like a full on orchestra! This venue was perfect to showcase his magnificent sound.

Having seen Gino 3 times in Vegas over the past 10 years, I did not expect to be overly impressed. Wrong! His voice was clear and strong, and the band was on their A game. The song selection was unexpected, with Santa Rosa and Nightwalker, but he played his hits as well, and the group I was with was basically blown away.

My first time to experience Gino's beautiful voice and very sexy love songs was in 1978 at Indiana State University! He was every girl's dream! Thank you Gino for sharing your talent with the world!

I waited 40 years to hear and see Gino perform, and the experience was so much more than my expectations. His voice was even better than years ago, (yes I listened to his albums). He included the entire audience throughout the performance making you feel a part. The band was fabulous, at times complex, and so enjoyable. The entire band and Gino all were enjoying themselves, and having fun, in turn made you feel all. I would highly recommend seeing him, as it will be an experience you would throughly enjoy and would never forget.

Gino Vanelli must possess magic! He doesn't seem to age and his amazing voice is just as strong, clear and accurate as I remember from the '70's. Along with his tight and talented band of musicians, Gino delivered a set of his hits and some deep cuts each delivered with maximum craft and emotion. His trim figure gracefully moving with the rhythms and directing his band, he cuts a picture of the consummate performer. Add to this a relaxed and natural rapport with the audience and several interesting stories from his history and you have the perfect show experience. The Rose is a great venue for Gino Vanelli as it is intimate, classy, acoustically fine and you can also get a good dinner. I'm always about the food, but even without vittles Gino more than satisfies. See him now!

I had never seen Gino Vannelli before; the man rarely performs in the United States. He's huge in his native Canada, but he only recently starting gigging around the U.S., and then only in select cities. I've always liked his crystal-clear singing voice, but I wasn't willing to travel to see him, so when this show was announced and I knew that I would be in the area anyway, I went for it. I haven't followed Gino throughout his career; I wasn't aware of him at all until "I Just Wanna Stop" hit the AM airwaves in 1978--and as an eight-year old boy, I loved the song a lot (it's still one of my favorites). Gino had another big hit stateside in 1981 with "Living Inside Myself", but after that I really didn't try to pay attention to him; life got in the way. Because I like to see as many different styles of live music as I can (I've seen everyone from classical violinist Itzhak Perlman to Slayer), I thought that this would be a nice evening out--and it was. Gino and his excellent seven-piece band delivered a set of VERY jazz-inspired soul, pop and rock over an hour and forty minutes. He was in great spirits, joked with the audience, told stories, and of course sang his head off. At 64, Gino's voice was flawless. At the same time, he never showed off, which is too easy-and tempting-for many modern singers (and Aretha Franklin) to do. I was impressed with the songlist, which leaned heavily on his hit 1978 lp "Brother To Brother", and I had a lot of fun watching his drummer, who was really versatile and impressive. If I have a complaint, it's that I feel that the new, slow re-arrangement of "I Just Wanna Stop" really doesn't serve the song very well, but I wouldn't expect Gino to be a human jukebox either, just duplicating his hit records by rote. After the show, Gino came out by the merchandise stand in the lobby after a twenty-minute wait, signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans. He's a classy guy, onstage and off.

Gino and his band were fabulous--They really kicked it with great, room-filling music. Wish they had done "Wheels of Life," but no biggy.

Tremendous band. Gino still has the great voice He played all his major hits and some new material. Great show. Worth seeing

Gino has been part of our lives since he became our new fix in '76 and is hands down our favorite vocalist. He is an extraordinary artist with great depth and outpouring of his heart and soul that only he can so intimately share. Some arrangements were changed up a bit and we would have loved to have heard Last Dance and Omens of Love but we enjoyed each track he performed and thankful we could see him again after so many decades. It was an honor to meet him after the show and to get a new shirt to fit our 2017 bodies.

Gino performed flawlessly with an amazing band that was highly sophisticated in its arrangements. He was warm and charming and gave the band to shine in addition to playing fresh arrangements of his best music. If you like Gino and or pop jazz, this is a must see.

Gino has an excellent voice and showmanship. My wife and I really enjoyed the show especially enjoyed "I just wanna stop" and "Living inside myself"
