This is one of the best covers of any song I've ever heard. The whole band just have smoke coming off them their playing is that hot. Special mentions for the drummer, the vocalist (who does a great Peter Cetera impression) and the guitarist for that blazing solo.

Please do more Leonid and Friends songs. They cover multiple bands perfectly as well as have music of their own. What an amazingly talented group. Thanks.

Yes, yes, yes friends! I have been following L& F for years since a FB friend shared this video with me. I bet Terry Kath is smiling & grooving along wherever he is now.

Yes! Real music played by real musicians. Fun fact: This was recorded before the hostilities in eastern Europe. The singer main singer wss not only in a different studio, but a different country. His part was from a studio kn Kyiv, Ukraine. They are currently touring here in the US. Really top shelf band.

They sound like Chicago more than Chicago. Amazing cover band, top tier musicians and the most beloved tribute and compliment to the original band, Chicago. Can’t get a bigger compliment than this tribute band.

Everything they cover is reproduced at the highest level. They are worthy of an entire series of reaction videos from you. 😉

Leonid and friends are BRILLIANT

The story of the bassist (Leonid) as the ring leader of this whole continued effort is fascinating. It's a pretty deep rabbit hole. Lot of amazing stuff.

Everything L & F does is mind blowing, from scoring to performance to production. I never saw Chicago live back in the 70s as a teenager. This is like a glimpse into the past. Sergey's guitar work is a brilliant tribute to the late Terry Kath. Igor's percussion is a flawless tribute to Danny Seraphine. Serge's vocals are brilliant. Glad you two enjoyed it.

This band not only covers Chicago...but the cover Earth wind and fire as well!

I'm so glad you discovered these guys , they are amazing to say the least ! The guy on the guitar is on Fire 🔥

❤❤❤ Thank you so much for covering these guys!

Leonid and friends... so refreshing. I love that they appreciate good, old, music. Also, Leonid is an amazing producer and the little brother on the guitar does a great job at playing an iconic solo. Well done.

You need to "go down the Leonid & Friends rabbit hole". Besides Chicago they cover Earth Wind & Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears, just to name a few. The fact that English is not their native language makes it even more impressive how "spot on" they sound. Danny Seraphine (original drummer of Chicago) got wind of this band and have met with them. Danny and Igor (the drummer for Leonid) have met and they are now very good friends.

Iv'e never heard a cover of this song before, and this did'nt disappoint! Great cover that replicates the original very closely. 👍

I saw this group perform in my city here in the U.S. Great show!

Wow !!! That's not easy to play like it just like Chicago, especially the guitar work ! Love you guys. Thanks ! Until next time stay well and poppin for fresh

They are an amazing band filled with talented musicians. Leonid, the founder, had to transcribe the musical score for each instrument as they apparently were never published. They cover many Chicago songs equally as great, and I think also a handful of the brass band “Blood Sweat and Tears” songs (which I'm not sure that you've done them before before). Unfortunately, the lead singer on this song, the Ukrainian vocalist Serge Tiagniryadno, due to the war in Ukraine returned to his country to help.

Not a bad copy, guys; probably one of the best I've heard. You can tell they paid a lot of attention to detail from the original. Good guitarist too. Props to the band and to you guys for finding this gem, 👍. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

You could do a reaction to them every week for months and love very cover.

Outstanding cover of a band I saw 3 times live when I was quite a bit younger.

Wow! Excellent cover of this "Chicago" classic.

Leonid and Friends are amazing. Those guys are straight up talented and gifted musicians. Should check out their cover of Saturday In The Park if you haven't already you won't be disappointed

They also cover, Earth Wind and Fire, The Carpenters and many more.

Question 67 & 68 is a must!!

They did a great covers of the carpenters, Brian McKnight, and Tower of Power.

Great reaction, grt song. Thx ✌🏻

That was absolutely amazing!

Excellent musicians, every one. I've seen several videos, and all are perfect. They also do some Earth, Wind and Fire songs. Thanks for sharing. ☮🧡🎶

Excellent response to an excellent cover. ❤️‍🔥 💫

Bravo! perfect cover! Thanks for the great review!

These guys are awesome..they did a cover for the Deep Purple called Stormbringer, absolutely amazing.

Very nice cover. Enjoyed it a lot.

I saw Chicago back in the 80's, fantastic show! This is an awesome cover, takes me right back! Love it ❤

BTW, they are a Russian tribute band.

Just have to say I just love you guys. Your reactions are true blue and I love you two as a couple...endearing! 😊

Thank you so much!!💚☺️

Leonid & Friends starting out learning the songs by backwards engineering the original recordings and then Leonid Vorobyev himself scores the individual parts for the players. Their catalog is extensive and they do tour and in fact have at least 50 more dates on their USA tour this year.

Wow great cover!

Their great cover of Steely Dan's , 'My Old School' :kzread.info/dash/bejne/gpNsw7yTacfFdaQ.html

Sergei Kashirin - killer lead guitar - has a great voice as well. Here he is leading on "September" by Earth, Wind, and Fire : kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmmMz7enibqbe9Y.html Then, check their third lead vocalist doing "Vehicle" by the Ides Of March: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mIxsycGDda3VnJs.html

La cantata del diablo en concierto diabulus in opera de Mago de Oz

NO 1 CAN BEAT TERRY KATH BUT HE IS DOING PRETTY GOOD LOL!!! GOING TO SEE CHICAGO IN AUGUST WOOOOOOOT

The guitarist and lead singer are no longer with the band. Leonid is the bass guitar player. Find their version of the Chicago song "Happy Man". You will love it. 🙂

❤

Unbelievable

Boy what a cover performance! A lot of reactors sometimes say why were the bands in the 70's so talented, and where is the talent these days, well the talent is still alive and well hears proof! Peace ✌️ ☮️ and Love ❤️ Gary

We all have so much in common world wide. It is a shame politics interfere

Rabbit hole. Please continue downward.
