Igor was beating those drums like they owe him money

He makes it look so easy. 😁

I've been playing drums /percussion for almost 40yrs,. I'm not great, not terrible, but one thing I've noticed the past 5yrs or so is that although my mind, memory and desire is still sharp, my speed, movement and ability is slowing. I say that to say this, Igor at his age is nothiing short of AMAZING, the talent, speed, skill & passion he displays (like everyone in L&F) is truly inspirational!!! Theres an amazing rush you feel when great music stimulates that raw emotion within us. For me, I think back to the best times of my youth when I first heard or played these songs. I continue to enjoy your reactions, analysis and comentary, please keep up the great work Jeff, can't wait for the next one!

You're definitely going to have such a blast when you see them live, they are so good!! I've seen them three years in a row and can say the horns are tighter than they've ever been, if they can even be better than here. You can tell they really enjoy performing for us. Thank you for your reaction!!

I got my mom, uncle and aunt tickets for the show this coming Sunday, can't wait to hear how it was!

Another Chicago classic covered by Leonid and friends they never disappoint musicianship are incredibly outstanding👍

As you experienced, as a kid, my sister would play this record and it immediately made me dance and sing as crazy. I have a special connection to this song, even though I did not follow Chicago that much later in life.

Chicago is my favorite band of all time loved all their stuff from the mid 60s to the 80s when they turned more of a soft rock but I really enjoyed that too with Peter Becoming the vocal point Leonid and friends are Completely amazing band can we react to their version of hard to say I’m sorry thank you

Nice job Jeff as always. Yes music does bring back memories of places, times , events and of course the people in our lives. Leonid and Friends never disappoint, As great as the studio version is. The live version of this is even better with Oleg (Sax player)doing his usual craziness pushing Valsilli out of the way so he can dance with Ksenia. We're going to see them for the third time in Oct. I think it;s hard to know who has the most fun at thje concert. The band or the audience.

Serge ROCKS this out of the park!

BRAVO Paisan, BRAVO Leonid & Friends! 👏👏👏👏👏

The 'Hits' just keep on coming with this Chicago Tribute Group that is always providing pure perfection.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing inspiration! This is my new superpower song!!! 😊

Have closely followed Leonid & Friends or 7 years. I have been spoiled and often take their music perfection for granted and automatically set the minimum expectation bar above the elite. What class is that? No other group resides there.Thank you, Leonid & Friends and thank you, Stratele studios

I agree Scott. I can't think of a better tribute band.Living legends in their own right. This year, I'm going to see them for the 5th time.

Listening to these amazing artists is nothing but… absolute… pure joy. ❤

A wonderful recollection of a wonderful song. This song moved me at the time, and this faithful rendition brings back the same emotions.

Without a proper sound system, most people aren't even picking up on Igor's amazing kick drum play.

I have a great sound system and i have enjoyed every second if my L& F CD’s

SUPERB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jeff love these kind of childhood stories that often don’t make sense but are cool and etched in your brain. Thanks for sharing. Love your reactions.

Thanks, Jeff. Always a good time with L&F.

Igors hands are so fluid.

I had a similar memory association between "I Fought the Law" and "jesse james meets frankenstein's daughter" (1966).

Hahaha wow! 👏👏👏

Thanks for getting this one on your channel! I have been waiting so long (Ha!) to hear your reaction, as it has always been one of my all time favorite Chicago songs and now L&F too. It does have a special meaning for me too, since I was going through a serious medical condition at the time I discovered our Russian friends and their most excellent musicians. As I was recovering from surgery and trying to regain my health, “Feeling Stronger’ was my go-to song as I pushed through every setback. Thanks for bringing this song up to your level of excellence!

Yeehaw, I caught it same day!

Amazing! Fantastic! All the things! 🩷🩷🩷

Igor is a great drummer and a nice guy. The whole band is so gracious. Go see them!

Interesting pairing of memories.

Amazing how music can attach to events and places. As with nearly every other L&F video; Beautifully executed and... Isn't she lovely?

I wore out my first copy of this disc on my turn table playing FSED over and over again. It was one of my favorite tracks. When I was 10, I saved up so much allowance so I could buy this album. Even though the vinyl is toast is still have it today. Like you said Paisan, they always deliver.

Great Job👍❤️

I did want it this way!! I wish they would come to my town...Yuma Arizona!!

So good.

Yes!!!!!!

..My Mom's kitchen curtains never looked so good.

I don't remember the background singers in the Chicago version singing "Let's spend the night together" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash is a gas, gas, gas". Was that in the original?

I always remember the “Jumping Jack Flash” part from the original but not the other.

You are most welcome Jeff. I knew the way your schedule is you would never be able to slip this one in, except maybe on a day off. Of course, it isn't as if I don't like this song. I especially like how it ends a cappella.

Early Leniod, lots of changes with his friends. I know the lead singer was lost due to the war. What happened to the original guitar player?

Your studio designs would cost a very, very pretty penny to make reality, Jeff! But, my goodness, would they impress anyone who was lucky enough to be invited into them.

Just for thank you donations, ya. For request donations I’ve currently put that on hold until I get through the rather long list I current have. I’ll be opening up the request lines sometime in July. Venmo is @Stratele-Stratele

I'm sorry, but honestly, I prefer their rendition of Chicago songs more than Chicago. Except anything Terry Gath sang.. .
