Never in my wildest imagination would I have dreamed that Russian musicians would fifty years later replicate perfectly my favorite bands’ famous hits. Incredible, amazing and exciting!

Danny Seraphine, one of the true founders of Chicago and part of the band in those days the band still deserved to be named Chicago, paying tribute to this incredible band by joining them on drums > well one doesn’t need to say anything more. Passion and music can make anything happen ;-)

The two Sergei’s are PHENOMENAL! God protect them and their loved ones in these terrible times.

Nice to see Danny sitting on drums. He knows talent when he hears it!

I believe Leonid has assembled one of the best bands you are ever going to find. I hope he can come back to America and do more shows this year.

Seems also that the they keep good rules to keep each other together as a group on the road.

We were fortunate enough to see them in Clearwater. The show was beyond amazing. Such a talented and fun band. America loves you , Leonid and Friends. Hurry back!

We drove 500 miles round trip to see L&F in Los Angeles (2018) and it was worth every mile. It's astonishing how good they are.

The best cover band in the world today, not only the best Chicago one. You guys are unbelievably good, pure soul and passion.

This is remarkable talent and even the original writers can not deny. See the world is full of good people and artist that care about having their fellow man, woman, & child happy from the great tones of music. Outstanding Leonid and Friends.

I've been a musician my whole life, including a full-time pro for 8 years in Hawaii and California during the 70-80's and I'm a tough sell on performing bands. I am happy to say that this great band, Leonid and Friends, gave me chicken skin listening to and watching them and a huge smile from ear to ear. If there is a better argument for bringing people and nations together better than the performance of great music I have never encountered it. God bless you all and thanks for your hard work and devotion.

You just can’t get any better than that!! Never forget the fact that if there would not have been the original Chicago, there might not have been a Leonid & Friends. Chicago’s sound was so unique. That’s why people couldn’t decide which type of music they were playing? Rock, Jazz, Fusion, et al.? I’m not sure, but when Leonid first heard Chicago a long time ago in Russia, he was blown away. It’s his almost lifelong dream come true, to be able to give us this wonderful gift of recreating the music of Chicago!

Song after Song, they capture the young and raw Chicago from the 70's. OUTSTANDING!

Time will eventually rob us of the greatness of all originals. Thank heaven for those who are stepping up to fill the coming void with such faithfulness, precision, and musicality. God Bless Leonid and Friends! You have no idea what your contribution means.

Growing up with the original Chicago band I must say I am speechless!!!!!

Thank you for breathing life back in our beloved CHICAGO. Giving you an insane welcome from USA friends. Everyone in the band is brilliant! Your musical interpretations will be reverberating through out our land for many years to come. Thanks for bringing us so much joy.

I gave up on love years ago...but after hearing this band..im thinking about it again.....

Somebody said this already, but I have to repeat it, remembering Ed: "You make us seniors laugh, cry, and feel young again. God bless you all." You bring not only music, but also life...

Смотрел, слушал, читал комментарии и словил себя на мысли, что сначала просмотра видео, с моего лица не сходит улыбка... Это дорогого стоит. Отличные музыканты, Прекрасная музыка.

Unbelievable performances! I wish you all the best. Onward and upward!

You know you are a really great cover band when an original member of Chicago joins in to play with the band. Lots of great talent in this band. Very tight..

I have been playing music (Keyboard, Trumpet, Guitar, Drums and Bass) for 50 years, mainly because of Chicago. I have met the real band and seen them numerous times over the years . . . most recently as a year ago. I have to say that if you close your eyes and listen, Leonid and Friends sounds like Chicago when they originally played the music 50 years ago. They are amazing. GO GET 'EM!!

As Real Long time Chicago Fan. You all pass and Definitely make the Grade. AWSOME

This is the best cover band on the planet. This full band style we grew up with is practically gone to non complex, bad lyric, no harmony music. Amazing work guys, I know you spent many months rehearsing. If you get back to the US try to schedule a Nashville show.

Honestly, I've never been a fan of Chicago or their music, but this band just blows me away with their enthusiasm, spirit, energy, musicianship, moxie, elan, panache, verve, and love. Man oh man, I can't get over it.

Cool to see Danny Seraphine playing with this awesome Chicago tribute band. I would love to here them play more from the album CTA, like ”Introduction” and “ South California Purples” “Liberation” and the Chicago 17 like “Stay The Night”, “Along Cones A Woman”, and “Hard Habit to Break”, “You’re the Inspiration”, and “Once in a Lifetime” from these 2 incredible albums...it would be cool to hear them play these songs.

Only one word I have that adequately describes this - WOW!!!! All of you are extremely talented, but more than that - your energy and excitement is contagious. Just like the original CHICAGO when they were at their best in the late 60s/early 70s! Wish I could have made one of your shows.

The truest test of talent for any musical group is the live performance sound. Studios are magical places where mixers and technology often help bring it to the levels of greatness. Live however is the test. This wonderful group sounds AMAZING live! I just don't have the words to describe the greatest sounding cover band that has ever lived. I am going to get tickets because this would be tragic to miss.

Thank you, Leonid, for your brilliance of intellect to put all of this together. Your efforts are so very appreciated.
