Ich bin absolut begeistert! Ich kann gar nicht aufhören zuzuhören. Meine Jugendzeit erlebt ein Comeback. Gibt es auch einmal eine Europa-Tournee ? Bei dieser durchgeknallten politischen Lage sicher schwierig. Diese Musiker sind Brückenbauer im besten Sinne. Grüße aus Deutschland.

As Americans we have little to be cavalier about criticizing other autocratic governments when we are likely headed for a similar fate ourselves. So, we will soon be in the same boat together so be sure to welcome us aboard.

Brilliant/so good. I remember when these songs were released ~ I was maybe 10 to 15yo. I heard them all 1000 times, maybe more. They become part of you, built into your soul, accurately tucked away. You are correct, many times when played live, musicians do not play exactly as in the studio. Americans have become used to this, but, it doesn't mean we don't yearn for songs to be played as we grew up knowing them. Many of us seek bands who do this, Beatles come to mind. Rush, Journey, there are many more but Chicago? with all those instruments, is so greatly appreciated. The accuracy, with all your great musicians, and equipment! A++! Even after all these years, my soul still remembered. It woke me up out of my chair!! I thought I was dreaming! I thought Chicago went back into the studio! /followed

Music has a magical way of eliminating the illusion of borders, and cultural separation, current times have distracted us from what is truly important to our innermost selves. The pure distraction of your amazing talent is life giving medication to our soul's. Your gift of music leaves me personally, beyond my ability to properly express my love , inspiration, appreciation for all your amazing talent and uninhibited passion for your craft. Thank you for the medicine!

Hate Russians? Stupid Americans "hate" Russians. Anyone wanting the Russian people to be happy and free wish for a rearrangement of their political culture. Maybe an island, Kamchatka(?) peninsula, somewhere wth zero means of communicating w outside world as a retirement site. We could throw in our own evil clown to keep their's company. Nevertheless, we keep Leonid and Friends.

Born in Milwaukee ‘50 I grew up plying brass instruments and joined a fantastic band of 150 musicians. We became Ambassadors* in toured 5 countries in Europe in 1965. Chicago Transit Authority ( Chicago ) is one of my all time favorite bands. I am looking forward to your performance at The Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee I September of 2024. Your tribute to Chicago is as you say better than well Chicago. I seen Chicago but have no reservations as your You Tube performances are exquisite.

I got to see them Saturday night in Philadelphia, and I had an amazing time. They absolutely blew me away with how well they play live. Purchased a meet and greet and Cd. The meet and greet was organized and pleasant. The entire band was humble and very friendly. It was an experience I'll always treasure.

I am in AWE of how good your music is. As much as I love Chicago, you are even better. First, your drummer is sublime - wow, he is so great, and he and the bass, just give the music the perfect tight rhythm. The horns are just so good - what a joy to hear the blaring horns - real music. And, the singing. I'm sure they hear it all the time, but they are INCREDIBLE. I have nothing but admiration of your artistry - because music produced this precisely, is artistic music.

My wife and I recently discovered Leonid and Friends when their cover of LIghthouse's One Fine Morning popped up on my KZread feed. The arrangement was like listening to Skip Prokop and the band all over again. Lighthouse played at our high school in Toronto in 1971, and a couple of years later I played some hockey with some of the band members.
