    Hi, I've been an Earth, Wind & Fire fan from the beginning. I'm 65 now so that gives you an idea I've seen them in concert 9 times. 7 times with the great Maurice White but I have to say this cover version of fantasy is amazing a tribute to Earth, Wind & Fire the vocalist just nailed it Philip Bailey should be proud great performance loved it thank you guys for the love of music that you bring

    Jeff, here are some of the comments that you wanted me to share with your followers. In late March or early April of 2019, I clicked on their version of 25 or 6 to 4. I was hooked. I reached out through social media to Leonid. We quickly became friends. Gradually, I branched out until I was friends with everyone in the band. The first time I saw the band live was in July of 2019. A bond developed between Leonid and Friends and myself; from fan to friend to family. They are the nicest and most humble group of people you will ever meet. Eventually, I would travel with them on the road along sections of the Midwest and the South. Leonid is an absolute genius. They didn't have charts to play from so Leonid listened to the original recordings and transcribed all the parts by ear. There are people with absolute pitch but Leonid is way beyond that. Leonid also does all the mix-down and mastering of the music. The original "Chicago" band was so impressed that they placed Leonid and Friends version of 25 or 6 to 4 on "their" website. The amount of talent around Moscow is incredible. Leonid was looking worldwide for someone to sing the high tenor parts that Peter Cetera sang. The original Chicago band helped out and found Serge Tiagnyriadno in Kiev, Ukraine. Serge ran Crystal Studios in Kiev and is another genius. He plays multiple instruments besides singing. Enough for now. Enjoy listening to my brothers and my sister. They are all masterclass performers.

      Haha, bro, I've done absolutely none of what you did, but I stumbled upon these guys the same way. Every now and then I want to see if there's a good cover of some song I like, and I searched youtube for 25 or 6 to 4. Without a doubt, it was the best cover I've ever seen. Been a huge fan ever since, and I finally got to see them in concert a few months back.

    • @RobertClaeson
      @RobertClaeson 9 месяцев назад +5

      I believe I viewed a clip on RUclips where they went through all that, how it started, their aims and such. Especially about the listening to tracks over and over again and painstakingly transcribing each and every instrument (which seems next to impossible to me). Very interesting. Bits were in Russian with English subtitles (thank God). I can't seem to locate the clip anymore though.

    Igor on drums is an absolute monster. People tune metronomes based on his tracks. This is L&F’s best performance so far.

    • @skyhawk4946

      I saw them live last year, and Igor did a long solo while everyone else left the stage, (in the middle of “I’m A Man”, if memory serves). He walked away from his drum set, to the front of the stage, never breaking rhythm, using various objects on the stage as drums. I have never been a fan of drum solos, but he kept me absolutely captivated the entire time. The man is incredible. I have read that he is one of the most in-demand studio drummers in all of Russia, and I believe it!

    What do you get when you cover a 1977 hit song by Earth, Wind & Fire, where the music is perfectly transcribed, every instrument is played by an expert studio musician, every vocal is sung by skilled professional singers, and every note is recorded using 2023 recording equipment and perfectly mixed by skilled sound engineers? You have "Fantasy" by Leonid & Friends.

    ❤I’ve played horns my entire life and I must tell you, they are unbelievable in person. My wife looked at me when we saw them in Charleston SC and asked me why I was crying. I answered, “Are you kidding me? The music I love the most being played by the music gods!” Studio or live, they are phenomenal.

He is an absolute genius! I'm sure you've heard their cover of the Canadian group Lighthouses "One Fine Morning", if not; it'll blow your socks off as well. Enjoy!

    Leonid is the bass player in the band.
    He's 72 years old and transcribes all of the music from the original score.
    He writes each individual sheet of music for every musician in the band, produces each video, and manages the whole production process.
    I absolutely love your channel, and I'm so glad I came across you here on RUclips.
    The horn section is as tight as any I have ever heard, and the vocalists are absolutely phenomenal.
    The percussion! Wow...
    The strings, bass, guitar! What can I say?
    Keep putting this incredible music out there, my friend.
    Their Earth, Wind, and Fire covers are absolutely amazing; they were and still are my favorite band of all time with the genius of Maurice White.
    Have an awesome rest of your day. 🙏

    Otra gran melodía que no me cansa oírla una y otra vez. Esta interpretation de la banda Leonid y sus Amigos tiene todo el sabor "funky" de la era disco (mediados y finales de los 70). Excelente interpretación, muchos recuerdos vienen a mi mente. Cada cover es tan impresionante que a veces me olvido de que son de origen ruso y que el idioma inglés no es su idioma materno, pero cantan y tocan como los dioses.

      I would liken Lexington Lab Band more with Leonid than I would Hindley Street Country Club. LLB tries to match the original, whereas HSCC does their own arrangements.

      @@jbach4311 Have you heard SingIt Live? The co-founders of HSCC had a falling out a couple of years ago and one of them split off and formed SingIt Live. They are on RUclips, as well. Several of the originals went with him.

      HSCC is good but in a different way. They do their own thing. Leonid and Lexington Lab band are masters of recreating the original.

    I’ve seen them in concert. They are incredible. Very humble audience friendly, and put on quite a show. If you ever have the opportunity to see them, I would encourage you to go so and if you can honestly tell me that they’re not one of the most five best groups you’ve ever experienced and enjoyed. I give you my word. I will give you your money back that’s how confident I am. I have nothing to do with this group by the way just enjoy their music, PS I have messaged with them before and they have messaged back. Incredible. Incredible people.

    Jeff, I stumbled onto Leonid and Friends quite by accident couple of weeks ago and, as a result, your reaction videos.
    Listening to beautiful music is a particular joy, but watching beautiful music being made is a very special joy. I think we are in agreement that Leonid and his cadre of amazing talent hits the nail squarely on the head with every title they play, and we owe a debt of gratitude to the guys making the videos that let us watch that music being made.
    But, Jeff, there is a third joy -- watching someone else as they experience the creation of beautiful music. -- and you sir are such a pleasure to watch. I can see your heart smile all over your face as you view these videos. You don't have to say a word; your body language and facial expressions speak more than words ever could.
    Thank you for these reaction videos and keep bringing us beautiful music and your heartfelt reactions; they are every bit as wonderful as the music itself.
