Вольный перевод с английского:
“Без 25 или без 26 минут 4”
(Песня о том, как мучительной порой сочиняются песни)
Дожидаюсь рассвета
Подыскиваю нужные слова
Свет мигалок рассекает небо за окном
Я сдаюсь и закрываю глаза
Сижу на полу с поджатым ногами
Без 25 или без 26 минут 4
Поднимаюсь, чтобы умыться
Просто стараюсь не заснуть
Слепо уставившись в одну точку
Удивляюсь, сколько я еще могу выдержать
Должен ли я сделать что-то ещё?
Без 25 или без 26 минут 4
Чувствую, что мне нужно поспать
Перед глазами всё идёт кругом
Ищу, что сказать
Жду рассвета
Без 25 или без 26 минут 4

See you in Oklahoma City....
Looking forward to tonight’s show!
No you are definitely not alone! Don’t forget the guy banging away on that piano!
Thank you for All the beautiful music🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Holy cow, that's the best cover band I've ever heard ... and proof positive that Russian and Ukrainian people blend beautifully together. Peace.
Seen them in person. Seeing again!!!
Not anymore thanks to Mr.Putin. I just hope this does not affect this group as their music is off the charts
@@leebrand7504 everybody in the World knows that "if two neighbours are fighting it means that yesterday they had an englishman as a guest"
@@leebrand7504 Lee, putin is no mister, he is even not human being !
Totally agree. My mistake .
My god, what the hell did I just watch?? This is flat-out the most perfect replication of Chicago tune in history. It is more accurate then anything Chicago themselves ever did. Every single nuance and micro nuance of Peter cetera's original vocals has been accurately replicated here.... and unbelievably, Terry kath's original epic solo has been completely replicated to the last note and nuance. I'm completely in shock and awestruck.
Yes, they are that good
It was ideological invasion of Russia into the USA in order that Americans became patriots of the country again, but not globalists.
I think it's very studio produced - not live.
Holy cow i can not believe someone can be that good and russion toboot
Andrew i could not of sId it better
Is no one going to talk about how amazing the lead vocalist is on this song? His performance is perfect.
agree
I think its because they ALL nailed it! Such a good cover.....
Closed eyes see Chicago.......years ago. They still sound great but getting where it's hard for them to tour. This is breath of spring for a new generation. Love it.
Or, how about the fact that they sound like a blend of Mid-Western and Mid-Atlantic voices.
how about the man playing lead
Dear lord that guitarist is INCREDIBLE!! Love this cover so much!
The guitarist Sergey & lead singer on this, Serge are no longer with them. Miss seeing them both. Drummer Igor is awesome!
Sergey was a natural, super talented guitarist, with the guitar seemingly a permanent part of him. Missing him and Serge, two incredible people. These guys speak very little English, with the exception of Leonid's son, yet their pronunciation is almost perfect while singing. I'm still awed that Russians are honoring an American band. Leonid's story of growing up under communism is inspiring.
How...the HELL....have I never heard this group before? They are practically a clone of Chicago. This is absolutely immaculate and a tribute to the original members of Chicago. They are bloody fantastic!!
Check out their Earth, Wind, and Fire. Perfection.
Chicago was great! These guys picked up their legacy and ran with it!
Check out their Steely Dan cover...
This is a true representation of Russia. Awesome people, very talented, and human kind unlike their countrys leader.
Dude...same. the guitar solo is brutal. The guys are freakin lit.
Best cover of an original I have EVER heard......
I've heard some cover bands in my time, but that was EXCELLENT! Nothing overplayed, tight as a gnat's arse and bonus brass section. Great stuff... I'd book 'em for a wedding!
@@rogerwredford I THINK THEY COULD SELL OUT AN ARENA and i would be 1st in line
@@mjr320 You're right, I think they could... I'd just prefer to imagine them at a wedding reception where you turn up and are blown away by the band they have on ( I've seen that a couple of times...), 10 of them on stage, each going home with just £50 'cos they're in it for the music and the craic. The good old days, hey...
Probably better than the original. : )
@@sustainfIt’s plasphemous to say that…and i would agree
Someone help me. I can't stop watching this. Over and over. The technical capability. The guitar playing. The drumming. The spirit. I bet I'm not alone...
The drummers pretty inspiring in my book....he drives it home hard.
You are totally not alone. I thought there was something wrong with me until I read the comments.
This stuff just makes me happy. It seems so honest.
So much energy comin' from this...supernatural uplift....ALL RIGHT!
Yeah this guy was as close to Kath on this song as you can possible be. Incredible.
私は67歳のジジィですが、この曲を聴いたのは15歳の時でした。その時の衝撃は大変なものでした。今、本家を凌駕する洗練と迫力で、再び聴けるなんて、長生きはして見るもんだ、とおもいました。
全く同感です！
This is my neighbors favorite song....I made sure of it
neighbours for goodness sake speak ENGLISH,, or we will turn
up again with the REDCOATS again in our wooden ships and our rotten teeth
Great line.
😘
thats good shit man!
😂😂😂
Terry is smiling down on you Sergey!!!!!.....
Sergey Kashirin... Brother, you DEFINITELY did Terry Kath justice with your solo. That F*#KING ROCKED!!!! As a fan of the original and someone who saw Chicago live, I must say, GREAT JOB to ALL of you!
Adding absolutely nothing over what’s already been said here… this is hands-down the most technically accurate and best sounding cover of any song I have ever heard anywhere. Wonderful job all around.
You’d all make Terry Kath proud.
Possibly the greatest guitar solo in rock music ever. And this guy NAILED it!
Absolutely right, on both counts!
it’s up there
I’m sure Chicago would be proud of their Russian brothers!!
(I wonder if they're embarrassed?)
Ukrainian.
@@DMSProduktions
I am sorry 😐
Serge: hope you and those you love are OK in the current conflict. I just want your positive energy back and the craziness of the war over. Your gift is so much more then the madness of what is happening. Love and good energy to you and yours. :) 😍
This isn't simply a cover - it's a loving tribute (especially Sergei Kasharin's amazing paean to the late, great Terry Kath). I absolutely love these guys.
Sergey's guitar work on this some of the best on the internet. He just channels Terry Kath. So many chances to soar on this one and he takes them all. The rhythm section is killing it too. Leonid and Igor more than just covering the original. Leonid shows what a phenomenal bass player Cetera was in his prime. And Igor is one of the worlds great drummers. The whole thing is just perfection.
It's not "step aside T Kath" but STEP UP Sergey Kashirin and join "world class" lead guitars anywhere.
Sergey is phenomenal, know several very good lead guitarists, might try to cover SRV, might try to cover Hendrix, but will shy away from covering Kath.
BTW, my favorite horn song, trumpet part is actually pretty easy compared to 'Make Me Smile' or 'Saturday in The Park'.
@@perryparsons9960 very true... The uniqueness of Terry Kath is not duplicated by many. This guy nails it, to be sure.
So glad I found this group! Very impressive all together!!!
Sergey rushed the first few bars of the solo, but then again I am a terrible person. ✔
@@SIDCIAVIC Yes, it sounds like you are! LOL!
This Russian guitarist is out of this world. I feel Teri Kath would be amazed and proud... Good job to Leonid & Friends for capturing the essence and passion of the band Chicago....
Couldn't agree more...
Psssst!
They are Ucrainians, not Russians
Believe he's from the Ukraine. Same as russia to most.but I bet it matters to him : )
@@peroleable Psssst!
And they raise a thumbs up for such comments?
They are Russians! There is only one Ukrainian singer - Sergei Tyagniradno, he sings from his studio in Kiev, the whole group is in a studio in Moscow. Read Leonidas' text below the video. Sometimes Sergei comes and records with them in Moscow.
Sorry, but some comments give the impression that you do not know anything about the world and you have a US globe on your table.

This may be the best cover of a song I’ve ever heard
They are all incredible, and that word is still not enough, and the lead guitarist is bad too the bone...
The guitar player has just nailed it. Unbelievable.
one of the best solos in classic music.
To play a song this complicated and make it look so effortless requires some incredible musicians. Hats off to the entire band...this is a cover band I would happily pay to see perform. Hope y'all come back to the US soon, stay longer and have more tour dates and cities!
They came to Dallas a few weeks ago (I live in Dallas) and I was NOT able to go see them. I was so bummed. Next time though!
Steve Solbakken There’s a 2019 tour. Check the link
I’m in a group going to the Pasadena show August 7th. Have great tickets!
I have saved every, single one of Leonid & Friends songs as my "favorites!" I've played the trumpet for more than 30 years and the way Andrey Zyl plays high C's, and high G's effortlessly, left me breathless! I've NEVER heard a more together band in my life. I also agree with those who say that "these guys are not a cover band, they're the real thing" are absolutely correct! I grew up listening to Chicago and EW&F and I'm almost ashamed to say that I enjoy the way Leonid & Friends sound than I do the originals!
"...I'm almost ashamed to say that I enjoy the way Leonid & Friends sound than I do the originals!"
Well, after 45+ years of technology improvements with respect to recording and mixing, every instrument and vocal stands out in this new recording.
(Not to mention that every band member is a consumate professional.)
Superb, unmatched rendition of a classic!!!!
ME too!!!
They also do a great version of Stormbringer by Deep Putple
I'v lost count how many times watched, these guys are incredible
Watching Sergey play Terry Kath’s immortal solo was a sight to behold and a real treat to ear. I have to believe as many do that Kath may be the most under rated guitarist of all time. Sergey’s rendition was full of the same power and emotion and his talent was on full display. Once again, my hat is off to Leonid and friends and I continue to be amazed each time I watch their videos.
Pete Gibson Totally agree with your comments about Terry Kath. The man was one hell of a talented guitar player. Although others did get a lot of press he just did what he did. Absolutely smoked it! He should recognized
As a equal to Clapton, Beck, Page, Allman, SRV, Buchanan and Hendricks. Left the world way to soon.
I agree. Sergey's guitar playing is simply not to be believed. I have been a full time professional musician since 1982 and this kid blows me away. Terry Kath is the only guitar player who Hendrix said was "Better than I am". Wow
Kath didn't shred for the sake of shredding, his solos were melodically following the song.
Math couldn't help himself, in that he literally was Chicago. They were never the same without him. He simply played for the love of playing! The man poured virtually everything he had, into every song, every time he played, it was his obsession. We were blessed to have him while we did, he will be missed forever!
Pete you are totally right it is so close I don't even think Terry could have played it that close absolutely fantastic!
The guy with the red t shirt is impeccable on the guitar.never heard anything like it..
It's like he was born with it attached to him. Sure do miss his incredible talent.
Note for note for note. Unbelievably faithful rendition. Just incredible.
I was thinking the very same thing.
To the band, Fantastic job by all.
And to think they did an entire album of stuff this good and English is at least their second language.
The boys had their A game that day...Those horns were so balls on too! A Trombone, in a good players hand, is so dynamic!
This was truly FUN to watch. What an absolutely crisp, authentic replication. I would swear it was Chicago.
The lead vocalist does sound a bit like Peter Cetera, doesn't he?
No! To me, he's the weak link. He has the pitch, but not the soul. A small quibble, tho' - this is a dynamite remake.
Big Chicago fan here. That was killer. Wonderful sound.
@@slide4180 Ahem... There is NOTHING weak about this vocalist... The problem is your 'ears'.
Homertoeclipper only with better equipment
HOLY CRAP....you should see the goosebumps I have right now....
Survivor2002 me too!!
Me three...i have at least 25 or 6 of em
Me four. In my good times I could play that solo pretty well. This guy nailed it note by note, lick by lick, finger by finger, believe me. Hats off ! These Russkies rock !.
If you want to listen to some other amazing band you wouldn't imagine it existed, check in RUclips a Hungarian band from the 70s called Lokomotiv and a song called Ringazd el Magad. It is their own song but it is like listening to Chicago.
Survivor2002 ,,if you liked that solo,,you will really enjoy the original by Terry Kath. Watch the " tanglewood concert". 25 or 6 to 4. This guy is good but nothing even comes close to Terry. You will not believe what that man could do with a strat.
Word!! S2002..
How the hell did I miss this for four years. Wow.
Apart from the fact everyone is amazing, that guitarist, talk about playing in anger. Absolute stunning solo, love seeing people at the top of their game.
They've been playing state side. Go to their site, ask them to come to town, and enjoy whatever group they put together that shows up. Phenomenal.
I just can't believe how good this is... Killer horn section, drums completely dead-on, and what can you say about that guitar?... It's just so so soooooo good! I remember this song so well when I was a kid in the 70s and once again, you guys may have even hit it better than the original. Thanks for the joy. That was great.
Great comment Fred.... its hard to not complement everyone in this incredible group....but... this guitarist is "out of sight" as we used to say in the old days. He copies these super high speed leads with perfection...probably like you said.... "better than the original"
Let's not forget the bass player. If the bass part rounds out the song, isn't rushed, isn't otherwise noticeable, then it's perfect. This band is fantastic all the way around. The singer sounds surprisingly like Cetera.
I agree. Speaking of the horns, I played solo bari sax in a stage band in the '70s and this song was one of our staples. We did our own jazzy all instrumental version of it, not a cover. The bari part was (is) repetitive and takes a lot of wind. It wasn't one of my favorites to play but the audience always seemed to like it. It's not easy to sound that tight.
Man you really honored Terry Kath with such a great version and Lead.
So impressed 👍
Not to take anything from this player, but keep in mind Terry performed that solo some 40 years ago without decades of other players to listen to. Just saying. Love the original and this loving and respectful recreation of incredibly technical musicianship by true artists.
Love it! The drummer is a beast!
thisischip he’s how do they say “ in the pocket “ 👍🏻✌🏻☮️
Fantastic. My band teacher when I was in school loved Chicago so we played all their songs. This brings back so many memories.
The band wouldn’t sound nearly as good as it does without Igor. He is a fantastic drummer who keeps everyone steady and on point.
So true. The drummer is the backbone of a band.
I once attended a Ray Charles concert; he was genius, the band was good, but the drummer spoiled everything.
The first thing I noticed about this band was the incredible drumming. Just perfect.
The whole group sounds incredible but kudos to the lead guitar player and drummer WOW!!!
Mark Raum yeah Serge is hitting Terry Kath’s solo note for note. Still missing Terry but this has made my day.
Igor Javed Zade, my hero. What a brilliant drummer.
Right? He's flawless
I saw them live for the first time and it's like you're actually listening and watching Chicago, EW&F etc. They are just perfection!
My wife and I caught the 'Leonid and Friends" show in Ft. Wayne, Indiana on Oct. 27 and it honestly far exceeded our expectations. It can be very difficult to sound as good when playing live as when in the recording studio, but the group absolutely sounded fantastic. The audience was all standing at the end of the show and calling for an encore, which the band provided. There manager, too, did a terrific job of engaging with the audience.
The next day my wife and I stopped in to Sweetwater Music Center (a huge nationally known music center located in Ft. Wayne) and saw members of the group in the store. I generally never approach celebrities in public since I don't want to interfere with their privacy but we did end up approaching (after apologizing profusely for the intrusion) the table where several were seated simply to let them know how much we enjoyed the show. I have to say that they were incredibly pleasant and appreciative. I intentionally kept our interaction brief but I have to say that the reaction we received further cemented my impressions that this group of musicians is truly unique.
We drove up from Florida to catch the show and it was well worth the trip. If you get a chance to see the band live don't fail to do so.
Thanks for sharing this. Much appreciated 👍
OMG, I’m from Fort Wayne and never saw it advertised that they were here to perform! Where did they play, the Embassy I am guessing?? Perhaps the Coliseum?
I’d give anything to see them, I’m so impressed! Saw Chicago twice at Franke park Theatre which was great but these guys SO impress me! I’d drive to see them for sure.
Where did they perform at in Fort Wayne? I thank you for your response, very much.
@@technojunkindatrunk They performed at the Clyde. It was a complete sold out full house. When I got to talk to several of them the next day they implied that they will be coming back to Ft. Wayne but of course no dates were given. In light of the support role that Sweetwater plays it seems reasonable to at least hope they will be returning in the not too distant future. I know that they were in Ft. Wayne 2 or 3 years ago, also, since one of my friends caught that show.
Thank you John so much for responding to my question! It is appreciated.
I completely forgot about the Clyde. Back in the day, the early sixties, my parents would drop me and my girlfriend off at the Clyde Theatre whenever the Beatles and Elvis Presley had their movies airing. My God, we were very little then-sure couldn’t do that these days!
I don’t watch tv so I might miss an advertisement of the band coming back but I’ll be on the lookout.
Thanks again. 🙋♀️
I’ve seen them twice at the Florida Theater in Jacksonville. The second show was as mind blowing as the first show I saw two years before even though the original lead guitarist Sergey had departed. The replacement guitarist nailed it as well.
Man how good is this band! The guitarist and drummer are incredible. The horn section spot on. Crazy!
Best band in the world. Yes they're a covers band, but that is just incidental.
Sergey Kashirin is almost as much fun to watch as to listen to. He's almost dancing here sometimes.
Simply Beautiful Guys, is was like being there the first time I heard all of those beautiful instruments and great musical performer's, Thank You for flying me back to the 70's!!!
Same for me ! Like seeing the original Chicago back in the seventies 😂loved them then n now! Love Leonid and friends ❤❤ ❤
Fellows. This is simply the finest Chicago cover I have ever heard!!! Cheers from Indiana USA
unbelievable....guitar player note for note
Holy Crap!! great job!...the guitarist nails Terry Kath with tone & style.
With the minor exception of the lead singers voice sounding SLIGHTLY different from the original, this is hands down the most amazing, acurate, note for note, timing, pitch perfect cover of any song I've ever heard. I doubt if Chicago could do it this perfectly. BRAVO!!!
Oh my God. 50 yrs I've been playing guitar and after watching this I realized... I've learned nothing in those 50 yrs. From what other world beyond ours did these musicians come from? It is a masterpiece.
At least you're good enough to know. Kudos. Me too.
RJ404 De acuerdo con vos
These guys are Russian. Hard to believe, but true. Damn good.
some place called russia
Watch a video of Billy Strings and you'll probably quit playing guitar.
I can't wrap my head around the fact that 149 people gave this a thumbs down. Simply an incredible rendition of this song! These guy's are awesome.
There are a 149 idiots out there. I played all over the country six nights a week in the 70s and 80s, nice clubs too. These guys are great.Reminds me of when Terry was alive.
They're jealous, plain and simple.
Yeah, Doesn't matter !!! what would they know ?
...ALL KNOBHEADS !
This band is unstoppable. Your sound is to the heavens. You have my vote.
Simply extraordinary 🎼🎤🎻🎹👍🎧👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👊🙏from México City.
Sergey tosses that guitar solo off as it he's been playing it since he was born, and yet it's still fresh. And Igor on the drum kit ... is he in the pocket or what?!
Weren't they all in that groove that Chicago originally laid down. If they come back to the states I will try my best to be in their audience. In the late 70's I was a bass player in a trio and we got tickets to attend a Chicago concert in Seattle. The best listening spot is in front of the stage because all you hear are the monitors. Unforgettable. Peter Cetera was wandering around the stage during their performances and I began doing that during our next gig. Boss man said "STOP!"
amen
I have yet to hear Igor be anywhere but in the pocket. I don't even notice most drummers, but this guy just slays!
All of them masters of their craft and they're all havin fun!
I don't know what it means to be in the pocket but I'm going to agree. These guys are phenomenally good!
The thing about music is that there is no race, creed, color, or nationality. There is only the music. It’s like food for the sole. Thank you for such a great tribute and sharing your wonderful talent with us here in America.
LOL ... That would be *soul* , not *sole* . The sole is the bottom of your foot. Thanks for the unintentional giggle!
Works with food too.
@@tixximmi1 ... Yep: Solefood!
And now for a word from our sole experts...
@@beaugunn2632 sole a la meuniere is quite tasty
I was in such disbelief at the accuracy of this cover that I synced it with the original recording... not only is every part perfect, your tempo is better than Chicago's!!! I had to stretch some of their audio where they imperceptibly slowed down, etc. Unbelievable. Best cover I have ever heard of anything. The guitar parts are absolutely note per note perfect, and so is everyone else. I didn't think ANYONE could sing this song, either... perfection!!!
Yes, and perfection only occurs with a studio recording followed by a lot of sound engineering!
Rob Davis see top comment here...
Absolutely 100% spot on.
@parallax3d Yes I did, and I wrote up a blog post on them:
learningtosing.wordpress.com
Keep in mind I'm not saying any of the are in any way "bad," but rather certaing things are not humanly possible
Igor the drummer has such presence and ability! Holds the whole band together effortlessly!!
Absolute perfection....can't stop listening! I saw Leonid & Friends in concert last week and let me say, every bit as good in person! The kind of experience that's hard to find these days.....$35, second row, 10 feet from the stage. Musical excellence and unbridled enthusiasm. After show shook hands with the band and got into the post show selfie. A+++ experience!
San Diego? You're so lucky! 👍👍👍
@@marillion4th393 Haha, not quite.....Modesto.
You one lucky dude!
I had no idea they were Russian! Their English is perfect! And they capture the soul of the music perfectly.
You'd think they were actually born here!
Sergi just kills it on guitar. The vocal is outstanding. Each member is truly gifted. Bravo!
Totally love the brass fill towards the end of the guitar solo❤
I need help. I cant stop watching this video. That chorus is so spot on.
That is along with that guitar solo.
And those drums.
The horns.
PLEASE HELP.
I do not understand why anybody gives a negative. These guys are perfect.
Nice job... 2 thumbs up..
Plus 2 big toes up..
What's the point of listening to a note for note cover when you can listen to a note for note original by the original band Chicago.
Not every tune is note for note. Leonid and Friends add some embellishments that you will not hear on the original recordings (sax solo, string sections etc.).In respect to listening - the technology that exists now far outweighs what was available 50 years ago. I still listen to my old Chicago albums once in a while, but once I heard the quality of Leonid's recordings the old Chicago albums are spending more time on the shelf.I had the pleasure of seeing the original Chicago lineup 6 or 7 time in the early seventies. No-one will match those performances, not even the current line up of Chicago. I'll have my chance to see if Leonid and Friends are even close to Chicago in a live performance in Clearwater Florida next month. They kick off their U.S. tour in LA in a little over 2 weeks.
Whoever is giving a thumb down to these guys don’t know crap 💩 about music. It’s not competition,it’s rendition, Chicago as a band and the USA 🇺🇸 should be proud of being given the world so much talent and good music.
Because people are just angry and jealous as fuck and have nothing better to do than sit in their trailers
Fake Negatives!
You guys not only reproduce the music so accurately, but you put your hearts and souls into it which is what makes the REAL difference. You're the best!
It's not mimacry... it's as original and astounding as the original... better/best/different/ super!
No one even comes close to covering Chicago like you! Wow! Chicago would be proud and maybe even jealous!
Man these guys are a perfect clone to the real thing, very impressive and talented
Only better! See them in person and see what I mean!
Wow, i got 45 years younger in an instant!
Me too....and that would make me two days old...which is probably the first time I heard this...in Park Forest South, Chicago, IL.
That Kashirin is one hell of a guitar player.
Use to listen to this on drugs 40 years ago and here I am still on drugs listening to it. Though the drugs these days are keeping me alive. ;-)
joe graves 😂good one. Glad you are alive and enjoying this.
You will never be satisfied.
Unless you turn to Jesus! Take care.
I didn't use "recreational" drugs of any kind back then or since then including alcohol or nicotine, and I don't need or take any drugs now to keep me alive or otherwise. I feel great. Coincidence? Maybe, but I think probably not.
@William Moore borrrrrrrrrrrrrrring
Such a treat to listen to 25 or 6 to 4 and see how it's done by professional musicians in a studio. 😃 Thanks Leonid & Friends 😃
In a word, they are all excellent musicians and their love of the band Chicago is heartwarming
Easily one of the best covers I've ever listened to, well done! Keep up the good music!
Finally, I am still trying to comprehend this band. I am not sure why I believe they do Chicago better than Chicago. How is that even possible!
These fellas probably haven't gone through a heavy cocaine phase.
I'm not trying to take anything away from this band, in fact I would gladly see them, they are all fantastic musicians, but realize what you're hearing are many multiple tracks and with many musicians recorded with excellent modern production and post production audio equipment and software. While of course the original Chicago recorded multi track (like all bands) it was just the 7 of them, drummer, guitarist, bass, keys and three horns, and they sounded fantastic live despite lacking the control of digital processing at the time. When Leonid and Friends tour, the're using up to 11 musicians on stage to recreate Chicago's sound. Then there is the whole subject of creating of such fantastic songs. Better than Chicago? Quite silly.
@@frankkolton1780 Leonid and Friends sound amazingly close to the original recordings of all the songs they cover because that's what they had to copy. Leonid was a very accomplished composer and musician in Moscow before retiring at age 60 I guess 3 or 4 years ago.
As a gift to himself he took the original song by Chicago and transcribed the music for each instrument by ear. He noticed that the studio version of several Chicago songs had more instruments than the live version. He went with what he knew and loved and enlisted the assistance of around 11 singer/musicians he was very familiar with. Most of them speak very little English but that doesn't really matter, you copy what you hear as you hear it. When people say better than Chicago, they mean better than Chicago can play the songs now, not the original recording. The lead vocalist can hit notes Peter Cetera rarely could outside the studio. I've never seen anyone come that close to Terry Kath on the lead guitar as this young man does.
Chicago stopped recording albums before Bill Champlin left and became effectively a tribute band to themselves. Robert Lamm and Jim Pankow are great entertainers and musicians and have been for over 50 years. Lamm wrote 25 or 6 to 4 in 1969 and it was on their second album, climbing to #5 on the singles charts. That version is all Leonid knows so that's how they play it.
As good as they are all around..and the guitar was excellent...go back and watch old vids of Terry Kath....no one has been able to duplicate him.
Jimi Hendrix said Kath was the best guitar player he ever heard!
@@wallyburdalski3326 I agree but this young man comes close. Hendrix's actual words were, "I'm good, but that cat can play!" Same thing.
I can't believe my ears, this is the most incredible cover I think I've ever heard....amazing musicianship, note by note, instrument by instrument....and the lead guitar player did Terry Kath proud.
Great track and solo electric guitarist. Magnificent cover.
the lead guitarist does an AWESOME & AMAZING Terry Kath!! Great tribute.
why so good???? incredible performance, Sergey knocks out, really really good, congrats again guys!
the guy playing the guitar is in the groove, the drummer right behind him,the vocals hell they speak for themselves,this group is amazing,truly amazing,KATH WOULD BE PROUD,this guy followed him,damn fine work boys
Estos chiquillos estan bien. Se nota que estan avalados por la experiecia.Se deduce que hay mucho trabajo en los temas que hacen. Se apegan al maximo a las caracteristicas del tema original.(Soy baterista- I'm a drummer, see you later). From Chile👍🖐🥁🎼
Neat...! Great sound..
Serge on vocals!! A master! Sergey on guitar! Amazing!
The dude is doing a great Terry Kath!!! These guys are really good.
The best cover band I’ve ever heard. I’m a big fan. Wish they would perform in NJ.
I am speechless watching this. Absolutely incredible, a complete live replication of the original recording down to every note, vocal, and horn part. Congratulations guys! WOW!
This is technically and acoustically better than Chicago's original version. Thank you. It was a pleasure to listen to your rendition.
I agree. They reproduce with perfection on how the original is played. I'm a musician looking at all parts and see the excellence. The Musical Box does the same with Genesis perfecting how it was originally played.
In fairness tech has come a long way in 40 years.
@Boxings Greatest Fighters In Full Color - Nor are they likely dealing with the drug culture of the 60s and 70s. :)
difference de clarté ente digital et analogique
Never better than than the RAW original
Not much blows me away but this blows me away. They are to Chicago as The Fab Faux are to The Beatles.
I already have my ticket to The Fab Four at the Palace of fine Art's in SF, Ca not on sale to the public yet March 2018. This will be the 2nd year in a row in the 2nd row where nobody sits in the front row. Not a bad seat in the house. Kinda like an IMAX theatre. I agree with the analogy. Been into CTA since the 1st album back in the day wore it out immediately. Introduction...was in Terry head, WTF? Yowza! Listen to them here: ruclips.net/video/u2jzBxmhjZs/видео.html
Maximum Respect to all who visit here ~ Loo
Even more so!
Studa, I just saw Chicago last Summer and I can say they didn't sound anything like this. These gys are beyond good and I have to admit, in my opinion, better than Chicago.
I guess from some of the comments I've read nobody has considered the very diverse ages of all involved(that's SO cool btw) and that English isn't their first language and its very hard to learn, especially switching alphabets too! Just THE biggest props to them!!!
I saw too a lot of older gents which thrilled me. I was a teen in the 60’s, and Chicago was my favorite, and I was born and raised in Chicago.
Freakin love this ❤ 🙌 🔥 🎶 🎵 🪕 🎼 I, along with others here can't stop listening Amazing
♥️ from ☀️ California
I’m so hooked on these guys I can’t stop watching these videos!
My heart hurts for the guitarist and vocalist who have been separated from the band for sad reasons of war and politics. I am American and this is shocking, very shocking to even an African American.
Yes it's terrible what's happening with them n others in the Ukraine 😭🙏 praying for all of them and that the wars end Now
L&F is a major class act for being outspoken of the war from the very start and raising money for their Ukrainian former bandmates.
Sending Love and Prayers to All 🙏 ❤️🥲
@@pmcreative2221 I’m praying too. ☹️🙏🏼
Grateful to have FREEDOM 😎🦓
rad guitarist and drummer. so tight.
johnpleung tell me about it! The whole thing is incredibly precise and good musical communication among the band. Like kickass clockwork.
1:52 This band is GREAT!!! Saw them On The Blue Cruise 2024 ; the place was rocking and everyone was blown away! The brass, sax, vocals, and rhythm section are all top notch. Added bonus - band members are very friendly. See them once and you’ll be back again. GO!!!
This is absolutely superb! The musicianship is incredible, so much so even the original members of Chicago have to admire this.
Omg the guitar solo was absolutely spot on. This band is amazing. I played out for years in the eighties with some of the best musicians in conn. This band i am convinced is the best group of musicians I've ever heard in my whole life.
Chicago now sounds like a polished frank sinatra back up band . These guys sound like the original raw energy . This cover is perfect in every way . This is the first time I have ever heard anyone play like Terry .
That's the sad thing about being in the music game for a long time, you lose that energy you once had.
Fantastic. Thank you for all the energetic memories. GREAT. Need nothing , guys.
Wowww The Guitar Player is Tearing It Up!!!!!!!
as this is my favorite Chicago song I keep coming back to this cover again and again. It really is phenomenal how much this sounds like the actual band Chicago. I really am blown away by this.
We were on our feet rocking n singing this in Kansas City last nite😂 the entire crowd sang this and Saturday in the park❤So much fun👏👏👏👏
Wow... Really good job.. Terry Cath. Reincarnated... Great horns , drums .. Bass.. Singing.. Keys..
"THAT WAS AWESOME" !!!!
The guitarist has an uncanny feel for the fretboard . All props to Terry Kath, but this guy can feel the same the same groove . Outstanding performance by an admirer .
Wow. Another exceptional Chicago cover. Fantastic performance by everyone.
The lead guitar player and drummer are just awesome on this.
I have not heard a better tribute band ever.
