I wish I had half the energy of the sax player! He's such a card and I love watching him perform. I love watching all of them. They are such amazing musicians and SO talented.
X I cannot get enough of this group. So glad I got to see them live earlier this year in Myrtle Beach South Carolina they were absolutely Beyond fabulous
These friends from Russia are better than Chicago Band at Chicago Band music. They give a strong run at beating EW&F. I love all of them for their friendliness and kindness.
Saw them on Saturday night, for the second time. It kills me that these people up front can just sit there, slightly bobbing their heads. It's like they don't get what they're seeing. I had to get up and dance. I might be getting a little older, but I'm going out with a bang and I will see these guys every chance I get!
Having seen CTA back in the day I can honestly say this is a beautifully done tribute. I close my eyes and am transported back to Manhattan College in 1969 watching them all over again. Then I open my eyes and remember we how we missed the last train to Jersey.
@@LouBonacci not really sure. I just know it was put on by the college. This is really weird. I'm sitting here right now listening to Chicago's version of I'm a Man. And by the way, Guess Who opened.
I remember seeing Chicago in Gaelic Park 1969. I had been married to my first wife for a few weeks and I told her she had to see this new group. We both loved the show.
How wonderful that so talented musicians come to US from Russia! I bought 3 of your cds, are you planning to release some DVDs? I cant get enough of your music and eye candy. Exceptional!!!
Oh gosh!!! How fine is that? Added points: like any proper r&b/pop star band, they now have dance routines! Built in! Yes!!!! (Confession here: my first band gig was playing bass in a CTA cover band )..didn't much love the music....but when me and the brass section came down stage to do some serious Philly style choreography, the audience would always go nuts....Hmmm, I said....might be something to this stuff.. Fast forward 60+ years...still works just fine.... To Leonid and your fabulous band...thanks so much!!!!
Love these guys. I've been to about 3 or 4 of their concerts. Coming this year again to OKC!!!!!!! Oct 4. I've also got tickets to their Kansas City concert on Sept 30! That will be a really good week!
Loved this band dearly for several years, and no reflection on any one individual, as obviously I don't know any of them personally. BUT, for me, I just can't watch them since the invasion of Ukraine.. This video happened to pop up, and not having followed them for almost two years, it's pretty obvious they have declined.. Sorry, I am not a hater, just hate this war!
Hey friend, appreciate their talent and the Real Truth about what's Really going on in the Ukraine will be Revealed Soon.. it's kinda why we are seeing them so much now...😊
It's not fair to judge Leonid and Friends based on this amateur video from the audience. The professional studio rehearsal videos are CD quality. If both Sergies performed in this video it would have sounded no better. You can hear the drums as powerful and skilled as ever but the recording is just not good, nor could it be without hooking up to the soundboard.
Bad?! Have you been listening to the music they have done in the past couple of years? I am not saying they are better, but Dani, Michael, and Koni have brought equal amounts talent to the band , and their latest tributes such as Fantasy and Superstar have been as good as anything they have done before.
WE SHOULD BE RESPECTFUL AS BOTH LOST FAMILY IN UKRAINE, AND HAD TO RETURN HOME. I AM WELL ACQUAINTED WITH MANY OF THEM, AND THEY HAVE MADE ADJUSTMENTS. SO, LET'S RESPECT THEIR EXTREME TALENT GROUP-WIDE, EVEN WITH 2 MEMBERS NOT THERE!
I still miss Sergey Kashirin's phenomenal lead guitar and vocals.
no doubt hope he resurfaces in his own band.
Misssss serge, sergey and vlad badlyyyy ... with them classes better
Still pretty amazing guitar skills!
I agree!! He is a super talented player!!
Why did he leave the group?
I wish I had half the energy of the sax player! He's such a card and I love watching him perform. I love watching all of them. They are such amazing musicians and SO talented.
bit annoying at times
Awesome! I have had the pleasure several times of attending a Chicago concert. I would definetly pay money to see you guys live!
X I cannot get enough of this group. So glad I got to see them live earlier this year in Myrtle Beach South Carolina they were absolutely Beyond fabulous
Great!
Great, superbly consistent band. Followed them from the beginning. Never tire of this classic.
These friends from Russia are better than Chicago Band at Chicago Band music. They give a strong run at beating EW&F. I love all of them for their friendliness and kindness.
I gotta go see their concert, no more excuse for me👏👏👏
Very impressive. What a great singer!
Nobody can play Terry's Solo like he did. Not before or since..,probably Ever.
❤Agree 💯...
Just Tight as F and incredibly entertaining! Endless kudos

Trumpet player is killing it!
Dude can make that Blue Telecaster SCREAM !!! but everyone is FAB !
That's no tele
You must've been right in front of me. I mean RIGHT in front of me. Crazy. I'm ready for Oct.
What a wonderful performance!♥

Was it @ Gaelic Park?

I saw several concerts @ Gaelic park..ELP..Yes..Cat Stevens.. Allman Brothers ..

Great group and amazing singing and guitar skills, love the Brass - so much energy!
and one woodwind
Again so cool Must be the best live Cheers
A close 2nd would be Lexington Lab Band!
Pretty good lead player. Of course, Mr. Kath came up with all that on the fly.
How wonderful that so talented musicians come to US from Russia! I bought 3 of your cds, are you planning to release some DVDs? I cant get enough of your music and eye candy. Exceptional!!!
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS ! I WANTED TO BE THERE BUT LIFE GOT IN THE WAY !
Love it!
Excellent in every way😁
This brings tears to my eyes
Oh gosh!!! How fine is that?

Yes I will be there n counting the days😂❤❤❤
As an old fk and lifelong Chicago fan ... A W E S O M E. Don't usually like covers but this group is fantastic.
I would rather see them than the current version of Chicago.
@@larryk731 Yup!
Fantastic!!
Tremenda banda musical sobretodo la hermozura de la dama.
Love the sound and you folks Please come to MONCTON NB
I have tickets to see them tomorrow 😊
Me too. Blue Ocean
Super Incredible! Truly From,
Darlene*Elmwood Park, Chicago, Il
Looking forward to Oct. 4th.
Chicago, still alive....
11/10
The best. Maybe better than the current Chicago lineup.
They should go do a couple shows in Chicago because, where else could you find that band of the same name at?
Is this the same guy playing lead on their other video. Don’t think so good but not the same
They always sound great. The horn section is not quite as tight as it is in the studio.
Saw them for the third time last month!
Divo kretek nikmat 🥸🤓😜😎🌼🌞🌝
Only one band did it better - and that was nearly 50 years ago!
American music in the 60s in the 70s was the best music ever made
About being in Cook county jail-
Michael P. does, in liue of Serge 🇺🇦place...
Shit!! This war some band members not available because just to depend againts his brother...

sounds like a school of rock band to me replete with 10 players? an ok cover but sorely lacking the energy and vibe at least for me

how bad they sound now without the 2 best band mates Serge and Serge just a basic weekend cover band now
I sadly have to agree Been debating whether to see them live 🤠 or not!
I think the biggest loss was Sergey's (original guitarist) vocals.
What happened to Serge?

Good band with annoying saxophoneplayer
Sax player is truly starved for attention. Let the guitarist solo without mugging for the camera! Being the clown the entire song is distracting.
He is a jerk
Yeah, if they wanted that, they'd've called Stamos.
Qué malos son esos personajes, 👎🏻
Well, that rocked.
