I have tried several times to get reactors to consider going down the rabbit hole on this band, but, so far you are among the only ones who have taken a risk on a "cover band.". I have seen them 3 times and marvel at the talent. I also love that they are enjoying this music so much, with the smiles from the string players. Thank you Harri for digging into this group. I really hope you get to see them live.
According to the pros, Chicago themselves view these artists as a "Tribute" band with other groups such as EW&F also counting themselves as fans. They are catching the world by storm and i have been fortunate to have seen them perform twice so far. Extremely gregarious group of people. Try to see/hear them if y'all can.
Fantastic as always. Instruments spot on and the vocals reminiscent of the original Peter Cetera great hit. I love this band, always a treat. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Daniel. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I have become addicted to this band and I am so enjoying your reaction/comments to the songs you talk about. I really like how you stop here and there to show your feelings about a certain place or part, especially with this band. I look forward to more of your posts again especially with Leonid & Friends. All the best Hari!!! Bob Love - Los Angeles
Bittersweet viewing as both "Sergeys" (Serge lead vocal and Sergey, guitar) are no longer with them, due to the Ukraine war and doing his own gigs, respectively. I saw them twice here in the US in this iteration (minus orchestra) and they were fabulous.
Нынешние солисты Даниил и Михаил тоже хороши, но Сергей просто великолепен, очень легко берет высокие ноты, тембр голоса очень чистый! Я тоже с Украины. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Wow! Daniel, you have found a real gem. I’m not normally a fan of covers like this but I have to make an exception for this one. What an amazing performance! Obviously Harri agrees. Thank you Daniel and Harri. 🌺✌️
It's a beautiful reminder that we can't judge other peoples by their leaders. ...We all share music that we all love. It separates us from the politics and unites us all.
This is an incredible cover band… incredible. They sound more like Chicago than Chicago!!! Incredible compliment to cover Chicago with such attention to preciseness and exactness. Awesome compliment to the great band, Chicago.
L&F are fabulous.....The musicians Leonid assembles are awesome...Love the faces of everyone as they sing/play....do they enjoy what they do? AND check out Ksenia's videos......"Superstar"..."Never Felt This Way"...."All the Difference in the World"...."One Last Cry"....
Flawless. Attention to the details like the wah pedal towards the end, the short notes on the brass section, funky feel in the guitar, etc. IMO, Igor on the drums holds the song together. Terry Kath was the original guitarist and baritone who died by accident in 1978.
Yeah on the accents, same with the across the pond UK English and American English, LOL...even different accents in the US don't come across that much when you sing because it comes from the vocal box and larynx for vibration. I don't normally listen to cover bands because not sure if they'll do a good enough job or not. I don't always listen to others who do others music that I grew up with, don't want them ruining it or making it better, ha ha, called don't mess with my fav group songs or memory! Not sure they could pull off Kath's voice ;-) or anyone else for that matter. But was fun to watch them and see how they did. I don't know who sang harmony on this, they didn't show them. Thanks for the reaction.

This was fantastic. You should check out a guy called Marc Parent and his Steely Dan covers of "New Frontier", "Babylon Sisters" etc. I saw them posted by the drummer her on YT channel dimsunk.
i definitely detect an accent... there are some words in english that they pronounce differently than we do.. it's like the current commercial for State Farm Insurance, when Arnold Schwarzenegger says, "like a good neigh-bah...." because they don't really have an R sound in Austria...
Everything about this is fabulous ! You had me until you named the Sing. These sappy live songs are Beta Chicago… Terry Kath … Alfa Chicago. There’s some great covers by this group but this isn’t one of them Great cover of a sappy pop song
You cannot take away the musical legacy of the original band, but getting rid of Danny on Drums changed the chemistry for the worse. I have seen both bands and Leonid is putting on a far better show with superior musicianship. Great vid.
The lead singer on this song is Ukranian and he had to return home because of the war. I believe the rest are all Russians. This is my understanding. I think I can guarantee to a person...that none of them want that stupid war.
Why would anyone react to it? This is the internet, I can get any song or show by the actual Chicago with the same number of clicks. This is a bunch of kids in a cover band. You will fit the bill when I am at a bar with a beer. Although it looks like most of these people are not even 21-years of age.
Hate to correct you but you're totally wrong about Leonid and Friends, they are all hand picked and most play in orchestras in Russia. I have seen them live twice and I don't"t believe over 4 are under 30. You need to do a little research before you spout off.
Come on get this stuff off. The only thing these people are selling out our high school band room practice rooms. As mentioned before Chicago, Liz forever on the Internet I’m not interested in any kind of remake especially by a bunch of kids and every time I watch Chicago it brings up more of this crap, give it a thumbs down and get it out of here. By the way, how many of you people actually know where the phrase go down the rabbit hole comes from? Certainly nobody this age.
@@myysupenguinsIf you can bring back Terry Kath I will buy tickets to it. Until then give me this band which is the best cover band on earth IMO. Sadly the war has divided this cover band up, So now they have a cover of a cover band, Unfortunate, 😔
There are so many layers of sweet sounds all in harmony. Not a note sung or played out of place. It's such a beautiful song to begin with.
Красота и точность исполнения потрясают !!! ❤👏
This is the best cover band ever!!! They never cease to amaze me! They are just remarkably talented! Another great request! Thanks Harri!
Phenomenal!! I am so impressed! Kudos to this group. 🙏😊
Sends chills down my spine. They are amazing!!! Great version. 🔥
The quality of these musicians and the vocals are over the top. But what wows me is the pure joy they emit as they perform.
I agree Frank. On the other hand, wouldn’t you be this full of joy playing such great music and being able to come so close to the original? 😊

love a good cover band. the band geeks, hindley street country club, lexington lab band so many good ones out there and no copyright risks lol.
Harri’s got excellent taste, doesn’t he? ❤
Those violinists were grinning ear to ear like they were just loving every minute of it!
These folks are simply phenomenal. Truly outstanding!!! ❤❤❤

I just love this Chicago song and they do it so beautifully. Thanks Daniel and Harri.
I had an inkling you would like it Cyn. 😉👍🙃🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🤴
У музыкантов лица просто светятся! Я очарован этой невероятной группой..
E Leonid and Friends, they are amazing! Such incredible talent ❤
This group of artists is like eating a New York cheese cake! Just can't get enough of them!

Да вы правы у Сергея Тегнирядно потрясающий, великолепный голос!

@@СветаПанкова-э2дСпасибо! Я с Леонидом Воробьевым и Ксенией с города Читы, что в Забайкалье. Горжусь такими земляками. Вам всего светлого!!!
OMG what a voice! So clear and resonant ❤
L&F capture the Chicago sound so perfectly.
Love the reaction Harri to this great, favourite band. See Sergey using a different guitar for his solo.
Wow! Daniel, you have found a real gem. I’m not normally a fan of covers like this but I have to make an exception for this one. What an amazing performance! Obviously Harri agrees. Thank you Daniel and Harri. 🌺✌️
Thanks Debbie, I feel the same way about covers but these guys have got it right. 🙃👍🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🤴
It's a beautiful reminder that we can't judge other peoples by their leaders. ...We all share music that we all love.
It separates us from the politics and unites us all.
It was wonderful, great performance, Chicago (their songs) was great!
Oh my goodness!!! This was just lovely!!! Thank you Daniel and Harri!!! I truly enjoyed this!!! WOW 🤩✌️♥️♥️🎼👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the nice remarks. 👍🙃
Damn, these guys are great!!!
Beautiful!!

That was absolutely Beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏☮️

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.......
Brilliant!! ☮️❤️
It just doesn't get any Better then This!!!! Guitar Solo 12 string Guitar, what Tone!!!
Exquisite. I am amazed.
They are so good. The girl can really sing well too
The effen talent of this group is craaaaazy
This is epic! 🩷
So beautiful!
Flawless. Attention to the details like the wah pedal towards the end, the short notes on the brass section, funky feel in the guitar, etc. IMO, Igor on the drums holds the song together. Terry Kath was the original guitarist and baritone who died by accident in 1978.
I grew up playing trumpet (brass instruments), so I love horn sections. Chicago, EWF, TOP, and of course Blood Sweat and Tears (check them out).
They must put on a great show. Thanks Daniel for the request and thanks Harri for the reaction, I appreciate you.
Thanks Clint for your kind remarks. 👍🙃🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧
Thank you Daniel and Harri ❤ One of my absolut favorit Chicago songs 🥰👍🤩
Cannot ad more than has already been said 😊😀👍
Thank you so much for your complimentary remarks. 👍🙃🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🤴
Sounds prety much like the original song! 😊😊
Love your channel Harri. Keep up the good tunes.

Boy but they sound as good as Chicago, and that is saying a lot. Great great cover.
These guys are so damn good. Almost better than Chicago.
Listen to their version of beginnings

Elton John said we sing without our accents because all the music we listened to was American and that’s how they sang.
Fantastic, check out Introduction and I'm a man plus Woman don't want to love me. Thanks Scott
This was fantastic. You should check out a guy called Marc Parent and his Steely Dan covers of "New Frontier", "Babylon Sisters" etc. I saw them posted by the drummer her on YT channel dimsunk.
Who is the singer? I've never seen them. Fantastic!
Serge Tiagniryadno is from Ukraine and, unfortunately, no longer with the band.
Check out "Street Player" and "You Are On My Mind".
They are equal to CHICAGO
Sadly Serge the lead singer is from Ukraine and is no longer in the band.
I heard that also. Hope he is still alive and safe. What a great singer.
i definitely detect an accent... there are some words in english that they pronounce differently than we do.. it's like the current commercial for State Farm Insurance, when Arnold Schwarzenegger says, "like a good neigh-bah...." because they don't really have an R sound in Austria...
two Serg's

Is it me or is the baseline a bit heavy in the mix?

The former keyboard player in the band was good but had a very nasty demeanor with fans.
Sorry Harri but Terry Kath was a much better singer and Robert Lamb is the 2nd best. Love Leonid.
Terry was great. Robert was good. But there is only one Cetera. Just my opinion.
