Looking at the schedule, good for the band, but bad for me, I see they are getting the recognition they deserve doing larger, and more expensive venues, and they are performing farther away. But I hope to see them in Connecticut again this year. They already sold out the Ridgefield Playhouse. I'm hoping to see them at the Mohegan Sun Casino. That's closer to me anyway.
@@LeonidVorobyevandfriendsI'll have to check that venue's website as it's not on your. That, or Mohegan, I"d love to catch another show. I'm too poor for the cruise. 😜 Oh yeah, just found it. If my brother in law wants to go I'm going, and am going to pay for the meet, and greet.
Can we now say that the greatest Chicago tribute band in the world is now officially also the greatest Earth, Wind, and Fire tribute band in the world?! I think YES!!! 🥳👏🎉
And they're having fun! I've seen many tribute bands, and the real deal, and they don't always look like they're into it. These people are the entire package!
Too much cannot be said of Leonid's ability to create note-for-note transcriptions of the original songs. The strings and brass are all playing off charts of his creation
They are truly ambassadors. Miss Sergey and Serge, but Koni, Michel and Danii are doing quite well and have really helped Leonid keep his retirement project alive.
My wife, Cyndie, and I were at the Clearwater, Florida concert and when this song started, Cyndie had to get over to the aisle to dance. She danced for 2 songs until the usher asked her to take her seat. At the meet & greet, when we got with the band for the photo, Leonid told Cyndie, "I saw you dancing out there!" Fantastic time... ❤
After 50+ years as a pro musician, I can say these productions by L&F set the highest bench marks in every category. If a producer can even come close to this level, he is in the golden zone.
My Russian and Ukrainian brethren thanks for coming together in spite of the troubles you guys are facing! God bless y'all from America! Keep spreading the joy of our music ! You guys are next level true musicians! God bless!
First, the production of this track is so good. Then, my goodness -- the bass, the lead vocalist, the women singers, the horns, the strings. 11 out of 10.
Instruments and vocals are defined by a cover of the 70's greatest disco dance ever to be produced in American soil! This foreign band has passed certification and authenticity of unique style and quality of how to demonstrate a MASTERPIECE done on USA!
Me too! Seeing such joy in the performance of beloved tunes from my early years is compelling in itself -- even without the *Brilliant* musicianship and production. But from these folks it's *always* brilliant!
"Boogie Wonderland" is probably my favorite EWF song. I grew up listening to this group. I am in awe. I am speechless. Tears are rolling down my cheeks. This band is phenomenal. If you close your eyes and listen to this, you will swear it's actually EWF.
Leonid & Friends are amazing! I only discovered their videos 2 weeks ago, but feel like I am reliving my youth in a 65 year old body. The energy, enthusiasm and respect shown to EWF, Chicago, Tower of Power and all the artists’ music that they cover brings back so many wonderful memories of my younger days, giving me even greater appreciation for living in a time of such creative and dynamic musical forces. I can look at that part of my life and truly say, “Those were the good ole days!” I am convinced that the love of great music and the passion with which original artists’ work is preserved by the great Leonid & Friends is a unifying and loving force in the world today. Thank you! Thank you!
I completely agree with everything you say here; and that makes me want to encourage you to go see L&F live somewhere. I'm 69, and I've seen the band live in concert three times in the last four years; and somehow I get younger every time. Last time they came thru northeast Florida I was able to attend a meet & greet with the band after the show. Obviously they are all very talented; but also so warm and friendly and funny (even the few who seem to speak no English).
Leonid: let’s take the most complex, heavily orchestrated songs of all time and make them even better. What a fun, talented group of friends having fun together. We get a front row seat!
I In '79 when this song was released, I was 14 years old, I listened to it until the vinyl record was actually destroyed by so many plays. today I am 59 years old and I listen to it with tears of joy in my eyes, brought back to life by this fabulous band. All my respects to these sensational artists!
Danil with the shades (and buttoned down polyester shirt!) and the three gals harmonizing is pure EW&F bliss! Love the groove and joy everyone in this band puts out!
WOW...just wow. The girls, the lead, the saxophones, the brass, but the STRINGS are working up a sweat. I danced to this song when it came out. Leonid, you have out done yourself and that is WONDERLAND WONDERFUL
Is it even possible to replicate this dynamic fast-paced dance track by EWF? This is an incredible tribute by Leonid and the gang. The harmonies, instrumentation and groove of the original song is honored and given a breath of fresh air. So infectious and smooth. Joyous. ❤
This multi winds, multi strings, multi percussion arrangement resulted in a "multi" sensational and astonishing musical rendering. Absolutely beyond amazing. The combination of voice pitches of the girls coupled with Danil's lead voice are really a class by itself. So good guys!!
Nonsense. I don’t have the time to list numerous songs that the original artists butchered, only to have another band come along and nail the original score. Nice try.
That was the greatest recreation of the soulful sound of EWF, EVER! The guy on lead vocals was SPOT ON with Phil Bailey & Maurice White’s vocal sounds! And the ladies were awesome. What can be said about the musicians, except PHENOMENAL!! They are the best I’ve ever heard!! And their Chicago tributes are incredible as well!👍👍👍🎼🎶
Perfection as usual Leonid & Friends! I love it! Great job Danil, singing the lead vocal parts of Maurice AND Philip! Great job Ksenia, Irina and Angelina perfectly replicating The Emotions' gorgeous harmonies and blend! And of course the band is locked, the rhythm section and horns are dazzling, really. The extra percussion is locked, the strings are vibrant. I can't wait to see you nail this live!
The audio engineers get a big time shout out for their contribution. If we can’t hear it then we won’t feel it! Your team delivered the full dynamic range, I felt it, I love you for it❤
@@peterd.9522 Of course, but he is the mastermind behind it. Kinda like Alan Parsons, he had a lot of help but he is the engineer of note of many albums.
@@Straydogger.... maybe I couldn't find words to express what I meant....help me now....RACE or descended , because like you said names came in when they finished the song. Different cultures around the world?
Most excellent! Especially with headphones or ear buds! Lots of EMOTIONS with these 3 pretty ladies. That drummer, those horns, those strings and all them keys! There's a lot going on here. I've already listened to this 10 times today. This is a great song to start off your day !!!
The joy that Leonid must experience as these young musicians execute perfectly the music he has masterfully transcribed, must be beyond thrilling. He catches nuances and adds emphasis to them by mixing each of them a little more prominently than was done in the original ewf recording. This guy is a gifted pro!!!
I saw them live in Lynn, MA, a year ago. They bring as much joy in their live performance as you see here. Leonid's son was a great MC, with a great sense of humor. "Growing up as a boy in Siberia, it was always my dream to perform in Lynn Massachusetts."
I'm a old deejay starting back in 1979 as a Mobile Deejay and doing gigs at roller/ice rinks through the years. The last 10 years I've been an internet deejay and every time I hear a Leonid & Friends cover, it brings tears to my eyes...such a class act! It's an impressive feat of artistic quality coupled with hard-work that they cover beautifully in each song. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane of my youth.
American here - I am absolutely amazed by this! Watching this song being replicated, I am stunned by HOW MUCH is going on in the music! Then I try to understand how my dear Leonid can actually HEAR everything going on in the recording and then transcribe it all . I am simply amazed. Thank you, sir!
Leonid & Friends aren't just the best cover band or tribute band, they the BEST band PERIOD. They are literally the best band in the world. I continue to be flabbergasted as how gifted the individuals in this band is. The musicians & singers in this group are truly talent on loan from God. I'm an old guy who remembers when Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire came out, have all their albums and have seen both in concert multiple times and I can sincerely say that Leonid and Friends sound EXACTLY like them.
I can’t stop listening to this version …. Absolutely PHENOMENAL!👏👏❤️ we saw L&F in Milwaukee last September. The performance was fantastic. We love hearing new releases. Thank you Leonid & Friends!!
Another jaw-dropping performance by L & F. Why am I not surprised? Stratospheric musicianship, as usual. Someone above really said it. The don't do "covers." They revivify the originals, recreate them breathe new life into them. Thank you once again. The example you are setting for the world goes far beyond your superb musicianship. You remind us of the brother- and sisterhood we all share.
Awesome rendition of an Earth Wind and Fire classic! And The Emotions would be impressed by the background vocals of the 3 young women.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I never get tired of being blown away by the talent of these musicians. It is no doubt a lot of hard work over many many hours, but you all seem to genuinely enjoy what you are doing.
Love this band! I grew up with Chicago and Earth a wind and Fire and these aren't covers. They are exactly like the originals. So glad to have found them.
Really excellent performance by everyone there. Love Igor and Leonid driving the rhythm. Danny did an exceptional job on the lead vocal. He covers EW&F songs so perfectly. Also have to give kudos to Ksenia, Irina and the newest Angelina. They absolutely killed those background vocals.
Been a while since we've seen a new L&F drop, and boy was this worth the wait! I've known every note of this tune for the past 45 years since its release on the I Am album in 1979, and it was one of EWF's most complex arrangements...and L&F nailed every part of it! The vocals, the horns, the strings, the keys, the percussion, everything!

Yes.
Wow!!!!!!!!!
Awesome!!!
Yes and yes

Take notice. This is how it's done. No gimmicks, no special effects, just pure talent.

YES!!!
Absolutely,top drawer 🎼👌❤️
Today, MANY people do ‘covers.’ Leonid and Friends don’t do covers.
Leonid and Friends bring the ORIGINAL to LIFE.
Too much cannot be said of Leonid's ability to create note-for-note transcriptions of the original songs. The strings and brass are all playing off charts of his creation
You got that right.
K'n A right! And they look like they have so much fun doing them! Go see them in concert, it's well worth it! :)
Nicely said!
Perfectly said.
Politicians devide the world. Music brings the world back together. Leonid & Friends provide the solid bond to hold them united.
True words based on facts.
They are truly ambassadors.
Miss Sergey and Serge, but Koni, Michel and Danii are doing quite well and have really helped Leonid keep his retirement project alive.
Well said!..
Music and dance bring people together
Agree
The lead singer is pure magic!! The whole band is just mind blowing!! Such talent !!
He always has the coolest clothes and style, too. They all do. Proper class.
My wife, Cyndie, and I were at the Clearwater, Florida concert and when this song started, Cyndie had to get over to the aisle to dance. She danced for 2 songs until the usher asked her to take her seat. At the meet & greet, when we got with the band for the photo, Leonid told Cyndie, "I saw you dancing out there!" Fantastic time... ❤
It's a happy song!
Just loved this! Thanks
Really, she was told to sit down?!? Figures, it was FLORIDA! Boogie on!
@@MaureenC143 You mean Nazida?
Was there as well. Capitol Theater had great sound!
After 50+ years as a pro musician, I can say these productions by L&F set the highest bench marks in every category. If a producer can even come close to this level, he is in the golden zone.
It is off the wall spectacular. I am in the space as well.
👌👌👌
私は70歳日本人です。当時私はアースウィンドファイアーに魅了されていました。それを凌駕するほどのサウンドです。素晴らしい。

I am 74 and I just did.😀
@@dougrose2452 I am 72 and I did as well 😂, Let's get on down and boogie..
I am also 73 and want to get up and dance!
Don’t let years on the calendar prevent you from moving to the rhythm of music. 😂
Me too😂 us old guys can still dance but not for long. 77 here. When we had good music.
Look who’s got da funk… those Russians got da funk!!! Nobody has ever covered EWF any better than L&F. Kudos to Leonid for the engineering too. Wow!
Seriously. That’s a very dense mix with a lot of instrumentation and is superbly executed. Kudos all around.
Oh yes they do😂🔥🔥🔥
These people know exactly how to make music. I adore you, thank you for being there ❤
Hindley street country Club. Leslie Williams' low voice is beautiful.
@@Chygunachnik she doesn't sing with them anymore.
Absolutely fantastic from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Just when you thought L&F couldn’t get any better they’re like: “hold my beer”. They’re the best!!!
nuh uh. "Hold my borscht." 😁😁
@@russwhaley Or "Hold my vodka."
Yep.

Horn arrangement off the chain. Pizzicato strings ftw!
My Russian and Ukrainian brethren thanks for coming together in spite of the troubles you guys are facing! God bless y'all from America! Keep spreading the joy of our music ! You guys are next level true musicians! God bless!
For me - EW&F - the greatest band ever. This - their greatest tribute band ever. Totally special!
Electrifying! That male vocalist has a fantastic range!
These folks never disappoint. They never miss a single beat or note.
Tight. Clean. The Drive continues all the way to the end.
You can tell the ENTIRE group loves this arrangement.
First, the production of this track is so good. Then, my goodness -- the bass, the lead vocalist, the women singers, the horns, the strings. 11 out of 10.
Así eran los Earth Wind & Fire la mejor banda de la historia de la música. Una explosión de música todos los instrumentos que tocaban
Boogie on Leonid and the gang. God, how this World needs you! X

凄い再現度とグルーブ感がいい！身体が勝手にノッてくる笑 共感してくれる人いるかな？
Danil does Maurice White’s and Phillip Bailey’s parts excellently!
I agree ,absolutely ❤
EWF would be PROUD of you folks --THAT --was BRILLIANT !!!
Wow! Thank y'all for saving our music for generations to come! I bow to you all!
Always love watching Danil channel his inner Philip Bailey!
Once again......another EWF hit done incredibly by the BEST tribute band in the world! We love Leonid & Friends! I love seeing Leonid so happy!!!
Me too! Seeing such joy in the performance of beloved tunes from my early years is compelling in itself -- even without the *Brilliant* musicianship and production. But from these folks it's *always* brilliant!
Leonid is so encouraging & supportive toward his band members, he inspires the most out of them!
His voice! Horns, strings, vocals, drums, bass, I mean everything ❤❤❤❤

"Let's Groove" is pretty cool, too! Maybe L&F will cover this as well in the future.
They're BETTER than the originals! I go back to the early recordings just to check!
TRae mucha nostalgia
Exactly
Music today is nothing like this.. amazing 😊❤

Love this band! I grew up with Chicago and Earth a wind and Fire and these aren't covers. They are exactly like the originals. So glad to have found them.
Perfect post EWF era! Way to go!
Really excellent performance by everyone there. Love Igor and Leonid driving the rhythm. Danny did an exceptional job on the lead vocal. He covers EW&F songs so perfectly. Also have to give kudos to Ksenia, Irina and the newest Angelina. They absolutely killed those background vocals.
Been a while since we've seen a new L&F drop, and boy was this worth the wait! I've known every note of this tune for the past 45 years since its release on the I Am album in 1979, and it was one of EWF's most complex arrangements...and L&F nailed every part of it! The vocals, the horns, the strings, the keys, the percussion, everything!
