Wow, that was amazingly great! All performers and performances were flawless. Interesting nod to Terry Kath's vocals, it took 3 singers working together to cover the same ground that TK did solo!
If Terry Kath were alive today, I have no doubt that he would love these guy's. Please tell me that this band has gotten a tip of the hat from the remaining members of Chicago as it is today. Nothing could be more Brilliant than the original members themselves. Shocking similarities !!! DAMN ...
As stony wrote, Danny Seraphine (Chicago's original drummer) has played with them in concert. Robert Lamm has joined them on stage and loves their stuff. Michelle Kath (Terry Kath's daughter) presented her late father's guitar to Sergey Kashirin (L&F's original guitarist) at Village Studios in LA during their first US tour in '19. Several later members of Chicago have also joined with them for various songs. In fact, the reason they became so well known is that a few weeks after Leonid did his first video, a Chicago deep cut called Brand New Love Affair, the Chicago folk thought it was so good that they put it on their own website, drawing attention to it and the band. That drew attention to it, causing Leonid to do more ... and the rest is history!
@@kevinriedler3990 I was picturing every person you mentioned here. That explains a lot! Fascinating. In the video "Live at Tanglewood" or something like that, I loved how Robert Lam would compliment Terry's guitar playing and how his keyboard playing doubled as a rhythm guitar, like in 25 or 6 to 4. Which was one of Terry Kath's best solo's ever! I stumbled on to "this" band somehow by scrolling down. I'm really glad that I did. Thanks so much for the information. Great Rock story! These guys are incredibly talented!!! And what a thrill it must have been to be handed that guitar by his daughter. Gives me chills thinking about it!
@David Cantwell. This is not Chicago Transit Authority, it is Leonid and Friends from Russia. Leonid, the main singer in this piece, transcribed everything from sound with no music score in the beginning. They’re very popular now with a great following. They’re great musicians, but can barely speak or understand English. They’re on USA tour now; go see them!
Lenoid, have you considered doing the entire song from this track? Make me smile is a small part of an overall arrangement of a piece called Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon. I would enjoy seeing you do entire movement.
Really good. A fine tribute but No one could sing that song like Terry Kath. Blessed to have had him for the time we did. When I’m down I listen to this or 25 or 6 to 4 to cheer me up. Works every time. RIP TK.
25 or 6 to 4, Tanglewood live. Incredible version. My favorite comment on that video is someone using the name Mike Patton. May be him, maybe not. "Damn, Terry, what did that guitar ever do to you?".
Amazing job on this song. In the early 70s I was the guitar player in a 8 piece horn band, thats one tough guitar part. Terry would be proud of that solo. Now if only someone had Terrys amazing one of a kind vocals.
Great, great version. Truly outstanding. Have you guys considered doing the entire 'Ballet for a Girl In Buchannon'? You guys have the chops to pull it off beautifully.
That's pretty damn amazing. Good work. One more reason to say, To Hell With authoritarians of all stripe! Down with hate! Enough war and tension. The People Of The World Want Peace and Harmony! Love your brothers and sisters and... sing a happy song!
Really enjoy the monochrome, but the filters on the sides makes me think I need to wear my glasses. Almost like a far out trip. But that was many many years ago.
The guitarist is just amazing at the 3-ish minute mark. Have been learning but my fingers cover too many strings at a time and am losing hope that I can learn! Can't turn the wrist enough to get the fingers pointing down vice at an angle... sigh... the joys of short fingers!
ho sempre amato la musica creata daiChicago e voi la eseguite fedelmente e anche meglio.io vorrei creare una cover band come la vostra ma mi servirebbero le partiture enon saprei dove e come procurarmele.la mia mail è:giuseppeciannella@hotmail.it,potreste aiutarmi?BRAVISSIMI

This version not only makes me smile but keeps me grinning ear to ear!!! Fantastic!!
Leonid leading and singing. The good old days. Sergueî waouh. Vassily what a voice.

There’s a video of Danny with their drummer showing his excitement and seal of approval 😎🙏👍♥️
@@stony2494 oh that's so cool! Be really cool to see the video.

Sergey is a BEAST on this track! Terry would be proud
This ain't Chicago ... This is "Chicago Transit Authority" at their very best ever.
David Cantwell Band never was the same after Terry Kath passed away. RIP
Mark, the WORLD was never the same after Terry Kath passed. Maybe the most overlooked guy of any band, ever.

Flawless and jaw-dropping ... absolutely fantastic performance from the entire band

Un-freakin-believable! The drummer; Guitar solo; horns; every single bit kicks @#$! I would definitely pay to see these guys live!
What a fantastic rendition of this Chicago hit song. They are great!!!!
Hey all of you are GREAT!!!!! ❤
Is there anything the lead guitarist cannot play? He is unreal!
Sergey is currently one of the best guitarists 🎸🎸🎸 in the world!
The BRILLIANCE of this great group - is off the charts!
The best: Real Music made by Real Musicians with Real Instruments. Need I say more !!
Great job guys. NOBODY can capture Kath’s guitar. Lodie

One of the guy's in the group said Terry's the white Ray Charles. He's right about that. Terry had great great voice.
Always above and beyond. Chicago lives through you all. From the US with love.
excellent cover of one of the greatest bands ever.
This is fantastic, guys!! Just what I needed this morning. I'm a life-long Chicago fan and It definitely made me smile!
Great, great version. Truly outstanding. Have you guys considered doing the entire 'Ballet for a Girl In Buchannon'? You guys have the chops to pull it off beautifully.
What a great group and fantastic recording.
These MUSICIANS ALL are masterful..!
🌹🎷🎺🎹🎸🥁TOTALLY AWESOME❤
These fellas are awesome. Wow. Really good rendition.
Cannot Get Any Better
Very well done cover gents. I was feeling the drumming and guitar work really strongly.
And I almost didn’t watch this . FANTASTIC cover , gentlemen !!!!
That's pretty damn amazing. Good work. One more reason to say, To Hell With authoritarians of all stripe! Down with hate! Enough war and tension. The People Of The World Want Peace and Harmony! Love your brothers and sisters and... sing a happy song!
Omfg I'm getting a goosebumps ❤
Really enjoy the monochrome, but the filters on the sides makes me think I need to wear my glasses.
Almost like a far out trip. But that was many many years ago.
LOVE ... LOVE ... just can't get enough!
Oh man, at the 2:26 mark Leonid is "feelin' it!" I laughed out loud...when the music is soaring and you're in the zone. Thanks for making us smile. :)
pcnotpc ....RIGHT ON! I can’t help but smile ALL the time watching these guys....AND Ksenia obviously
I just had my mind totally blown!!
Who are these guys?
@@IPBullets Leonid & Friends. Check out his channel : Leonid Vorobyev
Precision and so energetic. Great performance!
Makes me miss Terry Kath even more.
I've watched this many times. I've decided a person probably has to sell their soul to play guitar like that...
Bravissimi!!!
super groupe rien à dire que du bonheur good bueno bien ça déménage ! ! !
Impressive brothers
I freaking love this, outstanding job guys!
This is my favorite Chicago song.This sounds great
Every time I hear Igor play drums, its like listening to Danny Seraphine's double. Igor ROCKS!!!!!!!
I am blessed...BLESSED,to have found this. I hope you all are still jamming and performing like the badass dudes that you are. Right f'in on!
Damn that was good.
Love you guys! I appreciate what you do.
Sorry,but better then the original and I loved Chicago version.Awesome job!!!
Awesome musicians ❤
This is really awesome!!!
Wow! You guys are amazing!! Taking us back in time. Superb talent! Thank you, thank you!
I love love love love this !
So Amazing!
You guys are great!
LOVE IT!!!!!!
Da !....you make us all smile.
(o bozhe, this is better than the current Chicago)
this gives the original lineup a run for their money
Chicago is really now just a cover band of their own songs, sadly.
Ya ya better than the original ...but they didn't create these epic tunes and that's how a modern femme full of hypergamy would think.....just sayin!
"Current Chicago"???? Pankow 71, Walt 74, Loughnane 72, Lamm 74.....give 'em a break.
"Current Chicago"???? Pankow 71, Walt 74, Loughnane 72, Lamm 74.....give 'em a break.
AMAZING !

Nice!!!!!! Right on!!!!!!!!
Incredible!
Изысканный, как всегда, Леонид!
You Guys are really tight!
Wow, wow and wow!
Gee sounds like Chicago!🎸😀
Fantastic! So tight man. 👍
Hell yeah!!
These guys r awesome!'
Excellent !
They sound amazing!
Freakin’ SICK, baaaaybay!!
Thank you.
faantastical
C est pas mal! Ça me rappelle mon enfance!
Vasily nailed it!!!!! wow
WOOOWWWWW.......WOOOWWWWWWWWWW BOOOOMMMMMMM
Love it!!!!
Absolutely stunning work. I always thought Canada's Brass Transit was fabulous but these guys go one step further.
@@machone35 I just saw Brass Transit last week, and they were okay but Leonid & Friends just leave them in the dust!
well done
Must be a huge following back there for their hometown crew. Regards.
You guys are simply fantastic. Love it!!!! The drummer makes me want to quit playing drums...he makes it look to easy
Muito bom.
Written by , as Terry Kath would say, by Jimmy Trombone😜
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
👍👍👍
And Brass Transit is an excellent Canadian band!
*drums probably the hardest to play on this song* overall. Guitar solo was spot on and difficult
I would love to see the video of just the bassist and drummer
Well done! Should have kept the Ballet going to the end... Any other Chicago tracks?
Happy bass player
iLL bet you sound better than the original studio masters
Well done. The keyboardist kind of looks like Alex Trebek.
I wish I knew how to say "fuck" in Russian, because I want them to know that I think they are fucking incredible... thank you from Canada.
The guitarist is just amazing at the 3-ish minute mark. Have been learning but my fingers cover too many strings at a time and am losing hope that I can learn! Can't turn the wrist enough to get the fingers pointing down vice at an angle... sigh... the joys of short fingers!
These guys are really good, but you can’t replicate Kath’s voice.
Where's Terry?
Unfucking real
9 out of 10
If they had just did an instrumental their musicianship alone would have gotten them a 10!
The vocals were just.......
Not sure if I like the filter . It's like looking through a magnifying glass.
It's Already Been Done, therefore Please, try something Fresh,
Nice ...but no match to TK

Wrong snare beat on the half… otherwise great copy! Love to hear copy played just like the record! Rock on!
