Leonid & Friends, it's a pretty special band when members of the Bands they cover take the time out of their own busy tour schedule to see them perform. John Parris the drummer of Earth Wind & Fire and his wife attended Leonid & Friends 45th show of their current tour Saturday night in Oxnard California. Since Leonid & Friends began touring the US in 2019 other band members including Chicago's founding members Robert Lamm and Danny Seraphine and a few others have attended their shows and even set in with them on a few numbers. I have not heard of any other tribute/cover bands that have been so well received by the bands they cover, maybe because they're just that good!
Love this! The production quality of their performance (and videos) is just off the charts, and they're just as good live as in the studio, from what I've heard!😄👍👍
They are even better live. Saw them in Charleston SC and now looking to see if they will be performing again anywhere nearby in the future. Out of this world! Better than Chicago! I mean it!
Quisiera darles mi opinión al respecto esto es un escándalo enorme, porque los que tienen oídos para la música, esto les quedó espectacular, tanto al joven como la jovencita, por dios que bien cantan, sin quitarles el mérito a toda la orquesta, felicidades a todos ellos, un abrazo desde Cuba
My favorite Leonid and Friends song is usually whatever the last one I heard might be. I saw them in concert back in May and they are as amazing in person as on the videos. Of course they don't travel with an orchestra but it's so good you don't realize they're not there. I've bought all of their CD's and can't wait to see them again, hopefully next year. Great Reaction guys. I got to see Foxes and Fossils last December, and then Leonid and Friends in May and now I'm going to see my other favorite Cover/Tribute band in September and that would be Lexington Lab Band. Any reaction you do to any of these three bands will be much appreciated.
Check out the Leonid and Friends cover of Ain't Nobody, originally sung by Chaka Khan and Rufus. It features the lovely female singer of the band, Ksenia Buzina, simply amazing!
Leonid & Friends is a first-rate cover band. Absolutely note-perfect to the originals. You also may want to check out their Australian counterparts, Hindley Street Country Club.
All of their covers are FIRE! Check out "Speck Of Dust" Not a cover as far as I can tell- but it is original, different and you get to hear the band firing on all fours with a full orchestra
Since you fine folks have discovered L&F, check out their covers of East River (cover of The Becker Brothers) and My Old School (cover of Steely Dan). They've got tons of other great videos and will continue to blow you away. They have lost a few band members through the years and have added new ones. But the sound stays the same. Amazing group. I wish this stupid war between Russia and Ukraine would end. Serge (the singer that sounds like Peter Cetera) lives in Kiev. The rest of the band is from Moscow. Enjoy your reactions. Good stuff.
The thing to also remember is they don't speak English this well some of them better than others but sound amazing it is a show to see if one gets the chance to see it usually is a 3 hour show beginnings is one of my fav but to be honest they don't have a bad song at all I am a man is also fabulous
OK. If you two want to be taken seriously you need to learn the names of the band members and not just refer to them as "this or that guy." Believe me, it is not that hard. I will check back in a month or so but for now you have a huge thumbs down.
Leonid and friends is the BEST cover band on youtube--PERIOD !!!!
WOW!! WOW!!! WOW!!!!
Steely Dan's My old school is my favorite Leonid & Friends cover, they nail it.

They show total respect for the music they are giving us. Spot on....
You have barely scratched the surface of they’re songs
Leonid might be the greatest audio producer/masterer ever! That mix is absolutely killer!
Man, I love that song!!
How can you not like this band ? I've been listening to them for years. They copy everything I grew up with..
Leonid's cover of EW&F's "September" is just fire...that along with Chicago's "You're The Inspiration" are my 2 favorite covers of theirs.
They tour the USA all the time
Hey I’m over 70 and still playing

This wonderful band now on their 3rd (or 4th) mega U.S. tour.
Super duper in concert too!🔥🔥🔥
Very cool!

Yep she’s fantastic 😂
Leonid and Friends Chicago cover "Mongonucleosis" a wild ride.
One of L&F's best overs...........
Bands normally do not record as a whole. I would bet that every instrument and vocal was recorded separately. What we're watching is all for show.
They are this good 👍 and even better live❤I’ve seen them live n unforgettable 👍👍👍
Written by David Foster.
and Bill Champlin who would later join Chicago a few years later!
and jay graydon @@apooyosucks
L&F aims to play live music that sounds like the original studio recordings. I think they have succeeded.
Great job!!

Just WOW! Best cover band EVER!
Фантастика !!!❤😊

Is there anything Leonid & Friends can’t play to a level of excellence? I think not!
The singer with the beard is actually in a separate studio in Kiev and is not with the rest of the band.
Nice
