    This is one of my favorite Chicago songs! More and more, Leonid and Friends demonstrate their amazing musicianship. They are genuine in their tribute to Chicago and elevate their songs to another level. As a musician (I’m a keyboardist and accordionist) I’m constantly impressed by every one of these musicians and vocalists! I’m a L&F fan for life. Thank you Jeff for your genuine and heartfelt analysis of L&F! You are awesome!

    L&F is by far one of the best, if not the best, tribute bands around. If you're able to see them in concert you would have a blast. The horns are just as tight live as they are in the video.

    Jeff: Thanks again for your analysis. It’s always spot on. Imho, it really doesn’t seem to matter what line-up Leonid assembles, every production is nothing short of professional. iThere are so many talented musicians and artists in Russia, it makes one’s head spin. These guys don’t just come to the studio, pick up a guitar and attempt a cover; no…they live it, respect it, rehearse it, outperform it.

    Saw Leonid and Friends for the third time in Fort Lauderdale last week. They are utter perfection in all they do. It is beyond amazing that the instrumental talent can be so tight and crisply accurate in tone and note clarity and the vocal talent is so amazing in their range and harmony abilities. Recent releases that they perform in person come through as amazing as they are on the videos. Jeff, your reviews of this band are so perceptive, especially in where you recognize that the joy that they perform with, along with the incredible fidelity of the videos brings to life the soul and spirit of the song even better than the original artist’s version and it definitely brings those of us over 60 years old back to an earlier time that we can re-live the emotions that the songs brought out of us.

    Always spot on, aren't they? Once again, your analysis is on the money, too. The horn section today is the same except Andre left the band to be replaced by Valery, who has grown into the spot nicely. Makes me a little sad to see Serge. He is SO good, but being from Ukraine.....

    I grew up with Chicago and have the sound of these songs embedded in my DNA, hearing this band since I found them was pretty much indistinguishable from the recorded versions, and you're right, they has NEVER been a bad production. Lovely to see Ksenia, an accomplished vocalist in her own right, being a team player in Leonid's band. Serge from Ukraine nailed the vocals! Thank you so much for giving more well deserved publicity to the amazing accomplishments of this incredible band! Loving your reviews! Let's not forget, when these songs were first transcribed by Leonid, they were not able to buy sheet music like we can in the West, so it was all done by ear! This is also such a fine example of music transcending borders and the fact that is is only revanchist politicians who ruin everything!

    I think you are having the same problem I am having Jeff - namely, running out of adjectives to use to praise their efforts. I don't have your mastery of music by which to judge their efforts from a professional musical standpoint - I will leave that to you and then shake my head and agree to agree with your assessment. Of course, my opinion always tends to go along with yours so perhaps I do have an ear for what constitutes the best of the best!

    As usual this was just brilliant from Leonid. But it's what we've come to expect! But can I draw your attention to a production equally impressive by "Jim MIDI Doctor" featuring a young lady called Tori Holub covering The Carpenter's " We've only just begun " It's eerily uncanny how Tori sounds like Karen. It'd be interesting to get your take on this talented 24 year old singer. Like Leonid Vorobyev, James Wilkas, the producer, is a pretty clever guy to produce such a masterpiece.

    Have they had a bad one? Absolutely not. Have they done some I don't like? Yes, but that is because I just don't like the song not their cover. I am so looking forward to your review of Color My World coming up. All I am going to say is that IMO that cover deviates more from the original then any of their others - and I LOVE it.
