      @jakobole Před 3 lety +54

      Many of Chicago's old records sound really really bad, I say as a long time mix-enginneer. No low end, boxyness, horns sound like kazoos, unpleasant mids and so forth. Hearing THIS brought tears to my eyes. It's JUST the way it has sounded in my head for YEARS, and there it is, coming out of my speakers in the studio. And mind you : I'm in an acousticly treated room with GREAT speakers, and "Chicagovich I&II" sound ABSOLUTELY fab here. Top Notch! There are minor things I'd done a bit differently, but all in all : Lenoid & Friends NAILED IT!

    Imagine. Singing in a foreign language, that you do not speak. Their phrasing, inflection is spot on. And the Guitarist. Killer. They all are Ace musicians. They don't coveer Chicago, they become 'Chicagovich', as it's written on signs in Moscow. A Joy to hear soemthing from Russia besides Putin, and Ukraine. These guys ain't gettin' rich. Do it for the love of playing.

      The lead singer is from Ukraine ......he's the only one not from Russia. I agree though ....... I grew up with Chicago and I can't go more than a few days without watching/listening to this ensemble. To realize they don't speak English and the leader/bassist had to dissect each instrument note by note to compose is beyond genius to me.

    I''m a 62 year old, who's been a Chicago fan from their beginning in 1970. My older Step-Sister gave me their first album, when they were still "Chicago Transit Authority", and I've loved them since. You guys... you guys...I'm speechless. If I wasn't watching the video, I'd swear I was listening to Chicago themselves. As a Tribute/ Cover band, that's as good as it gets. All I can say, is if you were to Come to my area, (after Covid-19 passes of course...), I'd gladly pay to see you perform live. Thank you for making a dreary morning bright.

I served in the USAF in Berlin during the cold war. But these people are genuine, loving, family oriented and loyal. I found this band two weeks ago and needless to say, growing up in the 70's, EWF & Chicago were at the top of the charts. THANKS for this beautiful music and my Elena :)

    If I were an actual member of Chicago I’m not sure how I’d react to hearing this group. On the one hand I’d be incredibly impressed and while I wouldn’t necessarily feel threatened by them my ego might have a tough time praising them for how good they are. I drop dead every time I hear them.

      Well, Danny Seraphine actually caught on to Leonid and Friends, and let his ex-band know about them. They proceeded to link a few of these videos to their official website which is really how LAF started making inroads to America then getting the demand for a USA tour. In fact, Danny actually sat in for Igor on drums for a couple tracks including Anybody Know What Time It Is on one of the shows. Not sure what the rest of the band that tours as Chicago thinks of these cats, but Danny himself is of 100% approval. He sat in ice cold and nailed it. You could tell the rest of the band was beside themselves, smiling at him like a 12 year old school girl while THE Danny Seraphine is playing drums in THEIR cover band. Don't forget, Leonid is focused on the first 5 albums, the albums that made Chicago the icons they are. For them, Danny might as well be Paul McCartney.
      On a side note, if there was ever a reason for Chicago to let bygones be bygones and bring Danny back in to the band HE started, THAT'S it.

    I saw them in Los Angeles on 1-12. Even got a photo with Ksenya - I was not leaving without that. Their US tour is over but I'm sure they'll be back. These guys are better than you can imagine and I've seen Chicago twice. They travel with just three guys on brass - the younger guys - and it's as tight as Chicago or what's in these videos. I told Leonid to add a couple of Bill Champlin songs - I don't think he understood me, but God love him because he really nails it on these songs. Vocals, guitars, keyboards, drums everything. Even added a nice little brass arrangement to Color My World. You have to see these guys. Chicago charges $100 for meet and greet photos but these guys did it for free. Excellent.
