Just saw them perform this live last night. The production was amazing. The energy was captivating. It’s every bit as good as the original. One of the hardest working bands on the planet.
I LOVE Chicago, they are probably my most downloaded band, but I have never heard this song. It was perfect for his voice, and I loved it! Thank you! I love how you let the whole video play without stopping it, but sill subtly add little comments that don’t interrupt, just enhance. Awesome!
They played this live when we saw them, it's just as good in person as it is in the video. I'm hoping they play it during the concert you're attending. You'll love it!!
Супер, супер, супер! Леонид- это большая глыба в современном музыкальном искусстве. Большое спасибо ему за самый высокий уровень в исполнении. Всё , что делают ребята, огромная его заслуга. Я это знаю, потому что два тура в США у него работал мой сын. Хотите послушать настоящую музыку? Включите Леонида и друзей, любой трэк!❤❤❤❤
I had not heard this one so went and found the Chicago version right after hearing this for the first time. They so nailed this tribute! Vasily was awesome and the horn section was as always amazing. So too was the drum performance by Igor! How terrific it is to experience the joy that they bring through music!
This time big respect for Igors drumming , so tight , so precise , cool ! And not to forget Leonid's bass chops , so suitable in place where he puts them.
I'd never heard this one before, so I went and listened to the remastered version of it. Among the comments below, this was one that made me laugh out loud: "I saw Chicago in 1982 on the Chicago XVI tour and they opened with Mississippi Delta City Blues. Every teen aged girl, expecting to hear "Hard To Say I'm Sorry", immediately sat down and pouted for most of the concert. LOL, that was a great show." 🤣 After TK was gone, I listened to the group less and less, although in my old age, I began to appreciate the Cetera-era more and more.
Effectively capitalizing on a single talent is often the catalyst of the formula for success. Leonid , capitalizes on the exceptional talents of possibly a dozen highly skilled artist to both cohesively and continuously create masterpiece after masterpiece….i have never drank that drink before….The Coca Cola recipe for music….
. . yup, Masterpiece after Masterpiece . .! I hope you've checked out their original, "This Speck of Dust". It's another masterwork, and even more demanding.
@@rickstadel5285 ....Thank you ,Rick for the wonderful suggestion. Yes, I have viewed this brilliant performance many rimes. I have been following Leonid & Friends since 2017. The light of Leonid & Friends must be taken out from under the bushel. Am quite pleased that Stratele Studios is letting of this light out.
This was Terry’s opus. One of the first songs he wrote prior to Chicago forming. It had changed so much over the years until he finally put it on the last album he played on. Sort of ironic
This song was on Chicago 11 Terry Kath’s last album with the band. I believe they performed it in Japan a few years it came out on 11. Think it was on the recorded live in Japan album early 70’s
I loved the touch of the dark glasses on everyone. Watching them and experiencing the energy wave they blast outward is akin, liken to the overwhelming wave of power of an atom bomb detonation; like you see in those old films with it sweeping away all in its path - like having, akin to feeling six espressos with a vodka chaser all hit your brain enmasse without hide nor hair or tale of a trace of warning. Lol
Another great reaction, Jeff. But here's an off-topic question. Have you already or do you intend to give us the key with which you're selecting the studio backgrounds? I haven't a clue. BTW, I personally like the one you've used with this reaction.
Like you I didn't know this song. So I went and listened to the original Chicago version. Not so much Leonid version, but the original reminds me of Sly and the family stone falettinme be mice elf agin. cool song
Really old Song from the long ago Vault. The original was a Terry Kath masterpiece in my book. It had a great sound that really showcased his voice. They really hit it out of the park and Vasily 's voice was a great blend and they nailed this tribute. I have to Thank Leonid and Friends, they have me listen to the music of my youth and reliving so many old memories. Thank You Jeff for all of the great work and video's I have found so many great tribute groups listening to your channel!
Hey Jeff!! Are you going to be at the November 15, 2024 Leonid & Friends show at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center? I know you're from there. Would look forward to saying hello if we run in to each other!!! Great tune!!! Bob Love, Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley)
You're becoming a bonafide Lenhead, Jeff! 🎸

This was pure heat! They outdid themselves.
Love them!!!!

They NAILED it!!!
Such a hot performance. Their timing is always impeccable. 👍

Very cool! 🩷I had never heard this song before! Going to be seeing them tomorrow night! Can’t wait! 🩷🩷
They will *not* disappoint . .
JUST WOW … !!!! I’m going to see them in concert this coming weekend. I can’t wait right in front.

I'm going to see them tommorrow night in Ct!
Igor nails it on every song. Notice the big smile on Leonids face when he’s jamming

Vasily is great, but I miss my favorite Ukrainian. Sidenote: I think Vasily sounds almost exactly like Sir Tom Jones.
Oh wow!! Incredibly groovy tune! So good. This might be my favorite that L&F have done!
P.S and yes totally. Vasiliy nailed it!
I wanna marry that lead singer whoa 😮
Oh I know the original and I'll tell you now (spoiler alert), they nailed it again. Have a great weekend
That is so Chicago! That is so James Pankow!
Have to listen to it from Chicago X1. I believe them started playing it in earlier years changed it a little then released on XI
You said you liked them taking it out😂. Yeah baby!!
😂🤣😂
Vasily has got a set of lungs on him, wooo 🤘, he certainly does Terry Kath songs well

tyvm for posting.
Leonid really does nail the bass line on this. in the pocket from start to finish.
☮❤🙏
The gravel road vocal of this singer .... one of 8 or so I have noted .... his rough baritone register is bluesy for sure. GBjj
Boom, 2nd like!
How I’d love to marry that lead singer sigh

Ya man, I’ll be there. Come say “hi”!
@@StrateleStudios You got it Jeff!!!!!!!
I don’t think I have ever heard Chicago do this song
I didn't recognize this song, makes me feel like a fake Chicago fan. 😛
