I am, without question, THE biggest EWF fan on the planet!!! And I am brutally critical of any band that attempts to compare to OR cover their material. But these guys have sincerely earned my humble respect. Just WOW!
Yes I love their story… the term music is universal really holds true right here. Their story is amazing as a former session keyboardist I listen to some great music and I’ve never heard a tribute band this good in my life…. A friend turned me onto them a while back. I can’t never stop listening to them….
All of the great bands from that great music era of the 70s are getting much older. We are so lucky to have Leonid and Friends to continue to carry the “torch” into the next generation. Hopefully, they all will be able to stay together. Yes, it does bring tears to your eyes!
The is now the definitive cover version of this hit song, for I believe if you close your eyes you would swear it was actually EWF and the amazing vocals of Philip Bailey taking us on a "fantasy" journey.
They are a great band, no doubt about it. But, honestly, he doesn’t really sound that much like Phillip Bailey to me. I actually think he sounds more like Eddie Kendricks or a mix between the two. If I was listening to the music with no video, I would think that at least SOME the same musicians were involved and that a great falsetto singer was involved but not actually Phillip Bailey! Bailey is really in a class by himself.. And he sings whistle register when he sings this song live. Which takes it up to an absolutely unbelievable freakishly good level. Go type in to hood and listen to EWF song called “Mighty Mighty” and listen to Phillip Baileys soaring falsetto/whistle register toward the end, he’s a stone cold FREAK OF NATURE! Phillip Bailey is in a class all by himself.. trust me on that.
If you liked this cover, you should check out Leonid & Friends cover classic Chicago cuts. Mind-blowing. I have yet to hear a cover band anywhere on the planet equal to this group and here's why: First, keep in mind that they are half a world away, both geographically and culturally. Yet they are able to interpret not merely chords, arrangements, vocals, phrasing, etc. They flawlessly interpret the essense of the selections, the mood of the times, the subtleties and meaning of the verses to an astonishing degree. Their artistry extends way beyond mere musical talent. They are unique because of their ability to interpret the cultural, social, and environmental influences that helped shape these great songs in the first place, half a world away.
Man, Daniil absolutely NAILED it! That's a hard line to sing at the end, but Daniil slayed it...the whole band is just incredible! I would LOVE to meet these guys, maybe someday...
Someone else left to He went back to Ukraine to help his family. They were effected by the war. ☹️ I think it was the guy who sang most of Chicago songs
@@mazie7952 Serge Tiagnyriadno was their lead singer. He lived in Ukrain. Many of his recordings were done from there. The war made it impossible for him to continue.
I LOVE seeing Harri Best's reaction. I feel the same way listening to Leonid and Friends. Leonid and Friends are just INCREDIBLE. LOVE this group. Insanely good,
I've never heard anything like what this incredible group of musicians puts out. I understand that they're some of the best pop musicians in Russia, but the phenomenal talent devoted to covers is amazing!
They may all be Russian now but they were not. Serge co founder is Ukrainian, and Sergey is Moldovan. They have both left and it's said for family etc. In truth I think the reasoning goes deeper and may just come from governments and they can not say that of course.
It's interesting you mentioned the bassist... who is Leonid, the founder/leader of this group, and also happens to be responsible for transcribing (recreating the musical parts) from the original arrangement, as well as being the sound mixer and mastering engineer! I don't believe I've ever heard a musician/recording engineer this capable of recreating a beloved recording so faithfully.
When he started the band, he first arranged many Chicago hits WITH NO ORIGINAL SCORES! He did it by EAR! He/they were so good that Chicago even put a link to them on their website and Chicago's drummer sat in with them during a live performance!
Even on the junk audio format that YT provides it sounds great. The "Does Anybody Know What Time it IS" audio capture is phenomenal, especially the horns.
Harri, dear- you are the ONLY top reactor listening to this amazing band. You’re musical taste is the best!!!!! I can’t Believe that Danil can do both Maurice AND Phillip!!! I hope they’ll come to the UK. I was so lucky to see them here in California. ❤😊
I've been watching these guys for over a year now. When I first heard them they totally blew my mind. Bringing so many artists together who are at the top of their game. Just, well wow !!!!!!!!!! It's like listening to honey, it makes my ears, heart and mind feel soooooo good.
God this band is so incredible bravo bravo. Thank you Maurice for bringing this music for all us to enjoy RIP BROTHER .....RIP. And yes I too get a lump in my throat when listening
They've also given us something we didn't know we needed: an up close view of how incredibly talented Chicago and EWF are. Something about seeing it played..
Leonid and Friends don't play -- around! If you're going to do a cover, take notes watching these guys and gals. They knocked it out of the park, Michael - thanks to you and Harri!
Hi Harri, Thank you for doing my request. I'm happy to have shared it with you. I will be seeing these guys for the 5th time on June 15th. I hope that you have the opportunity to see them one day. Realize that when you acknowledge the bassist, that is the great Leonid himself: the musical genius that makes this magic possible! - Brooklyn Mike
I got to 5' 26'' and suffered with the same emotional reaction as you HarriBest. I have tears of joy in my eyes. They are phenomenally excellent. I just discovered them this week. If you haven't already, see EW&F In The Stone by Leonid and Friends, Also Chaka's Ain't Nobody. You'll be shedding buckets of tears as to how good these guys really are
My favorite Earth, Wind and Fire song! They sound just like the original. If I was only listening to the audio and hadn't watched the video, I would have assumed it was EWF.
I'm a 66 year old man from London, I tear up every time I hear this band especialy when they do ewf covers, it takes me back to a time when the world was a more pleasant place to be....👍
Great reaction. Like so many other songs they've played to perfection, they sure nailed this one as well. These guys are so ultra talented it's ridiculous. The fact they do covers to actual "reaL' music from back in the day is so refreshing, Grew up listenong to EW&F, Chicago, etc. and having these iconic songs brought back to perfection in today's age is stunning. Simply unreal.
Harri, your heart was captured. These are some of the finest musicians in the world. The leader has given them the magic and joy of EWF’s very complex song.
I agree 100% I found this amazing group as along time Chicago Fan L&F preformed at a our local venue I was blown away by thier performance. As a bonus they added EWF and Steely Dan to thier set list. I felt like I was in Heaven! As a former musician Drummer/Percussionist I attend many many venues. The best by far was Chicago/EWF tour.L&F brought me back to that day! I close my eyes and feel the music that hits my soul. Keep the music alive my friend! I enjoyed your comments and sharing the emotion!
Kay, it was both of those songs that were my introduction to L&R. I have had the privilege to see them 3 times. I'm missing them this year as they are touring the East coast right now, but they are truly the best!
Love,love, love it. How many times have I listened and still get the chills from this AMAZING sound... Thank you... It is to good for words...Peace to the world.
I never heard of this band but holy cow!!! Everything you said about them is so true. They are incredible and I've been a huge EWF fan since I was 15, 46 years ago.
i saw them live in NYC last year and i will see them again this summer. at 71 ywears of age, a boomer/hippie who got to see all of this music played live on tour by the original artists, one of the best shows ever, bar none. always in the pocket, always a joy, always healing. the best part is they have totally embraced the vibe of the days when it was written. ☮❤🙏
Harry, that was amaizing performance by Leonids and friends ambeliveable, How can they sound só presize and recreat that peace of unique pearl of music by Earth Wind and Fire, thank you man to present on social mídia now and for the future genration to come, what real music sounds like.
to soak your soul in these sounds is way beyond beautiful, from their very first post to what will , one day, be their very last note, I will enjoy [ROCK ON
I am amazed at this Group. I sent a message to my Good Friend Myron McKinley of Earth Wind & Fire. I told him your still my all time favorite Group, But these Guys are a close second. The orchestra really adds to their performance. But over all fantastic.
Harri, so glad you chose to highlight this song and this group. I’ve never net a more phenomenally talented and yet humble and gracious group of people in my life. You NEED to see them. Every song they do will just blow your mind. They’re touring in the states right now!!
Holy cow!! When he started singing, my jaw dropped. I was afraid to even listen to this, a cover of this song seemed almost blasphemous. But I'm converted! I got to see EWF in '76 or '77. It was INCREDIBLE! I'm sorry you never got to see 'em live. I've loved 'em since high school, & am astounded this cover is so good! Great reaction, thank you!!
L&F brings such reverence to each and every song they cover. What an amazing way they bring new life to songs recorded over 40 years ago. Kudos to one and all.
"The Groove" yeah!!!! That's really the foundation of what makes this sound outstanding, but all the extra show of pure upbeat talent pulls it all together.
This cover just CRUSHES me to the core. It is over the top good, so many layers of lushness and individual expression from every player. Simply magnificent musicianship!
I came across this video by chance and sincerely WOUAHHH. I cried at the end so much that they sing with their guts with their joys. We feel the happiness that they unite them on this song. It's a hymn to happiness
Check the Lady Xenia from L&F doing a song titled Leave me Now, formerly done by the group Black Russian who actually signed with Motown. They were defectors back in the seventies. I guarantee you will like it. It was done in the Studio also.
Hi, I've been an Earth, Wind & Fire fan from the beginning. I'm 65 now so that gives you an idea I've seen them in concert 9 times. 7 times with the great Maurice White but I have to say this cover version of fantasy is amazing a tribute to Earth, Wind & Fire the vocalist just nailed it Philip Bailey should be proud great performance loved it thank you guys for the love of music that you bring
I first heard Leonid & Friends a few yrs ago when I was introduced to them by one of my brothers. THEY ARE PHENOMENAL. I dont know how to dance, but if I did, I'd dance to them, playing Fantasy, with my lady.
I couldn't wait for YOU to hear this! I've been following L&R for the past 3 years and have so enjoyed watching you get turned on to this amazing group of musicians. They are such great people as well. I told my husband I can't wait for "Harry" to do his reaction. After the Love the is Gone and In the Stone are both two more EWF covers they do as well! I have had the privilege to see them three times live. I am praying you get the opportunity.
Just watched your reaction and I had the same reaction as you did!!!!! I discovered this group about a month ago and OMGGGGGGGGGGG! i couldn't believe anyone could cover EW&F, Chicago and others so perfectly!! Earth, Wind and Fire is my favorite group of all time and I also love Chicago. Saw them in a joint concert and I was in musical heaven. Leonid and Friends are AMAZING!!
I am, without question, THE biggest EWF fan on the planet!!! And I am brutally critical of any band that attempts to compare to OR cover their material. But these guys have sincerely earned my humble respect. Just WOW!
I totally get it!!!
I totally AGREE! Best cover of anyone I’ve ever heard! 🎯🎊🎉🙂
Leonid has a great talent. He gets the best musicians and singers in Russia and Ukraine to perform in this fabulous group Leonid & Friends❤
They're from Russia and Ukraine??? So wonderful, and life affirming!
Yes I love their story… the term music is universal really holds true right here. Their story is amazing as a former session keyboardist I listen to some great music and I’ve never heard a tribute band this good in my life…. A friend turned me onto them a while back.

Music as it was and should be.
Absolutely beautiful band that makes you smile.
"The strings take you to heaven". Superb!
It makes me teary too because all the musicians are so excellent. Leonid is a musical genius. L&M captures all the soul of EWF.
Totalmente de acuerdo, tienen muuuuy buenos covers que nos capturan el alma.
I can't say enough good things about this band. The energy, the happiness, the tightness....best cover of EWF there is.
Wow! I didn't think anyone could cover this song but man, they nailed the vocals. Very impressive!!
Русские ребята, браво!
@@ВинтикиШпунтик-я6т В России есть величайшие музыканты, особенно Серджио Рахмонинов!!

His voice *does* have an uncanny resemblance, agreed. Intonation and rhythm are spot on.
Are you sure it's not EW&F? 😂
Amazing!

@@kellyhoward6941 True! 😆

If an alien came to our planet and asked, “Earthling, what is music?” Just play this!
My thought was similar, but instead for someone from 100 years ago....
The group needs their own show...
They already have their own show. Come see them on tour!
@@wandasmith3038 They have their videos and concert tours

They also do Steely Dan! Check out My Old School- it’s phenomenal!

What's amazing is their tempo is ALWAYS SPOT ON!
THEY DON'T DISAPPOINT. Leonid & Friends are excellent, outstanding, delightful.
Man, Daniil absolutely NAILED it! That's a hard line to sing at the end, but Daniil slayed it...the whole band is just incredible! I would LOVE to meet these guys, maybe someday...
This band is incredible. I do miss the guitarist who first started recording with them. That man is one of the best guitarist on the planet.
He left for personal reasons. I hope he’s alright. Yes he’s a phenomenal guitarist and singer!
Sergey Kashirin is indeed amazing.
