Looking at the schedule, good for the band, but bad for me, I see they are getting the recognition they deserve doing larger, and more expensive venues, and they are performing farther away. But I hope to see them in Connecticut again this year. They already sold out the Ridgefield Playhouse. I'm hoping to see them at the Mohegan Sun Casino. That's closer to me anyway.
@@censorshipsucks9493Also we will play in Providence, RI at the Strand Theatre on June 7
@@LeonidVorobyevandfriendsI'll have to check that venue's website as it's not on your. That, or Mohegan, I"d love to catch another show. I'm too poor for the cruise. 😜
Oh yeah, just found it. If my brother in law wants to go I'm going, and am going to pay for the meet, and greet.
Love it,love it, loveit
See you in Orlando!
Can we now say that the greatest Chicago tribute band in the world is now officially also the greatest Earth, Wind, and Fire tribute band in the world?! I think YES!!! 🥳👏🎉
Hell yeah. They've been doing September for years.
Yes.
Wow!!!!!!!!!
Awesome!!!
Yes and yes
Today, MANY people do ‘covers.’ Leonid and Friends don’t do covers.
Leonid and Friends bring the ORIGINAL to LIFE.
Too much cannot be said of Leonid's ability to create note-for-note transcriptions of the original songs. The strings and brass are all playing off charts of his creation
You got that right.
K'n A right! And they look like they have so much fun doing them! Go see them in concert, it's well worth it! :)
Nicely said!
Perfectly said.
The most amazing incredible talented cover band ever !!! In my 58 yrs. On this earth . I've Ben watching & listening to @leonid&friends for a few yrs. Now & still can't get enough !!!!! Don't ever stop blessing us with more & more of your amazing videos . 🎶❤️🎵😊🎤💃🌟💫🎶♥️🎵❤️
素晴らしい…の一言です🎉。
完璧な再現に胸が熱くなりました💕。
ありがとうございました🙇♂️。
Look who’s got da funk… those Russians got da funk!!! Nobody has ever covered EWF any better than L&F. Kudos to Leonid for the engineering too. Wow!
Seriously. That’s a very dense mix with a lot of instrumentation and is superbly executed. Kudos all around.
Oh yes they do😂🔥🔥🔥
These people know exactly how to make music. I adore you, thank you for being there ❤
Hindley street country Club. Leslie Williams' low voice is beautiful.
@@user-ch8sf9qx5w she doesn't sing with them anymore.
I'm 73 and just want to get up and boogie when I hear this song! FANTASTIC!
I am 74 and I just did.😀
@@dougrose2452 I am 72 and I did as well 😂, Let's get on down and boogie..
I am also 73 and want to get up and dance!
Don’t let years on the calendar prevent you from moving to the rhythm of music. 😂
Me too😂 us old guys can still dance but not for long. 77 here. When we had good music.
"Boogie Wonderland" is probably my favorite EWF song. I grew up listening to this group. I am in awe. I am speechless. Tears are rolling down my cheeks. This band is phenomenal. If you close your eyes and listen to this, you will swear it's actually EWF.
For me too!!
"Let's Groove" is pretty cool, too! Maybe L&F will cover this as well in the future.
They're BETTER than the originals! I go back to the early recordings just to check!
Just when you thought L&F couldn’t get any better they’re like: “hold my beer”. They’re the best!!!
nuh uh. "Hold my borscht." 😁😁
@@russwhaley Or "Hold my vodka."
Yep.
I In '79 when this song was released, I was 14 years old, I listened to it until the vinyl record was actually destroyed by so many plays. today I am 59 years old and I listen to it with tears of joy in my eyes, brought back to life by this fabulous band. All my respects to these sensational artists!
I’m the same age, can remember skating to this back in the day. I also wore out several copies of the 45, great memories.
Good for you buddy!
@mtx_by_ovimoto tears in my eyes as well....when you hear something this perfect it's really special to feel. A superb job by all
It brings tears to a lot of our eyes it’s fantastic……what a performance
The audio engineers get a big time shout out for their contribution. If we can’t hear it then we won’t feel it! Your team delivered the full dynamic range, I felt it, I love you for it❤
That would be Leonid (dude playingf bass)
@@GregoryMcLean Ok, Great! But he probably had a little help.
@@peterd.9522 Of course, but he is the mastermind behind it. Kinda like Alan Parsons, he had a lot of help but he is the engineer of note of many albums.
Leonid & Friends is probably the best cover band in the world today! The arrangements are spot on! 🎺👍
Agree
Ты прав, чувак! 🎷🎼
I’m not sure there is any ‘probably’ about it! ❤️
Leonid & Friends are amazing! I only discovered their videos 2 weeks ago, but feel like I am reliving my youth in a 65 year old body. The energy, enthusiasm and respect shown to EWF, Chicago, Tower of Power and all the artists’ music that they cover brings back so many wonderful memories of my younger days, giving me even greater appreciation for living in a time of such creative and dynamic musical forces. I can look at that part of my life and truly say, “Those were the good ole days!” I am convinced that the love of great music and the passion with which original artists’ work is preserved by the great Leonid & Friends is a unifying and loving force in the world today. Thank you! Thank you!
I completely agree with everything you say here; and that makes me want to encourage you to go see L&F live somewhere. I'm 69, and I've seen the band live in concert three times in the last four years; and somehow I get younger every time.
Last time they came thru northeast Florida I was able to attend a meet & greet with the band after the show. Obviously they are all very talented; but also so warm and friendly and funny (even the few who seem to speak no English).
I so agree!
IT IS DANIL BURANOV THE LEAD SINGER, OF THIS MASTERPIECSE OF MUSIC I COMEND YOU SIR THE BEST LEAD SINGER I HAVE HERD FOR SOME ,TIME WHAT A RANGE YOU HAVE , SO CONTROLLED AND SPECIAL CONTINUE YOU HAVE MY RESPECT AND ADMIRATION
There are a lot of EW&F members still around. I bet they are proud of this band doing such an incredible job honoring their music.
Yes I agree. But there's only one EWF and Chicago band. Would I go see this band yes.
@@lamontbrown6382 Do so. You will not be disappointed. I know, I've been there five times! :)
素晴らしい！かっこいい！完璧！昔に戻らせてもらった。有り難う！このバンドは素晴らしい。プロ中のプロだ。尊敬するに値する。スタンディングオベーション
Once again......another EWF hit done incredibly by the BEST tribute band in the world! We love Leonid & Friends! I love seeing Leonid so happy!!!
Me too! Seeing such joy in the performance of beloved tunes from my early years is compelling in itself -- even without the *Brilliant* musicianship and production. But from these folks it's *always* brilliant!
Leonid is so encouraging & supportive toward his band members, he inspires the most out of them!
After 50+ years as a pro musician, I can say these productions by L&F set the highest bench marks in every category. If a producer can even come close to this level, he is in the golden zone.
It is off the wall spectacular. I am in the space as well.
👌👌👌
My wife, Cyndie, and I were at the Clearwater, Florida concert and when this song started, Cyndie had to get over to the aisle to dance. She danced for 2 songs until the usher asked her to take her seat. At the meet & greet, when we got with the band for the photo, Leonid told Cyndie, "I saw you dancing out there!" Fantastic time... ❤
It's a happy song!
Just loved this! Thanks
Really, she was told to sit down?!? Figures, it was FLORIDA! Boogie on!
@@MaureenC143 You mean Nazida?
Electrifying! That male vocalist has a fantastic range!
Politicians devide the world. Music brings the world back together. Leonid & Friends provide the solid bond to hold them united.
True words based on facts.
They are truly ambassadors.
Miss Sergey and Serge, but Koni, Michel and Danii are doing quite well and have really helped Leonid keep his retirement project alive.
Well said!..
Music and dance bring people together
Agree
Danil with the shades (and buttoned down polyester shirt!) and the three gals harmonizing is pure EW&F bliss! Love the groove and joy everyone in this band puts out!
If you weren’t watching you could take Danil to be Phillip Bailey.
I came from Peru on April 25, 2023, to see them on my birthday and it was spectacular. It was a great gift to see them perform.
It's rare to find a band that can perform so many tribute songs and do them better than the originals. Leonid and friends are all such professional and skilled artists and they perform with such amazing joy and compassion.
Perfection as usual Leonid & Friends!
I love it!
Great job Danil, singing the lead vocal parts of Maurice AND Philip!
Great job Ksenia, Irina and Angelina perfectly replicating The Emotions' gorgeous harmonies and blend!
And of course the band is locked, the rhythm section and horns are dazzling, really. The extra percussion is locked, the strings are vibrant. I can't wait to see you nail this live!
For me - EW&F - the greatest band ever. This - their greatest tribute band ever. Totally special!
Let’s not forget to mention that awesome drummer, Igor. Never misses a beat, fill or lick. The man is a machine!!
Bet Maurice is smiling from Heaven if he sees this… just simply incredible… 🤩
EWF would be PROUD of you folks --THAT --was BRILLIANT !!!
American here - I am absolutely amazed by this! Watching this song being replicated, I am stunned by HOW MUCH is going on in the music! Then I try to understand how my dear Leonid can actually HEAR everything going on in the recording and then transcribe it all . I am simply amazed. Thank you, sir!
That’s what I wondering. Do they have the original charts or is this done by ear.
@SH-jv5uf Leonid actually transcribes each part by ear! His is an amazing gift.
@@rusty9129 Wow
Danil does Maurice White’s and Phillip Bailey’s parts excellently!
That was the greatest recreation of the soulful sound of EWF, EVER! The guy on lead vocals was SPOT ON with Phil Bailey & Maurice White’s vocal sounds! And the ladies were awesome. What can be said about the musicians, except PHENOMENAL!! They are the best I’ve ever heard!! And their Chicago tributes are incredible as well!👍👍👍🎼🎶
Props to the lead singer for being able to competently cover both Maurice White's and Phillip Baley's parts at the same time!
This multi winds, multi strings, multi percussion arrangement resulted in a "multi" sensational and astonishing musical rendering. Absolutely beyond amazing. The combination of voice pitches of the girls coupled with Danil's lead voice are really a class by itself. So good guys!!
Don't forget a multi-generation of musicians in one group. That's awesome!😊
Leonid: let’s take the most complex, heavily orchestrated songs of all time and make them even better.
What a fun, talented group of friends having fun together. We get a front row seat!
Danil did a great job and love all the singers. Ksenia looks marvelous!
This version is even better than the original, if that's possible. Enhanced technology. This cover band is THE BEST!!!!!!!!
I dare to disagree, L&F are an excellent band, their EWF covers are brilliant, and the band members seem to have a lot of fun playing and singing, but for sure not better than the original.
Their sound is clean, tight and very well sound engineered, for me personally a little too clean and tight. This version of Boogie Wonderland is ever so slightly too fast tempo wise
I prefer the original EWF versions any day. But hats off for them bringing the EWF songs the way that they do. Would love to see them perform live.
@@Bunske1976that's a big dare... LOL! .. we will put your vote over...... here....in this very short column!
@@TheoSmith249 Rest assured, I'll be very happy in my very short column. Blame me for being critical, for me no one tops the real EWF. But so far, I've never seen anyone cover their songs better than L&F.
Can't go there. EW&F is the single greatest R&B group in history. The creativity they displayed will never be matched, in my opinion. However...L&F puts on the single best cover of EW&F, Chicago, Tower of Power, Steely Dan, and all the other bands they've covered over the past several years. Nobody does it better...but nobody will ever beat EW&F. I feel Leonid would agree.
@@Bunske1976 yes, all EWF recordings are very dynamic, but a bit much compressed and maximised. Was nice tec play in this era, remembering testing PA systems with EWF. But to be honest I prefer the LnF sound quality;)
Tight. Clean. The Drive continues all the way to the end.
You can tell the ENTIRE group loves this arrangement.
What a bunch of pros. And Igor is a total boss on the drums as always.
Brotha is bad! He does Maurice White and Philip Bailey vocals. I am blown away. Just fantastic job all around!
Instruments and vocals are defined by a cover of the 70's greatest disco dance ever to be produced in American soil! This foreign band has passed certification and authenticity of unique style and quality of how to demonstrate a MASTERPIECE done on USA!
Boogie on Leonid and the gang. God, how this World needs you! X
The joy of being a professional musician and getting the sound you want is an indescribable feeling . You can see the results in these guys smiling faces , I miss that feeling now I’m 70 years old . Ah good times and heart warming memories is all I enjoy now . Outstanding musicianship from all of you , thank you so much my friends 🫡👌🙌🏻
First concert I ever went to was EW&F and I have to say, Leonid & Friends captured the original feeling in "Boogie Wonderland".
Leonid & Friends aren't just the best cover band or tribute band, they the BEST band PERIOD. They are literally the best band in the world. I continue to be flabbergasted as how gifted the individuals in this band is. The musicians & singers in this group are truly talent on loan from God. I'm an old guy who remembers when Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire came out, have all their albums and have seen both in concert multiple times and I can sincerely say that Leonid and Friends sound EXACTLY like them.
I can’t stop listening to this version …. Absolutely PHENOMENAL!👏👏❤️ we saw L&F in Milwaukee last September. The performance was fantastic. We love hearing new releases. Thank you Leonid & Friends!!
I am the same...! This is phenomenal👏👏😃
I am increasingly impressed by this Banda Leonid & Friends, for those who lived with the sound of the 70s/80s, it makes the heart fill with joy, listening to beautiful music from the golden age of all singers and bands
I’m in awe of Igor one of the best most versatile drummer on earth!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely! Love him!! ❤
Yes he keeps everything rolling. Super drummer!
I am an E,WF fanatic for over 50 years and the music in this cover is top of the shelf!
These folks never disappoint. They never miss a single beat or note.
冒頭から鳥肌が！
なんてクオリティ高いんだろ
本家よりうまいと思うんだけど共感してくれる人いませんか⁈
I always loved this song since I first heard it in high school in 1979, but I never really heard all of the parts until today and its SO MUCH BETTER!!! Bravo, Leonid!!
Disco was so maligned and still is - but remains a high water mark in the history of music. Where R&B meets classical orchestration.The big band era of rock reached it zenith in some of these songs. The level of sophistication is unparalled. Love the timpani line! Who does that except the great classical composers! Well done Leonid and Friends. So fun watch!
Preach. Especially the part about being maligned. Yes, there was a lot of garbage bashed out under the guise of “disco” just to make some Green stuff. However, there were other iconic classics such as EWF, Donna Summer, & so many more. This track just soars because it’s musicians having fun again - just look at those smiles.
Is it even possible to replicate this dynamic fast-paced dance track by EWF? This is an incredible tribute by Leonid and the gang. The harmonies, instrumentation and groove of the original song is honored and given a breath of fresh air. So infectious and smooth. Joyous. ❤
I've noticed those women vocals are each from a different place of the world! SOLID 😅
By their names listed at the end, I'd say they're all Russian/Ukranian.
@@Straydogger.... maybe I couldn't find words to express what I meant....help me now....RACE or descended , because like you said names came in when they finished the song. Different cultures around the world?
Iriana it’s brilliant in her own right. Search her.
최고의 연주 와 남성보컬 고음처리 최고의 화음 정말 멋지네요 여지껏 그 어떤 버젼보다 뛰어납니다
Horn arrangement off the chain. Pizzicato strings ftw!
Always love watching Danil channel his inner Philip Bailey!
Think of something good…My God…what a talent!!! I love EWF, but you are not even a millimeter behind… What a show!!!
The expression "the whole is bigger than the sum of its parts" could not be more true to L&F. Just amazing.
Somewhere up in heaven, Maurice White is looking down with a huge smile on his face!! 😁
Another jaw-dropping performance by L & F. Why am I not surprised? Stratospheric musicianship, as usual. Someone above really said it. The don't do "covers." They revivify the originals, recreate them breathe new life into them. Thank you once again. The example you are setting for the world goes far beyond your superb musicianship. You remind us of the brother- and sisterhood we all share.
☝🏻this.
Looooove the new Boogie Wonderland! I feel like I am in wonderland just listening to it! Phenomenal musicianship and voices!!!Thank you L&F!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
I have lost words to describe or to appreciate of how these group of talented people performed cover songs. So good. Bravo!!!
スゲーの一言🎉🎉
地球上🌎で一番‼‼本家超えとるやん♬♬
They hit another home run! This band just blows my mind! 🤯😱
The timpani and French horns! No stone unturned 👏🏽🏆🎵🤙🏽
Well, an advantage of the nation with big musician community . Even small never-heard cities have some sort of music school .
@@MrSquareZB Yes, music education is valued there, kids don't just learn rap due to lack of funding....
Just when I thought that Leonid & Friends were THE Chicago tribute band, they go and blow me away with amazing and spot on homage to EW&F! L&F just keeps upping their game! Y'all are BRILLIANT!! Look forward to seeing you all live soon!
Ummm you know they have covered many EWF songs before this one????
This song by EWF, never gets tired, I’ve seen the real band in the 70’s and 80’s Leonid and Friends blow it out of the park! Superb musicianship and impeccable vocals.
WOW! It's hard to replicate EWF music and Leonid's talent along with his talented musicians are nothing less than perfect.
Most excellent! Especially with headphones or ear buds! Lots of EMOTIONS with these 3 pretty ladies. That drummer, those horns, those strings and all them keys! There's a lot going on here. I've already listened to this 10 times today. This is a great song to start off your day !!!
When the string section is killing it you know it's great!
fantastic cover of this song. Faultless performers, musicians and production. Perfection.
Leonid & Friends blows away all other tribute/cover bands!! What attention to detail with every song they perform! Igor is as solid as a freight train. This band is smoking hot as always.
WOW...just wow. The girls, the lead, the saxophones, the brass, but the STRINGS are working up a sweat. I danced to this song when it came out. Leonid, you have out done yourself and that is WONDERLAND WONDERFUL
I'm a Johnny-come-lately to Leonid and Friends, having only discovered the band late last year. I love these guys so very much! They reprise the music of my youth with virtuosity, passion, and verve. Should they ever tour anywhere within a thousand miles of my home, I'll move heaven and earth to see them live.
Best Boogie Wonderland cover I ever heard ----Bravo 👋👋👋
The joy that Leonid must experience as these young musicians execute perfectly the music he has masterfully transcribed, must be beyond thrilling. He catches nuances and adds emphasis to them by mixing each of them a little more prominently than was done in the original ewf recording. This guy is a gifted pro!!!
Oh wow, Igor holds the beat with laser precision ! And the girls! Great great great!
Click track...
freakin excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ksenya is incredibly beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are privileged to live when these people are playing around the world. This is THE GREATEST cover band of ALL time!!!! And being a professional trumpet player for 40 years, i know!!!!
It’s a shame you can’t have all of those musicians on the road with you. That was remarkable. Kudos to Leonid and his brilliant Friends.
Awesome rendition of an Earth Wind and Fire classic! And The Emotions would be impressed by the background vocals of the 3 young women.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
There are not enough superlatives to say how good this band Leonid and Friends are…
THE LADIES STOLE THE SPOTLIGHT ON THIS ONE!!! AMAZING IN ALL ASPECTS!!
👏👏👏OMG! What a masterpiece! L&F just broke the DISCO barrier with this driving classic! Every part magnificent right on through the full string section. And how about the perfect, crisp articulation in the horns? The vocal parts NAILED IT! And let’s not forget that incredible audio and video editing!! As a lifetime musician, I say BRAVO!!! 👏👏👏
My 'repeat button' has broken... This is pure joy! Thank you Maestro Leonid and the band!!
Same here! Honestly think I’ve listened to this so many times I’m singing it without it playing 😊
I just turned 55 today and felt a little depressed. This video has definitely boosted my spirits and I feel like a teen again !
Wow! What a great rendition - special mention for Danil's lead vocal - perfection!! Thanks for this 🙂
Really excellent performance by everyone there. Love Igor and Leonid driving the rhythm. Danny did an exceptional job on the lead vocal. He covers EW&F songs so perfectly. Also have to give kudos to Ksenia, Irina and the newest Angelina. They absolutely killed those background vocals.
Love this band! I grew up with Chicago and Earth a wind and Fire and these aren't covers. They are exactly like the originals. So glad to have found them.
What I love about Leonid & Friends (besides their amazing music) is the fact that they have artists of such various ages--the beautiful, young sistas--the classically trained violinists, the bitchin' older guys! Great job!
Perfect Trio, these girls sing with their hearts, it's visible to anyone who hears them sing, congratulations.
After watching the video 5 more times, how can you not love what Leonid and Friends do with music?? Amazing, and everything is so tight that you can't find a weak spot! An incredible amount of talent is what we are seeing.
I saw them live in Lynn, MA, a year ago. They bring as much joy in their live performance as you see here. Leonid's son was a great MC, with a great sense of humor. "Growing up as a boy in Siberia, it was always my dream to perform in Lynn Massachusetts."
The violinist plays with stomping is so cool.
素晴らしいの一言！！！ Danilさんの声はいくつもの高調波を含んでるんでしょう。
一人の声とは思えない。
Ksenyaさんの声といい、歌王子、歌姫を持った凄いグループだね😂😍💖
Just absolutely WOW! You belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Pure excitement with everything you do!!! ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
One of my favorite EW&F songs ever, but L&F totally nailed it. They are the best!
They are so amazing… I listen to them a couple times a day…simply amazing 👍❤️
