    Katie absolutely BLISTERED those vocals!! Holy cow, Katie and Jessica are on fire on the high harmonies! Austin slayed the keyboard solo! And the rest of the band nailed their parts as well.
    Boston is not an easy band to cover, and once again, all y’all in the LLB make it look easy. Thanks again for helping to keep the greatest music alive!!

    I’m constantly blown away by the way LLB is accurate to the original song I remember listening to on the radio. The preparation the band members must make to take apart and learn their individual part, then come together as a band and put it all together so well, is nothing short of amazing.
    And Austin was absolutely perfect!

    Honestly, a couple of years ago when I discovered LLB I was blown away by the work on Boston's music. In the front of my mind was the nagging thought, "man, I wish they had done Smokin' to round out the set of Boston greats." Good things come to those who wait! As other commenters have said, you guys nailed it in every aspect of the song.
    What has always intrigued me is that you do multiple performances to get as many camera angles as possible. To maintain that edge, that feeling of nearly losing all control by the singers is amazing. Tremendous energy all the way around. Then the editing, the mixing and the final cut must be a labor of love. Dig it! Y'all are cookin'.
