[@Transition333]

The most amazing thing about this group is that most of them cannot understand or speak English, which proves the tremendous power of music. When Leonid started this group he didn’t have any of the music sheets, didn’t understand English, and sometimes didn’t even have proper instruments (they made guitars from spare parts). He transcribed the music onto paper by isolating each sound, instrument, and voice, individually. Most people don’t realize what musical talent, perfect pitch, and knowledge is necessary to do this. It truly is an amazing accomplishment, especially on the part of Leonid, and he is so humble he simply plays among the musicians as if he is only a background bass guitarist. What a guy! We have seen them every time they’ve come to the Atlanta/Tennessee/Carolina area; this Friday will be the fourth time. We can’t wait to see them again; they’re a great, friendly group of people.

[@nobodyreally6345]

Yes Ksenia's English is very good. She's very sweet in person. She was a little embarrassed because her hand was sticky from the strawberry 🍓 (I think) shake she had just purchased (this was 2 years ago). Konstantin seems to understand pretty well. Along with a couple of others. Igor's English wasn't so good (I can speak about 3 Russian words). But through a translator, no problem. Igor's drumming is truly phenomenal.

[@maxwhite3829]

Having worked as a producer and recording artist at the highest levels (including Abbey Road with Alan Parsons of Project fame) - I have to say this band of brilliant people and their wonderful production values are world class! Truly superb - well done guys!

[@WriterandPhotographer]

Did you know that when they first started out, Leonid could not get the Chicago sheet music in Russia, so he wrote out all the parts by ear? If you listen to some of their early Chicago-covers, they are spot on. It is amazing...........and I am also saying that as a musician. (and someone who knows the lead singer in this song) Alan Parsons did an interview not long ago with the Professor of Rock KZbin channel.........always good to see some of the greats from that era still with us.

True musicianship is not just playing well. It is also playing well with other musicians and putting your ego last and the music first. This group has reached the pinnacle of ensemble playing. Plus, all the music they choose is very complicated. Each piece is filled with a roller coater ride of dynamics and though they are like a fireworks show the subtleties and delicate "brushwork" in their playing is dazzling. If their performances were paintings they would show a thousand different shades and colors and they would all go together for a perfect scene. There's nothing rote about their playing and nothing they play is simple yet they play as a totally integrated and well oiled machine but... a machine with soul.

We will be back to play there in Parker on November 11 and 12

I absolutely agree. I saw them in Jacksonville, FL, in 2020, and I was stunned. And one thing that makes them even better than their talent? Their friendship amongst each other. Truly Leonid & FRIENDS.

Such a great band I saw them live totally awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥😁😁😁

[@SirGolfalot-]

Ya'll knocked this one out of the park. It's going, it's going, it's gone! Home run!. Kensia sang like she grew up in Detroit MI. She has a Soul sista voice and did this one proud! Excellent

[@sergei43]

This has to be my favorite Leonid & Friends performance - every member bringing their A-game to this Chaka Khan classic. Ksenia is definitely the icing on the cake here - she sings it with so much soul! Absolutely phenomenal!!

When someone was born to sing.Bravo.

[@DorisKaltsas]

The guy on the base guitar is so awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉, I love that he interacts with everyone so perfectly, he is a real superstar 😊😊

[@romeoalpha2610]

No one brings out the original sound to life than this band. And Ksenia is sooo talented ❤

[@dahutful]

Ksenia is the total package - and great to see Konstantin on the guitar

[@os.bend.3706]

Konstantin Kovachev (guitar) recently played on the new album of the group Pushking Community kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnqTgn2HidGJfLM

Just listened to this song again. Last year's show, Ksenia steps to the microphone 🎤 and says "I've got a little surprise for you ' - I had NO idea what was coming next. Then they launched into this song and I was completely blown away by her performance. Their videos are awesome but let me tell you, it's even better in person when they do this song. It was like thunder ⚡⚡⚡. I couldn't believe that I was finally hearing this old Chaka Khan song and nearly 4 decades later I'm finally hearing the song as it was meant to be performed. 👍👍👍😁😁😁😃😃😃

[@zigman8550]

nobodyreally6345 I just saw them in concert last night 9/16/23 in Michigan. Ksenia stepped up to the microphone with yet, another surprise and sang a awesome song. I always wished they would cover a song from this group and my wish came true. I won't spoil it for you because they said the new video should be released at the end of this month. I'll give you a hint, the song is from a brother/sister duo that sold millions of records in the 1970's.

[@nobodyreally6345]

Awesome. Lord willing I'll get to see them once again later this September, 2023. Got to meet several of them a couple of years ago including Ksenia, Igor, Konstantin (guitar) and Roman.

[@nobodyreally6345]

​​@@zigman8550I made it to the Kansas City September 2023 show. Yes they did the song; awesome. After the show, I got pictures with Igor, Konstantin, Oleg and Leonid separately. First time I officially met Oleg and Leonid. Igor and Konstantin both remembered speaking with me 2 years ago. Show was 3 hours long. I said to Konstantin "God bless you" and Konstantin said "God bless you!" back to me. All the guys were super great. We were applauding in the hotel lobby. A lady started it so I joined in. We made a bit of a ruckus as they were heading off to the elevator. After Igor or Konstantin pics.

[@DokterMendez]

clear vocal, clean sound, best cover...👍👍👍👍
