My wife died at the sweet young age of 30. Today she would be 61. Technology is amazing and all these years later this music still brings back so many wonderful memories. . . my wife and I were both teenagers when this song came out. Hang on to every moment in life. Soon they will be gone as we will be too. God bless everyone.

Chicago has been one of my #1 since I was 9, When my folks moved us to Florida from Chicago I had this AM radio that at some time at night I could Dial in WLS an d WCFL. Couldn't get enough Motown and Pop tunes. Funny how I remember that at 62 years old.. My dad was a machinist worked with Pete Cetera's dad also a Machinist. The founding Members Of Styx lived a block away from my house in Roseland. As young kids we would sit by the basement window at night and listen to them practice.. Never thought they would become anything as we had a lot of basement and garage bands in our neighborhood in 68 and 69. Roseland was a great town to grow up in during the 60's. Today?☢

Don't forget, It's always much easier to cover than it is to create because the music score is already there for you and all you have to do is put together a great group of musicians and copy it. I applaud Leonid and Friends for doing that so brilliantly!

Keep in mind this is more than "just another tribute band." The lineup features some of the best musicians to come out of Russia and the former Soviet Republics. Each one, all of them, are classically trained. This is no garage band featuring the kid down the street. This is the result of 30-years of artistical freedom and expression in a country that repressed it for decades. This is the result of that freedom. They just kill it. Every single song. Every single cover is absolutely spot on. What a band!

Bill BIrd, I am in my mid 60's and played keyboards and percussion thru high school. Marching band, jazz band etc... Chicago was my Idol and I had transcribed there music at an early age so a group of us could get together and play Chicago music. This is a dream come true. ONLY REAL musicians with REAL talent and a REAL knowledge of music could do this. I have told everyone I know about this group. I have been listening since the FIRST DAY it showed up on KZbin. I once saw Chicago play in 1975 in Springfield Illinois and it was HORRIFYING. First concert I had every been to and a terrible memory. They BUTCHERED there music. Ever since then I ONLY listened to there studio albums. You are SPOT ON. Just SPOT ON.

Takes good band rapport to pull this off. You can see they have it with the knowing smiles at each other, sideways glances. They know they are nailing it. So glad I found this channel.

@@kittykixbootie I thought about what I said and HOPE no one took it as a negative comment. Phil Collins concerts are ALWAYS done to perfection and others, but this is with a LOT of money and effort JUST for this reason. I am sure Chicago has done MANY or maybe even MOST concerts with perfection, but the one I heard was nothing short of HORRIFYING and at a younger age I was completely confused. The sound was terrible, they played most songs at high speed, and the singing was SO OFF KEY. It was probably just a bad gig for them?? Or maybe the provisions of the Illinois State fair was inadequate. But to say the least I only saw one more band, Boston in 1975 but IT was SO LOUD I had to leave. SOOOOO I stuck to studio Albums. There are SO many added harmonies or background sounds that can be achieved in the studio. I note that some bands live figured out ways around this. Toto ALWAYS sounds great even with the MANY different lineups they have had thru the years. Just thought of one more band. STIX from Chicago had JUST STARTED playing and they played in 1971?? in a little theatre in Canton Illinois. They were quite talented but I think it could have been interpreted as a earthquake it was SOOOOO LOUD!!! I think I had to leave that one also.

@@pedrojulio5889 you aren't wrong at all. Phil Collins was the first concert I went to and it was amazing. I have always been an avid concert goer and I can tell you off the top of my head who the pros are. Hall and Oates, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Sarah Maclachlan, Crosby, Stills and Nash. I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting. But there are some bands that just can't get it together live. I went and listened to Chicago singing this song live after this and boy was it awful. I'm thinking that bands like this are the impetus behind KZbin removing comments from the catalog music on the platform because comments were disabled. If I'm able to, I will go back and share the video I'm talking about. The music industry would very much rather the public stay blissfully ignorant though.

For instance, there are a tremendous amount of people that will pay big amounts of cold, hard cash to sit in an auditorium to hear songs that were created many hundreds of years ago, such as Bach and the like. Good music is good music, no matter the time, era, or if it's a cover or not -- period.

The best concert I ever saw in my life was Chicago with Terry Kath in 1977 at The Capital Center in Largo, MD/Suburban DC. That year I saw Muddy Waters, Beatlemania, The Stones, Springsteen. Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple, Foreigner, Peter Frampton. Bachmann-Turner Overdrive. Crosby, Stills & Nash, Dan Fogelberg, The Eagles, even The Osmonds were great live. There will never be live shows like that again.

We're so happy to help them make their work look and sound like no one does. Needless to say they're among the most welcomed people at our facility. And great kudos to Leonid for his relentless efforts to give that great music a second life.

Dear Russian friends .... WOW!!!!!!! I know the word "wow" is over-used a bit nowadays, but it truly applies here. The musicianship, attention to detail, and talent here is breath-taking and amazing! Dare I say this is better than the original? Almost beyond words FANTASTIC once again Leonid and Friends. You hit a grand slam home run once again. I had been requesting this song, so THANKS from USA for finally doing it. You are awesome!!!!!!! America loves you!!!!!!!

I like the idea that the violinists are having such a great time while they are playing. The strings really add some power to the performance. This must be quite a switch from playing Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, and Rachmaninoff. God's creation is so talented. I pray that the war will soon end and that both Ukrainians & Russians can return to peaceful endeavors.

They treat this cannon of music with the respect and discipline that a major orchestra would give to Beethoven. They are actually preparing a new path for this music to live on. It’s obvious that Leonid has transcribed every note. Urtext editions of his transcriptions need to be archived in the Library of Congress or some similar institution.

When L&F posted their last number on 3/17/20, "Happy Man" (and was I one!), someone commented that they should do "(I've Been) Searching So Long". I politely responded that they probably would not try to do that, given the string section component. Well, I guess I was WRONG!, Leonid just pulled a ten-piece string section out of his hat and came up with this masterpiece, it sent chills down my spine, as all L&F numbers do. What a great group, go see them when you can, we did in 2019, it's well worth it! :)

I hope they heard it...I was near the stage. They did not perform it then. Apparently, it was not in their repertoire at that time, but maybe they heard the request and it stuck in their minds somewhere. Maybe they'll read these posts and we will jolt them into doing "Just You n' Me" now. It is a great love song. I wonder if they have a saxophonist who can do the soprano sax solo?
