Why the heck these guys doesn't have the same fame of Justin Biever or Nicky Minaj?? They suck and they have millions, these guys are amazing and are playing in the subway... C'mon!

[@loganbright6620]

Nicki sucks but not Justin. He earned the fame.

[@vincentzhou1111]

[@fruitbowlproductions7327]

Thank God for you. Your music brings happiness to everyone!

[@pcm7315]

He's got the sweetest sounding trumpet.

[@davidscothern8513]

Given the dancing that happens when Leo's not playing, I'm beginning to wonder if his introduction to brass was when some schoolteacher gave him a bari sax just to keep him under control...

[@xMakotox777]

The drummer is so good!

[@IshmamKhan]

Thanks for all the support! A year and a half has passed since I recorded this, and sadly, I don't encounter them in my commute anymore. But, you can catch them in events worldwide! (www.luckychops.com/shows/).

[@ceebee8042]

They graduated from train tunnels to clubs and concert venues, I guess, or just grew up to regular jobs, unfortunately.

[@davenwatts8173]

Even seeing this a million times I couldn't just walk past without dancing

[@salvasquirtle2535]

I feel like Leo kinda purposefully steals the show

[@cchino_Sax]

SalvaSquirtle he has every right to he is awesome just like the rest

[@DRV110]

SalvaSquirtle yeah he's kinda of obnoxious

[@alexrevette5335]

And if he wasn't trying his hardest to be unique then we would slam him for being too basic and plain, he obviously has the passion and practices enough to be that good, if he wants to dance and have fun then let him, if the other guys don't want to get that into it then that's fine too, why do we always have to criticize everything to fit what we think it should be? Leo very clearly practices this stuff to be that fluid at it, there's nothing stopping them all from being that forward thinking

[@Taov]

not the best quality audio but the only video with the full show, so thanks for the vid

[@sarahsingzmusic]

I think that's one of my favorite solos Leo did on Coco!!!

[@jkaygoulet]

It is so hard to decide whether I like Lucky Chops or Too Many Zooz more. so similar, yet so very, VERY different in their styles. Leo is exquisite in both & the band's are filled with absolutely incredible & talented artists. I guess I won't make much progress on this debate today, but I did get my groove on. 🤓

[@misfitcrow3350]

There is no 'better'. That would require one to be 'worse'. Not happening when comparing the two. They just different. Enjoy it!

[@NilsHedstrom]

Props to the drummer holding it down solidly! Not trying to show off at all like many other drummers, just a solid pocket!

[@getpwnd89]

I realized my volume is at the lowest and my ears are bleeding... so i cranked up to the highest, it's totally worth it.

I’d be out of breath from all the jumping around, let alone playing a wind instrument at the same time.

[@Cybernoid200]

I can't imagine Leo P playing anything but awesome music.

[@moosemusicofficial]

That double lip bite at 6:14, she was feeling that move, Leo. LOL!

[@misfitcrow3350]

I doubt that they still play subway, especially since they have split up. Low-key: the greatest breakup since Danzig left the Misfits because both parties went on to create absolutely wonderful music separate from each other. But I would have loved to experience the Subway days. Omg! Would I!

[@AmyPettman]

Sorry but they haven't split up, not sure where you heard this? Leo left to concentrate on Too Many Zooz and Buyo left to concentrate on his nursing career, but Lucky Chops got 2 new members and have just been on tour - including with Leo and 2MZ

[@saturnative]

Joshua Gawel holds his trumpet like Miles Davies but plays it like Jaco played his bass. Too bad I never caught them when in NYC. And luckily that they come to Europe every now and then. (Nowdays without Leo).

[@saturnative]

I'll try and book Lucky Chops, Too many zooz and Moon Hooch all in one concert in my hometown. Oneday...

[@javierluciani3358]

It is common for the trumpeter to miss several notes in all songs 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@autumnleaves2766]

Leo P the baritone sax player eventually left this band and now plays in Too Many Zooz and 2SAX amongst other things. I really like both Lucky Chops and Too Many Zooz, but I think Lucky Chops are more tuneful whereas Too Many Zooz like to pump out incredibly fast tempo but more repetitive music. Both groups are excellent and I am glad to see that they are busy with USA and worldwide tours, they must be earning well by now.

[@barrysmith8920]

Ishman, I subscribed based on this excellent video! I love single camera (phone?) static shots as first person vantage point. Just like as if I was standing there. Thank you so much 🌟🌹

although his range is quite impressive, I couldn't help but notice that most of the trumpet notes sound really squeezed...
