I suspect I'm not the only one that spots a Leonid & Friends video that I haven't seen before then spends the next two hours re-watching all their other videos for the Xth time.

[@Apollo9733us]

Ksenia speaks and sings in 7 languages, holds a degree in international finance, sings like and angle, does backup singing for Leonid and Friends and is only 22 years old, plus she looks like this?? People who have met her say she is so sweet and kind on top of it...Watch and listen to her sing...Leonid and friends are beyond awesome and the 2019 tour has begun!!!!

It’s the height of cheek to throw in “Jumpin jack flash” in the chorus at end…and I don’t think I could love it more! Words can’t express how much I appreciate this band, but I’m so glad i happened upon them!

[@joan-annebross9217]

I believe "Jumpin' Jack flash...." is jn the original.

[@itsahellofaname]

A Russian band that plays live American music and doesn't sound like they're rewriting the song...amazing. Why can't more bands play a cover (or their own music) and stay true to the original? These guys are awesome!

I've seen Chicago 5 times live and they haven't been as good as this group for years but as talented as they are...who wrote and created this amazing music? The musical geniuses of the band Chicago. Thanks guys!

[@j.dillner3301]

@@ronrosen5731 All groups get tired of their own material and stop performing it the way it was originally recorded. These guys are playing it faithful to what it was originally, so that is what makes them great.

[@simplebudd]

These guys are paying tribute to one of the greatest bands in the world ever and they're doing it faithfully with fresh energy, dynamic skills and with the "deep love for Chicago" We love Chicago and we love Leonid & Friends. Certain line-ups in Live performance that didn't impress does not change the timeless music of Chicago.

[@commonsensehill372]

Even still... their first live show in the states... knocked it out of the park. Wish I could have been there to see it. It's like reliving the glory days of Chicago. What a tribute band... and I'm sure the founders of Chicago think so too. Peter Cetera... if you are reading this... this is what Chicago was all about... and not Top 10 pop tunes and power ballads... no no... just real good soulful music played style and pizzazz. You know... like you used to do before the Chicago became sappy and over laden with love song after love song after... well you get it.

[@artjameswest4530]

Yep. We get it.

[@simplygu]

So what did you notice? We all want to know

[@boardmanfan]

😂

[@jlavamesa]

I've been watching their studio videos a lot - Very lovingly faithful covers of the OG Chicago music (which I've loved since I was a kid). Yeah, sometimes I watch to see Ksenia, but this is a seriously talented bunch - they clearly love the music, and their success is a product of the love, I think.

[@Rogerholberg]

I had never heard of them until, recently, one of their videos popped up on my KZbin feed. Was immediately blown away and have been hooked on the group ever since. Just terrific.

[@thayc3262]

That Leonid guy sure knows how to put together a top shelf band. Drummer should be up front though. He is allegedly the best drummer in all of Russia

The way the vocal changes at the start of the chorus is spine-tingling. I like how they don't necessarily change the enunciation of certain vocals in the attempt to sound more American, "theese way" rather than "this way".
