Looking at the schedule, good for the band, but bad for me, I see they are getting the recognition they deserve doing larger, and more expensive venues, and they are performing farther away. But I hope to see them in Connecticut again this year. They already sold out the Ridgefield Playhouse. I'm hoping to see them at the Mohegan Sun Casino. That's closer to me anyway.

The energy, enthusiasm and respect shown to EWF, Chicago, Tower of Power and all the artists’ music that they cover brings back so many wonderful memories of my younger days, giving me even greater appreciation for living in a time of such creative and dynamic musical forces. I can look at that part of my life and truly say, “Those were the good ole days!” I am convinced that the love of great music and the passion with which original artists’ work is preserved by the great Leonid & Friends is a unifying and loving force in the world today. Thank you! Thank you!

I completely agree with everything you say here; and that makes me want to encourage you to go see L&F live somewhere. I'm 69, and I've seen the band live in concert three times in the last four years; and somehow I get younger every time. Last time they came thru northeast Florida I was able to attend a meet & greet with the band after the show. Obviously they are all very talented; but also so warm and friendly and funny (even the few who seem to speak no English).

Disco was so maligned and still is - but remains a high water mark in the history of music. Where R&B meets classical orchestration.The big band era of rock reached it zenith in some of these songs.

@AndyG13GLA 2 ай бұрын

Preach. Especially the part about being maligned. Yes, there was a lot of garbage bashed out under the guise of “disco” just to make some Green stuff. However, there were other iconic classics such as EWF, Donna Summer, & so many more. This track just soars because it’s musicians having fun again - just look at those smiles.

I dare to disagree, L&F are an excellent band, their EWF covers are brilliant, and the band members seem to have a lot of fun playing and singing, but for sure not better than the original. Their sound is clean, tight and very well sound engineered, for me personally a little too clean and tight. This version of Boogie Wonderland is ever so slightly too fast tempo wise I prefer the original EWF versions any day. But hats off for them bringing the EWF songs the way that they do.

Another jaw-dropping performance by L & F. Why am I not surprised? Stratospheric musicianship, as usual. Someone above really said it. The don't do "covers." They revivify the originals, recreate them breathe new life into them. Thank you once again. The example you are setting for the world goes far beyond your superb musicianship. You remind us of the brother- and sisterhood we all share.

It’s a shame you can’t have all of those musicians on the road with you. That was remarkable. Kudos to Leonid and his brilliant Friends.

This song by EWF, never gets tired, I’ve seen the real band in the 70’s and 80’s Leonid and Friends blow it out of the park! Superb musicianship and impeccable vocals.

Most excellent! Especially with headphones or ear buds! Lots of EMOTIONS with these 3 pretty ladies. That drummer, those horns, those strings and all them keys! There's a lot going on here. I've already listened to this 10 times today. This is a great song to start off your day !!!

Leonid & Friends aren't just the best cover band or tribute band, they the BEST band PERIOD. They are literally the best band in the world. I continue to be flabbergasted as how gifted the individuals in this band is. The musicians & singers in this group are truly talent on loan from God. I'm an old guy who remembers when Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire came out, have all their albums and have seen both in concert multiple times and I can sincerely say that Leonid and Friends sound EXACTLY like them.

WOW...just wow. The girls, the lead, the saxophones, the brass, but the STRINGS are working up a sweat. I danced to this song when it came out. Leonid, you have out done yourself and that is WONDERLAND WONDERFUL

@johnhaeberle3773 2 ай бұрын

The joy that Leonid must experience as these young musicians execute perfectly the music he has masterfully transcribed, must be beyond thrilling. He catches nuances and adds emphasis to them by mixing each of them a little more prominently than was done in the original ewf recording. This guy is a gifted pro!!!

👏👏👏OMG! What a masterpiece! L&F just broke the DISCO barrier with this driving classic! Every part magnificent right on through the full string section. And how about the perfect, crisp articulation in the horns? The vocal parts NAILED IT! And let’s not forget that incredible audio and video editing!! As a lifetime musician, I say BRAVO!!! 👏👏👏
