#ChakaKhan #CoverBand #TributeBand
@AllThingsMech 6 ай бұрын
Holy freaking crap! Jessica covered a Chaka Khan song...and NAILED IT. That lady is a freaking powerhouse, man...and the rest of the band absolutely killed it as usual. Just an incredible performance. Y'all better bring it down about 5 notches - I'm running out of compliments. 🤣🤣
@duayneveer8229 Ай бұрын
average white band original
@AllThingsMech 20 күн бұрын
You aren't wrong, but this arrangement is clearly Chaka Khan's, and honestly...as talented as AWB is, their version of this song vastly pales in comparison. That's why nobody ever associates them with the song, despite having written/recorded it first. My two pennies, anyway.

I was a little concerned at first if this band could do Chaka Khan justice, she has just a dynamic voice. You guys knocked it out of the park, outstanding.
@dmorga1 6 ай бұрын
DAMN. I'd never heard this one before. Vocals are fantastic. The groove is strong. The bass is funky. Rhythm section is tight. This song is outstanding. Best one yet, LLB. You can say it's a lounge classic or whatever, but this performance wakes it up and is really something. I'm gonna go watch it again.

@donnewton415 6 ай бұрын
Mark taking the bass for a walk around the "studio", Jessica just being alien-like in her ability to voice morph, Ryan rock-steady as always and Mac bringing the 80s to life with his Strat. I ask you, "What could be better than this?"
@kbarrett1844 6 ай бұрын
Describing "LLB" as a cover band just doesn't describe them well enough. The production values are right up there with the best out there. I am certain that there is enough talent in the LLB universe to pull off some original hits.
@nascargas 6 ай бұрын
Im kinda over the "Cover Band" moniker altogether. We dont call classical musicians "cover artists" when they are...."cough cough" covering Beethoven or Tchaikoski. They sinply are "musicians". And it is of no particular coincidence that many orchestras and symphanies play arrangements of tunes we grew up with. So where does that leave us with bands like the Lexington Lab Band? They are playing faithful arrangements of our favorite tunes. They as you mentioned, play at a higher level of talent than what we are used to. I am backing a concept to drop "cover artist" as a nomeclature. People who learn the composition of a tune and play it faithfully as their own or as written and recorded are simply "Musicians. Bands. Ensembles." What do you think?
@kenhargreaves1018 6 ай бұрын
You are correct Like I said in this post and earlier ones we are listening to the "LLB Sound" not a cover ...they have surpassed all notions of "imitation" that no other band that I know of can compare!! Note looking at Dan I thought we were going to listen to a little Chicago tonight with Micael MaDonald on the keys....LOL@@nascargas
@LexingtonLabBand 6 ай бұрын
We agree! Classical musicians have been “covering” songs for centuries!
@DavidD-qr2vn 6 ай бұрын
@@LexingtonLabBand I dislike the moniker "Cover Band". Even supergroups like Led Zep and Eagles "covered" other artists songs. It has been happening for millennia in music. Musicians like LLB and others such as F & F are simply giving the song justice and having fun doing it. I appreciate all that LLB does, you all enlighten the music with the video. There are many songs you folks have done that I find nuggets in that I hadn't noticed before because of your video production highlighting them. The music and video production are outstanding work. And a shout out to the videographers in the background who capture all of the essential footage who do not get enough recognition. Thank you!

To be honest, I was going to click away 30-45 seconds into the vid but her voice made me decide to stay for the whole song. All band members are so talented. Look forward to more covers.
