In a world of so many pretenders not up to their task, Leonid and his friends are the real deal. They seem to embody the spirit of doing something right if you are going to do it.

Leonid and friends do exactly what music is supposed to do for people. They bring a sense of joy and peace to our hearts. The fact that we get to watch them play is even better. I hope that they stay together for a long time. They are starting to feel like family to many Americans. I love each one and I watch each one play their instruments and sing and I feel like I'm right in the room with them. Maybe a miracle will happen and one day I'll get to see them in person. Sincerely, Carly

What’s way more impressive than capturing the sound is the fact they captured their emotion and energy! 🙏😎♥️

It all starts with Igor - his drumming is spot on perfection - and sets the tone for the others to lay down their tracks on top of it.

That night at the Orleans was our first time seeing Leonid & Friends at night. Fantastic show and a fantastic meet & greet. It was a thrill meeting the band.
We were able to visit with everyone, take pictures. On stage the band was incredible, off stage they were all so warm and personable. We also met so many great Leonid & Friends fans, folks just like us plus we met Chris Nibeck and Kristina that night as well. Like I said what a night!! Thanks for sharing Chris.

This group of professionals are awesome!

This is the most complex song by Chicago. A symphony like the classical opuses by beethoven, mozart, vivaldi, etc.
To a hotshot musician this is hard to learn by just ear. But they have Leonid who patiently and skillfully transcribed every note for every player by listening to a long playing record!
Unbelievable but we can hear for ourselves the end product.
Hats off to each and every member of this friendly group.

I believe that was the first album that I ever purchased, in 1972, a few years after it first came out. I played it on a record player similar to that. I still have the album, and I still have an old-fashioned stereo-system and turntable upon which to play it, among the other 10 Chicago albums while Kath was in there. I'm glad I still have this stuff, and the means upon which to play it.

I bought that album in 1969 when I was 8 years old. A $5.00 pricetag for music that is absolutely priceless. You made me smile with this one. Thanks.

I had a record player that looked like that when I was a kid. It wasn't a Victrola but, it was even the same color. Great memories!

Saw CTA 3 times in '69-'70 and they opened all 3 with "The Introduction".

Let's start at the beginning, a very good place to start...

Vinyl! Sweet! So that’s your secret?

[gianluigidesantis]

Ottime esecuzioni relative alle cover dei : Chicago, E.w.fire ma in particolare dei deep purple di cui sono in attesa di altre della band inglese.

[GK-rwop]

What ? I thought those guys were Russian ?!!

You all are talented performers, why waist your time doing note for note covers? Write something for yourselfs.
