Are you freaking kidding me??? In any case I woud blow off anyone attempting to cover this song...until now. This was incredible. Tight everything: instrumentation, vocals and harmonies..and all done live! I have literally spent the last 2 hours watching this over and over. Totally blown away. The energy in that studio is through the roof. I cant get enough.

[photodube]

When you sound as good as the original, you're doing it right.

[TheEldoradoKid]

I'm 65 years old and lived through the EWF era of the 70s, disco danced to it, heard it all the first time around on the radio etc... And I am just totally blown away by the incredible level of talent brought together here! And to think that these folks are not American, but from Central Europe and Russia! Not only is it an amazing tribute to a great band and era, but more than that, just showcasing the professional level of Their musical ability here, speaks volumes of not only the selections but of the musicians themselves. Bravo Leonid and Friends! I'll be searching for more of their music!

1ヶ月前に初めてこのバンドの演奏を見て衝撃が走りました。

ボーカルのダニールさんが特に好きです。
日本にも来て欲しい！
生演奏が聞きたい🎷

[johnmiwa]

In an era of mostly crappy re-imaginings, it is inspiring to see so many talented people come together to honor a great song from the past.

[scottwardinsky]

I turn 68 years old tomorrow. I’ve been a musician most of my life. You guys blow me away. Speechless!

[glennjelich]

Each and every one of these musicians are at the top of their they come together it is pure magic. Beyond excellent

[tomelrick]

Im 58 years old and have been a professional musician most of my life
The lead singing and back up vocals are over the top EXCELENT..!!
I honestly see NO way that it can be ANY better...

[ClarenceHW]

This is too much, simply incredible. I'm 74, been a musician my whole life and I'm totally blown away by this band. The energy and commitment to this performance is simply over the top. Thanks so much!

[franciscoramirez]

My admiration for the majestic interpretation, it seems that we are back in the 80's. Excellent!🙏

[leefreed]

Holy mother of God, if I close my eyes, you can't tell me that this is not EWF. Jesus. This is absolutely amazing and dead on.

[markwilson]

Probably the greatest cover of any song ever, simply magnificent

[Zildjian_DW]

Im 56 years old. This IS the BEST song I've ever heard in my life. I've been privileged and blessed to see them live throughout my life. It was a good time to be alive! You can have that again as young people. You only have to put down your phone and pick up an instrument or microphone.

[mikem]

Live - One take - no multi-track recording - 100% accurate cover. Absolutley astonishing!

[phenbuz]

NOBODY in the world plays Earth, Wind and Fire like this. Not even close. My congrats and love for all those fantastic musicians one by one...And of course the magic sound engineer. Thank you so much Leonid Vorobyev🙏

[DaveLargo-mymp]

I just realized it took almost 50 years for a band to cover this song giving it the justice it deserves, MIND BLOWING!
It's a testament to how advance this piece of music actually is!

[eugeneleavy]

Perfection Thanks to each and every one - musicians and singers. Absolute perfection.

[rik]

EWF is my favorite musical group. I am totally blown away by the entire presentation.

Being totally honest I am a 63 year old Black Man that must say I am totally amazed by you White Folks killing this song.

EWF is nothing to toy with. The lead singer has sone serious Phillip Bailey


Thank You all. You Kept it FUNKY!

SEMPER FI
