As a musician, I can very comfortably say this isn't a cover band. This is a tribute band. In my experience, tribute bands usually try to sound like one original band as much as possible, and many spend years trying to do it. The difference with these folks is that they can do it with ANY band.

[goofe.washington]

I’m 71. We grew up describing really, really good bands as “tight”.

LLB is tight.

[countryboyoutdoors]

You can't nail it any better than that. As they say these days, TIGHT!

[constantinedelo]

AND THAT BOYS AND GIRLS IS HOW YOU DO IT !!! 😃😃😃
Love you guys.

My Mom said "they just sound like the Chicago". She loves you, guys.

[mlindle]

The lead guitarist was definitely channeling Terry Kath, spot on. The whole band has the Chicago sound nailed.

[smokey]

Kudos to Brad for that solo. Not many would even attempt to cover Kath, but when he stepped on the wah-wah, there was no doubting his ability. And of course the horns were on top of their game for this one. This is the old-school CTS that I remember from my high school years.

[johnpage]

I no longer wear socks. This band keeps knockin' them off.

[terised]

Not many bands bring tears to my eyes these days but you all just did. Another fantastic performance by the best cover band of all time. Seriously. More Chicago please!

[nc]

Chicago, Leonid and Friends, and now I find these guys! I love the end of Kath's solo when the brass kicks in, a totally WOW moment in music wonderment.

[resipsaloquitur]

It seems I'm a little late to the channel, but so far I'm completely entranced. This is like watching the best magic act in the world. "How in hell are they doing this??" And to tackle this Chicago piece? I think I've watched this close to 10 times, and Brad Wilson's courage to take on Kath's guitar work? And to NAIL IT!? I've been playing guitar for about 40 years, and I'm stunned. This is simply incredible folks. Incredible.

[jobbie]

One of the most technical and difficult Lead guitar songs I know of and executed fantastically!!! Kudos for all. One of the great and signature Chicago songs to perform. Keep them coming. You LLB guys (any combination thereof) area great vocalists and musicians! Top shelf!!!

[milanomaker]

Terry Kath was one of the most underrated/unappreciated guitarist over the last 50 years. Unbelievable talent. Your guitarist nailed the solo parts perfectly. Horn section nailed their parts also. Love your covers ever since I found your channel.

[ScubaOz]

Talk about a 70's BLAST BACK My Mother was a huge Chicago fan, we listen to 8 tracks on these songs all thru the 70's and 80's. My Mother would be very proud of you guys, that was spot on and brought back many memories, thanks!!!

[RobertMartin-ii]

I have been playing music for some 40 plus years myself, , , not many bands can duplicate this song, , , it is so perfect, from the vocals to that killer lead guitar work and that great horn section!!! Love what you are doing!!! Keep rocking!!!

[bigdog]

Wow! Great job on the vocals Mike and huge kudos to Brad for paying tribute to the late great Terry Kath in such a skillful way. The solo was spot on. Timing of this release is much appreciated as well. We all needed some uplifting music today! Can't wait for the next one.

[jimmieengland]

This is a great tribute band. First time I heard it and you all nailed it perfectly
The singer sounds alot like Peter

[blucy]

Everytime I hear one of LLB's songs, I want to be in Randy's pocket.

[tomroark]

I'll bet that guitar is still smoking. Have mercy!

[rexshepherd]

Your closest competition is that Russian Group. Leaniod and friends(, spelling) and of course the original Chicago. Love it!
