Vandy was the first person who ever responded to one of my comments on any youtube video. Beyond the incredible talent, I think that’s a big reason for the success, viewers are made to feel like a part of what’s going on. Live music is so great because you are sitting there in some small way being part of the music, albeit just a cheering fan. LLB gives you that live music feeling no matter where you are viewing from. Plus, they just seem like a good bunch of people, devoid of ego. Something so refreshing these days.

[ericwiitala]

"1.5 million total views to 1.5 mill per month. I can't explain that." I can... You are all incredible musicians and the people crave the quality of work. People recognize talent and excellence. Y'all are fantastic!

[jgedd]

I love the Boston covers. I watch them over and over 😊 RIP Tom !

[nickloughrey]

They deserve all the good things incredible talented group of artists

[kellymiers]

the best cover band ever. i have been spreading LLB to everyone i know. love the music, the talent and the fact that you are sharing it with the world. Thank you all.

[danieljulian]

Here's to a crew of real human beings dedicated to their craft, everything from performing to recording to mixing to video editing. And then there's all the stuff I don't know enough about. It's a model of craftsmanship from the ground, up. Thanks to all of you for bringing so much joy to all your listeners/watchers/fans.

[raddad]

Absolute Love for the Guys and Gals of LLB from Palm Springs Ca.

[sawtooth]

What I like about this band is the fact that each member looks and could be your next door neighbor. They are so talented musicians that are true to their craft. The video editing showing each member's contribution to a song makes it for me.

[rlmusic]

RIP Tom Leszega. Thanks for the wonderful music.

[joemusicman]

You came out and did something nobody has done. No ego. We needed this kind of thing. Enough of the Rockstar crap. You guys as talented as it gets and no Rockstar treatment needed. Thank you. And by the way, who doesn't like a good cover? How about one epic cover after another? Yep. We love it. Thanks for all your hard work.

[nojuice]

that "waiting for a girl like you" song was just that you nailed it. you nailed it and the sound engineering was amazing.

[m.jeffklingenberg]

Hey y'all, my wife and I made the trip from Canada ... thanks for the great concert this past Sunday. Thanks for the shout out to the veterans. I had to smile when we were all cleaning up after ourselves out on the 'field of dreams' ... and what do I hear? RUSH's "Working Man" !!! Good work y'all ... thanks for walking us through Labour Day ... that's how we spell it up here.

[seijioyasu]

Another unique thing about their "cinematic style" is that they perform to each other rather than to an (imaginary) audience MTV style. I always got the feeling, especially early on that these are (super polished) jam sessions so I love that they face each other rather than line up as if on a stage. They are truly each other's fans. I LOVE that they are all having such a great time playing together. That's what really makes these performances special to me. (Fan request: Cheap Trick, Elvis Costello and the Attractions)

[Ras]

I don't play one single instrument, however I have been listening to music my whole life (69). When I first heard these guys and girls for the first time....I though who the hell are these guys ? The more you listen the more you realize their dedication to the music, and not just to the music but their dedication and respect to the original music. To say they are good is just simply an understatement ! Hard to believe it's been 10 years, however I think there is 10 more years of music hidden in this

[zekrk]

RIP Tom and thanks so much to all the Lab Band members for enriching my life with great music!

[blackhorsecavalry]

I'm one of those people that found LLB in 2020. I was astonished by the sound and faithfulness. The interpersonal reactions that Mike catches with the editing shows how much the group respects and enjoys each other. That is the part that everyone enjoys about music. Much love and respect to the greatest "cover band".

[FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

85 musicians is mindblowing. And amazing. The lady who interviews is so amazing. This is really an epic interview. I was glued to the screen.

[bradleynorton]

Every opera company is a cover band. Every symphony orchestra is a cover band. Every ballet company is a cover band. There is enough great material in the rock and pop musical sphere that merits performance with the attention to detail that a symphony orchestra, an opera company, or a ballet company brings to the classic works of their genres. Lexington Lab Band brings to the performance of rock and pop classics the attention to detail that the works deserve. Long may you run, LLB. Thanks for all the great performances.

[franklinbrooks]

Core demographic checking in! Actually, I’m 69, but I enjoyed a second career in a cover band. I’m an absolutely dedicated fan. Dale Adams is my hero. Y’all rock!

[CplSkiUSMC]

I became a fan when LLB videos were still being uploaded to Dale's channel, can't remember exactly when that was, but I've been a loyal fan ever since. It's more than just covering classics, it's that you do it so well and Vandy is right about that video correlation to the music, it brings the listener to the stage like the original music never could. It's also that connection between the band members and the way your relate to your fans that makes us feel a part of your musical family. I am so grateful for your efforts to bring your talents into our homes to enjoy and I hope that the love and appreciation of your fans brings you the warmth and fulfillment you so richly deserve. God Bless all of you.
