- 👍 👍 🔧 Nice Job qoᒋ ǝɔᴉN Nice Job 👀❤🤍💙
Leonid, you & your group need to do the Blood, Sweat & Tears song from 1968 "You Make Me So Very Happy"!! You have done an excellent cover version of B,S & T song "Spinning Wheel"
We'll see you in Nampa Idaho in 2 weeks. Can't wait!!!
To put it in just a few words: They are the best. Everything they do, they just nailon it.🎉
Leonid and Friends is probably the most perfect example of musical artists Unity and evidence of dedication and exactness in every facet of every area of production. What an amazing testimony it is that they have to offer, if for nothing else,😅 the compliment that they pay to their efforts and interests in American classic light rock hits perfected and preserved for all posterity.
I’m 74 years old and having only discovered you about 4 weeks ago, now find myself in complete admiration of your talent, I’ve never known this level of perfection ! Can’t stop watching you !
Yes indeed my friend,just found that band not so long ago and they are top!
Holy crap is there anything you guys can't play & do incredibly?? I'm a 64 yr old bassist that doesn't get impressed by much anymore but I literally tear up when I hear you guys do this stuff. Much respect!!!
Tears here, too!!!
76 yr old bass player here agreeing
im 71 and love it
Amen, Brother! I'm a 64 year old vocalist, still got my pipes, but I ain't got pipes like some of these folks got! Never cease to amaze!
True
All I can say is thank you Leonid. Eight years a go you gave yourself a retirement gift not knowing that you were actually giving a gift to the world and now that gift has impacted millions of people all over the world. I look forward to seeing you Thursday night in Anderson Indiana!
I'm sure they were great!!!
Well said!
Talented Russian musicians and singers bringing love to the world with their music.
Love you for this.
Blood Sweat and Tears!
Such a bluesy sound.
More please!
Michael's in the backrow doing his work as backup vocalist, and then every so often steps forward and turns into a megastar! Like it's the most natural thing in the world.
The amazing thing is that English isn’t Michael’s first language yet he sings with such feeling
When I saw them in Clearwater Beach on their first tour, Leniod and Roman spoke a little English. Now they have gotten very good with as much time they have spent I'm the US since then.
Beautiful!
Yeah people don't realize just how difficult that is to pull off..when Mikhail sang that Tower Of Power cover & the Stevie Wonder cover you could not detect a hint of an accent..Leonid has really assembled some world class artists at the craft..incredible!!!
Yes, singing in a foreign language (phonetically is tough to begin with. But to add so much soul and inflection, and be able to pull it off flawlessly, is amazing.
@@michaelgould1587😊
THAT SONG HAS MORE THAN 50 YEARS....AND THEY PLAY IT ....AMAZING....!!!!
Every time you add a song to the library its like Christmas, opening up a nicely wrapped present and its the best gift ever!!!!!
Yep I felt the same way
AGREED!!!!
And this amazing artist has come into his own. He is truly above any possible criticism. I just love him more every day.
great analogy!
How can you not but love everything this group cranks out? Indeed a gift every time we get a new release. I just turned 75 on Saturday & these folks always make me feel like I'm 25 again. Thank you Leonid & Friends! Long may you rock.
I am 71 and my brother`s bought the records and I listened to them, and this was the album I remember most. And think this is better than the original.
@@marklester7276 Your brother had/has good taste! One of my all time fave albums!!! 😁
You guys rock!!! 87 and you make tear up. Makes me feel like 20 all over. ❤️ keep it coming baby!!!
3:34 3:35
@@RickeyWilkerson-mw8ys Al Kooper would have hired him on the spot!!!
Back vocals sound like a choir of angels
They ARE.
trite
They sure do!!!
Look like angels, too.
RIGHT????
I love that everyone is shown doing their part of the song. The vocalist was extraordinary
Made me want to pick up my boosey and hawkes trombone again wow 👌
The best active cover band on the planet today! You guys are awesome.
Calling L&F a "cover band" is not unlike saying The Chicago Symphony "has an adequate brass section"
@@tomgrosemusic I didn't mean it in way to offend. They could stop touring today & own Vegas if they wanted too.
@@barneshomestead1240
Don't worry about it.
Some of us music lovers like to distinguish between a cover band and a tribute band with the former performing other people's songs in their own way and the latter trying to stay as close in feel and tone to the original as a ... well ... tribute to the original performers. L&F are definitely a tribute band and as such one of the finest, if not THE finest example of such.
Most of us - me included - realise that the distinction is not widely used - or even known - in the general public and will accept a comment as yours for the generosity shown in it. In some cases a few of us - again me included - will (sometimes) try to explain there is a better term that can be used as i did above, albeit this time in a more extensive form than I would usually do (if at all).
The reply you've gotten probably baffled and confused you and made you wonder what you said was so wrong to warrant that level of sarcasm which in my opinion is: nothing. 🙂
It is nothing but an attempt of the writer to make himself feel better than you and display his wit; as far as I'm concerned he failed on both counts without even the courtesy of saying why he was offended. 🤦♂
They don't just cover a song, they always improve it. Amazing musicians and great people. Met many of them. So friendly and appreciate of their fans. Looking forward to seeing them again. Thank you so much for what you do.
Michael's voice is outstanding.
There's no room for improvement here. Perfect on all levels. (As usual.)
In my humble opinion, absolutely stellar performance by every member of the band. This makes me jump for joy that I am alive!
They nevel fail to impress. Best cover band out there.
An Al Kooper original from “Child Is Father to the Man” …. Reaching back to a real classic. Powerfully and soulfully done! Wow. Goosebumps.
Thanks for saving me the trouble of letting everyone know this isn't DCT.
Sax solo of Fred Lipsius done to perfection.
Incredible version of Al Kooper/BST original !! Smokin’ version of the Fred Lipsius solo.
Their best tune!
Absolute brilliance- such a great cover -
There is just NO musical ensemble in the world with the talent and verstility of these guys. They have far surpassed Chicago.
Absolutely correct!!!👍👍👍
They are amazing at covers but don’t get it wrong. There’s a big difference between copying something and creating it. The original Chicago will never be duplicated as a creative force.
Nope
Facts😊
These guys just nail every single cover they do. They are master in the class.
Amazing musicians!!!!!
Very true. Most rock bands avoid horns and strings. Not these guys. They embrace them. They play tight. Their arrangements are right there with the best where it is hard to tell the difference between them and the original artists.
Somewhere there is a gen Z that says 'Too many notes.'
Well I can say Leonid & friends did not miss any of them.
I used to play that on a 4 channel tape. I also have only 2 ears.
Language or not Michael seems to know well the words he is singing. Every musician in this group is so amazing and expert that I almost swoon hearing them daily. I guess I’m a push over for Lionel and all his friends.
They ARE The Master Class!!!🎶🎹🎷🎺🎸🎻🪘🎤
In 1969 I sat in front of B.S.&T. at the Atlanta Pop Festival when they played this song with Al Kooper on organ......it was at night when everyone was cooling off from the 104 degree daytime performances......it sounded so great then and this tribute to them is amazing as well......thanks for bringing back the memories of that night listening to this great song......as always Leonid......you've achieved perfection.
So lucky you got to hear Al and the boys!!!
Vocalist is a young man.. and i am impressed of his singing prowess, the band is always perfecting every cover.. congratulations, good job we always watch many times❤
Beautiful voice full of emotion ❤
What's his name?
@@theoriginalsafinette His name is Michael Puntov
It's very nice to hear and see Michael getting the spotlight shined on him - he has a wonderful voice. I look forward very much to seeing him featured .
😂❤❤❤❤
Fantastic sax solo Oleg !!!
He played it great. It was an exact duplication of what Fred Lipsius played on the BS&T recording.
Михаил Пунтов великолепен!👍 Какие точные проникновенные интонации. Высочайший уровень исполнения.
👏
Да-да, в саму точку.
I wore this song & album out as a 15 year old & I'm now nearly 70....This is w/o question the best cover I've every heard! I loved it! All the way around. The drummer kills it but the lead guy & sax? Oy
Yep, this was flawless! My Chicago & BS&T albums made up 90% of my record collection in the mid-70s (as befits an old trumpet player, I suppose).
As a 54 model myself, right there withya.
@@johncourtright1632 Me too (sax player). It is a shame that one or two songs from an album ever got on the radio.
@@SuperSuperDon Agreed. Back in the day, Side A all the way through, then Side B (then perhaps back to Side A). Lol
Oh, I agree. I first listened to Blood Sweat & Tears on their first and only album with Al Kooper in 1969. I have also listened to this song more than a thousand times and I didn’t think anyone could ever cover this the way these musicians and vocalists have. Simply awesome! Thank you for covering this wonderful song!
Leonid and Friends are beyond fabulous. At 74, my husband and I recently attended a live performance in Virginia Beach and they had everyone there in awe. Don't miss a chance to see them. In the meantime, TH-cam has lots of videos. ❤🎉😊 Best wishes to each and every band member and staff.
Fantastic instrumentalists. Beautiful voices. All of it is just excellent
What blows me away is how amazing human beings really are.
We are the only creatures on this planet who are capable of doing this.
How many other worlds in this galaxy have creatures with the ability to do this.
Where/how did we evolve to have this ability to not just play these songs, but to universally appreciate them.
We the people are the miracle of nature.
Beautifully stated❣️
Music from my childhood that a lot of people seem to have forgotten these days extremely well done. Thank you.
😢😢😢 This performance takes the original to the next level. Brings me to tears every time I watch it. Love that you chose this track, keep up your brilliant work guys 😍❤️❤️❤️
This song was the best surprise of the concert last night. What a voice and Oleg's sax solo was killer!!
Saw them in Nashua and they killed this song.. great surprise !
Михаилу Пунтову респект. видно, что пацан в теме. отлично передает эмоции вокалом. это прям и есть "soul"!
No doubts in my mind this man is a very passionate soul 😂❤❤❤
They get better every single time they apply themselves to a tune...it truly is astounding.
As good as the original or maybe better. GREAT !
This guy - the singer - is MEGA !!!!!!!
He’s got a fantastic voice smoother than butter❤
I love to see a musician with his mouth open with a smile. The music is going all through him. He's drowning in eighth, quarter, and whole notes. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am without words to describe how awesome this band replicates the best songs of modern history.
Holy smokes! Michael!
It's a bluesy deep track, but it definitely has a soulful vocal track of Michael to bring the sound of the 60s and 70s home. Love the spotlight of guitar and sax. And the haunting keyboards of Sergey. It feels like a late-night jazz club session.
As it was written to be.
Every member off this band plays their part with so much passion, it’s as if they were playing their last tune
Unbelievable !!!! I don't know how they do it!!! Masterpiece !!!!
I have a hard time believing this us live, it's so dang good !!!!
Perfection!
Puntov has soul.
Sometimes a cover is better than the original... This may be one of those times...
lol
They do that with every piece they do.
LOL!
I cannot disagree, this was wonderful.
The large advancement in technology in the recording process has a lot to do with this also. BS&T did the best they could with technology of the times. However, I take nothing away from this group, they are truly fantastic
Wow, what a marvelous performance!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This isn’t just an incredible cover; it’s a perfect reincarnation of the original! Great tribute to Al Kooper, 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and BS&T…would love to see Kooper’s reaction to this performance!
In one word. SUBLIME 🤩🥳. Time stopped until the song ended. Greetings from Cuba 🇨🇺♥️💯
Exactamente!!!
Wow! A killer version of a great song.
Leonid has 1 of the best ears on planet , his choice of vocalists is amazing, right up with his arrangements, I'm not sure how much is producers input but it's so precise I just surf away on L&F grooves 🖐️🤗👍🍯🎶😊
Agree that the backing volals are awsome too
Producer - Leonid
I haven't heard this in years....decades in fact. Fan-frakin-tastic!
Agreed! It really takes me back! I wasn't prepared for all these nostalgic feelings!
Какой класс!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Blood, Sweat & Tears" !!! "Съем" прямо "один в один"!!!!!
Случайно "залетел" на эту страницу, услышал, и с первых же нот так "нахлынуло"...
Господи! Как же давно это было....
Мне уже почти 75 лет.
В далеком 1975 году пел эту "вещь" на танцевальной площадке в далеком советском городке.
Тогда "фирму" можно было играть только "на танцах". На концертах - "ни-ни".)))
Одновременно играл на басу ("Fender Precision").
"Балдел" от этого блюза "до ужасу". И танцующие, бывало до 1000 человек на "сковородке", "тащились" от этого шедевра. "Медляк".... Всегда стояла такая тишина.... Танцевали и слушали... Потом аплодисменты, как на концерте...)))))
"Дудки" были, правда не всегда..."Клавиши"... А вот скрипичной группы, к сожалению, не было...
А тут все прямо как в оригинале, весь "комплект", и "инструментально", и в аранжировке, и в исполнении. Сказка!!! Молодцы!!! Круто!!!!!!!!! Услышал бы без видеоряда, сразу бы не сообразил что это "снято", как говорят сегодня - "кавер".
2023 год. Больше 50 лет прошло, а звучит так свежо! МУЗЫКА!!!!!
В джаз-роке была и остается своя неповторимая музыкальная прелесть. И хоть и "течений" в музыке много появилось с тех пор, но джаз-рок ("Кровь, пот и слезы", "Чикаго" и др.) - это классика музыкального "поля".
Хоть в последующем и "унесло меня течение" в другие стили, но джаз-рок, так и остался в моей домашней фонотеке....
Вокалист просто прелесть!!! Все "веточки" и "листочки" оригинала сохранил....
Так приятно что находятся люди, МУЗЫКАНТЫ!!!!, благодаря которым такие шедевры и продолжают жить "в живую", на реальных концертах, вдыхают в них новую жизнь.!!!!!
Однозначно этот вариант в мою домашнюю фонотеку.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow!! And Oleg plays alto sax with the same sound and feel as Fred on the original recording. Michael, unbeatable.
Fred Lipsius, Yes!
He just retired in the last few years from teaching at Berklee School of Music in Boston
I had the privilege to experience the incredible talent and positive energy of this BEYOND AMAZING group at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach, VA on 17 MAY 2024. I cannot get enough, I just went to their show and am going through all the videos on you tube watching over and over. My husband and I more than enjoyed the show, WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN!!! We were able to get a picture at the meet and greet after the show and tell the whole group how AMAZING they all are. It's impossible to have a favorite band member because each person brings their own special gift to the table, they are each so unique and special. We love you guys PLEASE COME BACK TO VIRGINA BEACH AS SOON AS YOU CAN !!!!
I saw them twice this week in Roanoke and Hopewell!
Yes their live performances are this fabulous ❤❤ can’t wait to see them again this October in Kansas City 🔥🔥🔥 their vocals etc are awesome 👏 👏👏👏
Yep! I saw them in Los Angeles about a year before covid. They were just incredible!
Damn. Another incredible rendition of a great song. Do you guys ever get tired of nailing it EVERY TIME? Love he string flourish at the end.
Amazing performance. God bless your team
We NEED MORE from BS&T,s 1st album. One of my all time favorite albums.
Al ..
Sorry, I can’t stop raving about this song in particular. I have to say Oleg on the sax is just killing it .
I've watching 100 times this excellent band wowwwwwwwwww 🎶🎷🎸🎺🎼
FANTASTIC 🎉🎉🎉🎉 what group of musicians and song choices
I always click like on a Leonid and Friends video before I ever watch it. They never fail.
Идеально! Как гармоничны все участники: голоса, инструменталка, а девочки на подпевке просто супер! И скрипачечки, и трубы и саксофон вообщем всё как надо - давненько такой прекрасной слаженности не встречал. Внушительно смотрицца тот бородач с гитарой! Молодцы и ребята и девчата!!! и босс-руководитель! Давай и дальше и больше радуй-те - наконец-то показано эстрадное «произведение искусства» которое , слава Богу, (уже не поп-са драная) 👍👌🤝
I am 67 years old and grew up with this music and believe me You guys are incredible making that old stuff. Guau
Oleg, Fred Lipsius is proud of you! And of you too Leonid!!
This is off the chart perfection.. Those vocals..! I honestly think this is BETTER than the original.
Unbelievable! I sent them a comment advocating that they do this song… a song I know intimately, and they absolutely NAILED it! The song has special significance to me; back in 1968, I was a 17 year old lead guitarist in a high school band. We won top prize in a 50 band competition by performing that song. I hope they consider a couple of other tracks from that same album, “Child is Father to the Man”, by the original BS&T (the only album with Al Kooper)
Leonid, your producing, mixing, mastering is superb!
Michael and Oleg are SUPERHEROES in this one!
And the CARO-BASS strings with those hairpin tremolos.
These studio videos are masterpieces!
Please put them all on a blu-ray DVD, autograph a bunch of copies, and sell them as a fund-raiser! Free money (almost) for you!
Just listened to BS&T version, and Michael SO surpasses it.
С БОЛЬШИМ НЕТЕРПЕНИЕМ ЖДУ ОТ ЭТИХ СУППЕР ПРОФЕСИОНАЛЬНЫХ МУЗЫКАНТОВ НОВЫХ ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЙ....И В ЭТОТ РАЗ ОНИ НЕ ПЕРЕСТАЮТ УДИВЛЯТЬ СВОИМ ЧУДОМ МУЗЫКИ....БРАВО.... ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНЫЕ МУЗЫКАНТЫ!!!
I don’t know what to say it’s so good, it’s on another level.❤
And let us not overlook Madman Oleg's incredible sax solo! It's all amazing!
One of the great BS&T songs! Bravo to Oleg's solo! Love the B-3 organ and the ladies background. A superb performance!
Michael's passion is unbelievable! Didn't know this song, now I am hooked. Listening to it over and over, and over...
More Michael ! What talent !
Wow. Hard to put it to words just how thankful I am that we have this band on this crazy planet to give us all a positive life boost when we need it. Off the charts amazing and thank you!
Бесподобно!
Высочайший уровень!
Спасибо!
Need to give a shout out to the production quality. The mix is great on all of their recordings. Top notch sound quality
Michael has such an amazing voice. He puts his heart ❤️ and soul into every song. Such a gift he has!! Great job, well done from one of your biggest fans! 🤗
That sax solo was amazing, and the lead singer is so full of soul...what an incredible cover!
Impeccable interpretation. But this singer's voice is something exceptional and visceral. I don't know your name and knowing your timbre, your vocal style and the immersion you made in this composition deserve a 10! Congratulations to all of you. I really like your videos and even more the interpretations. God bless them. Strong hug from an old drummer vocalist.
👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
His name is Michael Puntov. If you ever want to know who sings or plays what on any of their videos, they are all listed in the credits at the end of every video. Also, if you click on the ...more link in the box just under the video above, it expands to show all of the credits there.
@@clarkpickett7329 Thanks twice, once for the introduction and once for the tip on how to find the musicians' names.
Much success to all of you, together and united!
This is more a re-creation than an interpretation. Perfect,
Really miss those days. A lot. 😪 💖
World's best cover band.
Phenomenal, Leonid & Friends continue to share great music. Thanks everyone.
Просто обалдеть как классно! Тонкая работа, превосходный вокал, бэк-вокал, как всегда не только прекрасен 😘...весьма высокий высший "пилотаж " ...!!!
Чудесная работа - жду не дождусь нового, зарядили по полной!
Спасибо, дорогие! Привет со Львова!
Blood sweat and tears would LOVE this cover !!!!!!!!!!!!!😊😊
I'm 60 and this is the best band I've ever heard. Seen 3 concerts of them and you are deprived if you have not seen them.
It just keeps getting better and better!
Absolutely fantastic!!! Such skill, emotion, and talent in this group!!! Just stellar!! ❤
Just fantastic! Justice more than done to my favorite BS&T song.
Michael puntov is awesome 🎉
Wonderful, brilliant and with so much feel and soul. You are beautiful human beings, because you play the music with your heart.
Amazing power in this song. Best cover I have heard. Backing vocals sound so ethereal. Fantastic.
Another AWESOME Leonid & Friends Production! Thank you!
Очередная ПОТРЯСАЮЩАЯ постановка «Леонид и друзья»! Спасибо!
Oh my God! You’re playing my song! Al Cooper, tune, performed by BS&T, Donny Hathaway, and Amy Winehouse to name a few and now, Michael Puntov! Mike, amazing! The arrangements are off the charts!Thank you, Leonid!❤❤❤
Очередной шедевр от Леонида и Друзей! Любые слова восхищения тут излишни. С первого звука провалился в музыку... и вынырнул только с последним аккордом. Если есть идеальное звучание - вот оно, здесь! Спасибо, Леонид!
Согласен, они просто безупречны!
This group is as good as the original artist's. Incredible talent for a group who's native language isn't English.
Thank you, my dear friends! Amazing version! A worthy refresh of one of my favorite songs by my favorite band!!! 👏🙏
So amazing. I'm so excited that you guys are playing some Blood, Sweat, & Tears. One of the greatest bands of all time.
