RIP to guitarist Tom Leszega who passed away in April, 2023. He's the guitarist in the middle, jeans and all black shirt. May God Bless Tom and his family!
Completely agree. Randy nails it! I would love to see LLB cover Boston's "Can'tcha Say (You Believe in Me)" because it's an awesome song with a fantastic bass part, and I would love to hear/see Randy play it.
I saw Brad Delp’s last performance, with his Beatles tribute band, before his death. He was absolutely amazing and one of a kind. Your vocals on this song would have made him very proud. It is indeed an honor to be compared to him and you compare very well.
As a musician of many decades and doing it for a living for most that time, I gotta say. These guys are absolutely incredible musicians. And everytime I watch a video I'm always so impressed how they nail the tones. Nailing tones of such iconic songs is NOT easy at all people. Not at all. And every song they do is a huge risk. If you don't do it very well, you will get slayed, ridiculed and bounced right off the stage. They don't do it very well. They do it 99% perfectly. Every song. And whoever does the mixing is obviously pro level. Must be someone in the industry that has some real experience in mixing, engineering and mastering. Also, the video quality and editing is high level pro too. Love seeing what they'll do next.
Anthony - I agree w/ you. As a mediocre guitarist, a good singer with an avid ear for quality tasty material, one area which I find extremely beneficial to Lexington Lab Band are the correct ensemble of instruments. They "are" using the right instruments to gain the right sound. Well done!
I was looking at the Boston album cover several nites ago n was stunned to discover what I thought was spaceships on there is in fact Guitars and the Word Peace is the smoje😂🤣and I’ve had that album for years!
This was my dads favorite song before he passed away. After he died I struggled (and still do) with losing him but I played Boston’s version (live, studio, demo, etc.) everyday and for 4 minutes it felt like he wasn’t gone. Fast forward and my wife was pregnant with my daughter and she must have heard peace of mind so many times before she was born that it calms her down and helps her sleep. Anyways, yesterday I played this video for her and she calmed down just like Boston’s version and if that isn’t the ultimate compliment I don’t know what is. Great work from your newest subscriber!
Same. I used to play bass many many years ago and since then the first thing I listen for in a song is the bass line & he nails this one right on the head of the nail! Actuallu the whole band did,
Def Leppard and Boston are among the hardest to cover because there are so many layered vocal harmonies and guitars to the production. That this band can reproduce both bands with such precision really is quite impressive.
Love this cover version. Ladies on the high harmony......that is so sweet sounding! BASS is dead on....but I am biased as a bassist...lol. Guitars got that Boston dual tracking guitar sound and the distortion and delay is just right. Drums with great time and driving bass in the pocket. Lead vocalist got a great feel. The mix is wonderful and the Tom Scholz guitar pick drags is all Boston.
Seeing these guys is like seeing Boston, Journey, Hall N' Oates, Doobie Brothers, Van Halen, etc, in their prime. They sound AMAZING! I'd pay to see that concert if they're ever going to tour. You don't just get one band but the best from all those legendary musical masters. We may not have Brad Delp, Eddie Van Halen, or Darryl Hall's voice around any more (sorry Darryl) but these guys recreate the magic of their heydays..
Has everyone noticed that many of these great covers bring back specific memories at specific times in the listener's life? The power of a great song can never be underestimated.
The year was 1978. I was a senior in high school. My best friend Steve White came to school one day and said "Mike, you have to hear this album!" The group is called Boston. The album -- More Than a Feeling. I had never heard anything so good. I turn 62 in March and STILL haven't. As a trial lawyer now, I have a ritual before the first day of every trial - Crank up Boston"s "Smokin" and "Rock and Roll Band!" Thank you again Steve and thank you LLB for the incredible memory!!
And to think Tom did the original all by himself (with Brad's vocals) down in his basement. Just a remarkable achievement. If he had known these ladies he would have used them too. Such beautiful harmonies.
Loved Brad's vocals. Side note, Tom didn't play the drums, a Jim Mar-something (can't remember his name) did on the demo. When Tom signed w/Epic, they told Tom, anybody but that drummer. So Tom got Sid Hasien for the 1st 3 albums, then they had a falling out. May Brad and Sid rest in peace.
Tom did not "do the original all by himself" in his basement. All of Brads vocals were recorded in a big name studio under the direction of producer John Boylan. Sib played drums on all of tracks but one. Jim Masdea plays drums on Rock and Roll Band. Barry plays electric rhythm guitar on Foreplay. Barry plays electric lead and rhythm guitars on Long Time. The huge power chords on Longtime are played by Barry. Fran plays bass on Foreplay. All of Let Me Take You Home was recorded in a big name studio by the band members as pictured on the back of the record. Tom has not been the most transparent and forthright person about how this record came to be and who did what along the way and giving credit where credit is due.
@@neechee5150 Tom is a strange bird for sure. You may be right, but whatever he did, or whoever he used, he still created an incredible sound on that 1st album (and the 2nd and 3rd).. The guitar, bass and organ are phenomenal on their own. Liking Boston is almost like being a punk, it is a defiance of the system. We see the rejection Scholz has endured from the snobs who control the industry. Yet I see so many musicians cover this music who seem to relish playing it. And I have a lot of band and concert t-shirts and my Boston T gets as much attention as any when I wear it out.
@@stevedrake604 Ever seen how many cameras they use? Also, the performance is recorded and remixed just like all video sessions. Any way you put it, they are fantastic.
Unfrigginbelievable! What a masterful tribute to the original! Musicianship that's as tight as my budget! And I really love the vocal harmonies! Kudos to the camera work and the recording / mixing engineer! Well done, everyone!
absolutely the bass player deserves as much credit as any others. to take on Boston and make it sounds as good as LLB does is an extraordinary accomplishment. the entire group deserves copious praise

Close your eyes I defy anyone not to identify with the origin of who cut the record first,so true to the sound
Still waiting for More then a feeling 😉
RIP to guitarist Tom Leszega who passed away in April, 2023. He's the guitarist in the middle, jeans and all black shirt. May God Bless Tom and his family!
I am so sorry for the loss of this man. My best to all
Geez, terribly sorry to hear it. He will be missed.
🙏🎶🎸🌷♥️R.I.P🎉 TOM gitarist
Prayers for Tom's family and friends 🙏
Very sorry to hear. Really loved his look and performance. RIP
bass player is literally perfect note for note im very impressed
Completely agree. Randy nails it! I would love to see LLB cover Boston's "Can'tcha Say (You Believe in Me)" because it's an awesome song with a fantastic bass part, and I would love to hear/see Randy play it.
They are all great, but when it comes to note for note precise reproduction, there is nobody in the band like Randy.
Let's hear it for the drummer too people!😎
Brad Delp's voice was one of a kind with near unmatched power and range. It takes guts for anyone to try and sing this song... 👍
And not a bad attempt. This band's covers are so authentic, it's a joy to watch them recreate the original sounds.
Fantastic job recreating the original sound.
I saw Brad Delp’s last performance, with his Beatles tribute band, before his death. He was absolutely amazing and one of a kind. Your vocals on this song would have made him very proud. It is indeed an honor to be compared to him and you compare very well.
Man your so right
Brad I got your name now gimmi your voice! awesome great tribute if you ask me!
Wow I clicked on here to see if they hit the high notes..yes sir.!! And the double lead guitars..great.. well done. Peck

Very well said.
I am 60 and been around music all my life. I totally agree . I'm a tone chaser and still searching the great ones after all these years.
Yes!! Amazing tone matching.
The skill level of this group of musicians is something to behold. Truly inspiring.
I was looking at the Boston album cover several nites ago n was stunned to discover what I thought was spaceships on there is in fact Guitars and the Word Peace is the smoje😂🤣and I’ve had that album for years!
Almost every take about the spaceships.
No doubts in my mind about that 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
If this guys aren't the best cover band on the planet...then......I'm not alive!
Agreed100 they’re definitely the best❤❤❤❤❤
Totally agree!!

Music is powerful! I too lost my dad recently and he was such an influence on me, including musically. Thanks for sharing your story with us! - V
@@LexingtonLabBand it's great to see that someone from the Band is reading and replying to comments. Keep it up!!!
Hang in there Mario. All the best to you, your wife and little baby
Mario, your dad raised a good man. Great to have you aboard!
@@johnmichael7983 thank you John! 🙏
Take it from a guitar player in his 60th year: This is about as perfect as this song can be performed.
OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just fell in love with this band! Their ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Really love the feminine backup vocals also!
Yeah, the female backup singers are awesome!
Yeah, they are the BEST!
Can you say masterpiece? Well kids, that is what you get with this song and EVERYTHING that LLB produces.
Fantastically done guys! BRAVO!
I want my "More Than A Feeling!"
I don't care how many times I watch this video, I am totally blown away by the performance and its perfection!
Yeah I just watched it last night and just rewatched it today, the next day. Totally awesome!
Same here! Just smh in wonder
Great song, always loved it, and beautifully covered! Thanks for the memories!
My favorite Boston tune❤
Never thought anyone could come close to duplicating the sound of BOSTON. THEY FUCKING DO!!!!!!!!!!
Never seen a bass player actually hold this song up to standard. I could watch a video of just him playing this song and never get tired of it.
I agree. Randy is amazing.
Agreed!!
I agree, Great bass player. The video producer does not give him enough screen time!
Same. I used to play bass many many years ago and since then the first thing I listen for in a song is the bass line & he nails this one right on the head of the nail! Actuallu the whole band did,
Those dual guitar solos are awesome!
Ridiculous good!!!! Love the vocal harmonies and just how rich and full they sound. I've got goosebumps listening to this!!!!
Love 💘 to the girls who sing back up on these songs .
Mike's range is truly incredible. Not many singers can hit the high notes that Brad Delp was known for. Great job !
you can tell these guys dont fuck around with equipment, top notch and it shows,, well done
WOW... just WOW!!! SIMPLY AMAZING!!! SPECTACULAR GUITAR WORK!!!
I closed my eyes and thought it was BOSTON! These people are seriously talented!!!
I love Jessica McKinney. .
Great musicians, great songs, nothing over the top, just great music. A great distraction from all the COVID BS!
Def Leppard and Boston are among the hardest to cover because there are so many layered vocal harmonies and guitars to the production. That this band can reproduce both bands with such precision really is quite impressive.
Yeah but that Hysteria era Def Leppard is Pop rock garbage High n Dry was when they rocked
What an extraordinary group of talented people! And from my home state to boot. 🫡
Im 68 and I CANT STOP HEAR THE MUSIC ITS make me happy and I Will Dance all the time .BRILLIANT THANK YOU SO MUCH
I WILL HEAR THE MUSIC OVER AND OVER AGAIN CANT STOP PLAY IT ♥️
Perfection! Love the female backup vocals; wow - great harmony! Thanks! :-)
Lady Jessica is in just about everything LLB does.
oh MAN! You guys are GREAT
His vocals are absolutely excellent.

@@Sto1660 Yeah Randy!
ROCKMAN at work
Thanks for putting it in words. My feelings exactly!
Agreed!!
Holy &^*%* you guys sound great........
There is nothing in heaven or on earth like the sound of 2 Les Paul's playing lead together. Nothing.
You have not been there (yet)---when your time comes you will know.
Closed my eyes and this took me back to my 70s teen years. Thank you...

And easy to look at also!
Tremendous
you guys are just trying to gat dates. they are weak
Strong.
Bravo. Absolutely awesome
Brilliant!!!
Randy is one amazing bass player!
Has everyone noticed that many of these great covers bring back specific memories at specific times in the listener's life? The power of a great song can never be underestimated.
sitting in our camaro listening to this on 8 track .. i can see it clearly . 78' circa
Music, the real time machine !
Riding around in the car with Dad on the weekends looking for trouble to get into!
Sitting in my 72 Cougar listening to this also on 8 track (which I still have and it works) @@CraigBMM right there with you Craig!

@@phill.2924 whoops
Vocals! Vocals! Vocals! Simply wonderful.
Guitars, guitars, guitars! Simply wonderful.
"Now if you're climbing to the top of the company ladder ..." is one of the most iconic stanzas in Rock & Roll.
Fantastic stuff guys n gals.
One of the best Damn renditions I’ve heard on this song! #True Ballers!!
Great memories...... great cover!
And again they do a great job belting out this song, so sorry about Tom passing, RIP.
Mighty fine job for sure
Simply perfect!! Better than the original. And the plus of beautiful and talented backup singers
Luv

Boston, beautiful melodies played impeccably xxx
Magic
As the self proclaimed biggest Boston fan, I APPROVE!!! ❤
I love this band. I was a kid again for just a few seconds. Mmmmmwwwaa!
I graduated in 73... Seen all the rock bands live in concert. And these guys do it right
Those female voices are so beautiful! Lovely rendition of this classic rocker.
excellent all!
Awesomeness again by LLB
Beautiful! That is all.
You guys rock. I grew up as a Boston fan back in the 70's and you guys did something that no one could dupicate what they did at the time.
A bad ass cover...takes me back to my San Diego CA...high school days🎸🎹🎤🎼🎵🎶🤘🤟🤙

SO many great albums came out in the '70's!
RIp Tom Leszega awesome guitarist an fantastic cover of Boston classic love it folks
Excellent!
PERFECT !!!!
the guitars sound like the real boston
They’re probably using Tom Scholz Rockman Modules. They give you the exact sound of Boston.
All of it does😂❤
I am humbled my these guys. As a bass player, I cannot get over the precision of the bottom line including drums...love it all....
The guy is very good
I thought Tom Scholz was great on bass. And I've played bass for a looong tme.

The bass line in this song is the best in classic rock. Change my mind.
I never realized that clean cut guys could play this kind of music. 🙂
Pretty trio of backup vocal gals!
Goosebumps when the girls came on on the first chorus.. Thank you for that.
Perfect!
