- Leonid & Friends concert June 21, 2022, in Wisconsin Dells, WI at The Palace Theater. Leonid & Friends, comprised of 11 of the finest musicians in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus, play primarily the songs of Chicago.
Another dynamic vocal performance on this Chicago track and the horns again just take this to another level as usual.
The vocal blending among the lead singers is a pleasure for the ears. Then, throw in the guitar, the slamming drums, the vocals, and horns to bring it to a close. Excellent!
Mikhail Puntov on lead vocals with Ksenia Buzina, Danil Buranov and Vasily Akimov joining in later. Lead guitarist Konstantin Kovachev jams at the end and drummer Igor Javad-Zade really hits the skins hard and heavy toward the end.

I miss Serge too, but Michael is very talented…would love to see them both in the band! God bless Serge, his family, and the Ukraine.
I only discovered these guys a short time ago - when you listen to their studio recordings they sound almost more like Chicago than Chicago. The fact they're from Russia and other eastern European nations (including Ukraine) shows that great music is borderless and has a power to bring people together like almost no other creation of man.
Mikhail Puntov has such a pure sweet voice. I love it. He also does a fantastic job on the bands cover of "So Very Hard to Go". That's one of the best songs ever, imo, and the band just kills it. They're always fun to watch. I really like the entire collaboration of everyone coming together.
Love this band! I hope they keep blessing us with their talents.
Really like these 3 harmonies together-Amazing and beautiful and Ksenia looks stunning!
IDK his name but the sax player is rocking it!! There's a man who loves what he does.
Love this group, saw them in concert in Southern California. Awesome!
Michael has an amazing voice. I could listen to him sing for hours. It is mesmerizing to the ear!!! I look forward to seeing you all live again in NY at the Patchogue theatre. Love ❤️ & support from NY
This is a really tough song for vocals. Amazing job as usual. Excellent tribute!
I look forward to seeing you in the Tampa Bay, Florida Area soon.
You are an amazing tribute band.
I hope that you also have original songs.
Blessings.
Thanks - good vid and sound, could have done with more of that on this tour! Michael's fitted in well.
The lead vocalist is pretty good but I miss Serge. Would love to see things go back to the way they should be in his country so he can rejoin. And I do miss Sergey Kashirin. Man is he talented.
Me too
So do I😭👍👍👍👍👍
Mee too
I like them both
Nothing against this vocalist. He is wonderful, but I really do miss Serge. I like him on this song. I like all the vocalists, and the one in this video is amazing on so very hard to go.
Saw them in Portland. Amazing.
Mee too they were great saw them last year when serge was still there
Awesome band!♥
Love this band!
another great performance. Can you imagine the travel schedule these guys have been on and they still look fresh and enthusiastic every performance. Amazing group.
And in addition to the travel and being so far from home, they are also dealing with the politics of what is going on in Russia and the Ukraine. Yet, they still put on wonderful shows and bring energy.
WOW!!! Just WOW!!!
They so awesome live!
Looking forward to seeing them in Gilbert, AZ on 10/14/2022.
I will be there also.
Fantastic ❤❤❤❤
brilliant
Saw them recently at The Birchmere
Great sound!!!!!!!!!!!
The lead singer on this song would be a great sub for Neil Donnell in Chicago or if Neil ever decided not to renew his contract, a great replacement!
Wow, what a great tribute band.
I hope that you do your own original songs.
Most Excellent
Great job!!
Come back to Roanoke, Virginia !!!!!
I 2nd that!!!
They did and I went! The meet and greet at Elmwood Park was amazing
@@freddystone7584 I did not ever see it advertised. Hopefully they will return again soon. So glad that you went to see them. Peace
Fantastic! Great job!! :)
When is your next concert in California
La voz de Serge es mucho mas parecida a la original de Chicago. este vocalista arrastra mucho las notas. y eso lo hace oír diferente a la canción original .
Is that chum lee?
Was this Sellersville ,PA? I was there. Can't quite tell. Think I'd know..I was there
This was recorded in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin in late June of this year. Their first appearance there. Excellent show!
To Ralph G. I like Serge also but on this song the words are "searchin" and Serge always sang "searching " eccentuating the "g" and that's why I like this version better!
LOL - I like Serge best because over the years the more I listened to Peter Cetera the more irritated I got. Precisely for things like what you point out. It seemed to me Peter wouldn't hold any note longer than a quarter note and preferred eighth notes. OTOH, Serge doesn't do that. So I can totally relate to how you feel.
Thanks Ralph G., you get it!
They still have the hot chick but I miss the originals.
So do I 😢 but the wars in Ukraine are hell n one member also died in a vehicle accident
The song intro sound to me like the original Chicago recording. Near the end at 4:00 minute mark the music sounds like a cover band. Who is playing the piano opening?
I believe the piano opening is being played by Sergey Kurmaev who is the keyboardist for the band. He joined in 2020, replacing original keyboardist Vlad Senchillo.
Missing the old vocalist 👎
this is ok, they are just a cover band,
True. Chicago is in some sense also a tribute band as well with only 3 of the original 8 members still touring with them.
They sound more like the original Chicago did then the Chicago of today! They're the "posers". I've seen Chicago perform 6 times since 1973 and the last time I saw them in Chicago with REO I was really disappointed. In the 70's they OWNED music, now they're just a glimpse of what they were!
Most members of this "cover band" not only had to learn how to sing in English but Leonid transcribed the first charts by ear, as no sheet music was available. How's that for a "cover band"?
I'm guessing most of them know the difference between 'there' and 'they're.'
Your mom likes them!
Fantastic!
