Saw them summer before COVID at Houston's Dosey Doey had a full band with all the horn section. Just great show and played both Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire. Dosey Doey is just a great venue if you have never been there. See many shows there and it is an old barn. Only eats a few hundred people. It is typically an expensive ticket since it is a small venue and they serve meals prior to shows. Seen there: Little River Band, Firefall, Foghat, Wishbone Ash, Graham Nash, Al Stewart, Uriah Heep, Eric Johnson, John Waite, Richie Kotzen, Acoustic Alchemy. I have seen other smaller acts also. The place has a great sound system and I highly recommend!

Leonid actually conducted a search to find someone to sing Cetera's parts and found him in Ukraine
Hell, that's been hard for Chicago to do. Scheff was pretty good but he sounds better when not trying to do Cetera.

Acoustic Alchemy
I’ve liked these guys for thirty years...the nylon string acoustic playing by Greg had such a great tone.

Finally saw these folks live at their Atlanta show last night.
Thoughts...
1) Ksenia is a smokeshow...but in person is even more incredible.
2) Oleg (sax) was easily the star of the show. He is one hell of a performer and hilarious
3) I was very disappointed to learn that Sergey (guitar) and Serge (Cetera vocals)_ were no longer playing with the group for different reasons. Looks like Sergey is pursuing other interests and Serge is home in the Ukraine during the conflict with Russia. They were both my favorite parts of all the videos the group has produced, but with that said....
4) their replacements were fantastic. The new guitarist, Konstantin, was a badass. The new vocalist singing Lamm's parts, Danil, was an incredible performer as well...probably the 2nd best performer after Oleg. And the new Cetera vocalist, Mikhail, was damn spot on and had a ton of energy.
5) drum solo during I'm a Man brought down the house. Holy shite.
6) I would easily choose to see this band play over Chicago at this point. I've seen Chicago twice...back in 2008 or so and then again in 2018 or 2019 when they played Chicago II in its entirety....but Leonid & Friends blow them away at this point.

I love them like I love cool weather and my dog. A few thoughts. The drummer expends less energy than any drummer in history. The woman is the single most beautiful woman alive. The vocalist with the beard kills me. The Chicago covers are the best. The fact that they exist makes me smile . I watch that stuff over and over.

I've met her and had pleasant conversations with her....Some would find her too petite, as in real life she is only about 5'2", but it is all proportionate. For me she is close to perfect. If I were only younger...
Nope, NOT "too petite". Thanks for the scouting report
Dude, I'm envious that you were able to do a photo shoot with this chick and the band (thanks for the share -- very cool.) Even IF you were younger? Think you'd really have had a shot? (and at what age would your last "Got-Game"be?)

Nice to hear you got to see them. Every one of them has musical credentials, conservatory training, etc. The best of the best they have. I had planned to be there in Atlanta but a family medical emergency prevented my going. I did get to see them perform and visit with them there last August. Leonid's son Roman gave me complimentary tickets. I introduced my daughter to them and Ksenia and a couple of the others. Daughter was interested in Andrei Zyl (trumpet), but found out he doesn't speak a lick of English (he is also not touring with the band this time as he has since gotten married and became a father). Never speak of politics but I would not mind if Ksenia and any of the rest just defected to the West. Glad to see her given more opportunity to front the band. Did they do "Ain't Nobody"? Here it is on YouTube, although the audio is not good. Can still enjoy seeing her perform.
Ain't Nobody
Sergey Kashirin and Serge Tiagniryadno are still making good music and have their own recording studios, and had good stuff up on YouTube even before the Leonid gig.

At the age of 44 I married a 27-year-old former Miss USA contestant who was selected "Most Photogenic" so I did pretty well when I was young. I do find Ksenia to be one of the most interesting and attractive women I've ever met, but we are from different worlds. Of course, I'm too old now to entertain the thought - at least not for long! That is Ksenia in my sig pic below.
