Vehicle – Leonid & Friends (The Ides of March cover).
Jim Peterik, best known as the founder of the band Survivor; OR as vocalist and songwriter of “Vehicle” by the Ides of March gave a superb compliment to the Leonid & Friends YouTube stars and touring group from Russia.
Jim Peterik is co-writer of the anthem “Eye of the Tiger”, the theme from the motion picture Rocky III.
Peterik once performed in an All-Star line-up with Alan Parsons of Alan Parsons Project, the country group Blackhawk, and other stars at Harmony in in the pre-Million Dollar Block Party era in downtown Arlington Heights.
Here’s what Jim Peterik had to say about Leonid & Friends …
Ides of March Official (YouTube)
I just heard what is probably the best cover of our chestnut “Vehicle” that I’ve ever heard in my life! In fact, when I first heard this, I thought it was us! And then I looked at it and saw it was all these other people…
It’s a real homage to the Ides of March and the sound we created with “Vehicle.” We couldn’t be prouder that you chose this song. I have to tell you, the guitar solo (Sergey? Serge?) — he’s the only guitar player that’s ever copped my lead note-for-note-perfect. The horn section is tight, Vasily is great (strange to hear a little of that accent, but that’s just fine!)
Anyway, congratulations, Leonid and Friends and Great God in Heaven, we love you!
