Bobby Lamm pays tribute to that venue on one of his later Chicago songs, "Scrapbook" on Chicago X (the candy bar album). There's a lyric that contains the words "at Barnaby's on State."
WOW....this is fantastic!!!! An audio recording of one of my favorite Chicago songs before they were actually Chicago! LOVE the pictures as well....while looking at them, I could only imagine the exuberance, innocence and anticipation those guys must have had at that time, wondering just how "big" a "thing" they were going to become. As we all know, they only became one of the biggest selling groups of all time, and my favorite band in the history of EVER. Thank you so much for posting this!
0ne of the most underrated bands of all time. How cool to listen to them back in their infancy. ! Unfortunately, bands like Chicago, BS&T and others would not be heard in todays musical arena. The members of Chicago were talented players, singers and song writers. Talent is not required in todays musical biz. Just turn on the radio, it's pure and unadulterated horse crap, but the kids like so I must be getting real old. LOL
People on this post seemed surprise that the band was already performing this song before Chicago 2 came out. Robert wrote this before he joined the band, along with many other songs that would come to life on the CTA album and Chicago 2. I think I heard Walt saying that when they met Robert, he showed them a notebook of original compositions and one of them was this song. Yeah, Robert had a leg up on the other song writers in the band. That's why many of the earlier Chicago tunes were his because the other guys weren't even writing until the second album.
Unfortunately, Lamm's song writing virtually dried up right about the same time that Kath accidentally killed himself, which essentially ended Chicago as they were.
@@RCGoetzke Lamm's biggest problem at the time, from what I've heard and read, was his drug abuse. That's why the other band members had to pick up the slack in later years. Look how few Lamm songwriting credits appear from VIII to 17. Kath was the heart of the band, but Lamm was the soul.
@@ChristopherUSSmith Supposedly, drug use, particularly cocaine, increased among some band members, Kath, Lamm, and Loughnane, after the band began recording their albums at JWG's Caribou ranch in 1973. Kath's ended when he accidentally killed himself in 1978, and Lamm and Loughnane finally got clean in the early 1980s.
@@ChristopherUSSmith On the contrary, I considered Kath the soul and Lamm the heart of the band, with Cetera its cash register. He sure made the other band members a lot of money with his mellifluous vocals and power ballads before in went solo. Cetera and Seraphine also made an ass-kicking rhythm section.
This is so great to see! Gracias Carlos! I'm hoping that new "History of Chicago" film that is coming out will have lot's more of these oldie and goodie photos in it.
this was my "wake up" music this morning. Perfectly suggested! What a great find this is.... "Wake Up Sunshine" is one of my favorite Chi tunes; and it has a very special place in my heart. To hear this done live in the early days is so special. Thanks, babe. This really made my day!!
Thanks so much for sharing this blueprint of a much - loved track, and for the great pictures as well. Do you have Chicago's version of Tom Jones' It's Not Unusual anywhere?
Juan where you got all this stuff from? unbelievable! What a great peace of history. Please post all you have from the Terry Kath Area. Every new picture I haven´t seen before keeps me smiling. Terry Kath never reached and never forgotton!
"Mississippi Delta City Blues" was also in their set list at the time, and that never made it to record until Chicago XI (but there was an attempt for Chicago V).
Remember Questions Make me smile and Beginnings three hit songs by three different singers to start with. Maybe only John Paul and George done that before?
@@ChristopherUSSmith Actually, George and Ringo both had a lead vocal on "Meet the Beatles", the band's first U.S. album in 01/1964, Harrison on "Don't Bother Me", which he also wrote, and Starr on "I Wanna Be Your Man", which was written by Lennon and McCartney, primarly McCartney.

Spent many a night at Barnaby's on State St. Chicago, while working at Beavers across the street. Saw CTA more times than I can remember.

02:07 what a great picture of young Terry and Bobby

wonderful & spectacular pics & song of Chicago!
Well done and thank you
What a wonderful find!! Love the pix!!
Thank you
Holy shit!
Always knew this part of the CTA sessions, even though it appeared on II. Thanks for the post!!
Fantastic!
Wow! Chicago fan
Nice pics especially the ones towards the beginning. They all looked like kids! Wow! Thanks for the video!
Awesome channel Carlos
Thank you!
very rare!

I just heard it on the Itchey Foot Mose Los Angeles Sept 1968 (here on UA-cam)
ua-cam.com/video/URW7-nIRCQ4/v-deo.html
I believe this is the song you’re looking for
i'm glad that they changed their name !
Initially, Kath, Parazaider, and Seraphine played together as "The Missing Links".
Jake....Peter was already in the band at this time...he was the one singing, "Can't have you hiding"
Yeppers... He joined in December 1967.
Juan where you got all this stuff from? unbelievable!
What a great peace of history. Please post all you have from the Terry Kath Area.
Every new picture I haven´t seen before keeps me smiling.
Terry Kath never reached and never forgotton!
Jammie .....
Another great find. Thanks. Do you know what the Chicago Kid is up to these days? Has gone AWOL.
Wow, where did you get this!?!...and the photos are great....LOVED IT!!
This individual "Carlos" hasn't told us where he got this tape. I am sure there is a lot more.
Miniature tape recorders really were not out then.
Funny this wasn't recorded till they put out Chicago II.
"Mississippi Delta City Blues" was also in their set list at the time, and that never made it to record until Chicago XI (but there was an attempt for Chicago V).
Remember Questions Make me smile and Beginnings three hit songs by three different singers to start with. Maybe only John Paul and George done that before?
George and Ringo didn't do lead vocals until much later in their band's run. Chicago had three leads from the get go.
@@ChristopherUSSmith Actually, George and Ringo both had a lead vocal on "Meet the Beatles", the band's first U.S. album in 01/1964, Harrison on "Don't Bother Me", which he also wrote, and Starr on "I Wanna Be Your Man", which was written by Lennon and McCartney, primarly McCartney.
They all had haircuts like The Beach Boys back then
At 1:43, that's Danny Seraphine on the far left.
Love Bobby Lamm, but surprised how pudgy some photos make him look. Well, I gained a college ten or so myself.
Who is that at the far left at 1:43? It looks like Mel Schacher of Grand Funk Railroad.
At 1:43, from L to R: Danny Seraphine, Peter Cetera, and James Pankow.
Wonder who's doing "Can't have you hiding?" Any idea how after this was done before Peter came on board?
Peter was on board as of December '67, so that *is* him.
Its Peter Cetera
That is Petey right there friend
Are there other tapes of other songs?
How about photos inside Barnaby's
Naze .
:48 Walt sang?!
