Wonder Why There's Not A Live Barkays Record From The 70's Out On The Market? I've never got a chance to catch these dudes live...But people tell me that they used to straight clown whenever they took the stage...I myself, even remember seeing a live performance from them on TV, and they took no prisoners. Considering this, it is a bloody shame that there is no documentation of their live show(particularly the 70's era...Mercury/Polygram Records needs to dig in those vaults 4 REAL)...Perhaps there was one out there, but I missed it. Does anybody know whether there was a live album from these funkateers from Memphis,TN?

I've never seen anything about them having a live show from back in the day but I caught them on a Sinbad special in the late '90s and if they were anything like that, I'm sure the '70s were off the chain. | |

Not all, but four of the six members. Bassist James Alexander and trumpeter Ben Cauley weren't in the crash. [This message was edited Wed Jan 21 21:09:43 PST 2004 by Supernova] This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
