Tonight I bought a used vinyl copy of CHICAGO X for (Dude!) $1.99. Well,
that's nothing; I also got HOT STREETS for $ .99.
Well, anyway, when I get them on CD next year I can use the LP jackets as
posters for my room.
But anyway I'm looking at the group portrait in the gatefold inside CHICAGO
X. I identified Walt, Lee, Peter, Jimmy and Bobby pretty easily. I'm guessing
that's Laudir de Oliveira actually riding the motorcycle and Danny running with
the suitcase, but I was all confused over Terry. Assuming that's him with the
sheet music under his arm he looks really different. By the way his "Hope For
Love" is beautiful.

Bobby is riding the motorcycle. Lee and Walter are to his right. Jimmy and Peter to
his left.

correct

Laudir is holding the sheet music. Terry is holding his hat and is wearing a denim
shirt with a rope (?) around his neck..

The real spooky thing about those "live action" pictures that grace IX, X
and XI is that on the 11th album there is a gun pointed right at Terry's
head in the "car chase" photo.

Microphone cables, if I remember correctly.

Wow! THAT'S BOBBY?!? He looks so strange. Maybe it's just because he's
mugging. He looks kind of Middle Eastern.

With all due respect, I'm a monkey's uncle if that's not Bobby. Terry is
driving the bike.

Amazing thing is, why do we even need to have this discussion? Are these
guys that anonymous-looking? I remember having to take a few seconds to
figure out who was who on all three of those albums (and on IX I even got
some of them wrong for years).

Wasn't that the idea behind the logo and the titling of all the albums with
the roman numerals? The music itself was supposed to be the visible face of
the band, and the individual members saw themselves not as individual stars
to be recognized but as parts of a whole that was greater than merely the
sum of its' parts.
