Thanks for uploading this. The Waitresses are very undervalued, despite their huge talent level. They both seem like sweet people. Such a shame that Patty departed way too soon.
Born in 1958, I was raised in Solon, and followed closely the music scene. In fact, I might actually have watched this very "Afternoon Exchange." Love The Waitresses! Like Patty, I attended Kent State. I didn't know, and am saddened as hell to hear, how short was Patty's life-but her music lives on. Thanks so much for this rarity!
I recently found a sealed copy of their first album Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful here in Parma/Cleveland area. Happy I got it in December as their Christmas song Christmas Wrapping is playing now. Fascinated with her career and the groups from the Akron area from the 70s and 80s
I came across a song they did live in 1982 called Hump Day (originally done by Chris’s earlier band Tin Huey) It is done live. I posted a video. The song is not on CD but is on a DVD.
You are welcome. I found a download of a concert they did in 1982 that had Hump Day but the quality was bad. The broom I found on the net was taken from a DVD of another concert.
Ralph Carney was a dear friend of mine (and countless others) and knowing him in San Francisco was a wild experience. Every hang was mind jumbling and lovely.
priceless! Thanks so much for unearthing it and giving it an informative contextualization. Do you know anything about the post-musical career of Donahue, by any chance? Wikipedia says virtually nothing.
@@ClevelandLiveMusic I had to look up what that is: a talent scout and developer of the signed artists..was she successful at this, like as in made a good living and never had to go back to normal jobs? There is zero info on her, thanks.
@@joejones9520Unfortunately, Patty Donahue passed away in late 1996 of lung cancer. She was only 40 years old. As for A&R jobs, they're fairly steady once you get hired. Many in A&R don't actually sign artists, they'll keep tabs on modern tastes and trends in the industry, listen to countless demos, attend shows, especially showcases. They work with radio stations (now streaming services and social media) to get a sense of what the demand is. Some in A&R only do they (demand research,) some compile lists of potential artists labels may be interested in and write up their findings. Some invite emerging artists to showcase for a labels, some take the artists through the signing process, some evaluate how currently signed artists are progressing as they write and demo songs. It's a pretty varied field.
I became a fan from the Square Pegs tv show theme. Lots of connections to other bands. I was a waiter too. Band - Maid is favorite current band - Miku is the only one who was a waitress dressed like a maid.
@@ClevelandLiveMusic next time you talk to him can you ask him to post more of when he was younger. pictures and videos. also ask him to publish a memoir
Patty was so talented,unique and beautiful 😍 ❤️
They also did the theme to the forgotten television show Square Pegs.
Gone, but not forgotten!
Patti was just gorgeous ❤️
Born male tho'
I saw them open for Oingo Boingo in Austin in '83. I think I was the only person there to see The Waitresses and not Oingo Boingo.

Patti was so ahead of her time. Damn cigarettes
makes me cry.
I wonder if her fidgeting with her hands is due to a nic fit.
@@scottcharney1091Yea.. too bad she wasn't around to be a guest on "The Dick Cavette Show"
@@christopherfritz3840 He has remarked with dismay on just how much smoking happened on the show.

Thanks SO much for posting and the absolutely fantastic introduction. The Waitresses have a. place in the hearts of millions.

Patty Donahue, Su Tissue, Lene Lovich, they were always my favorite female vocalists and icons of the new wave era.
Thanks for this , they are still in my rotation
This is great. Thanks for posting this

Hump Day is on a DVD called Live at Hurrah.
I Know What Boys Like hit #14 in Australia
Love to see a good artist remaster ( I know what boy’s like ) one day.
Excellent upload. Love the Waitresses. I have their albums. 👏👏👏
Patty was only 40 when she passed on. Her maternal grandmother out lived her.
That’s so crazy she had a warm charming presence to her
Ralph Carney was a dear friend of mine (and countless others) and knowing him in San Francisco was a wild experience. Every hang was mind jumbling and lovely.
My advice is to stay clear of that Pat Thimas guy if he is around
This was my 24th birthday.

I want to know what they talked about with Harrison Ford!
I have more news for you. There is a site called Band Camp. They have a Waitresses song White Bread done live. I will try to post a video on it.
Wonder if Harrison asked patty for her # backstage. I woulda
Yeah guys Patti was good… Chris was the brian Wilson of this operation.
