Patti was just gorgeous ❤️

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

I wonder if her fidgeting with her hands is due to a nic fit.

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.

Patty Donahue, Su Tissue, Lene Lovich, they were always my favorite female vocalists and icons of the new wave era.

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

Love to see a good artist remaster ( I know what boy’s like ) one day.

I Know What Boys Like hit #14 in Australia

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.

Patty was only 40 when she passed on. Her maternal grandmother out lived her.

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

Excellent upload. Love the Waitresses. I have their albums. 👏👏👏

This was my 24th birthday.

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.

​@@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 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.

Hump Day is on a DVD called Live at Hurrah.

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.

Merry Christmas Ken!
