==================================================================

I was glad to see the other Bottom Line re-seeded yesterday.

I really needed to hear it for comparison purposes.

Now is the best time to upload this new recording.

No one has ever heard this 3/1/82 recording until now.

I'm offering 2 separate recordings in this torrent.

The Waitresses were an experimental post-punk band from Akron, Ohio.

The group was led by guitarist/songwriter Chris Butler with lead vocals performed by Patty Donahue.

They had success with the song called "I Know What Boys Like", from their 1982 debut album.

The band finally split up in late 1984 after the departures of Ralph Carney and Dan Klayman.

Patty Donahue was working as an A & R for MCA records when she died of lung cancer at the age of 40 on December 9, 1996.

Band Members

Patty Donahue (lead vocals, 1978–1983)
Mars Williams (saxophone)
Dan Klayman (keyboards/organ)
Tracy Wormworth (bass, background vocals) (1982–1984)
Chris Butler (guitar)
Billy Ficca (Drums)

When Patty introduces the drummers name, it doesn't sound like she's saying Billy Ficca at all. but it must be.

Track 9 has a quick tape cut @ 2:28. A little music missing.

Track 11 has the tape flip @ 2:13. A little music missing.

=======================================

This same cassette contained additional material. I didn't want to split this apart and wanted to keep everything together.

Since the sound quality is nearly identical for both recordings on this cassette, I believe this is also Gene's recording.

Gene was a big fan of The Waitresses. He attended and taped a handful of their shows.

At this time I'm unable to verify the venue and date.

I know they played at least 2 consecutive nights at the Bottom Line. 2 shows each night on March 1 and 2, 1982.

I've included a scan of the j-card and cassette inside this torrent.

Possible venue and date: speculative (definitely not the early show)
