5.0 out of 5 stars I too was Young ONCE!, September 28, 2003

I was at this concert at MY FATHER'S PLACE when this was recorded. It is such a happy memory. We were little Waitresses freaks. We saw them all over Long Island and Manhattan. They were so cutting edge at the time and no one was cooler than the late fantastic Patty Donahue. Makes my middle-aged and yet still youthful face smile when THE WAITRESSES are blasting on my MP3 when my 40 something years body runs. With Patty Donahue dying a few years back no chance of a reunion for THE WAITRESSES, but always fond memories and a special place for that hip chick in my heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure Fun, June 9, 2004

This review is from: King Biscuit Flower Hour (Audio CD)

Many people have blown off this early 80s group as a silly novelty band. But I regard them as a truly talented group of musicians who created some of the most clever and infectious pop music ever recorded. Their fun, upbeat songs will bring a smile to your face and a spring in your step. The sound quality of this concert isn't quite as crisp as I would like, but considering it was recorded over 20 years ago it's not bad. I especially recommend this CD paired up with the group's "20th Century Masters" greatest hits studio compilation. The song "P. Strut," which isn't on the "20th Century Masters" disc is worth the price of this CD in itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mars attacks!, September 7, 2010

I haven't heard this, so forgive me for giving it five stars, but anything with Mars Williams playing saxophone on it deserves 5 stars, as he is IMHO the greatest reeds player in the known universe. He currently resides in his hometown of Chicago, where he works infrequently with his funky jazz ensemble Liquid Soul, tours regularly with the Psychedelic Furs, does many avant garde / improvised music projects with the top players in the field, and plays a weekly gig with a great quartet, the Extraordinary Popular Delusions, at a local club. He just tore up the stage at the Chicago Jazz Festival last Saturday (9/4/10) with a quintet led by pianist Paul Giallorenzo. By all means buy this, and check out the (one) Waitresses vid (I Know What Boys Like) on YouTube!
