Catching Up, part 1 (October 30)

October 30, 1981 - Eddie & the Otters at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

Another evening at the Hungry I-Thou Lounge during Eddie's second year (?) of studies at the Seminary. The only memories I have of this show are what are provided by the pictures and recording. There was a group from Kentucky State University (or some college in Kentucky) at the Seminary that week and they attended the dance, taking over the stage for a rap and some spirituals before joining us for a version of "Shout" to close the show. There's a picture of Jesse Hunter playing guitar, so he must have played with us at some point, but I don't have a record of which songs. And we were still hyping our newly-released 7" EP, as you can see from the picture below of Doug signing autographs. The recording offers an interesting mix of newer additions to our repertoire, songs resurrected from the toga party era, and the only performance of "All Along the Watchtower", which leads into "Gloria".
