Notes:

New Year’s Day 1982, $10.00. Karla DeVito opened. She was great. Mid set, she said, “And now a special guest, someone who I’ve always wanted to sing backup for. Mis-ter…Lou…Christie!” He ran on stage and she backed him on “Lightning Strikes.” We were all screaming, “…again and again and again and again.” Their act, as the girls on Jamaica Avenue said at that time, was “hellafide.” But Flo and Eddie topped them. They’d backed up Bruce Springsteen on “Hungry Heart” and, suddenly, we heard the downbeat and sax for the song. Immediately, the audience started singing “Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack,” while Flo and Eddie stood there looking at each other, scratching their heads. When the second verse came around, they sang the background harmonies. They looked at the audience, shaking their heads, saying, “We don’t know the words. We don’t have the album. We’re just backup singers!”
