I saw this tour. Rick James was the headline act, although he decided to go on before Cameo but waited until about midnight to do so. That meant that Cameo didn’t come on until around 2am but they rocked it and most people stayed. Never seen anything like it. That summer I saw Cameo twice, Rick James once, The Time twice, The Barcays once and a few others. Great touring season!
4:20 - Candy! So beautiful..I remember listening to this in the summer of 87'. I had a tape and I'd listen to it. I fell in love for the first time shortly thereafter. This songs takes me back to that special, magical era...I listen to this song and it's like I'm back there for a moment. I think a lot of the people in the audience were having a similar experience, remembering this song as representing a special time...
Cameo is all-time favorite band of time I enjoyed the song Candy so muchI had decided to name my son or daughter something from the group I wind up having a son I could name him candy so I named him cameo and I still play and enjoy the music right
This show was supposedly in 1997. Therefore, it was eleven(11) years after the album, "Word Up," with the song, "Candy," on it, was released. Its beautiful that, after that much time, Larry Blackmon, who is entertaing the audience, from 6:09, to 6:32, sound just like he did in 1986, in singing, "Candy."-God is good.
Kortne Greene my dad taped this and I was 7 years old. Would watch it all the time until finally my dad got sick of me asking to watch it lol so great tho!
These guys have been at it for over forty years , the first time i saw them was back in 1976 or 77 i was twenty two or twenty three i'm a old head and they're still kicking😀
Thanks Sinbad for recognizing old school. Wish you would do more shows today with more old school bands their is always an audience for this. Cameo. One of the GOAT bands🎅

Great sounds New York city players Thank you Mr.Larry 😊🙏😀 Master Genuis mind Music 🎶🎵🪕🎼💿🎸🎶🎵🪕🎼💿🎸🎶🎵 ⚫◼⬛♟▪✒Blackmon And Cameo sounds always Asome Band. In Caribbean Island 🏝😍
Cameo's "Candy" should be FUNK'S anthem!!! That song has always got me hyped. Larry Blackmon's vocals and that beat is unforgettable. I love it and always will!!! Great band with exceptionally great music!!!
If we want our music we have to be a voice with our dollars. We have to buy and listen. Tune only in to radio stations that play what we want to hear.
Dude I am 49yrs. and I've seen Cameo three times in my lifetime.......each time they amazed me. I wish,i could have been at this concert.....Thanks For the POST!!!!!
I don't remember ooo yes i do WOW why did music change so much man i will never stop loving this kinda music it made my world go round man these song s right not if one of my kids here. Music like this my daughter say mom i see why you love this kinda music BC rap is to mean we not surprised to listen to it not around me ni way. But i can't control that either just keep education my kid teaching them about the difference in time this is real music now my son don't wanna hear nothing but rap. When he broke up with its girl friend he mom what's the name of that song you played over n. Over it was a slow love song. He had his first broken heart now its time for my music see i kept a lotta kid around my house even when my were not hone they miss angela can we sit. On your proch i say go ahead baby
I taped this one and Summer Jam 98 when they first came on HBO. I let someone borrow them a few years ago and I never got them back. I guess this is the closest I will get to these legendary performances. Thank you very much for the post.

One of the greatest funk bands of all time!
ONE OF THE GREATEST FUNK BANDS OF ALL TIME.
Instablaster...
One of THE MOST TALENTED AND OVERLOOKED GROUPS EVER! This group put me on the map!
When true funk, r and b, rock and musicianship meets...CAMEO
Cameo brings the funk! I remember taping this from Sinbad's special and playing over and over. Larry Blackmon and the band jamming! 👏🤘
CAMEO, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST!
SIMPLY LEGENDARY!!! CAMEOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Sorry but Rick James wasn't the headliner. This is Cameo as part of the all star Sinbad Summer Jam Festival
@@seand67 That summer they went on tour as part of the Kool Summer Concert series. I was there.
@@TheSteveSteele Ok
that bass player killing it
Aaron Mills
Bruh..been saying for 15 years how underrated Aarron Mils is....straight beast...
@@nathanrogers4018 yes awesome, he's played on quite a few hits. One come to mind is Outkast Ms. Jackson
RIP JOHN BLACKWELL, THE FUNKIEST DRUMMER... 💜
💜
John Blackwell was SUCH A FUNKY DRUMMER!! 🔥
Yes he was! He was a beast.
JB was MAD Funky!! One of my favorite drummers! So sad he’s not with us anymore…! R.I.P
I wish i was there!!! Would’ve gladly skipped a day of high school to be there!
My brothers rocking the house 24/7, Funk City, USA!! MUSIC4LIFE .....BROTHERS4LIFE!!
The most UNSUNG band of ALL-TIME!!!,no Grammies or nothing,but still put it down for decades!!!
KING KUMARI and zapp and roger
KING KUMARI Very true! They were awesome!
I did not know that, but just read Ms. Diana Ross, never received a Grammy!
100% agree!
Super under rated
John Blackwell Jr. on Drums and Aaron Mills on Bass!!!!
What a performance! Nobody plays funk like this magnificent group. Check out the beats and the delivery. Absolutely mind blowing!
Cameo performed on the same bill as Rick James in 1982. I hate to say it because I loved Rick, but Cameo turned it O-U-T! UNSUNG, please!
THEY WERE THE ISHHHHHH
LARRY IS ONE OF A KIND!! IF KEPT CAMEO TOGETHER!! 2021.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS OF ALL TIMES....COMING WITH THE FUNKNESS...AND FUNKTIFIED.....YES..........................

Thanks for your great comments. Real music has that effect
My in h
I remember candy in 1987 with joy ❤️. We need this tremendous talent and energy today. Today's popular performers are less than Cameo standard.
Word Up My Jam Love Some Cameo
This is so beautiful seeing all the couples dancing and loving on one another while having a good time.
Today's generation will never know how that feels
you're so right
Aaron killed it! That growling bass. The way a bass should sound.
Cameo is all-time favorite band of time I enjoyed the song Candy so muchI had decided to name my son or daughter something from the group I wind up having a son I could name him candy so I named him cameo and I still play and enjoy the music right
I remember first listen to this cassette and telling my soon to be wife that “Its like Candy” was my favorite and “Word Up” came in second.
D Man 1986 was a great year
Man these guys could FUNK OUT.... Great mix of funk, synthesizers.. incredible musicianship, crazy costumes.. really unique
I’m 25 years old and I love Cameo wish I was born in the 80s
Didn't realize that was John Blackwell on drums, til I heard his foot work and saw that stick twirl! Instant giveaway!! Love me some JB!!
Thanks for watching and posting a comment.
I was at this concert in Aruba. I can see myself at 1:16 and 8:14

Cameo best funk metal ever 👌🇹🇹
I remember being 9 years old watching this special on HBO with my parents. It was like a yearly thing Sinbad did for I think 4 or 5 years. LOVE IT!!!!
Kortne Greene my dad taped this and I was 7 years old. Would watch it all the time until finally my dad got sick of me asking to watch it lol so great tho!

Cameo's "Candy" should be FUNK'S anthem!!! That song has always got me hyped. Larry Blackmon's vocals and that beat is unforgettable. I love it and always will!!! Great band with exceptionally great music!!!
Kick ass 🔫 performance God bless Cameo members past and present. They forced other groups to up thier game to compete. They didn't even come close.
I was at this concert in Beautiful Aruba!
Btw…That’s a young John Blackwell who went on to play with Prince before he passed!!!RIP
The Drummer "John Blackwell" was also Prince's drummer until his death!!!🥁🥁🥁
Best 11 min, mini funk set. I want more, hurt me hurt me...haha. I love Cameo. Everytime there in L.A. I catch a show. Great post seand67
We really saw Great Entertainment growing up. Every thing and every one was Popppin!
Man, I have watched this video at least 50 times and cannot stop watching it. LONG LIVE CAMEO. OWWWWW!!!!
I wish I could find all the Sinbad summer jams . I missed alot of them on HBO. This is real music!
They had success of top hits in the Uk..
If we want our music we have to be a voice with our dollars. We have to buy and listen. Tune only in to radio stations that play what we want to hear.
These dudes were amazing and ahead of thier time for sure.
"Baby cause you effect me, fascinate me" Mmmm Luv the dance Larry was doing when he sang that part.. Whew thank goodness for rewind!!!
My favorite video 97
So Great
"Sparkle" yes!
DON'T HURT 'EM CAMEO. This is the way we used to do it. That's yall's mamas and daddies out there partying. Hell, I thought I was there, lol.
Tomi has a great voice.
Love Cameo!
LOVE THE HELL OUT OF CAMEO 2 ME THEY EARNED IT LEGENDARYS.
RIH John. You were one of the greats!
Dude I am 49yrs. and I've seen Cameo three times in my lifetime.......each time they amazed me. I wish,i could have been at this concert.....Thanks For the POST!!!!!
Good music right there. Live band, good singing...it gets no better than that
bass and guitar are killin it
I came across this video in January 2020. brings back such memories
When Cameo is hittin' on all 8 cylinders " live" it's a beautiful thang. I didn't know Tomi sung lead on "Sparkle".
Anthony Lockett sang lead on the song Sparkle, but Tommy Jenkins did the damn thing!
GREAT rhythm section! Still got all my 12" EPS!!
♫
Did not see this Sinbad Funky jam until now. To quote Sugarfoot: "Somebody pick me up off the floor". Cameo has always been for real, dig it.
John Blackwell on drums!
Oh wow!!!! Love John!!!
First time over 20 years to see anything related to Cameo
THE1POSTMAN loves Cameo since the 80"s Great real music group!! He would know
Great band and great audience!
What is Cameo up to now? Every song I hear bring me back to the days when parties were about having a dance and having a little fun! Aaaah yess...!
I don't remember ooo yes i do WOW why did music change so much man i will never stop loving this kinda music it made my world go round man these song s right not if one of my kids here.

Larry Blackmon and his family lived on my street in Atlanta.
LOVE THE JAM SPARKLE.
Cameo is THAT band. They deserve major accolades for supreme music that made us get our boogie on.
Something about the way Larry moves 🤤
One of the many great funk groups of the 70s and 80s.
man.. John Blackwell killed this set!
I taped this one and Summer Jam 98 when they first came on HBO. I let someone borrow them a few years ago and I never got them back. I guess this is the closest I will get to these legendary performances. Thank you very much for the post.
