[seand67]

@MrKoolkh Thanks for stopping by. I have a better copy, but until I repost the set, please be thankful that You Tube hasn't deleted the video because of copyright infringement.

[mrstanbmw]

Tommy and Charlie whose on the guitar been with Larry from day one

[seand67]

@mrstanbmw Not true. Charlie Singleton joined Cameo in 1981 for the 'Knights Of The Sound Table' album.

[mrstanbmw]

@seand67 my badd

[pattifanalwayz]

@seand67 knights of the round table "Freaky Dancin."

[byrd1nypa]

@seand67 for sho.. before Charlie, who did take Cameo to another level, was ERIC DURHAM..

[Nytemare111]

lol ill admit im only 20 and word up is the shit 

[seand67]

@Nytemare111 LOL....Thanks

[duke121291]

@Nytemare111 im 19 and you are not lying about that almost all the old school songs are shit even though i was born in the 90s lmao



[Galentw]

is that the same members?

[seand67]

@Galentw Yes, for the most part these are original members from Cameo's 'Word Up!' Era

[ardofnoise]

John Blackwell was only 24 at this time!

[projb]

@ardofnoise i just releaized that that was john blackwell

[mcflugger]

[JunebugObama]

Man, I didn't know you had these classics in your archive. I am a huge Cameo fan.

[seand67]

@JunebugObama Yeah, I have a few rare performances. Cameo is also high on my list. Especially, the REAL Cameo that had over 10 members back in the day...;~)

[MrKoolkh]

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!!!!!

[MsAdri212]

thank you soooo much for posting these!!!! I've been looking for this one!!!!! This was one that I use to watch over and over again when I was 7 years old.... broke the vhs tape too rewinding it so much, lol



[seand67]

@MsAdri212 Thanks for watching and you're more than welcome

[xenaphonj]

there comein feb 13th i will be ther roll 13 in front cant wait

[kgreene8806]

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!!!!

[seand67]

@kgreene8806 Thanks, I wish we could've seen the ENTIRE festival, as HBO edited all of the performances, most of which were at least 1 hours for each artist. Can you imagine what we missed out on ? Damn

[San47di1]

@seand67 If we write to HBO requesting they sell all prior Shows on DVD, they just might do it, especially since they own exclusive Rights to all performances. If there's enough demand, HBO might see this as a viable business venture. It's stated the reason HBO didn't continue the Shows, even though they were extremely popular is, HBO said it cost too much to secure all the entertainers. They must of had a dummy at the helm of HBO! There's always money to be made a little "ingenuity!"

[seand67]

@San47di1 You make a great point there, but I think it would be wise to also contact Sinbad (or his reps) to enlist his support.

[SiriosIX]

Brilliant entertainer! Genius. Thank you.

[ddrums001]

Great post! my favorite Sinbad Summer Jam

I think the Bar Kays and the Isley Bros. Was on this one too. But Cameo turned the damn thing OUT!! To me they will always be the kings of the Nastifunk and the Knights of the Sound Table!

[seand67]

@ddrums001 YESSIR...Thanks for watching

[PhillyGregA]

JUST NOTICED; BASS IS OUT OF TUNE(

[OzlemCraig]

What happened to Cameo? Are they still making music?

[videowatcher4006]

What is Sinbad's?

[puttnyepp1]

@videowatcher4006 , Hi there, Sinbad is a person and although I'm not sure if he still does it but every few years he goes to the Islands and put on a show with different artist and bands. He is also a comedian. Hope this helps ^_^

[puttnyepp1]

"Baby cause you effect me, fascinate me" Mmmm Luv the dance Larry was doing when he sang that part.. Whew thank goodness for rewind!!!

[SilvieinBali]

DAMN!!!!!

[divavc]

MY BOY'S THE BEST DAMN BAND....AND LARRY'S MY MAN...TOMMY TOO...LOL....SING THAT SPARKLE...

[divavc]

MY BOY'S THE BEST DAMN BAND....AND LARRY'S MY MAN...TOMMY TOO...LOL....

[prettygreeneyed1]

What a great band ! I miss music like this. Today's stuff is crap.

[4REAL1793]

WHAT IS THE SECONG SONG, WOOW??

[DPhiM2010]

@4REAL1793 Sparkle

[jbreezy024]

I remember this actual show! it seems like it was just yesterday all of the family was crowded around the TV watching the HBO special! I love it! We will never have shows like this again! Oh How Time Marches On!

[mzmel4308]

Cameo Fan for life!

[campbellde]

Man, I have watched this video at least 50 times and cannot stop watching it. LONG LIVE CAMEO. OWWWWW!!!!

[PAMAROSHOUSE]

i love the bass sound.this funk music was my favorite of the 80s,barkays,zapp,roger,ew&f,on­e way.etc....

[sarahjeanluvsmusik]

Was that Dennis Rodman in the beginning? Only kidding ha, ha

[Linelia]

I saw Cameo back in the day! One of the most sexiest groups I have ever witnessed! X-rated nastaa great brothers! Please come back Cameo!

[mek2003]

THIS VIDEO IS GREAT

[nutothis1]

All of them graduated from Juliard! (I hope I spelled it correctly).

[georgyscruggs]

I wish I could find all the Sinbad summer jams . I missed alot of them on HBO. This is real music!

[Gouken1995]

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...!

[nutothis1]

@Gouken1995 Some people may take offense because of the popularity of today's music, but it is really unfair the way bands like Cameo, the Bar-Kays, Graham Central Station....I could go on - have been replaced by what is deemed as popular today.

[raquelwashington409]

i remember watchin this with my dad when i was 9..... bring back soooooo many good memories. We taped ALL OF THE SINBAD'S 70 FUNK CONCERTS. my favorite is the Isley Brothers' "Who's That Lady"

[jportbass]

dude , everytime I go on you tube this is the first place I go. I LOVE THIS F-KING BAND. thanks dude , I saw this on HBO on SINBAD

[seand67]

@jportbass THANKS for stopping by

[nutothis1]

@jportbass My now ex-husband and I saw Cameo back a while back...Rick James was the headliner. Guess who turned it out?! I'll give you three guesses.

[jportbass]

@nutothis1 of course CAMEO but three guesses ooooohhhh mmm LARRYGRAHAM and GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION that's my only one that i can can think of.

[campbellde]

@jportbass Man, I have watched this video at least 50 times and cannot stop watching it. LONG LIVE CAMEO. OWWWWW!!!!

[LadiUneek]

I absolutely LOVE the dance they do when they start off "Candy."

[seand67]

@LadiUneek Yep, that's that TRADEMARK Cameo funk in full effect. Thanks for watching

[LadiUneek]

@seand67. You are right about that -- that's that TRADEMARK Cameo funk. Can't front though, that dance is definitely a TURN ON (especially that brother with the bald head). DAYYYYYYUM!!

[seand67]

@LadiUneek It's a cool dance..reminds me of something Morris Day did with The Time

[sixtybynine]

sexy show, the funk is the only music makes people sweat and create sex vibes. Cameo drummer keeps the funk alive. Blackwell is a monster and this band is something special into this world of fake music produced by marketing people without soul and heart. Thanks seand67 you make me feel good with this.

[seand67]

@sixtybynine Thanks, YOU are more than welcome. It is a LOT of FUNK crammed into 10 minutes, isn't it...LOL

[LAMERFENER]

amazing drummer.

[BurrBattle]

That's John Blackwell. He's an incredible drummer. Pull him up on here, he's everywhere!!!!

[seand67]

@BurrBattle Thanks, John is BANANAS. I also love Sonny Emory (formerlly of EWF)

[ljakewillis]

cant stop watching cameo. awesome!!

[seand67]

@ljakewillis I know, this is addictive. Gotta love the funk

[djkeithdasalla]

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

[seand67]

Thanks, this video is JAM packed!

[blqceaser]

you know .... you can be too damn eccentric even for the music industry. I mean these cats, Brother Larry are ultra-eccentric. Totally on another level and it's not a 'b.s.' kind of thing. some call it beyond their time. I don't think Prince even then could vibe with these cats and he certainly can't now. Worst thing that could ever happen to a musician like a Prince was to become 'civilized'. Today his music is boring and predictable. These cats never have to worry 'bout that for sure!

[seand67]

Thanks, I agree

[Deanboy2007]

That really is a brilliant version. Bass line is ridiculous! Fucking awesome. Legends.

[seand67]

Thanks for watching and posting your comments.

[supergoddamn]

This is the funkiest version of Single Life I've ever heard. Damn the bass line is simple yet funky and smokin.

[seand67]

Thanks for watching and posting your comments.

[BIGDAWGBAZEMORE]

@seand67 Greatest Funk Band of All Time!I too have all of Cameo's CD's but that live version of Candy is Nasty.Can't believe it's been 30 years since I first saw them live at Winston Salem State Homecoming 1980.They stole the show from the SOS band.

[seand67]

I also love Slave, Con Funk Shun, and many others.

[kleer45]

Tomi has a great voice.

Love Cameo!

[awwfunkme]

Cameo will be Forever Funky!! Funk will never die!!

[seand67]

Right On!

[MrJcromwell98]

Raw and uncut Funk . I have all of Cameo's Albums(Aligator Woman, Cameosis, Knights of the Sound Table, Secret Omen, Woooooooo!!!!!!!!!

[seand67]

That's what's up. Thanks for watching and posting your comments! What about 'Style', 'She's Strange', 'Single Life', 'Word Up!', 'Machismo'......

[ilovejourney1]

Is this Dr.Dre's 1st band?!

[seand67]

"Choosy Mom's Choose Jif Peanut Butter!"

[ilovejourney1]

"Trust me, I'm a Doctor."

[cdjblue52]

SEXY!!!!

[4romcal]

saw Cameo perform in Arizona last month...they were tooo funky...they still jammin

[playstatioNick]

can't belive .that was 13 years ago : ))

[seand67]

I know...amazing how time flies!

[joffyjazz]

Would have been even better except the bass was slightly out of tune on the first cut. I had this sinbad tape but lost it over the years,

[planetrokka]

Woaaahhhh, What a Performance...

1997 ...I´m speechle.... :-()

[seand67]

LOL>..It's all about The FUNK!

[ereclan]

are white ppl aloud to like cameo coz theyre too good

[madefrom9]

Lol, of course. The funk is for everybody.

[seand67]

Right on Bruh. HAPPY NEW YEAR....and NEW DECADE!

[madefrom9]

Happy New Year to you too bro.

[oklablakjak]

Im 54 and white,I have always liked FUNK!

[seand67]

Cool, thanks for watching my video and taking a few moments to comment. wish more people would!

[kayman842000]

Thats John Blackwell on the skins. COOL!!!

[526ify]

SICK! This is the best!!!

[canlqqk4me]

checkout the big dude @ 5:07 :-)

[Ziola28]

@canlqqk4me .. he was serious about it.. lmao.. had his hands on his head and everything.. thats how u do it! ;)

[drummer4christianz]

Tomi was on that night much love 2 dat cat...DFC

[seand67]

Right. I have to find Tomi's rare solo CD he released. Larry produced it, so I know it won't stray far from the Cameo flavor

[BIGDAWGBAZEMORE]

Barry Bonds half brother?

[MarkyCool67]

Thanks for uploading this great performance.

[seand67]

You're more than welcome

[catheyeluvsmusic]

I don't think that boys/men realize what wearing pants/trousers down below their rear-ends means...Excuse me for being graphic--but in prison, this is an invitation to engage in ANAL INTERCOURSE--no kidding! This is exactly what that means. Maybe if they knew that, they would stop that mess. The ironic thing is that the guys think that this is MACHO AND COOL--it's anything but!! Sheesh!!

[warrior1mac]

lol if i wasnt 2 at the time i wudda gone to this

[Odawg96]

Too bad this only focuses on their output from the latter part of the 80s. It's like they disowned the REAL HARDCORE STUFF. "Word Up" is a'ight, but give "I JUST WANT TO BE", "FLIRT", "RIGOR MORTIS", and "SHAKE YOUR PANTS!"

[ragnartheawful]

Ah, funky pop'n bass. The black people's guitar solo. I love this band. Thank you so much.

[wildsticks]

Watching this seriously made my night. Incredible band that can make you move for real. Especially knowing John Blackwell Jr. is holding down that serious pocket... on of the best drummers out there right now!! Thanks for sharing this incredible performance.

[zeljr]

Yeah he (John Blackwell) is the man!! Cameo did a live c.d "Nasty" and he plays on it..

[jamilmali1]

I love it I love it. Damn, this is when muscic was music and the lyrics were powerful. The spoke of love, break ups, getting back together, and happeness. It''s nice to hear music that don't consists of Bs and Whores, and glamorizing dope dealing. I'm not hating on any type of music, I just saying listening to oldies bring back fine memories.

[FireitupBedford]

Old School is out in full effect just saw Zapp, Midnight Star and Brick a few weeks ago in Va Beach Virginia a week later Keith Sweat was in the house. Old school will never die...

[bigrobb52]

That chic @ 9:37!!!! Wow!! Wonder what she looks like today.

[antbanks35]

I would bet she looks better now than she did then!

[rpopovski]

"Can you feel it to?"

[fiestared62]

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

[ewingkha]

I WANNA KNO CAN U FEEL IT TOO!!! jUST LIKE i DOOOOOO! WHOA!!! This is real music. I love CAMEO. They are the SH*#T!!! . When u here them u make stink face because it stink sooo good.

[dirtyzeb1]

is that john blackwall on drums

[arnoldshauling]

YESSSSS

[brnsis]

omg thanks for this vid, I wonder why they stopped coming to milwaukee I miss great music like this

[mwclark7]

Thank you guy's for addressing the "pants down" issue. This is one fad that needs to go away. I surely thought everyone would stop doing it after the true prison meaning of it and where it all came from was revealed BUT there still doing it.

Thanks for this video! Awesome stuff!

[seand67]

No problem, and hopefully this saggin pants fad will go away soon (check out my video titled 'Showin' Da Ass'). Love Cameo...Cameosis FOREVER!!

[SpotOnMusic1]

Thans for this vid !!

One of the greatest funk bands of all times !

Gay ? hahahahahaha Some people seem to be missing the point here ;-)

If this is gay I would love to be gay !!

[themightycelestial]

Goddamn, that was badd ass!

[cuerpoeperra]

Jejeje so nice!!!! Muy bueno carajo

[bajanbo]

why is it people think cameo were gay because of their outfits? back in the day that use to be in thing for the outrageous outfits look at earth wind and fire, and lots of other bands had the same taste in clothes. Itwas all about the music

[lookahere]

That's right. It was all about showmanship. They didn't walk around all day like that. If anyone should be considered gay because of what they wear, it should be these rappers like Lil Wayne with their pants down below their asses and they walk around like that all day everyday. Now that's gay. On stage with 30 other dudes with their pants around their knees too. Lol. What the heck is that? Cameo is the bomb!

[seand67]

THANK YOU for addressing those MFs with the saggin pants. Now if struttin around with your ass out isn't gay, I don't know what is.

It's a sign from prison that says 'available ass', so we know what's up with these clowns!

[lookahere]

I had to do it man. How are you gonna call one of the greatest funk bands gay because of costumes they were wearing on stage? These clowns that they loosely call "artist" today walk around with their asses out all day long with weave braided in their hair,4or5 earrings in their ear, tattoos of dudes names all over their arms and necks,long polished fingernails etc. and have the nerve to call "real" men gay?! Oh no, I had to sound off on that one. That ran me hot right there. Peace family.

[mardenhill]

absolutely. anybody dissin' cameo is dissin' himself.

nobody comes close -- best funk band ever!

and today is larry blackmon's birthday, W-O-R-D UP!

[lookahere]

That's right my friend. I couldn't have said it better myself!

[nino2lu]

JOHN BLACKWELL ON DRUMS !!!!

[bostoncommonband]

Wow... nice catch!  He looks like he's about 20 here.

[lilbanksboi]

dat niggaz a fag

[tomolongo]

And you're a cretin

[ketria9]

I wish I could find my video of this!!! I love Cameo!!

[TonyBurt10]

I wonder if he is still performing?

[scooterbeanie]

We have all 5 COMPLETE shows on DVD from Master VHS. Available. On DVD now.

Excellent audio and video.

[nosoydeladea]

john blakwell jr...

amazing drummer!!

if you want groove, call him!

[cwminnis]

Agree - He is a PHENOMENAL drummer - IN CAPS!

[LukeShoveller]

8:44, looks exactly like Ryan Parett.

[xenaphonj]

look at the man on 5:08 he is getting into to this song

[choirqueen202]

Wow. They have set the standard for all entertainers. They are amazing. You don't see stuff like this anymore.

[expresso35]

Thank-you seand67 for posting Sinbad's Summer Jam. I haven't seen this in awhile. And I'm really enjoying it all over again.

[seand67]

You're welcome, I hope to post footage from the other Summer Jams VERY SOON!

[Sangria3]

Oh da cup... da cup!!! Love this group, they make you want to get up and jam.

[xiaoxia5]

wish Nathan L. was with them on this.

[InfinityNebula]

Tomi Jenkins is singing 'Sparkle'

and doing a very good job.. this is very rare Cameo live at their peak best!

[imamarathoner]

who is singing lead on sparkle?

[GREATBAZEMORE]

Is that Barry Bonds singing lead on Sparkle?

[tubagee]

that's tomi jenkins singing , normally it would be anthony lockett singing . WHERE DID YOU GET BARRY BONDS ?

ARE YOU ON DRUGS

[GREATBAZEMORE]

I was Bullshiting crackhead
