I was there that day and she got absolutely mauled from the crowd. I wasn't really aware at the time why it was happening. She didn't finish her set and left the stage. It's hard to hear through the sound on this video but it was impossible to miss on the day.
I worked in a hostel at the time and a French student staying with us attended this concert.... he came back and asked me 'What does it mean when the crowd sings 'Cheerio Cheerio Cheerio' to someone? I could hardly explain for laughing... she's being whistled off here because she's rank.......
There is, on the stage's edge. It's said the bottles were urinated into before thrown. She did right to cut the show short and make clear she wasn't going to return to that shithole.
I was there, a few plastic bottles were thrown and some booing. it was fine up until she forced out that fake American accent.people found it a bit patronising. She wasn't vilified just because she had moved to to the USA. I did actually feel sorry for her, talented lady.
Well, anybody who thinks her performance was 'dreadful' must have serious problems and as for the 'non-Bellshill' accent-the lady had lived in California for a number of years due to being more appreciated on that side of the pond than most of the philistines here. Also, if you can condone the bottle-throwing then it's gotta be time to pack up...
First off an adult moving to America doesn’t change their accent. That’s Gerry butler bullshit. My uncles lived in the stated for decades and still talks like a normal cunt . Secondly she wasn’t exactly good no. Bland vocals at best. Thirdly I was there that night and I’ve had coshed her with ma bottle too if I was near enough
Sheena changed her accent to sound more American be accepted in the American mainstream for TV roles. She got a star role in the American TV series Miami Vice once she changed her accent and She was carefully stage managed, but Sheena ultimately sold out culturally. Its not her fault - but then again it is!
After all this time I have never watched it, expecting much worse. For one thing, I think Sheena must have been nervous as hell - that's the MOST I've ever seen her move around in dancing!!! She was literally hopping at a few points. Very cute. To be back at home doing what she left to do....so what about her accent? Just curious - what exactly were the derogatory remarks? And who did they effect? The reason I ask is because in between the two songs there's clearly a very large cheering for her..so I was just wondering. Loved the video either way - thanks for sharing.
Kenny Peters in-between the songs you can just make out " What the fucking hell is that?" Being chanted it was just behind where I was standing a bunch of young guys who took exception to her half American accent
"Pelted"? I've watched this twice and I don't see a single item thrown at the stage. But I suppose that title brings lots of clicks, right? I do hear the crowd chanting something between the two songs, but I can't make out what they're saying.
Sheena Easton is an amazingly talented Scot. The only thing I found offensive in this performance was the guitar solo in "Sugar Walls". As for her spoken accent... seriously? Let's just say the hostile people in the crowd throwing bottles at her weren't Scotland's finest.
mattonbass i was there and I threw a lightstick at her. It wasn't bottles at all. She was asking for it for speaking in that phony pseaudo American accent.
@mattonbass I’m sat here watching this thru my hands cringing as she plays to the camera knowing that she can at least salvage that part of this appearance - and then she hurtles full-speed into an utter car crash of a performance of “Sugar Walls” with the band all over the place, the guitar - as you stated in your original post - fucking awful, and her backing singers out of time AND tune. Royal Flush? 💩
I think it's probably more to do with the fact that Sheena Easton has spent her whole career away from Glasgow and in the US, and then somehow comes back - swinging a fake US accent to boot - expecting them to like her. It's not as if it's impossible to do. Billy Connoly has done the exact same thing (without a US accent) and is revered in Glasgow, but he has never forgotten where he came from. In order to become famous, she has. The fake US accent is almost disowning where she comes from. And now she comes back after being away for what, more than 30 years, expecting them to like her and they're not buying it. I wouldn't blame them, either.
And yet she's always been proud of being Scottish. People's accents change, mine has. The real story was a small group of drunk people decided to abuse a young woman. And you support this?
Good performer and great stage presence. Her live vocal is superior than many other pop stars and she can deliver a good power ballad. I really like her.
Why did Scots make such a stink about this? She lived in the U.S. for quite a while! Anyone who is exposed to a different language/culture for any extended period is going to pick up some of it by default. She didn't force away her native tongue; she didn't abandon her heritage! She let her music take her places, and humbly returned home. Bullying her about her accent is both moronic and arrogant! The music matters; not the accent she lost over time. I appreciate you, Ms. Sheena. -vixenrevitup
vixenrevitup she blanked Scotland, plus if I put you in France for a couple years then put you back then your accent would be the same but you would speak more French, your accent doesn't change that fast...
Within a few weeks -A FEW WEEKS - not months! - of moving to America she spoke with a really,really strong American accent.Bowie didn't.Connery didn't.Yet she has.She is a stuck-up fake.Thank god for the volume control!
@@rowen3648 Go listen to a Sean Connery interview before he became James Bond, it's more like English than anything Scottish. I think it's you that's stuck up, just in reverse to what you think it is. To be so insular and insecure about this is pathetic.

Why do Scots resent the success of homegrown talent who have made it in the US? She knows how to perform, how to work a stage. Prince certainly rated her talent. That’s good enough for me.
I don't think they did. What they do object to though (and I don't think it matters where you come from) is to spend your whole working life away from your home city to become famous, and then come back expecting them to like you, when you're swinging a fake US accent at them. It's just patronising. And it's not as if it's impossible to pull off. Billy Connolly did it and he is revered in Glasgow. Perhaps it's something to do with the fact that he never forget where he comes from - and she has.
People in Glasgow get nostalgic over the days when they all lived in slums, bathed once a week in a metal tub in front of a coal fire and shared communal toilets with multiple other families. The thought of someone leaving all of that behind and embracing a different culture at a young age is incomprehensible to many of them.
Sloppy seconds? Looking her nose down? She was above the audience and on stage how the heck else was she supposed to look at them? It appears to me she simply was a local who made good and the locals were jealous and couldn't handle it. The same level of intellect that turns soccer matches into death matches. Ridiculous. Save yourselves and grow up.
Galaswegians are exactly that. They're still fighting over Ireland and 1690 at the Old Firm football match. Scotlands embarrasment. Small minded, bigoted hypocrites.
was she getting booed? i didnt hear it. Yes, her accent morphed into a strange MidAtlantic twist. Thats what happenes when you live in a foreign country for a prolonged period of time. Geesh, I wonder if Cary Grant ever got booed when he returned to England...
Sheena changed her accent to sound more American be accepted in the American mainstream for TV roles.

The greatest musical legend out of Skotland! She ruled the airways, music charts, award shows, TV specials, fashion trends, in depth songs and song writing. Also a brilliant actress, the like we will never see again. Susan Boyle is the only other export that Skotland has produced that amounts to anything worthwhile. Sheena is da diva baby!
So what if she wants to work over here and live over here.This is where the money and opportunity is at.Most foreign acts and artists live over here and make more money here than they would in their homeland..Good for her...
The rot in popular culture started before this, in the early 80's I would think. Not from her though, she was a carrier. However that is a funky song that Prince gave to her; shallow. thin and empty
I was there,,,,wet wet wet played george square ,,then we moved onto prices palace there was a wee gig there,,then the big one at night Glasow green,,i was only 11 years old right out ma tits on acid,,,,great day
SOUNDS like lots of people enjoyed it! IF bottles were thrown - always gonna be a few t***ers in a big crowd and I bet they threw stuff at "cool" bands too lol
Compared to tons of acts nowadays Sheena sounds amazing live. I've heard her in person twice and she's one of those rare performers who sound BETTER live than on recordings. Are there any Scots out there who still like her and were appalled by what was done to her? I'm Mexican-american and it reminds me of how many Mexicans resent and hate Salma Hayek although she's the only Mexican actress ever to have been nominated for an Oscar for best actress.
Te equivocas paisano , Salma se olvidó de México se la pasa ente California y París . Y también han sido nominadas al Oscar Katty jurado , Adriana Barraza , Lupita Nyong'o y Marina de Tavira , así como Yalitzia Aparicio..
@@feoyjodido1372This is an interesting response. What if she was abused or treated badly, and that’s why she distanced herself? I think it’s unfair to place the burden of an entire country on someone’s shoulders. My sister was born in another country. Her mother was abusive and the family treated her poorly. If she became famous, it would be ridiculous to accuse her of “abandoning” her country when the truth is, my father likely saved her from prostitution or being trafficked. And finally, I left my hometown because it was boring af… doesn’t mean I have personal issues with anyone there, or abandoned those left behind, lol.
Sadly many Sc ots have chips on both shoulders, half of Glasgow are still fighting about what happened in Ireland in 1690, the rest of us have to put up with their bigotry and small mindedness.
She lost her Bellshill accent in 10 years, Aye, nae bother... that's why we started booing her... you keep her america 🇺🇸... plus her music was shite anyway...
Sheena changed her accent to sound more American be accepted in the American mainstream for TV roles.

You are absolutely right, mate. I was quoting that other user's stupid statement about Sheena Easton being the biggest thing from Scotland and listing everything I could think of that was bigger. Missed out football cos I wanted to pick things an american would have heard of, and "football" to them means rugby for Jessies! :D
She turned her back on Scotland, not the other way around. And "Sheena Easton is the biggest thing to ever come out of Scotland"!? Haha! Billy Connolly? Sean Connery? Ewan MacGregor? Eurythmics? Franz Ferdinand? Gerard Butler? James MacAvoy? Andy Murray? J.K. Rowling? David Tennant? Golf? Television? Antibiotics? Radar? And just this year the world's first working tractor beam. We won't be using it on Sheena, though.
What I can't understand is why the guitarist played a solo off key throughout. What I want to congratulate Sheena on is leaving Scotland. She deserved not to be stuck there and instead make it in a much more open-minded place.
Ally McCoist? He's fae Bellshill too... Okay, I won't go too Gers on this yin, I'll keep my heart out of it, so... how about Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness at least? Back in the '60s it was Dennis Law... and what about Alex Ferguson? Ah, aye, he's a bluenose too... :-p Well, apart from football (I can't help it, I'm 'too blue'), what about Simple Minds? Nae mention of all our gigantic philosophers and inventors? Would Conan Doyle suit for ye? ;-) WE'RE GIGANTIC, LAD! PROUD TAE BE!!!
If you get down to it, many things were not invented by one country. Television is widely credited as being a Scottish invention as is the telephone, however both amongst many inventions in the world aare disputed for obvious reasons.
The level of disrespect of people from Glasgow Scotland for Sheena Easton during this is disheartening and actually makes it one of the least desirable places to visit now and as a fan of Sheena, I would have previously listed it as one of the top places that I would have wanted to travel to and visit.
Gerrard Kelly the channel 4 host quipped to try and warn the early crowd up "what do we think of Margaret Thatcher" (the then PM of the whole of the UK 🇬🇧 As no one else responded, I had a bash and shouted out "she's a very good PM " @ least, that's what I am claiming.
My opinion of what people think of Sheena's diluted Scottish accent? Same as what Angus MacRory had said to Bugs Bunny after our long-eared friend asked him for directions to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California: "THERE ARE NO LA BREA TAR PITS IN SCOTLAND!"
I was at this. And i confess, i was one of those who pelted her with the light sticks we were given free. It started as soon as she came on the stage, it probably got cut on tv, but the pelting definitely took place. I hit her on the ankle, but i watched many missiles hit her on the head and elsewhere. This was a brilliant gig, free and they should have kept on doing this one. Good memories of my lightstick abuse of Sheen EASTON;d
+Colshy TheComedian I'm just curious...help me understand why you all did that. I know it was a million years ago and you were young, but take me back to what the mad frenzy was about.
simple- Glaswegians hate Sheen Easton for speaking in a fake American accent. They feel it's put on. So, when she came on stage and spoke in it, she got what was coming. I'm not condoning it now, it's childish, but there were a lot of missiles thrown at her that day. A LOT more than you actually see on this video. A lot of Glaswegians didn't take kindly to the way she appeared to 'drop' her own Bellshill accent and adopt this Pseudo American accent so quickly. The crowd at one point, 05:45 can even be faintly heard chanting "who the fucking hell are you?" which in Glasgow means, Who do you think you are? Your not any better than us!
J.K Rowling was born in Gloucestershire, England. Radar was not invented by one country; multiple nations worked on the idea at the same time. The same goes for television. I can't believe you missed out the telephone though...
She deserved to be treated with respect like the prodigal son was treated with respect in the Bible. But instead, she got treated as a pariah by her own people who she thought loved her. It was this moment that showcased that she would instead become an American citizen as America loved her from the beginning and would continue to do so, regardless of what happened to her career.
Shes garbage they songs were brutal man but a was there up the front 15 yrs old fulla TL n Acid waiting for adamski to come on which never happened and a can assure anyone that she never got pelted way any bottles 💯
It's not a matter of being "open minded"... It's where you're from, or "posing": if you stick to who you are it's always better. I might be thick, but I can't take all those Scots who describe themselves as "Irish", when their accent is the broadest Glaswegian you might meet. It's NAW matter of sectarianism AT ALL, it's WHERE YOU'RE FROM. It's who you really are, not who you pretend to be.
Ben Choochter Residents (the Worzels 🎶, mental wee nieces, and they liked an e and a rave) Made the 1,000 km boat ⛴ ride to Glasgow to see Adamski, they weren't too chuffed, I can tell you Startined a mental heedcase band You should here them.. 🎶
was she a spice girl? they do the same basic, non-descript moves. lots of strutting and very little by the way of dancing. should've took some chances to make it a memorable performance--even though some rude ppl threw shit at the stage.

Listen to the crowd! They’re chanting not applauding!
I remember this felt sorry for her i was there

Aye nae bother!
you spelled scotland wrong
So what if she wants to work over here and live over here.This is where the money and opportunity is at.Most foreign acts and artists live over here and make more money here than they would in their homeland..Good for her...
consider how many non USA singers sing with an American accent, tons of them. no big deal.
… they don’t speak with the accent, though.
Especially country singers like Keith Urban, who was originally from New Zealand and moved to Australia as a boy.
The second song was crap. Why would she play at least one UK hit for the crowd??

Where's MY MACHINE GUN?????? NO ONE THROWS SHIT AT MY SHEENA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Save the hate for Madonna,Rhianna or Beyoncé....

Sadly many Sc ots have chips on both shoulders, half of Glasgow are still fighting about what happened in Ireland in 1690, the rest of us have to put up with their bigotry and small mindedness.
She lost her Bellshill accent in 10 years, Aye, nae bother... that's why we started booing her... you keep her america 🇺🇸... plus her music was shite anyway...
Sheena changed her accent to sound more American be accepted in the American mainstream for TV roles.
She got a star role in the American TV series Miami Vice once she changed her accent and She was carefully stage managed, but Sheena ultimately sold out culturally.
Its not her fault - but then again it is!
Patronising
@@shaunigothictv1003 You're very good at copy-and-paste, lol.
She should have sung her early hits, most people hadn't heard her USA songs that day.
They hadn’t heard the songs she made with BLACK artist’s lol call a spade a spade
Hardly anyone made IT back to the SPA COACH I was on left with a panic strucken driver
You are absolutely right, mate. I was quoting that other user's stupid statement about Sheena Easton being the biggest thing from Scotland and listing everything I could think of that was bigger. Missed out football cos I wanted to pick things an american would have heard of, and "football" to them means rugby for Jessies! :D
She's Great
Aye Right!!
She turned her back on Scotland, not the other way around. And "Sheena Easton is the biggest thing to ever come out of Scotland"!? Haha! Billy Connolly? Sean Connery? Ewan MacGregor? Eurythmics? Franz Ferdinand? Gerard Butler? James MacAvoy? Andy Murray? J.K. Rowling? David Tennant? Golf? Television? Antibiotics? Radar? And just this year the world's first working tractor beam. We won't be using it on Sheena, though.
Wth... she was very tented...always loved her...dont see what the problem was....the sound men weren't doing the best job

That was good
We thought it was..
What I can't understand is why the guitarist played a solo off key throughout. What I want to congratulate Sheena on is leaving Scotland. She deserved not to be stuck there and instead make it in a much more open-minded place.
😂
The US? Much more open-minded?
😂🤣😂
That’s hilarious.
@@Lorrico14 Aye, Scots are so open-minded, they believe men can be women! ;)
Sheena Easton Never got pelted

Okay, I won't go too Gers on this yin, I'll keep my heart out of it, so... how about Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness at least? Back in the '60s it was Dennis Law... and what about Alex Ferguson? Ah, aye, he's a bluenose too... :-p
Well, apart from football (I can't help it, I'm 'too blue'), what about Simple Minds? Nae mention of all our gigantic philosophers and inventors? Would Conan Doyle suit for ye? ;-)

If you get down to it, many things were not invented by one country. Television is widely credited as being a Scottish invention as is the telephone, however both amongst many inventions in the world aare disputed for obvious reasons.
I was there, the bottles of piss was epic!
Can't see any of them in this video.
The level of disrespect of people from Glasgow Scotland for Sheena Easton during this is disheartening and actually makes it one of the least desirable places to visit now and as a fan of Sheena, I would have previously listed it as one of the top places that I would have wanted to travel to and visit.
She abandoned Glasgow. She moved to America, LA. I understand her living where she wants but she even abounded her virtually her whole accent
No worries. After this concert she flew to Philly to meet me for a few drinks. Ty
@@andrewpotok2661Did she aye??
I smell pish !
Oh Sheena had plenty of talent, she just has no business in Scotland anymore.
Gerrard Kelly the channel 4 host quipped to try and warn the early crowd up
"what do we think of Margaret Thatcher" (the then PM of the whole of the UK 🇬🇧
As no one else responded, I had a bash and shouted out
"she's a very good PM "
@ least, that's what I am claiming.
My opinion of what people think of Sheena's diluted Scottish accent? Same as what Angus MacRory had said to Bugs Bunny after our long-eared friend asked him for directions to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California: "THERE ARE NO LA BREA TAR PITS IN SCOTLAND!"
Who needs crappy old Scotland when you can make it big in the United States. We welcome Sheena with open arms!
@Heatstorm1 June 1990.
Who cares with a figure like that? All the jocks 20 stone on deep fried Mars bars and whisky.
Ah yes, the Britain isle inhabitants and their unsane obsession with accents. Nothing new under the sun
pish to the Nth degree
I was at this. And i confess, i was one of those who pelted her with the light sticks we were given free. It started as soon as she came on the stage, it probably got cut on tv, but the pelting definitely took place. I hit her on the ankle, but i watched many missiles hit her on the head and elsewhere. This was a brilliant gig, free and they should have kept on doing this one. Good memories of my lightstick abuse of Sheen EASTON;d
Colshy TheComedian HOW MATURE OF YOU
Colshy TheComedian why do some people use aggression to make a point :-(
+Colshy TheComedian I'm just curious...help me understand why you all did that.
I know it was a million years ago and you were young, but take me back to what the mad frenzy was about.
simple- Glaswegians hate Sheen Easton for speaking in a fake American accent. They feel it's put on. So, when she came on stage and spoke in it, she got what was coming. I'm not condoning it now, it's childish, but there were a lot of missiles thrown at her that day. A LOT more than you actually see on this video. A lot of Glaswegians didn't take kindly to the way she appeared to 'drop' her own Bellshill accent and adopt this Pseudo American accent so quickly. The crowd at one point, 05:45 can even be faintly heard chanting "who the fucking hell are you?" which in Glasgow means, Who do you think you are? Your not any better than us!
+MrHumanistic maybe 'some people' are correct in their assumptions

J.K Rowling was born in Gloucestershire, England. Radar was not invented by one country; multiple nations worked on the idea at the same time. The same goes for television.
I can't believe you missed out the telephone though...
Sheena Easton deserved alot better then ahe got from her own people. Thats okay, we will adopt her permanently in the USA
She deserved to be treated with respect like the prodigal son was treated with respect in the Bible. But instead, she got treated as a pariah by her own people who she thought loved her.
It was this moment that showcased that she would instead become an American citizen as America loved her from the beginning and would continue to do so, regardless of what happened to her career.
You’re welcome to her. Utter fud
Hush.
Shes garbage they songs were brutal man but a was there up the front 15 yrs old fulla TL n Acid waiting for adamski to come on which never happened and a can assure anyone that she never got pelted way any bottles 💯
I can't see much wrong with her accent. David Tennant's is worse.
It's not a matter of being "open minded"...
It's where you're from, or "posing": if you stick to who you are it's always better.
I might be thick, but I can't take all those Scots who describe themselves as "Irish", when their accent is the broadest Glaswegian you might meet.
It's NAW matter of sectarianism AT ALL, it's WHERE YOU'RE FROM. It's who you really are, not who you pretend to be.

The Big Day 1990. One lot of pish. Embarrassing.
was she a spice girl? they do the same basic, non-descript moves. lots of strutting and very little by the way of dancing. should've took some chances to make it a memorable performance--even though some rude ppl threw shit at the stage.
I didnt know they managed to drink bottled water by 1990 people were still drinking out of taps or wells.
