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.
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...
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!
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🎅
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
16 years old junior in high school my girlfriend was pregnant with my first kid and this was my favorite song my son's 32 years old today and he likes this song as well just as much as his dad
Great sounds New York city players Thank you Mr.Larry 😊🙏😀 Master Genuis mind Music 🎶🎵🪕🎼💿🎸🎶🎵🪕🎼💿🎸🎶🎵 ⚫◼⬛♟▪✒Blackmon And Cameo sounds always Asome Band. In Caribbean Island 🏝😍
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...
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!!!
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😀
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!!!!!
Cameo live concert and soul train forever performance brilliantly voice and blessing favorite hits after hits carribean island Sinbad host and comedian give Best of best hot hits classic songs 1997.larry mastermind Blackmon.
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.
thank you so much for posting this!! i taped this back in 97 and used to watch it all the time but i lost the tape in a move :( i hope you post more vids and once again thank you!! mike
Glad you enjoyed the video. Hmmm...IT IS time for a 30th anniversary joint by Cameo! Damn time flies. Wish I knew where they were, and yeah Larry should've done a solo joint by now!
Thanks for posting Sean. Great performance but I'll never forgive Cameo for their 1987 performance at Radio City Music Hall. Every song they did was sped up, no encore and the house lights came up after 45 minutes!
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!
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
That sucks.... that was one of my favorite videos that you posted, no wonder I couldn't find it anymore. Thanks for the other videos though, I remember all of Sinbad's summer jams and I loved when he did them. Great music!!!!

One of the greatest funk bands of all time!
Old school classic baby!!! And you better believe it!!!
My brothers rocking the house 24/7, Funk City, USA!! MUSIC4LIFE .....BROTHERS4LIFE!!
Cameo brings the funk! I remember taping this from Sinbad's special and playing over and over. Larry Blackmon and the band jamming! 👏🤘
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.

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
I was there when they came to H-TOWN!
One of THE MOST TALENTED AND OVERLOOKED GROUPS EVER! This group put me on the map!
SIMPLY LEGENDARY!!! CAMEOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
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
John Blackwell Jr. on Drums and Aaron Mills on Bass!!!!
CAMEO, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST!
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
When true funk, r and b, rock and musicianship meets...CAMEO
I wish i was there!!! Would’ve gladly skipped a day of high school to be there!
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.

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.
What a performance! Nobody plays funk like this magnificent group. Check out the beats and the delivery. Absolutely mind blowing!
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
ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS OF ALL TIMES....COMING WITH THE FUNKNESS...AND FUNKTIFIED.....YES..........................
ONE OF THE GREATEST FUNK BANDS OF ALL TIME.
Instablaster...
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!
RIP JOHN BLACKWELL, THE FUNKIEST DRUMMER... 💜
💜
Man these guys could FUNK OUT.... Great mix of funk, synthesizers.. incredible musicianship, crazy costumes.. really unique
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
Aaron killed it! That growling bass. The way a bass should sound.
2020, This is why Cameo is the baddest funk band
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
Thank you for posting. Larry Blackmon was one of my favorites. He's still fine, too.
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
Word Up My Jam Love Some Cameo

U right B i was my teen's 👍🏾

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.
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.
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!!!!!
RIH John. You were one of the greats!
good role models & good music, miss those days.

Brilliant entertainer! Genius. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Hmmm...IT IS time for a 30th anniversary joint by Cameo! Damn time flies. Wish I knew where they were, and yeah Larry should've done a solo joint by now!

Tomi has a great voice.
Love Cameo!
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.
Thanks for posting Sean. Great performance but I'll never forgive Cameo for their 1987 performance at Radio City Music Hall. Every song they did was sped up, no encore and the house lights came up after 45 minutes!
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!
First time over 20 years to see anything related to Cameo
Thanks, this video is JAM packed!
Good music right there. Live band, good singing...it gets no better than that
"Sparkle" yes!
Loved Sinbad's summer jams. I saw Cameo live and had a ball. "It's like Candaaaaay!'"
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
That sucks.... that was one of my favorite videos that you posted, no wonder I couldn't find it anymore. Thanks for the other videos though, I remember all of Sinbad's summer jams and I loved when he did them. Great music!!!!
They were great. And just to think, I saw them ~15 years before this concert and they sounded just as good!
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...!
Woah! Not MY Cameo Live!? Im old I havent ever seen the people I listened to on cassette in my car for years.

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