[@reallysimple7793]

One of THE MOST TALENTED AND OVERLOOKED GROUPS EVER! This group put me on the map!

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

John Blackwell was SUCH A FUNKY DRUMMER!! 🔥

[@ericreeves5893]

Yes he was! He was a beast.

[@reginalddavis7578]

JB was MAD Funky!! One of my favorite drummers! So sad he’s not with us anymore…! R.I.P

[@bufufubu]

Cameo brings the funk! I remember taping this from Sinbad's special and playing over and over. Larry Blackmon and the band jamming! 👏🤘

Bruh..been saying for 15 years how underrated Aarron Mils is....straight beast...

[@ryanspeed4671]

@@nathanrogers4018 yes awesome, he's played on quite a few hits. One come to mind is Outkast Ms. Jackson

[@angelinajenkins2853]

CAMEO, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST!

[@TheSteveSteele]

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!

[@seand67]

Sorry but Rick James wasn't the headliner. This is Cameo as part of the all star Sinbad Summer Jam Festival

[@TheSteveSteele]

@@seand67 That summer they went on tour as part of the Kool Summer Concert series. I was there.

[@BornToBeFamed]

KING KUMARI and zapp and roger

KING KUMARI Very true! They were awesome!

[@CatherinethompkinsBeautifulOne]

I did not know that, but just read Ms. Diana Ross, never received a Grammy!

[@dnate697]

100% agree!

[@Thizzfather]

Super under rated

[@MrMarkstyles]

Man these guys could FUNK OUT.... Great mix of funk, synthesizers.. incredible musicianship, crazy costumes.. really unique

[@nutothis1]

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!

[@tosha0508]

I wish i was there!!! Would’ve gladly skipped a day of high school to be there!

[@basseyroland4255]

What a performance! Nobody plays funk like this magnificent group. Check out the beats and the delivery. Absolutely mind blowing!

[@STICK999991]

Old school classic baby!!! And you better believe it!!!

[@steve4321able]

Aaron killed it! That growling bass. The way a bass should sound.

[@mmcneil777]

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...

[@seand67]

Thanks for your great comments. Real music has that effect

[@sergioparrilla4651]

[@carlbowles1808]

I remember candy in 1987 with joy ❤️. We need this tremendous talent and energy today. Today's popular performers are less than Cameo standard.

[@josephineclark5090]

Word Up My Jam Love Some Cameo

[@lyric520]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS OF ALL TIMES....COMING WITH THE FUNKNESS...AND FUNKTIFIED.....YES..........................

[@barroningram7286]

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😀

I’m 25 years old and I love Cameo wish I was born in the 80s

[@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!!!!

[@outofwhack90]

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!

[@MrNeosoul65]

I was at this concert in Aruba. I can see myself at 1:16 and 8:14

[@realjuliagray]

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!!

[@seand67]

Thanks for watching and posting a comment.

[@dman221]

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.

[@seand67]

D Man 1986 was a great year

[@user-xx5ib5ci1c]

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🎅

[@rickriddick919]

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

[@darkbluebossa]

John Blackwell, great drummer. RIP and thanks

[@johnbarron2269]

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.

[@JrsBoatRocker]

I was 13 when this concert aired on HBO. I remember watching it with my Granny and Sissy ! :) Love Cameo !

[@claudebenford5975]
