THROWING DOWN. I enjoyed THE HELL OUT OF THIS VIDEO. Thanks for posting. Cameo is incredible to me like Prince and Rick James in the sense that they were able to make Funk songs go Pop, that shit is amazing to me. They paved the way for someone like Bruno Mars to make an Uptown Funk.
No doubt, and there were do many artists doing their own music! Like the legendary Rick James said (RIP), " never had steal a beat to eat, everybody was jamming to their own funky beat"!
@AntwhaleNearfar Funk Funk (pfunk inspired) was cool ... Although on the same album but released as singles before Funk Funk were Find my way (Crown Heights affair inspired) and Rigor Mortis (kool and the gang inspired) I think their distinct sound in party music came out with "Insane "(elements of funk funk but more of their own sound) several albums later.
RIP to John Blackwell on the drums. He was grooving on this gig and also was so amazing on so many Prince gigs. Man, this show was such a big influence on me when I was younger and the bands would put on their best shows!
@@TomiJenkins1, you did great!!! I didn't even know you sang lead. And I love your energy. You always seemed like the fun, nice one in the group!! No matter what, you were always smiling. I absolutely love you guys.
@@TomiJenkins1, I so apologize to you; I gave Larry Blackmon and Charlie Singleton the credit for all of the leads, even when I KNEW the voices sounded different from theirs, LOL!!!

Don't get me wrong I love Larry but I believe he felt the need to always be front and center because he knew Tomi was better. Maybe I'm wrong... but Tomi Jenkins you are truly one of the greatest RnB male vocalist's to ever grace the stage!!!
@@michaelmckenzie6311 I love Rick but think he got credit for his work. I think he also got a lot of mileage out of his persona. Cameo is far more underrated.. The quality of Cameo's music far surpasses Rick's. Rick just had the benefit of a larger label.
@@Rockzilla404 Don't sleep on Ricks' production for his acts as well as for others! Cameo wasn't on that level! They were good but not on Ricks' over all level! That's why he's severely underated! Cameo made joints for themselves and hey that's good enough for me!
I loved me some Cameo!!! I saw them perform twice maybe three times. But Cameo gave the best concerts!!! Back then, they would throw joints into the audience. I hate I missed catching one; lol. Back then, everyone was about having fun and being kind to one another. So no one was worried about getting shot; poisoning joints; and going to jail. All we wanted to do was party and have a good time. Two of my favorite older hits by them is "Post Mortem" and "Rigor Mortis". Post Mortem was played in the movie, "Next Friday" starring Ice Cube. "Sparkle" and "I Just Want To Be" were good hits for them. But "She's Strange" was a transition hit for them with a jazz flavor. Then "Candy" and "Single Life" came out and then "Word Up was another transition hit for them. They hung around for a number of years until now. If you want to see them, you have to catch a concert if they haven't stopped doing concerts already.
Yall remember back in the day when Cameo and the Gap Band had that shoot-out? ...me neither- back when our musicians weren't promoting the murder of OUR OWN PEOPLE.
Cameo is the ultimate funktastic political band you'll love. Larry Blackmon Tommie Jenkins Nathan Lefftinate and my boy's Aaron Mills and Charlie Singleton . that combination works perfectly. I been with you guys from the beginning. Have never disappointed me.C A M E O... Fu sho. One love My brothers
Sheer genuis! Cameo's talent is unmatched! Their style, vocal arrangement, and indescribable band is phenomenal; and, their stage presence is captivating. Thank you so much for sharing this video. The video provides a glimpse into the abundance of talent each member exudes during each performance I've seen on TH-cam. Cameo's relevancy is engrained and etched into consciousness. Cameo's music is timeless, and it will live in our hearts and mind throughout eternity. Thank you for sharing your gift of authentic music.
That was a bad ass concert! Another one was in Frisco in the winter of ‘05 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. It was indoor with the acoustics made into the design of the auditorium. It was something else!
I saw Cameo in concert a few times back in the day, and each and every time they shut it DOWN! Hit after hit after hit with high-energy dancing and unexpected theatrics. I’m so glad we can stream their music!
Absolutely! So happy to have been a part of this musical adventure...as a young dude back in da day! Whoooo the parties, concerts and ALL the beautiful memories !
I had the pleasure of seeing Cameo 2 times. The first was a free concert in Oakland Calif in 1983 they did songs from the Cameosis album their prior albums as well as the new stuff...They were on the same bill as Midnight Star who at that time owned the charts...Cameo blew them away, other than The Time the best live band I have ever seen perform hands down. Facts.... The song Shake Your Pants turned it out had all of Oakland partying.
@ Greg Harris Going to a musical concert was my most favorite thing to do back in the 70's and 80's. I saw so many groups and solo acts that I can't remember all of them. But I'll try: Cameo; Barkays; Parliament (3); Funkadelic (3); Bootsy & the Rubber Bands (3); Larry Graham & Graham Central Station; War; Mandrill; EW&F; Ramsey Lewis; Phyllis Hyman; Roy Ayers; Al Jarreau; Brothers Johnson; Natalie Cole; The Ohio Players; The Isley Brothers; Eddie Kendricks; The Ojays; Midnight Star; Marvin Gaye (one of his last concerts before he died); and a few more that don't come to mind right now. I regret never seeing Michael Jackson or Prince or Stevie Wonder. But most of these performers gave great concerts and the music sound just like or better than the recordings. The O'jays and EW&F gave exceptional concerts.
My favorite Band of all time I collected every album they released all the way back to “We all know who we are “ to “ULGY EGO” to “Alligator Woman” Best Band ever.
Cameo always gave you one helluva show! Would give anything to see them and ConFunkShun together. It wouldn't matter who opens or closes, just don't take to long changing sets. Str8 🔥
So true, back in the day always on the look out for their albums"(which sometimes were hard to get in Germany + pleasure waching them live in Hamburg ) Gettin' down on the C-Funk -word!
Being in shape is a wonderful thang. Growing up on concerts like this is why l just can't enjoy 1 man on a turntable and his partners walking back and forth hollerin'...... sorry grandbaby.
My Man, The Sound Table was and is to me one of their best unknown songs. That was as close to Jazz Funk Fusion you will ever hear. LOVE THAT NASTYYY FUNK!!!
Aaron Mills and Charlie singleton the backbone of cameo's sound, those cats were so intricate and just extremely important components there rhythm parts were always so way over the top, brother charlie guitar sound and solos very insightful and bone chilling,and brother Aaron those muscular bass lines really stood at attention that in my head definitely defined CAMEO'S music 🎵
Cameo was awesome 👏🏾 back then but now it’s different now and it’s not the same anymore but it’s still good 👍🏾 and it’s carrying the legacy of the legendary group that is Cameo!

God why don't they ever play Funk Funk or I just want to be or Rigor Mortis I would love to hear those songs live. Im so burned out on Candy, Single Life etc.
im so with you on that! Single life, candy, and Word Up are the mainstream pop hits but their best will always be their stuff from the early years..Cardiac Arrest, We All Know Who We Are, Ugly Ego, Cameosis and Feel Me. all these albums featured a full 10 piece band. i was very lucky to see them perform live as a full band one time and their stage performance was unmatched back then.
@@regvision their horn section was amazing. The early band late 70s early 80s was more versatile. Knights of The Sound Table, Feel Me, and Cameosis were my favorite albums. Is This The Way and The Sound Table are two songs that show their versatility and talent.

Was just thinking the same thing. I saw the a couple of years ago and was really hoping to hear some of the less popular tracks like We All Know Who We Are and those you mentioned.

In Spain a lot of people loves Cameo. I remember when i was a teen i was buy all the long plays. IT was very difficult because nobody knew Cameo here. I Love Cameo Forever!! Its a shame never to see them live in Spain…
Candy baby, I have no time for psychological romance... No romance, Classic. I was 4 years old and had no idea what was happening. Just loved the video.
Had a chance to see Cameo live a couple times.. believe me , that was one of the few groups that Prince didn't wanna see ! Nobody wanted Cameo opening for them !!!
I was watching this video and said, holy crap, that's John Blackwell on drums. Did a little homework and baaammm! 100% Correct! Well, RIP JB, and wow, what an eye for talent Larry so long before America got him!!! This is a hidden gem!
Mr John Blackwell keeping the groove! Amazing pocket drummer! RIP John🙏❤
Once again Cameo crown 👑America's favorite R&B funk and party Band and this video just proven they hold that title
I was there y'all 97 and 98👍
Wow...
