Such a fantastic show from Sheila and FDeluxe. FDeluxe was just as good this time around as they were back in October at Joe's Pub. Love me some Eric Leeds and they are just an amazing band all around. I really wish they had played 'Lover' in it's entirety because that's my fave song from 'Gaslight' but I was not disappointed by their set at all. As for Ms. Sheila E....YESSS! She was stellar! The woman looks absolutely amazing and still plays her ass off on those drums. The only disappointing thing that I got from the show was that once Sheila took the stage everyone stood up in front of the booths so if you're vertically challenged (like me), you would have to stand up in the booth to see her thus blocking the people standing at the bar area behind me.

That's what the tables are for babe.

If you don't want to stand on the table, just pick a random dude and climb on his back. Preferably one drinking "thigh-warmed vodka" as he wouldn't remember sh*t in the morning anyway.

"Thigh-warmed Ciroq vodka" to be more specific I will be doing that next go around. *estelle makes notes for next concert with tables in the mix*

SHEILA E. IS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!

What an amazing night! From the moment she took the stage, she had the crowd on their feet and it turned into a big ole party!

On Koo Koo, belle of st. mark, erotic city, love bizarre, a few new songs and ofcourse Glamous Life she killed it! and she started rapping too I was like yo Sheila got skillz!!!!!! She did her thang on the percussions and the drums. Man you could tell music is in her blood and she had so much energy!

AND HER BAND, they were awesome. They sounded so good, and her backup singer is da bomb! Gotta check her out!!!

I'm soooooo glad I got to see Sheila E. live. She is so beautiful and sexy, has a great spirit and is so talented. Love her!

As for FDeluxe, got to shake hands with Jellybean, they were all cool. Gaslight, Santified, Screams of Passion sound really good live. They are a good band. Susannah sounds good live, but that sex kitten act was over the top and quite uncomfortable at times and then there is her dancing . But all in all they sound really good and most of all they are incredibly personable and friendly, especially St. Paul. I'm glad I got to see them live too.

I have the hugest girl-crush on Sheila right now!

Susannah, however...

Her "dancing" was painful to watch and I agree that the sexy has escaped her.

she looked beautiful and expression through dancing as impetus... nothing wrong with that

Nothing wrong with having different opinions.

My first thought was that she stole them from P during W2A...

She wore them better than him I think...even though Prince does look adorable with sparkles.

Oooh were they the Christian Louboutin 'Daffodil' glitter pumps? I saw a photo of Beyonce wearing a pair of these to a basketball game a while back and they are fierce if they are the same shoes. I'll see if I can find a pic

Two great live acts. So glad they came to London earlier this year.

Susannah has always come across as a drunk uncle at a wedding dance-You know the embarrassing relative who has a lack of dance rhythm and tries desperately to cover up with sexy moves. (But she doesn't know that she does it.) I mean even in Prince's ALHEYH video lack of rhythm is apparent.

Not that Susannah isn't a good person people. (This isn't rain on Susannah day. Just saying.)

I totally get that...

But I also don't say I love something if I don't, because everyone else does.

I enjoyed the show very much. I met nice people, and got to see Sheila E. live. fdeluxe was part of it.

Gotcha! But that comment was meant for Susannah or uber fans of Susannah. I just wanted them to know that I wasn't poo pooing Susannah.

I was there last night. It was awesome!!!

To my purple friends I met in Minneapolis in February at the Revolution gig, I moved back to New York!

Sheila's shoes were GOLD GLitter and they were super high wedges, not pumps.

I got to get a quick pic with her afterwards.

Susannah is beautiful and sounded great.

GaryMF said:

Don't get me wrong, both shows were off the hook!!!

But from my seats, the sound seemed a bit off. I never understand sound mixing (even when I'm playing in a band!) but something seemed wrong. THe bass in particular was distorted....when Paul or Sheila's bass player took a solo it was all muddy.

ANd some of Fdeluxe's songs ..... not sure how to explain it, but the sound seemed better at the Oakland show for some reason.

Could've been where I was sitting (which was a great view).

Since the double bill was added, it seemed like they were trying to jam in as much as they could, but I was glad they did all the Family songs.

I would've liked to hear "Lover" from the new album in full too, but still it was great.

Neither did an actual "encore" which was surprising since nowadays the "encore" is a given (i.e. they alwasys do a fake walk off the set and then come back to do the signature song).

Sheila's pants were hot!!! (Sequined tights)

She is very sexual in expression

I always saw her similar to that "I'm HI and dancing" during the Hippi years

On August 29, 2012, the ever fabulous Sheila E. packed the house at BB King’s in New York. One of the zillions of highlights from the show was her performance of “The Belle of St. Mark.” Another belle of St. Mark is celebrating her birthday today, so this funk goes out to her. She knows who she is! x

Review: fDeluxe and Sheila E. at BB Kings in NYC

If you missed the fDeluxe/Sheila E. concert at BB King’s in New York on August 29, 2012, you missed out on a great funkin’ night! There are so many highlights, it’s hard to begin, but this ought to sum it up – when’s the last time you heard “Mutiny” and “Koo Koo” performed live on the same night?!

Susannah Melvoin and St. Paul of fDeluxe

fDeluxe, formerly known as The Family, have only played New York a few times in their 20+ year career, but they really know how to make up for lost time. Aside from the two instrumental tracks (“Susannah’s Pajamas” and “Yes”), fDeluxe played every track from their debut album, “The Family.” What that means in lay man’s terms is New York got to hear funky live renditions of “High Fashion,” “Mutiny,” “The Screams of Passion,” “River Run Dry,” “Desire” and “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which was sung by The Family 5 years before Sinead O’Connor recorded it.

Susannah Melvoin and Eric Leeds

While the members of fDeluxe - St. Paul Peterson, Susannah Melvoin, Jellybean Johnson and Eric Leeds – might not be household names, to their fans, including myself, these are not mere mortals, but gods whose music has made our lives better and funkier for more than 2 decades! One of the highlights of the evening for me was sax man Eric Leeds walking out on stage for the first time during “High Fashion.” The audience absolutely lost their minds! He’s played sax or flute on so many of Prince’s best loved songs from the 80s, that when he emerged, you would have thought Prince himself was making an appearance (he did not, for those wondering).

St. Paul

fDeluxe didn’t just take us on a trip down memory lane, however. The band, funky as ever, played many songs from their 2011 album “Gaslight,” including the title track, “Drummers and Healers,” “@ 8,” and their new single “You Got What You Wanted,” an Ike and Tina Turner cover. “You Got What You Wanted” has just been released on fDeluxe’s official website and a limited edition CD single is available now.

You Got What You Wanted by fDeluxe. Out Now!

To celebrate the release of the new single, fDeluxe hung around at the merch table after the show and greeted their adoring fans. It was really cute hearing super-fans gush at how their songs have been anthems to us and many people thanked them for the music.

Sheila E.

The show could have ended there and it would have been an amazing night, but fDeluxe were only warming us up for even more funk! If you’ve never seen Sheila E. perform before, you are seriously missing out. In addition to somehow finding the fountain of youth (look at her! She looks even better than she did 20 years ago!), she is one of the best performers and musicians you will EVER see. She plays intricate percussion and drum solos that she makes look effortless and no matter how many times I see her, and it’s been a lot, I have more and more respect for her talent. In addition to her new song “Leader of the Band,” and many Latin Jazz songs, Sheila E. also played many songs from her time in the Prince world.

Sheila E

Of course she played “A Love Bizarre,” and the show closer “the Glamourous Life,” but in addition she also played “Holly Rock,” “The Belle of St. Mark,” “Koo Koo,” and “Erotic City.” She had a tight and funky band, which included Eddie M. on sax. Watching people lose their cool during “Koo Koo,” which I’ve never heard live in all the times I’ve seen Sheila E., was definitely a highlight. Hopefully the love that New York showed Sheila E. and fDeluxe will be contagious and will enable them both to come back more often. Until then, we have memories from BB King’s to last us a lifetime.

Yup!!!

When we were waiting in Lucille's before the show, the hostess asked me who was playing, because she "seems good" from what she heard at soundcheck.

When I said, "Sheila E.", she just

She asked me what had she done.

I named a bunch of songs, and nothing rang a bell.

I found myself apologizing, and said, "Oh well, she was popular in the 80s"...

I finally said, "Performed with Prince".

She nodded her head and said, "Oh, cool."
