lol.

Bring your wife with you! Remember I don't think Sheila E has performed here since the Lovesexy tour...no pressure like

Yeah, I know! But in reality, I know I'm gonna be tired by the time I get off the plane and my wife will want to head homewards....Think I'm gonna have to pretend this gig aint happening! (lol). I just hope Sheila E doesn't take another 24 years to play these shores again! I'll just have to be content with CAMEO at the end of July...

SONNYT said:

Yeah? Cool....Any idea when?

Jesus, I am so there.

SONNYT said:

Ah yes, I saw that. Not many funky UK acts I can think of to support them....They should just bring Wendy & Lisa with them or maybe The Secret/Mazarati?? Really hoping Sheila E goes down a storm in July, spurring her on to book another UK date for the following year. (Fingers crossed!).

I'm going

Got tickets Yaaaaayyyy

Anybody that's seen her before do you know if she signs items afterwards like F Deluxe?

I saw here "Sheila E" band 4 times in the last 2 years She puts on the BEST SHOW!!!

Typical set list:

Open with Love Bizarre done extremely funky and jazzy, way better than the album version.

Lately she's been then doing Oliver's House in a really funky, high energy way. there used to be a cli on you tube.

Then she will probably do some songs from the E Family's new CD. "I like it" is the "Hit" and it's great live.

At some point she'll break it down and do percussion using whatever is handy, and break into a Prince song impromptu.

She MIGHT do Holly Rock.

Of course she'll end with Glamorous Life.

The last few times yes she did. They were selling the E-Family CD and if you bought it she'd sign it.

She was also selling some old tour stuff and as well. the line is VERY LONG

Cool I shall be making that line one person longer

Saw her at a private party in march. That set contained a lot of Prince songs, including Love Bizarre, Erotic City and When doves cry. She also did the poem that is in Beautiful Night (but didn't do the song). The band is tight and I really liked her guitar player (a gingerhaired young man).

Can you wear a sign saying 'ladymisskat' so that I can pick you out from the crowd this time

haha! I will probably wear my 'Glamorous Life' tour T-shirt, but failing that I will try a sign!

Where was the private party? New York? Really curious.

and she did Erotic City wtih the words? that is interesting.

She does Prince songs better than Prince IMO

At the Yoshi performance where Eddie M joined her, I saw the set list and Erotic City was on there, I don't know if it was performed though

during those shows (Brown Mark joined her for America) she did Pop Life A Love Bizarre Olivers House America Glamorous Life HollyRock

She needs to jam: 2 Sexy, Noon Rendezvous, Shortberry Strawcake, Love on a Blue Train and a few other Prince pieces

It was in St. Lucia. If you look up Bobby Sparks and St. Lucia on youtube you'll find a clip he made of his arrival there. Towards the end there is a few minutes of the end of Sheila's set (Glamorous Life).

She did Erotic City with the words, but she sang "funk".

Wow. thank you!

I always wondered how much it woudl cost to hire Sheila for a party..... like are we talkign $10K, $50K, $100K etc. Looks like she had her whole band there too.

Who is "STANLEY"..... that was the person having the party right? Stanley Clarke?
