I feel like crying....what a time to have grown up in. The 80s will never be repeated again and I mean EVER!!! Such talent, beauty, stage presence, should I go on lol. That kick ,snatch the microphone & drop into the choreography was friggin the best. Sheila E was a beast with those drum sticks. Seen her live a few times, once with Prince in London, UK. I remember dragging my teenage son at the last minute to come with me as a friend of mine dropped our, he didn’t know who she was until he Googled her on the way back from the show. He said “mum, am I allowed to swear’ as he was sooo shocked how gorgeous she was in her hey-day (she still is)! Too funny! He was also happy that as we were close to the stage she gave him a hi five and wink so that memory will always stay with him! ❤️❤️❤️

What a cool story!! I agree! The 80’s were the best!!! Prince, Appolonia, Vanity, Sheila E., they molded me!! All of these performances by these beautiful people just made me so happy. Dancing, trying to act all sexy like them (that’s when I discovered and fell in love with Victoria Secret!!!!) The big hair!! Man!! Like you said it will never be repeated!!!

@leeving2999 9 жыл бұрын

D Jones we are not blindly nostalgic were are just tired of being assaulted with really awful artists and bands . Shelia E could drum with the best of the men but due to other talents she never got a real chance to . Gina Schock also was a monster on the drums but never got to shine because of Belinda Carlisle . Schock went on to play with some of the greatest groups of all time . So nostalgia has nothing to do with people saying Meg White truly does suck , she doesn't even look like she cares and we have seen females from the 70's and 80's ( and later ) master the art of playing the drums. Sadly we got to survive The Spice Girls , Black Eyed Peas , boy bands and worse so we do miss better times . In our " nostalgia" though we can admit truths . There were horrid 80's band and Sid Vicious never could play bass even though people thought he was a God at it . He was unplugged almost every time he played and Glen Matlock recorded all the bass in ' Never Mind The Bullocks' even though he was fired . The only difference I see between Meg White and Sid is that Meg is alive . Forgive our love of Shelia , it is not nostalgia it is the fact that she plays like a boss .

Sheila E. definitely a kick-ass percussionist! Saw her live in the Purple Rain tour with Prince in 85 and I was amazed by her talent...and of course Prince! Best concert ever, and man, will he ever be missed by me and millions of others. His talent was one of a kind!

@@rjackson3784 The Time & Sheila E did open for Prince in Dallas Dec 30 & 31 1984 and Jan 1 1985. I know because I was there. The Time disbanded later in 1985. There were 2 legs to the Purple Rain Tour - Leg 1- Nov 4 1984 thru Feb 4 1985.....Leg 2-Feb 14 1985 thru April 7 1985....Perhaps Leg 2 didn't have The Time.

I was blessed to see her do this in person at the Prince concert at the Rosemont Horizon n the '80s. What a great time for music. I will never forget her performance, ever!! And Prince's of course.

Holy shit! I always thought Sheila E was just another act controlled by Prince, but she definitely stands on her own. I think I've gone back to watch that encore at least 10 times since I clicked on this video. Glad I decided to watch this because I now have a newfound respect for her.

Sheila E. got all her talent genetically. The daughter of the great Pete Escovido that's natural talent. I saw her & Prince at the old capital center in Landover md. And the lights went out and she rocked this joint for like 5straight minutes. A COLD BEAST!!! I loooove her. And watching this makes me miss Prince even more. Never ever will we see that type of talent and energy again #RIP Your purple royal majestic bad azz!
