Too Shy is one of the first Mp3s I ever got.  I play that one all the time!!  If it's possible to wear out a digital copy song, I just might.  Great bass line.  I heard Duran Duran's  John Taylor (cue the swooning) taught the Kajagoogoo bass player how to slaaay-up da daaayuss, mon* for that one.

Overkill is a great song.  

* I think you'll all agree the set could've used some Rush, though.

Kajagoogoo

What a great Halloween costume this would have been/could be!

Funny that they played 2 Gibb Bros compos in the same set.  And the Moving Pictures song is one of those singles that charted twice ('83 and again '89)
