TP 2 - Dla młodzieży: recital zespolu Kajagoogoo.
Backing singers: Annie McCaig and Debi Doss.

The program "Dla młodzieży: recital zespołu KajaGooGoo" (translation: "For youth: recital of the band KajaGooGoo") was broadcast on 31 December 1984 at 16h 40m on the state TV channel TP2. It was recorded on 04 September 1984 (and that is the main date displayed in the title) in TP (Telewizja Polska) branch in Krakow.
Poland was at the time behind "the iron curtain" - communist dictatorship country. Despite that KajaGooGoo managed to do there a proper tour in August and September of 1984, with 12 live concerts in different towns, as a part of "Island Tour" (please refer to community post for more info).

Comments:
1. Some of you may be interested of clothes that Kajagoogoo has on this video. Nick Beggs commented on it in an interview for German youth magazine BRAVO, no 39, 20/09/1984, pages: 54 - 55: "When I was in Japan, I met Japanese fashion designer Satoh (Kohshin Satoh). He designed some silk suits for me and gave them to me. I prefer to wear a red one."
2. The whole performance is lip-synch for some reason. That is probably why all the songs were from the "Islands" album, none from "White Feathers" (as opposed to live performances). "White Feathers" had the main vocal recorded by Limahl, so obviously Nick couldn't lip-synch anything from the first album. Why lips-synch not live? No idea, but my bet would be: expectations of the broadcaster (not to mix with technical possibilities - those ones TV studios certainly had in the '80s).
3. The whole footage is slightly trimmed - around 2 minutes (50 seconds of last song "The Lion's Mouth" and the rest are closing titles). I was kind of forced to do it, as YT kept blocking for some reason the full version. When I trimmed it 2 minutes the problem disappeared, so here we go.

If you have any recordings of Limahl or KajaGooGoo from years 1982 - 2006 and it is not on my channel please contact me.
