Formule 1 (Formel Eins) was a very popular music TV series in Germany. Dutch version of the series started on 31 October 1984 and run until end of 80s on channel TROS. Formule 1 in Concert were the special, concert episodes. Each episode came from a different location in the Netherlands and show parts of a concerts with such a pop-stars as Bronski Beat, Tina Turner or Howard Jones. This one was filmed in Maaspoort (indoor sport arena) in the city Den Bosch. It was a part of KajaGooGoo Islands Tour 1984.
Comments: very special recording - fully live and in excellent quality. Next to London Hammersmith Odeon concert in 1983 another powerful example of live KajaGooGoo capabilities. It is not entirely full concert - not sure, but probably around 3/4.

Thankfully the world and Nick concluded that Nick Beggs without a bass is an unforgivable waste.
No one loves Limahl more than me, BUT I ALSO love Kaja without him. Nick is different but I like his voice too. Islands is amazing!
Limahl solo stuff actually good and very worth to discovered. And I also love a lot Kajagoogoo in Nick Beggs lead vocal era :)
@@kidwaryodproductiononly for love my favourite Limahl song
@@KittyCatFurbabiesMaria1972 For me my fav Limahl song is "Love In Your Eyes" I'm also a fan of Giuseppe Solera (Dino Solera) who plays a sax solo in this song :)
You got that right !!
I can't believe nobody said anything about John Read's incredible job taking on Nick's bass parts, most of them were very technically demanding. As a long time Nick's playing fan, I'm very impressed
@and321nowDifferent funk styles. Like comparing Louis Johnson & Bernard Edwards. Both are great, just different. Music is better if you don't make it a contest. Nick got into Chapman Stick, Fretless and prog area Mark didn't. I'm a MK fan, no a dig at him. Nick's also been voted best bassist in multiple bass / prog mags.
@and321now Yes, Nick is a better and more versatile bass player.
@and321now No they aren’t.
True, but Too Shy without Nick playing, a shame and a crime!
@@adc2327 Yeah it’s sad watching them without Limahl. I’m not even a huge fan of Limahl’s voice necessarily but Nick couldn’t play the entire bass part and sing lead at the same time. So even when he was still handling the bass duties we were kind of cheated. To me Nick was the star musician in the band. The keyboard player was next for the cool sounds he was getting from his synths. Nice job on guitar with the e-bow in this. All of them were good. It was just sad seeing Nick singing the songs sung by Limahl after he was kicked out and expecting the crowd to react the same way.
Nick Beggs being onstage without a bass or a Chapman Stick in his hands is wild to me.
Saw them in 1983 then again in 2000s when they all got back together, met them all both times, lovely guys, i had an enormous crush on Jez, the drummer in 80s which my husband kindly informed him of when we met them in 2000s 😮
Stuart Neale was/is such an under-appreciated keyboardist.
Nick still one of the best Bass players, since that era.
This footage was amazing! What a charismatic frontman he was! He also sounded amazing. Loved how Turn Your Back sounded with his chapman stick playing. So danceable!
I loved Turn Your Back, too. Nick sounded great on that one. Also, when he plays the stick or base magic happens.
Charismatic would be Limahl
Nick has always been my favourite. I still appreciate all the band members and how talented they are. Not all are in the music industry any more. Thanks for sharing this footage from a long time Kajagoogoo fan.
@@prezakid9 Both are charismatic but in different style 🙂. Love both of them.
@@tashaimpressions As I remember Nick still making music as sideman and his own / collaboration project. Limahl also still performing live and I love his live performance of "Too Much Trouble" and " Love In Your Eyes" very cute and underrated songs.
I miss Kajagoogoo, thankfully we have videos like this to remind us of what a great band they were.
Isn't this so cool? I'm blown away by Nick's contributions with Tangerine Dream and progressive rock with recent Fish on Friday. Have you heard his daughters' music? The Beggs Sisters (w/Nick) are great. He's a lovely approachable gentleman.
@@peterbellwood5412 Yes, also love Nick with the mute gods, especially the song night school for idiots. And once again voted no.1 bassist by prog rock magazine. Not only that, he's mad as a box of frogs, some of the things he does are hilarious.
@@PlasticGirl65 Ikr. The Mute Gods with Alex Lifeson as guest guitarist😲!
Have you seen his responses to 'cold callers'? "Yes I do! But I feel happy now. Because you care about me. I love you." The one where he's sitting with his bass waiting for the intro to Steven Wilson. Does his nails😂, devours a cake, reads a book, then BAM right on cue!
@@peterbellwood5412 No, must check it out.
2 tygodnie wcześniej zagrali dwa koncerty w Warszawie w Hali Gwardii. Wyglądało to identycznie jak na załączonym filmie, a wiem to bo tam byłem. To były czasy!
Fun Fact : Limahl later record "Big Apple" "Lion's Mouth" "Turn Your Back On Me" and even "Shouldn't Do That" in his "The Best of Limahl" and some of budget greatest hits that featured his music.
Nick Beggs on the Chapman Stick, utterly amazing. Many thanks for posting this. I was a fan back in the day. Still am.
I went to see this tour as a kid, I did not know that they kicked out Limahl.... I waited the whole concert for him.... I relive it hard to this day.
But the worst fact is that Beggs doesn't play bass but tries to replace Limahl - instead of playing His Instrument and replacing that Teenie Magnet anyway... it's a never ending story
@@wolfgangdr.dahlke8510 Absolutely, they have changed practically nothing, moreover, they acted as if the world was going to end in a few months and people did not grow up in the meantime. They still have fans to this day, and I don't think they are teenagers, and on top of that, young children these days also like Kajagoogoo.
@@Plrang one hit wonders
@@user-jr7sf7zj2m ? lol
Great performance, Nick is a great front man. The only sacrifice is his having given up his bass playing for this version of Kajagoogoo .
Gotta love the gun belt.
Nick has a very special and unique voice....great stage presence he is not less than Limah
Whatever Steve did in that guitar solo for lions mouth is absolutely AMAZING
Nick ti Amo da sempre
Nick the best vocal and bass
1983年に彼らを知り洋楽好きになりました。そして今初めてこのライブを拝見しました 本当にありがとうございます
5 was a great number, limahl was the key that unlocked their incredible synergy. What a great shame they were too immature to realise it. All extremely talented musicians. Nick in this concert is just flailing - he is very talented but does not have charisma, nor a captivating tone to his voice. His energy is hyper and brittle. I always wondered why kaja disappeared like a puff of smoke, limahl was the one I remembered out of them all and could not understand why they suddenly vanished, way back in the day.
Nick is playing with Howard Jones tonight in NY.. 2022
Love them both two beautiful man! wish I good have seen that
Sooo underated band... Tears in my eyes everyday when i watch them, cause they dont exist anymore as band.... My favourite band, Nick is my favourite bassist. Because of him and my father i became bassist. Great performance and great voice by him. . But who is that bassist playing on this live? And of course thanks for uploading all of this for our hearts.
Bassist in this footage is John Read.
Boy can sing.. 😎 Brilliant, love this..
Fab video! I always liked Nick's voice better and Islands is a brilliant album.
嬉しい!嬉しい!嬉しい!嬉しい!
アップロードしてくれてありがとう!
Ja też chociaż troszkę szczęśliwszy
what an excellent video!
Ein Sonnenscheinchen der Nick, immer am strahlen. Ohne limahl ging es auch.
Übrigens ist er auch underrated Bass Player. Sehr schade weil er wirklich großartig ist.
Loved the Big Apple video!
It was actually Nick Beggs that formed Kajagoogoo! He then asked Limahl to join the group and after 3 albums legal fighting by Limahl made the band get rid of him. It left Beggs and the band with only one option, to front one of there own as lead vocalist. They made an attempt at rejoining after VH1 Band Reunited 2004 got them back together. After remastering their old singles and a flopped new single Limahl made it impossible for the band to carry on with pushing more legal issues and that was it!
Just thought id tell you the REAL story.😊
They got rid of Limahl because they wanted to get rid of their teeny bop image and be taken like duran duran. lmao How did that work out?
@davidswain5687 Correct. Managers and legal wranglings😬
I've been a Kajagoogoo fan since 1986 and had the White Feathers tour video, but a;ways wished to see video footage from the Islands Tour. I've got a live cd from the tour in Tokyo.
36 years later I finally get to see video footage from the Islands tour, I'm so happy to see this!!
who's on bass?
@Guy Mowbray it's John Read. I don't know if Nick played bass on some of the tour or if it was all done by John
Stuart Neale excelente tecladista....👏👏👏👏👏

Лучшие
Ooh, yeah, always wanted to see live from "islands" era!
One of the best song
whitch one is the best song?
I don't understand why they got rid of Limahl. They stated in the past it was because of his image which seemed to appeal to the 'teeny-bop' music and they wanted to get away from that look. So imagine my surprise when I see Nick, here with his hair like Limahl and makeup . Did he always want to be the front man and wanted Limahl out of the way?
Pretty sure their manager fired him, and because the band started to fail commercially as a result, so I imagine Nick is trying to revive that image in an attempt to return the band to how it was, but it ultimately failed.
Nick is a good singer, and personally, I think they should have split the vocals while Limahl was with them.
@@kajafreur527True about that manager thing. Without Limahl they made what I consider their best album, one of my favorite ever by anyone "Islands". It has Jazz Funk Fusion aspects that wouldn't suit Limahl so well. As much as it was a commercial decline, it was quality over quantity /sales. Such a great album, well worth it.
@@markdown01 I completely agree. Islands is my favorite album too.
However, I feel like an album that had a kind of cycle, one song sung by Nick, then the next by Limahl, etc., possibly with some duets thrown in, and some interludes to appreciate their fantastic musical ability, would've been their best move. They both have fantastic voices, but each encapsulate completely different moods and I think they'd just need to find the right balance.
I also think that they should've stuck with the name "Art Nouveau", as Kajagoogoo, while it was certainly attention grabbing, was a pretty crap name, it made them look like they weren't serious and silly, so people kind of just laughed it off without actually appreciating to the quality of the music. If they'd stuck with the original name, they would've probably been taken a hell of a lot more seriously, and they'd have been appreciated more by audiences.
Nick has said that the pre-existing core of the band (himself, Stuart and Steve) wanted the band's music and image to mature with the audience on the model of Duran Duran, which changed quite significantly in style between their s/t debut and Rio. Where Limahl would have taken the follow-up album was clear from his solo release 'Don't Suppose', a frankly more Euro sounding approach that ditched a lot of the quirks of the British new wave scene which are evident on 'Islands'. It was handled terribly, but this kind of thing just happens, especially when you have an existing band that brings in a talented lead singer.
Brilliant!!!!!
Really sorry but you are all fantastic musicians but firing the last key ingredient was a huge mistake.
still better than anything today
Ariel Pink has it.
@@UFO_computers Ha, I love Ariel Pink collaboration with Drugdealer very much :)
And Mike Lindup (From Level 42) latest album also very good. (Annie McCaig who do backing vocal in this live also performed with Level 42 too)
C'mon now we have Ed Sheeran 😂
They were destined to die a death even if Limahl had stayed. White Feathers relies heavily on Begg's bass and Nick Rhodes/Colin Thurston production.
Lies and promises is my fave
Love that Stick.
Islands and Crazy people was right to speak are two of my absolute favorite albums from the 80s to this day. Separating from Limahl was the best decision for me. Nick isn't a great live singer. But I find his voice all the more pleasant on the studio versions. Great band that had their very own style of music.
Limahl solo works also very underrated "Love in Your Eyes" was cery cute song ❤ Both of Kajagoogoo (Mk2) and Limahl may not success as they deserved but in music it was very good stuff ❤
I didn't know how to pronounce the name of this band when I was younger. Now I do.
Sacking Limahl was the biggest mistake they ever made.
In the start time is better, without limahl
❤Nick Beggs❤️👍❤
They thought that they could be just as successful without Limahl.. fatal.. BIG MISTAKE..!!!
The day before i where Born 28-10-1984
Kinda sad that limahl couldnt be there
Good times
Unfortunately this concert is cut, cause after Big Apple you can hear that Monochromatic was starting... 🥺 ps: Anyway thank you so much! This is amazing...
Correct. Is not entirely full concert. My guess: around 4 songs are missing. That is just a guess...
@@Limahl_Kajagoogoo_archives maybe one day we will find the rest of the show... let's cross fingers! 🤞🏻
Great band
I don't like the gun, Beggs not playing the bass and his makeup. Said that, I love his voice, Islands is my favourite Kajagoogoo album and the three albums are better than a lot of bands entire career. Thanks for uploading this video
Nick is simply great
Nick was never happy as front man or the whole fame thing.. but he has to be one of the worlds most in demand bass player...he earns top Dollar
He couldn't wait to kick limal and lapped it up
Pictures of him posing in a green mankini say otherwise 😂
@@user-jr7sf7zj2m Nope. Nothing like.
ゴシップ記事の影響を受けて4人の素晴らしいバンドの持つ音楽性がしっかりイギリスで評価されなかったのが悔しい。
アイランズは傑作品である！
Podrian haber sido mucho mas banda de lo que fueron. Algunas decisiones erradas le quitaron poderio a nivel mundial aunque a mi me encanta Kajagoogoo!!!.
Monochromatic was cut! 😫🥲😭 The entire concert is gold to find 🙏🏻
I only know the album cut for Monochromatic (still live) but it's a fantastic song! You made me want to search more now..
No Limahl, no Kajagoogoo, sorry kids.
😂😂😂
It's always the same thing... So foolish. But... okay 🤷♀️
@@andreaheyers5605 just my personal opinion. I do think there are some good tunes on the Islands LP, but they are missing Limahls voice for me.
@@andreaheyers5605 they committed career “Hari Kari” firing him.
Just turned Kaja into teeny-bop.
@@bloodyscalp94 limahl? Didn’t t hurt Duran or Spandau did it. Before limahl all they had was there friends and family coming to gigs. Personally, I’d take the screaming girls any day over obscurity.
Very interesting. I never knew that after Limahl's departure Nick Beggs was doing lead vocal solely with an extra bassist there - in actual concerts. In playback based stage shows like Peter's Pop Show in Germany, Nick was syncing both.
Nick Beggs, in his 'Limahl' phase 😂
Imagine Limahl sing Big Apple and point a gun. It would be funnier as hell.
Dang, Beggs can sing!
I’m surprised many say that Nick can’t sing. Yes he can. Have you ever heard Simon Le Bon, Paul young and OMD sing live? That’s a 👎🏼. Nick’s not a showman, he’s a musician. The whole show should’ve been like turn your back on me with instrument ❤❤
❤ Wow❤Nick👍❤️❤🎼❤️
Nick Begg with no bass???
Great group, but it's a pity that they broke up with Limahl, they would certainly have achieved greater success instead of competing in the group. Greetings fol all Kajjagoogoos guys! ❤
This proves this band F*d up massively.
Den Bosch
Netherlands❤️🌶️👠🤟🤟
managers: Nick is handsome, lets put him as a front man.
The entire world: Sorry, where is Limahl's voice?
pretty much bang on
エゴの塊のリマールはNO THANK YOU
It was NEVER going to work without Limahl...
Extraordinario!! Talentoso 👏👏👏👏
Too shy wasn’t credited to Limahl, so he didn’t write that hit song. If the band wrote it then why shouldn’t they sing it? Limahl was just a front man. He did what he did so he had to go. It just goes to show that the real geniuses were the people playing the music not the person singing the lead vocal with the weird hairdo. It’s sad that their fans don’t see it that way. Nick beggs is a superb bass player and it’s strange he chose here to perform without a bass. Singing lead and playing the bass can be done. Perfect examples look at Sting and mark king from level 42
They tanked and broke up after firing Limahl. Only someone who’s an amateur that’s NOT in the music business would make such a statement plus Limahl was one of the writers of Too Shy which is very important.
"Too Shy" was credited to Limahl as well. He was actually credited 8/10 songs from "White Feathers" for lyrics. The music was credited to Kajagoogoo (all members), the lyrics were either just Limahl or him with Nick Beggs. He was more than just "a front man", plus he was the one who met Nick Rhodes and got them signed in the first place. Of course this doesn't mean that the band weren't great musicians. I personally love all of their albums from the '80s, but Beggs' vocals just weren't nearly as good as his bass playing.
@@kingperalta 100% !!!
8:10 that guys squeaky voice🤣
Excitement gives u special tone for sure 😆
Simon Le Bon - A View to a Kill at Live Aid 1985 : Hold my mic.
@@kidwaryodproduction CRYING🤣😭
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen (Live) : Also Hold My Beer 😅
They even uploaded this disastrous performance in their own channel 😅
I was completely thrown when Nick ran out on stage. I knew he filled Limahl's role, I just wasn't expecting it on this video, from an 84 performance. Taking Nick off his bass is kinda' a crime. He can sing, can do it, but Limahl was his own brand; kinda irreplaceable.
Nick Beggs, a brilliant musician, gave it a good run as frontman, but in the end he didn't have the stage presence or voice of Limahl.
Agree. But Nick Beggs also have unique voice and persona. His voice Remind me of Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet (But more higher tone)
He had the stage persona and with some vocal lessons probably could have been a great lead singer in his own style. But could he have written more good songs/vocals to make this version of the band a success... is the question...
Beggs by far the better front chick. It’s all his stuff anyway.
@@subs4794Nick has never had any vocal lessons. Kajagoogoo was Nicks band, he named it.
I think that beggs had plenty of presence to lead a group, and while sometimes drifting in tune (hello, recall the first simon le bon?) he performed the often unusual vocal lines accurately. In fact i would not build a pop band with both limahl and beggs because one is enough.
PLEASE FULL CONCERT PLZ
That is how it was broadcast on TV - the rest was edited out, so I can't do much I'm afraid.
Great, Nick as a front man is a big responsabilty!!! Things were changing then but unfortunatly the didnt get there!
Nick tuvo que tener el "BASS GUITAR" en la mano SIEMPRE
Cor, Nick s got some hair on that head of his....
go nick go
13:28 XD
Saw the name of Annie McCaig and Level 42 was quickly popped in my mind haha (She's occasion backing vocal with Level 42)
Nick Beggs always look like Nick Heyward long lost brother. Steve Askew always look like Paul Hardcastle. Stuart Neale always look like Sean Penn and Jez Strode always look like members from A-Ha or Mezzoforte :)
Miss Limahl.❤
And does anyone know what John Reed's career was like before and after Kajagoogoo?
Does anyone know the name of that bassist (not nick)
All is in description - it is John Read.
They had Nick why did they need Limahl???
lol
Nick me hace mal verlo, por que lo deseo demasiado dios 🤭😔🤣
Nob-head's ego and a plank destroyed Kajagoogoo
Who is the male backing vocal?
Stuart Neale (keyboards) was always doing backing vocal, so is here.
beggs is extra bass player and good back vox but here we see group of talented musicans..not kajagoogoo
Siento que para que Nick Beck hubiese triunfado, tendría que haber explotado alguna parte de su sexualidad, que para ese entonces estaba tan de moda, como si lo hizo Pete Burns, Boy George, Andy Bell o Limaah, pero no tenía esa fuerza en su personalidad que necesita un artista, sobre todo por el estilo musical que estaban llevando. Nick no es un Simon le bon, que pese a ello, tenía algo de ambiguo. Todosblosnartitas de esa época necesitaban ese Freddy Mercury para poder alcanzar el estrellato.
No one can replace Lilmahl.
Not sure about that.
Good in the different style :)
Oui je suis limahl est irremplaçable ❤❤❤❤❤
Wait¡ who is this? No Limahl
They got rid of Limahl thought he gave them a bubble gum image and Nick Beggs was already in the band on Fretless Bass Guitar he took over on vocals so!
Just not right.
Why the gun? Ridiculous
just nick beggs being nick beggs, you should see the tomfoolery he's up to today
If he also wear Cowboy Hat. He can easily acting in Cowboy Movie. His costume also works well with him haha.
@@crustytoenails6664 I actually miss Nick Beggs as Kajagoogoo lead singer. As a singer he's very cute and funny personality but also have a good voice. Because when he's went to co-formed "Ellis Beggs and Howard" it was more darker tone.
It's a holster for his 🎤
You just don't understand Nick's craziness 😂
So much fairlight sequence backing tracks going on, to beef up the sound.
Bull, it's ppg ,jp8 ,dx , movement systems drum and unlike a lot of others the parts are played live
@@cnfuzz Ha Ha! Love a bit of satire. And naivety.
@@md-ps2hx the tape parts running alongside are overdubs of the same keyboards ,tape plays where he has not enough hands to cover them ( like jp8 flutes in turn your back on me or PPG brass in Lions mouth for instance) but it's not fairlight
Awesome.. but i do wish they had at least kept Limahl in a lil box 📦 , they could let him out for TooShy.
Beggs is an unbelievable bass player, but a subpar singer.
Maybe not a great lead. He's got the chops though, no doubt.
I'd say he was a lot better than anticipated, and filled the role. Thing is, Limahl was his own brand, quickly. So they couldn't really replace him. It worked...but just wasn't the same. And the worst part being it took Nick off bass.
@@JoinTheProgress playing that Chapman stick and doing vocals together , pretty class
No eres el vocalista con el que siempre escucho esos temas
headless without Limahl ... Nik beggs can't sing. Period.
Nick the better chick up front. The band more cohesive without Limahl. They having more fun, being themselves, and songs even better on that follow up record.
this video is so weird
why
