All of the songs they played were songs from their 80's albums, which is understandable given the theme of the concert.
The last song they played was "Temptation." Now here in North America, Heaven 17's best-known song is "Let Me Go." However, in the UK and Europe, "Temptation" was a huge smash hit.

Heaven 17 were originally an off-shoot of the BEF- which Ware and Marsh formed after leaving the Human League.
This is a definite influence on the soulful-electronics of Timbaland,Destinys Child, Roger Sanchez and Aaliyah.
It was around this time that Heaven 17 restarted Tina Turner's credit and in the process made her millions!...The band seemed to become blander after this- Ware producing the difficult 'Perhaps' by The Associates and the band outstaying their initial premise.

Heaven 17 was formed in 1980 by former Human League members Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware.
Check out their other tracks like "I'm Your Money," "Play To Win" and "This Is Mine." Their self titled 1981 album, "Heaven 17" is a must.

While Heaven 17 is geared for dance funk'n'soul, the short-lived B.E.F. pursued conceptual one-offs with a variety of people, like the TV dance troupe Hot Gossip.
The American Heaven 17 release deletes three tracks from Penthouse and Pavement and replaces them with the top-notch pop soul of "Let Me Go" and "Who Will Stop the Rain," both from the UK edition of The Luxury Gap.
Incapable of any further innovation, and with the novelty of soul-styled electronic dance music having long since worn off, Heaven 17 (like their former mates in Human League) reached the late '80s lacking a strong identity: too many bands sound like this now.

The first Heaven 17 album I ever bought was the US only compilation "Heaven 17" which took track from Penthouse and Pavement and the band's second album The Luxury Gap.
Frankly compared to the versions of a couple of songs on the Arista Heaven 17 album (I think they used single mixes) these sound rough- Play to Win and Let's All Make a Bomb come to mind.
The real jewel is Soul Warfare, originally performed by the UK "band" Hot Gossip (as produced by BEF, the production arm of Heaven 17, so it is not a big surprise Heaven 17 choose to re-do it for this album).

After creating a marvelous electronic debut, Glenn Gregory, Ian Marsh, and Martyn Ware decided to tamper with their winning formula a bit on Heaven 17's 1983 follow-up to Penthouse and Pavement.
The result, which added piano, strings, and Earth, Wind, & Fire's horn section to the band's cool synthesizer pulse, was even better, and The Luxury Gap became one of the seminal albums of the British new wave.
If beat-heavy techno anthems like "Crushed By the Wheels of Industry" were expected of Heaven 17, the melodic sophistication of "The Best Kept Secret" and "Lady Ice and Mr.
