Saw that random note on the keys in 1:15 too. It would be the keyboard player in the blue shirt. I would say that a key got stuck down on the last chord before the key change and he had to flick it back up when he realised.
I used to play keyboards in bands years ago and had a keyboard that did that to me at a few gigs before the repair shop was available. Was quite embarrassing!

It was a Saturday and I just started working my first job at Wendy's at the age of 16 and was ready to quit because I wanted to go home and watch Live Aid. No VCR to record. I could only watch the highlights on MTV when I got home that night. I was bummed!!!!
for some reason the 80's sound very japanese for me ^^ the sound of the dx7 is so cheap awesome lol but nik kershaw is one of my favorite artist the ridle is a master piece

The guitar solo is a work of a genius. And the genius can only be Nik Kershaw.

It means flashy, being a show-off. It's a bit of a 1980's term, not really used that much now, you still hear it a little here and there though.
