Colin James Hay, for me, his is one of the best ever singer /songwriter ever since my youth.....!!!!!!! Now, I'm 63 years old and i love him and his songs forever and ever......!!!!! Thank you Colin, we will never get old...........!!!!!!!!!! :-)
In the 80’s, I played Alto and Tenor Sax in high school. I always tried to play along with this song, INXS, Oingo Boingo, the specials and the English beat. Never had the chops. This girl is fucking amazing. Well done. 80’s bands had saxophone 🎷
This brought me to tears with the memories of listening to these songs in my youth during long hot Aussie summers. Colin's voice still amazing as ever.
For anyone wondering, the AMAZING Scheila Gonzalez is who plays sax/flute/keys in the band. She is scary good... I've seen her about a dozen times over the years playing in Dweezil Zappa's tribute band to Frank. She plays some of the most insane instrumental parts, is a fantastic singer, and is def a fan-fav among DZ fans... always gets the biggest ovations at Zappa shows. It's great to see her do so well in other projects. Scheila is a real talent!
Yes!!!! I've seen her at D Zappa shows, and considering F Zappas amazing talent for composing extremely hard compositions she always has it on point. Amazing shows. Dweezil is so much like his dad. Imagine being a teenager in that house lol.
Colin Hay and his music are both timeless. You can sing his songs word for word even after all these years because his songs tell a story. His style of music and unique instrumentation was unheard off when the first Men at Work album came out, but they took the US by storm. It is a joy to see him still out playing and sounding every bit as good as he did back in the early 80's. Thank you for sharing a great video. I couldn't love this band more.
@@craigbmm4675 I'll bet it was an awesome show. I found some you tube stuff where he was in Ringo Starrs allstar band. He still has it after all these years!
@@Gruuvin1 thanks for pointing out facts! it’s a trip to me how these people always trying to say these bands and performers after 40 years sound exactly the same, these bands and singers don’t sound as good as they did 40 years ago or 30 years ago
@@sambell385 Most cannot do it at the same level any more... It is natural to loose a bit over the years. I did notice that the singer from The Cure has somehow managed to stay spot on. Really impressive... look up a few modern live videos. He does not miss a note, ever.
obrigado por existrirem men at work tenho 55 anos ouço voces desde meus 11 anos..... amo ate hoje suas musicas as unicas que ficou colocado no meu coração... SOU DO BRASIL....
i truly love this band so much, magnificent sounds to my ears! Thanks for giving all of us MEN AT WORK fans this amazing show!!! they are a taste that once you taste them, you will ALWAYS want more,,..... thank you, 🤗🥳😏🥰💯💚💚💚💚💚🤟
Esta canción la escuchaba en mi adolescencia cuando estaba en el colegio, hoy tengo 54 años, y soy fan de Colin Hay además su esposa es Peruana como yo.
Business as Usual. Cargo. t Two Hearts. Might be the best three consecutive albums of the 80's. All three superb songwriting and serious understanding of pop rock of the time. Amazing times.
*Lo mejor y fantástico de todo esto es que en el Nuevo Grupo de Colin Hay está una Chapina Guatemalteca, dónde le está dando vida al Teclado y a la hermosísima Flauta, que es la que le da ese toque y ese sazón a Down Under, bella canción e himno de Australia. Canción inventada por ese grupo maravilloso y legendario como lo fue y sigue siendo "Men At Work, que ahora ahí está presente el beautifull País de la eterna primavera como lo es la Gran Guatemala, y que Viva por toda la Eternidad.🇬🇹 UwU*
I must have been living under a rock! I didn't know that Colin was born in Scotland, never heard his speaking voice, picked up on the accent immediately, even after all his time 'down under'.
@@canary_in_a_coalmineYes, still the same sound. Don't know what some people expect, it's only natural that a singers voice fills out and gets deeper over the years...no one expects Elton John to hit the really high notes anymore do they!
This is one of my favorites bands since I was in Mexico city where I born. I didn't know english by then, And then when I moved to California and learned the language I said this guy is more amazing than I thought. 80's never dies. Thank you Men at Work for those great memories. 👍
Que saudade linda meu Deus do céu ❤❤❤❤... Anos 80melhor época da música mundial de todos os tempos!!! O PLANETA INTEIRO agradece pelos belos cantor e compositor e músicas dos anos 80!!!
My cherished music is from an earlier time. Love 67 to 73 period the best..lol my formative years. But, coming around much later..men at work took a place in my heart. Great music.
Very nice, takes me back to the early 80's when I was a young bloke in the Navy, dancing with every young lady in the clubs whose hand I could grab. Cheers 🍻 ✌️
My dad wouldn't bring me to a show because he was afraid of getting piss tested by the Navy. He didn't smoke but was afraid of second hand pot smoke. He probably got his smoking in while in Vietnam but I'd never even say without being there and I definitely wasn't.
I never noticed just how awesome the chords that Colin does are. There are the basic ones of course but you can hear the suspended or augmented ones during certain points in the song. Amazing!
I watched a video on his TH-cam channel where he explains how to play the acoustic version of ‘Overkill’. I’ve played guitar for 25 years and I still found it a struggle!
There's probably half a dozen ways to play these chords but he's trying to get that twangy reggae-ish vibe and tone so he's using the capo on the 2nd fret and playing a little higher so he can get those toppy up-strokes. The man obviously knows his Bob Marley. A seriously underrated musician, Colin Hay. I've seen him a number of times as a solo act in the last 20 years and always an inspiring performance.
@@OrestisTrips No problem - his parents had a record shop in Kilwinning which is where he got the music bug - moved to "Down Under" when he was a teenager. Of course I won't know any of this because we have asked for an interview being a Scottish station but so far he has never said yes.
Amo Men At Work... Seria um sonho se vocês viessem tocar pelo menos uma vez no Rock in Rio. Escuto vocês desde os 6 anos de idade, quando ia para Cabo Frio - Rio de Janeiro Brasil. Desde então amo vocês!!!
HOJE NÃO TEM MAIS ROCK IN RIO, MAS SIM ROCK IN LIXO! NAO ENTENDO COMO UM EVENTO TEM O NOME DE ROCK E AO MESMO TEMPO TEM ANITA, PABLO VITAR E OUTRAS PORCARIAS.
It is my teenage memory back in the 80's with that Men At Work band famous here in France, listening so many excellent music, is it still. Excellent guitar choice in that video
I knew Colin was born in my native Scotland but I’ve never heard him speak and haven’t seen him anywhere for 20 odd years , so I was pleasantly surprised to hear he’s still got his accent after all those years down under . Go Colin 👍🏴

Just hearing this song I feel better. God bless colin hay. Hi from Brazil
The very first Hi Fidelity Album I ever bought back in the early 80's. Amazing sound quality back then. I was 14 years old!
This brought me to tears with the memories of listening to these songs in my youth during long hot Aussie summers. Colin's voice still amazing as ever.
Me too bro!
I have met Colin many times
He is such a nice guy down to earth
What a songwriter with such a brilliant voice

She's such an incredibly talented and nice person.

1983 Edmonton Alberta was the first and last time I saw Men at Work. Thanks for the memories.
Come on!!! what a great band!! That sax!! So great! Brings me back..
That lady nailed Who Can It Be Now didn't she ?
His voice is spot on. His pipes held up after all these years.
He's actually been doing many many shows all these years, solo gigs on his own.
you are joking
Seriously. He didn't sing any of the original melodies, because his pipes haven't held up all these years.

Great saxophonist, nailed the solo
Bluwng was right about his voice, it's still there after all these years. And the girl on sax was really at work. Thanks for sharing this video.
WOW, hes still got it.....OUTSTANDING!
Still got it Collin. Bloody legend. Loved the sax, loved everything. What a fantastic tight band. I really enjoyed that.
Brilliant Colin still sounds great brings back many memories, thankyou
This is several summers of my childhood. Bikes. Cut Grass. Evening sunsets....what a ride man. Great upload!

Good old days memories of my years living down under in 90's, this bloody songs played every minutes in the radios..
Brilliant. Love seeing this after all these years.
What a great tune and sung great
Jimmy Branly, the drum player, is superb. He's one of the best Cuban salsa/jazz drummers ever.
i truly love this band so much, magnificent sounds to my ears! Thanks for giving all of us MEN AT WORK fans this amazing show!!! they are a taste that once you taste them, you will ALWAYS want more,,..... thank you, 🤗🥳😏🥰💯💚💚💚💚💚🤟
Great live version of an early 80s tune. Great memories of school days.😄

Saludos de un peruano desde Argentina. Ella es su esposa?. Siempre grande Men at work.
My favorite has always been Overkill.
Same !
Same!
Yup!
And, "It's A Mistake!"
especially on Scrubs
Business as Usual. Cargo. t
Two Hearts. Might be the best three consecutive albums of the 80's. All three superb songwriting and serious understanding of pop rock of the time. Amazing times.
The band of 83/84 , Colin Hay a brilliant musician. His songs were so good . Down Under , Overkill, and Who can be superb

Colin still sounds fantastic. Of course, he’s the only original member touring under the Men At Work name now.
I’d still go to see them. Such great songs..
He seemed tired, like he was ready to call it a night.

1:03 This man has the wit of a Scotsman, tinged with the beautiful Aussie humor.
Wit of a Scotsman? Cockneys and the Irish have that covered
Great songs & amazing band. Loved it!!!!
These guys are awesome. I still have their first CD great music.

Viva el Peru! Y larga vida a Men at Work!😀
Amazing musicians play amazing music. Seeing Colin Hay really made my day.
So glad our music is still alive Ty !
These songs are forever, they´ll always sound fresh...
I watched MTV just to see this bands video. Who can it be....... Loved it. Thanks
Still sounds amazing after all these years
Incredible. Blew me away. Miss them.
EXCELENTE BANDA SALUDOS DESDE LIMA PERÚ
We love our freedom loving Aussie brothers and sisters !!!!
Holy shit. I was nothing but heavy metal in the 80s. Never game them time of day. Now... Wow these guys are incredible!!
Thanks Jim, you made me shed a tear, greetings from a man born in 1973.
Jimmy’s amazing on drums and Scheila is amazing on sax!! Doing Jerry and Greg proud that’s for sure!!
Saw them in 1983......what a fun show then and looks fun now. Great video
Beautiful guitar, sound and music.

Cecilia from Peru, who introduced him, is Collin's wife. Collin sounds Great after all these years. The Band is Great too.
When I was 10 years old and listening a new fresh sound from Australia in 1983 precious times .
two of my favorite tunes.... rocking the 80s again!
Awesome..Sounds Great,Thanks for Sharing,Have a Great Day🤘🎸🎸👏👏
My cherished music is from an earlier time. Love 67 to 73 period the best..lol my formative years. But, coming around much later..men at work took a place in my heart. Great music.
Tow of the greatest debut albums in music history BOSTON and MEN a WORK

Yo crecí con esta música lo mejor me acuerdo viejos tiempos y ya tengo 57 años y la sigo oyendo felicidades
el cantante mide 1.90, saludos rolando
Tal cual.Yo curso mis 56 y estas canciones son verdaderos momentos de disfrute y alegría.
Super band. Made them my son's first concert, what a hit, thank you Colin and band (2021 Melody Tent, Cape Cod MA)...
Great performance ♡♡♡♡♡
Colin is one sweet guitarist. Very beautiful textures.
That was great! Thanks for super songs of uplift.
The essence and validity go hand in hand... Applause from Argentina 👍
muchos años atras, en tucacas, venezuela, a orilla de playa, disfrute buena musica,. chevere.
I member when this song came out and Band, Great Era!!! Awesome Video!!! I'm 69 still Rock n Roll!!!
They are spot on!
His voice has hardly changed! A lot of 80s singers cam barely do it these days, but he certainly still can! I still love the saxaphone!
Men at Work’s albums were all absolute gems. If you haven’t listened to them you’ve no idea what you’ve missed.
They blew me away !
A Legend came out of the woods after a long frigging time!!! Thank you!!!!
LOVE the band, love the tunes. Great combo! Can't beat that chunky beauty, either!

One of the best voices from down under, one of the most iconic sax/flute tracks, so nice to see MAW still alive and kicking!
Actually he's from Scotland - which is why we are still waiting for his interview on our Scottish Pirate Show
@@HarvestMoonRadio Scottish born. We live and learn 🙂Thank you.

😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A Great Performance!
Men At Work!!
Great!!
Greetings*
Love his voice and also the guitar he is playing.
Saw them in Tulsa for the first time. Great Great show! As mentioned Colin can still hit all the notes.
I love Men at Work. Although I was a bit surprised to see that it was actually Colin Hay with a band of studio musicians. I still enjoyed the show.
Damn, great tone and feel on that sax solo. Nailed it so good! 🤟🔥
Colin Hay is one of the most underrated Musician's of all time.
My thoughts exactly!
It's a shame.
It's amazing how every music artist or band on TH-cam is "underrated".
Still hits those high notes like a boss.
Saw Colin a couple years ago - just him and a few guitars. Ridiculously great show.
Amo Men At Work... Seria um sonho se vocês viessem tocar pelo menos uma vez no Rock in Rio. Escuto vocês desde os 6 anos de idade, quando ia para Cabo Frio - Rio de Janeiro Brasil. Desde então amo vocês!!!
Magnifico Men at work. Desde criança curto essa banda maravilhosa.

I really enjoyed listening to that, great stuff. ❤
Blessed by god! What a voice!!!
“Sounds like the part you hear before you go to commercial on ‘Forensic Files’” Damn I laughed at that😂
Great band Man!!! He sounds amazing still!!!!
I saw these guys in the early 1980s. They still sound the same.
Pretty unique voice, no mistaking him for sure.
Greetings from Down Under. Really down under in Tassie at the bottom of the mainland. Cousin to New Zealand. XXX
When this song/album was released it was a Great time to be alive. Now not so much.
i love these guys !
awwwwwwwwwwwwww the 80eeeessssssssssssssssssssss !!!!!!!!!!
It is my teenage memory back in the 80's with that Men At Work band famous here in France, listening so many excellent music, is it still.

Great music! Sad to hear about the 2012 lose of Gregory Norman Ham he was such an amazing talent.
Thanks for posting Jim be safe
