Look at people's hands. No phone. Just clapping and enjoying the music, dancing. Someone take us back in time plz.
Totalmente
Had the same thought.
Create a time machine and give me a ride to that time pls!
Thats becuse there were not phonesback then duh
@@italko The "duh`s " yet on you, because you failed to get the essence of the comment - Of course there were no phones back then Einstein and josee was pointing out the beauty of that era....
blind in one eye, legally blind in the other, Colin Hay is an inspiration and one hell of a writer/singer. I'm in awe of people like him who rise despite extra challenge.
Blind in one and can't see out of the other, OMG. I learn something everyday. Been working on these songs with my bandmate in Savu, Indo. Even in 2024 they're proven, classic, & awesome compositions, if Greg Ham is dead, RIP, sad loss for the industry. What skills he had!! PS the black yammy ( or Ibanez)guitar is a black beauty.
it’s a lazy eye he’s not blind
this band was far better than people thought..!!!
Yeah but they were on Top of the world for a little while💫
Yees
Yeshua y peace.
Men at work saved me from a dark time in my mental health, LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART
Amazing band. Stay with us, buddy. A new day is awaiting you.
That's the power of good music!
❤
Since I was a boy of 12 in 1983 and listening to Cargo and Business as usual LPs through dustbin like headphones played on and powered by my Uncle's Music Centre, Sir Hay has been a huge influence as to live life! Not trying to compare you to Jesus Colin but you are a secret modern day prophet to us mature generation 🙏
@@gregphillips.1312 Colin is a cool cat.
One of the best saxophonists and flutists ever. Rest in Peace Greg Ham
As compared to whom? First-year flutists and saxophonists can play the easy sax parts in Men At Work's simple pop music. Ever hear of Michael Brecker, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Charlie Parker, George Howard, Tom Scott, or David Sanborn? You oughta listen to all of those guys and many more before you shoot your mouth off with a hilarious comment like that. Greg Ham is not even on the radar as saxophonists go.
@@artvandelay8090cry cry cry 😂😂😂
@@artvandelay8090 Music isn't a competion, it's an art that means feelings to each individual, take your jock mentality elsewhere.
@@PresenceUponMe You take it elsewhere. I'll call out ignorant and stupid comments whenever I feel like it. People like you hate to hear how ignorant you are, to the point of resisting learning. Why don't you shut up and learn something for a change? Too impatient? Too busy with your face buried in your phone?
@@artvandelay8090 Men at Work´s musician could play many instruments like in this video. Maybe the other saxophonists played different and more difficult genders, but Greg Ham could make history and gain fame with his own style.
Back in the late 90s my boyfriend at the time worked for a glass company. He was sent to install stained glass at Colin's house in Topanga Canyon. I tagged along that day to help. I remember Colin as very kind, down to earth, and funny. He showed us his Grammy he had sitting on top of his fireplace mantle. We spent several hours there. Definitely something I'll never forget.
Colin a native of saltcoats scotland and what a talent
I have a similar story, only that we did a full house furniture move for him. We got half way through the move in, It had been a three hour drive, plus the move out, and had half a truck left. He made us a cup of tea, and we all talked for two hours. No pretentious BS. Just a bunch of guys sharing anecdotes.
@karizma8175 Oh that's so cool!
Thank you so much for sharing 😊
@@speedfreakjive8843 😊
Their music still holds up, now 40 years later!
real musicians right here - u know they arent lip synching to any track - absolutely awesome
These guys were all over the radio during the 80's.
Great memories.
83 was without a doubt the best year for music in the 80's! U just had to be there to fully understand how wonderful the 80's were
Likewise the 70's
80 to 83 were amazing so miss the 1980s
What I was listening to a lot in the early 80s on my cassette tape playing sony walkman. Men at Work
Listrn to the most recent episode of Hit Parade. You'll love it
Probably one of the most underrated bands in the 1980's. Awesome and amazing Band! Their music lives until today.
Totally forgot how GREAT this band was.
I hear ya...
This brings me such great memories of my senior year-1982. The early 80’s was the best in music.
I saw Colin Hay’s solo concert in 2016. He was incredible! So funny, and a wonderful storyteller. He got very emotional talking about Greg passing away, the sax player from Men at Work. They were very close friends. If you ever have the opportunity to see him live, you must go. You won’t regret it 😊
What a great story man, If I have the chance to see him live I will. Does he still doing concerts yet?!
@@decioplacido7 yes, sometimes solo and sometimes with a full band and his wife joins the band .
I saw Colin Hay with Ringo Starrs All Star Band. Colin played all the great Men at Work songs, it was amazing. Ringo does an awesome concert!
In 83 I was an aspiring teen drummer. My family got cable TV for the first time. MTV brought these bands from all over the world to my living room. I was in love with Heavy Metal. But there was such talent in bands like this. I was like a sponge, learning everything I could from bands like this. Colin's voice is amazing.
That was one year before I started playing drums.
"Overkill" is such a beautiful song - My favorite from the band. ♥
One of the best debut albums of all time! Overkill, from Cargo, a deep tune that touches the soul …
It's very good ... I remember claiming the same thing.
When it came out it was so fresh, so good, so catchy.
But now, 40yrs later?
I recognize how incredibly competitive "Best Debut Album" is.
Boston
The Cars
Van Halen
Led Zeppelin
Hendrix
Sade
Plus more recent examples;
Lorde
Billie Eilish
Hip Hop
NWA
Punk
The Clash
If you weren’t alive in ‘82-‘83 it’s extremely hard to emphasize just how HUGE Men At Work were!!!
These blokes exploded onto the scene from the land down under and took the world by storm.
The death knell came at the 1983 Grammy Awards when Men At Work took home the Best New Artist award.
An award that has jinxed many new bands over years including Milli Vanilli Shelby Lynne, Evanescence , Amy Winehouse , Sam Smith and Meghan Trainor. The award is said to send even the most talented into obscurity. There are many new artists who have won the new artist awards and gone onto greatness such as Beyoncé, Nora Jones, Christina Aguilera. But who knows?
to be fair milli vanilly doomed themselves
@@adjustableWench i love your name
@@GreatBowlsAfire haha sometimes i will go by universalWench or crescentWench - depends on my mood lol
I saw them live in 83 in nyc. Afterwards, Colin Hay solo twice. Hes an unbelievable guitarist who really never misses a note. Just watch him.
Overkill was on the airwaves at a time when my life was turned upside down on every single angle. Song was reassuring to me. That dreamy "ghosts appear and fade away" always made me weepy. I was right at that point where childhood is over and facing the future with a destructing and shattered family was so hard.
❤
Desejo que você fique bem. Um abraço.
I'm so sorry for what you went through. I can totally relate. At certain times in your life you re-evaluate life itself and it's not easy. I hope you are doing well now. God bless you.
@@richardmiller191 Life went on and all is good :-) God Bless you also!
I guess I just always thought music would stay this great. I am thankful I grew up in the 80's, I salute all of you!
What a voice!!
In 83 my grandpa had 31, in 82 he had my mom, he always played these songs to her, and when I was born, he did the same thing, even tho we don't get allong very well, we LOVE men at work
名曲盛りだくさんでイイ時代でしたねぇ
great band
great band
Greg Ham R.I.P best mate ever..
Con Collins , los líderes de Men at work!
All great ! I listen this Beauty music in 2024 ..never dead
One of my favorite song from the 80s.
Overkill saved my life.
I never realized the tenor sax player was the organ player was the flute player was the soprano sax player. Very talented.
Quanta riqueza, quanta originalidade! Saudosos anos em que havia um banquete musical para nossa apreciação!
For some reason Colin Hay makes me imagine a blend of David Byrne and Bon Scott. Much respect to a great, uplifting band.
Also he resembles actor Ralph Fiennes.
Only uane😮😅
Tres joyas de canciones, bellos los 80' gracias a hombres trabajando.😂😂😮
hahahah u right, how can you not love colin?
Still great music.
I’m 25 yrd old from Queensland, Australia. Sad I will never be apart of a crowd like this with no phones, what a great connection between artist and crowd
I have Overkill on my workout playlist.....pumps me up every time!!
Grandes Artistas Que Marcaron Mi Juventud...😅
Saw them in 1981, they owned the radio 📻 airwaves at that time. Great memories of my youth.
Awesome! I assume that you are from Australia since we did not get them here in the US until 1982. I wish I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in the day.
I love this song
Impressionante a qualidade do som que os caras faziam ao vivo!
Colin Hay and Men At Work are stellar!
Men at Work a loved band in Brazil.
Brilliant band. Men at Work.Went to listen to Colin Hay a few years ago in Munich.Fkin Fantastic.
Men at work business as usual is one of my moat favorite albums. My son and I would toodle around in my Ranger truck, dreaming of going to the sea to find treasure. Priceless.
Ment At Work, só músicas de Qualidade!!!!!
Good shit grew up on this music it doesn't get any better Darwin Australia 😂😂
Timeless group. Always a favorite for the crowd.
Was at an outdoor free concert that featured Collin Hay. Passers by going about their business in the city had a passage way created between the stage and the crowd gathered to see Collin perform.
An intoxicated indigenous woman gave Colin an piece of verbal advice as she walked by. Colin immediately stopped the performance and absolutely sprayed the grub of a woman. It was a sight to see.
What did she say to Colin?
sprayed her with what
I really think a movie about this band would do amazingly well.
Amazing group of greatness
If you include his voice, Greg Ham plays a total of 5 instruments in just these 3 songs alone. It's not talked about nearly enough just how talented that man was. RIP.
They were definitely the biggest thing going, back in 1983. They had that album, Business As Usual, and I played that album literally every day gor about 6 months
I had it to brilliant album, sadly no longer in my posetion.
One of the great voices, one of the great bands
When "Cargo" their 2nd album came out THEY WERE SO FREAKING HUGE !!! MTV played the shit outta them and all the videos. They made what I thought Australia and Crocodile Dundee was.
Como se puede tocar 3 Obras Maestras tan seguidas... hasta emocionarse, tal vez una de las bamdas mas Infravaloradas de la Musica 80 s
Besides their undeniable musical talent and musicianship, what always stood out about Men At Work to me was the way quite some of their songs did not treat topics concerning mental health and existential dread not allegorically or in sarcastic or cynical ways (as was the norm), but in a very personal and vulnerable fashion. Them being "Aussie blokes" always made it all the more special.
Thanks for this video. I saw it on West-German TV in 1983. Still unforgettable.
It is listening to classical music in Rock rhythm....the best....❤❤❤
Gracias MEN AT WORK...🎸🎸🎸🎷🥁🎤👍❤️
I love my life and this song is part of it.
Love these songs!!
Good band good scotsman good tunes
I love this folks, so down to earth people
Oh my god, is this absolutely amazing!! I truly love you kids!!
God bless you, Greg.

Nice song🎉
Love this song. Love MEN AT WORK.😊
Saw them on this very World tour, Manchester UK and they were fantastic
Having seen many performances over the years, MAW maintained accuracy in their shows. Us novices know that it must be hard to do it the same way show after show and yet they stay true to the masterpieces they created.
Got all the albums, brilliant band😁
My favorite band in my youth ❤️ 💕
Que banda maravilhosa, esse colin vocalista tem uma voz poderosa e perfeita, parabéns a todos da banda vocês são foda, que perfeição,
