"What do you miss most been away from Australia?"
"The Eucalyptus" - This is why Greg is different.
RIP Greg... And a long life to Colin filled with many more songs and music, as well as happiness, intense and beautiful feelings!
Suddenly, I'm almost 40 years younger...
Ron strykert using a customized maple yamaha sg800 guitar fantastic, sadly this band finished way before their time and could have gone on to greater things.
Greater things? Who knows? The Police stopped at the top in 1983.
they were a four year old band and some of them had little or no experience in the music industry...They were Tsunami'd onto the world stage and imploded.The internal politics did not show from outside but it got so crude that one of them was charged by LA police for threatening to murder the other....Something is wrong and Colin Hay was left rowing the ship with a fork...what did he do to the rest..
Your music is so refreshing in the current musical climate !!! Real songs with real talent too..... Thank you!!!
Ron Strykert, boy the guy can play. Beautiful x
the Aussie Andy Summers
Ron strykert is a fantastic guitarist.
@@knowmusicman157 That’s actually a very accurate comparison
andy summers was a jazz guitarist and session muso long before police and I don't believe this guy is that good.@@knowmusicman157
I agree entirely. Very very underrated axeman.
Happy memories of teenage years in was 13 when this was recorded
Brilliant songs that impacted my life in the early 80s. They were special as I am a Kiwi from next door to them here in NZ. A great concert and i love Colin's voice.
Giving me goosebumps listening to a lot of this... And then more when you go into It's A Mistake... Great intro, rhythm, lyrics and melodies. 👏👏👏. A real masterpiece... Musicianship, vocals, uniqueness, fun, quirkiness... You guys had it all!
I enjoyed your band growing up, but man you and that guitar are something spectacular. Your voice and the way you play now is a force of nature. Thanks for never giving up, and sharing your music.
He is SPOT ON with the ,,Smell of Australia,, first thing stepping out of the Airport. and for a Dutch Guy even more so . But EVERY time coming back , there is that distinctive Smell again....
Four days away from my 19th birthday. What golden days those were.
When music still meant something, when the talent was raw, no auto tune, no pro tools, passion and putting ones soul into it, the 80s were a great time to be alive, was blessed to have been a teenager in that time. 🤘
they don't need music to psyop the people anymore...they have reality TV,...podcasts and social media to brainwash the population,.
Awesome! this is a treasure.
No Sign of Yesterday is an amazing song.
This fabulous tune will forever haunt me for the rest of my life. It was my fantasy that actually came true. I met an Aussie, he met a strange lady, I took him in and kept him to make him breakfast! We have had 15 marvelous years!! I fed him steak, a baked potato with toppings, a salad with 3 shrimp on top And a pot of tea!! Yes, I kept him!!
Thank you Colin Hay! Best wishes to you and your family ever!!
Luke Buckwalter No. You mother. My Aussie is not related to Mr. or Mrs. Colin Hay or I. Comments on the video are appreciated.
Well done.
When there was good music...
Thanks for sharing
Nice short concert!Gotta love Colin's bow tie!Also Ron's killer guitar solo on I Like To and Greg's unique dancing!I would much rather watch Colin and Greg's spontaneous and often goofy dance moves than any of the slick,choreographed dancing that today's artists do at their concerts or in their videos!
"What do you miss most been away from Australia?"
Greg: "Eucalyptus.! 😂😂😂
Una de las mejores bandas de los 80 con este tema donw under un clasico que le dio la vuelta al mundo una cancion pegajosa contagiosa una mezcla entre el rock y el reguee el segundo himno de Australia
Many thanks for uploading!
Original setlist:
Mr Entertainer - The Longest Night - Who Can It Be Now - Upstairs in My House - Down Under - Overkill - I Like To - Underground - It's a Mistake - Be Good Johnny
Thanks sooo much for the wonderful music🤗
3 years before I was born. Wish I could have seen it. Timeless band
They were are a grate live band
My childhood 💙 great nostalgic
Mine too !! Wish i could go back even for a bit!!
Colin Hay's spoken voice during the interview is very Australian in accent whereas interview appearances now have him with a very thick Scottish accent.
I'd forgotten how hard these guy's....ROCK!
Edgier live
That was awesome.
Great band...too bad it was short lived, it would have been great to see the Men still out there today making great music, but it's great that Colin has a band now that performs the music.
I’m in heaven!
en 1983 aun no habia nacido pero en 1996 esta cancion era lo mas top sonaba en todos lados 🔥🔥🔥 hits mundial
I like too solo is insane. Thanks for sharing
Maravilloso😊
O cara toca flauta, teclado e ainda canta. Que Dom
Neat to see this
Awesome still!
Wow, this so good. Good music, if it's quality, will sound great, no matter where or when or how.
Thanks for uploading, I still got it on VHS, but the quality is geting worse
GENIALES!!!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaala canta idéntico a sus grabaciones en estudio... Genial!
Ron Strykert is MANIC on the guitar & brilll
Saudades dos anos 80
This is thee best live men at work ive seen
Live in dortmund is good
R.I.P Greg Ham.
Strykert kicking ass on ILT! Nice!
Great, down under almost double speed.
Saw them on the Cargo tour in 1983 in Manhattan on a pier.
That keyboardist's multi-colored top is pure '80s all the way....
Batera muito bom.
Público prendido👍💡💡💡😊😊😊
The nervous breakfast song.
Best song in the world, put Oz and Vegemite the map.
Lmao , 🤣 Australia's like their beer in quantity ! Gregg was so cool!
Did I just hear Colin Hay drop his Scottish accent in the interview with the Dutch music journo?
yep
The Aussie Reggae Country Safari.
They cut off 2nd voice in It's a Mistake... Was that so bad?
the other guys frankly don’t have the greatest singing voices, but it’s still nice to have them there. they always did them real dirty, turning them down so much. the ending harmony during who can it be now is always all greg because of how annoying the engineers were
Any idea about what Strykert did afterwards ?
I guess he's the guitar player in blue T-shirt, isn't he ?
And what about the other members of the band ?
Yes, the one in the blue shirt is Ron Strykert, he currently lives in Montana, does some bar shows.
Bassist John Rees is a guitar teacher and plays the violin.
Jerry Speiser, the drummer, doesn't know much about him.
Greg Ham, the multi-instrumentalist, died is 2012.
@@mickeyascosta5746 yes of course I knew for Greg (RIP Greg). And thanks for the rest of the info.
May be I walked next to Ron without knowing (I lived in Bozeman, MT, for 3 years).
@@mickeyascosta5746 Jerry is a physics teacher
Colin can play too, tasty and melodic.
Omg thank you for sharing this, I love the interview in the beginning. I love this band
Colin very Aussie here, hardly hear the Ershurr at all.
Unless you are the Rolling Stones!
wait so.... is colin australian or scottish.... hddbdbhdhrr
Born in Scotland, moved with his family to Australia as a teen.
Does "nervous" rhyme with "breakfast"? RIP Greg Ham, and f*** off Larrikin music.
So much tension oozes from Colin, no wonder they broke up
@@gyldenbeag5798 anger, dislike, indifference towards others. It's a very negative vibe that he gives off
@@barryking8136 There is no tension to see from Colin Hay. Not in 1983. Since 1985 the problems begun. I dunno what you are discovering there.
@@charlieranger4598 He basically fired John Rees and Jerry Speiser after the Cargo tour, ripping the soul from the band. I've watched enough MAW videos to see that it was apparent that HE wanted to be the focal point and didn't seem to like being upstaged by Ron's brilliant playing. I love Colin, but he basically killed the band when they still had so much more to offer. The new songs they began playing live in 1983 were all excellent (The Longest Night, Coldfinger and Fallin' Down) and makes one wonder how differently 1980s music would've evolved had they managed to keep it together.
@@daveidmarx8296 Look, the tensions were already there, but the real problems came after "cargo". I don't want to believe, that Colin was the only guilty person. Look at other great bands. Look at the Beatles and their slowly beginning and since India thriving problems. I am sure, with MAW we had 5 people who failed to manage their upcoming problems which always occur while becoming superstars. But we have one thing in common, we lboth love the music from the eighties.
@@charlieranger4598 You have a point. I mean it takes two to tango for sure. BTW, the Beatles problems can be traced to before India for sure (just to show how deep-rooted personal problems can start). Paul walked out an a 1966 session for She Said, She Said due to an argument with the others. I think with MAW, it might have been too much success too soon and no one really knew how to handle it properly. BTW, I just uploaded a clip of them doing I Like You in Hamburg with improved audio over what's currently circulating. Enjoy!:
