Colin Hay - Down Under

Colin hay performing a live and acoustic version of Down Under

[@coldwave007]

This version of the song is just incredible. There's such a sense of class, emotion, and sincerity in the vocals that I've heard few artists bring to a song. Just incredible.

[@robstapp4817]

i play this song 3 to 4 times a year,i get goose bumps and i cant sit still during this version,its beyond incredible

[@jonicruz71]

I think Colin Hay is so underappreciated as a singer, songwriter and musician. It's a shame. I love his music and his sense of humor.

[@Phill15]

This version gives the song such a deeper meaning

[@okrajoe]

This song always made me want to visit Australia.

[@PittsburghSonido]

This version and the one fro 2016 where he played for the 40th anniversary of Santa Cruz guitars are so phenomenal. Hay is a masterclass in live-performing and working the crowd.

[@pabloalarroyo]

still has that haunting voice !! Great memories , nice version too...

[@jwickham65]

I saw him perform this rendition at Largo 10 years ago and it blew me away. He's a master of the guitar, his vocals are exceptional, and he's hilarious.

[@fullwood13]

This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. I loved Men At Work, I thought they were a fun, creative, and very talented band, and Colin Hay's voice made their sound so unique.

[@lambros6]

I caught colin singin this on scrubbs the other night. What a voice. One of the best to come out of Britain.

[@francoiscrance4134]

[@TheSimonved]

Colin Hay is just a normal cool guy, playing awesome songs. And that's why you have to love him.

[@orion8251]

Best version of this song that I've ever heard!

[@visualdyes]

Saw him last night (on his 1st ever show in Maine). He does tell as many stories as he plays songs, but I would not have it any other way). Thoroughly entertaining! I have loved him since Business As Usual & he has only gotten better with age!!

[@whyteyj]

love this haunting version

[@lorrettalewis1766]

brilliant just brilliant ! Never gets old this song.

[@germoloney8553]

This version is absolutely brilliant... Gifted

[@musicismysanctuary275]

Thank you Mr. Hay for sharing your gift and your truly amazing talent.

[@djlumimies]

Such a likable man, and that voice is so trademark.

[@MrJamesartist]

once a fan always a fan. Men At Work will always be a part of my life till I die. James Artist

[@freemarketeer67]

Colin performed a great show in Rockland, Maine last night. He was very funny and guitar playing was superb, not to mention his great voice which came through nicely at the Strand. Thanks for a great nite Colin!! Off to Dylan/Leon Russell on Sat.

[@MAHARDWAY]

Talented man , on both the 6 and 12 string ...not many can equal , then , their's that voice thing ...100% pure God Given Talent ....... that most really don't have .......

[@BriBeast8566]

Incredible! I think I like this better than the original!

[@didjeridu100]

What a beautiful version of this wonderful song. This is difinitely a version making me think of good times and what I want to do in life. Thank you for this live acoustic version - very very nice.

[@declanfrew4319]

The sound of his guitar is just wonderful

[@aviadmei]

I adore this song in every shape or version possible! and I am more more than anxious to see in my own eyes the great continent - THE DOWN UNDER!!!!!

[@drumtavo]

THIS IS A REALLY COOL VERSION..................WHAT AT FEELING IT GAVE ME........I JUST IMAGINE MYSELF WALKING IN THE AUSTRALIAN DESERT

[@LUVTHEKILLERS]

Saw him last night at World Cafe at the Queen, Wilmington DE. It was moving, I cried at Maggie, and Water over me, laughed and cheered for his soul. loved it.

[@Opozzum91]

I so liked this song, and didn't know it was Colin Hay : D he is awesome!

[@korkmazk]

this song and this version is amazing.

[@Montin83]

He's a genius. This is Beautiful. The Original was Brilliant too, but this is different, and i love it!!!

[@mesbahe]

I never get tired of that story.

[@Jakeornot]

Saw Colin Hay last night too. What an amazing presence he has. What a musician! I only wish recordings were made at the specific shows so that we could hear each unique, unadultered show again. Each performance is unique, and, for my money, I would much rather hear Colin, and others, as raw and straight as I did last night. Forget the added instrumentation and musicians you get on a CD. Give me last night, again, and again, and again.

[@PeterVanDenHogenband]

best version of this song i´ve heard until yet !!! nothing more to say....

[@ozvander]

I went to his show at Soho in Santa Barbara, he was great and a comedian. I recommend his show, a must see.

[@tjhack]

I could support that, he is a national treasure!

[@danmang923]

Never knew a song so upbeat and happy could show so much emotion in this acoustic serious version.

[@CigEconomy]

Wow it's amazing how different this is from the studio version. The studio version is so upbeat and happy and this one is mellow and just gives me chills. Amazing version.

[@jamiet4573]

Love the strumming and chords he starts using around 2:55, it sounds amazing on an acoustic.

[@sugarlandbaby929]

Im so grateful my friend introduced me to Colin Hay.. I love him!!!

[@mcheffey1976]

Colin is hilarious!!! Love It mate!! Colin ROCKS!!! Awesome ...Love your music!!!! Such an awesome Acoustic version i love this!!!!

[@kb04svt]

awsum version of a timeless classic by one of the best singer/songwriters of all time. great guitar work!!

[@swerdna1970]

I saw Colin in Sydney late Sept - brilliant. A legend.

[@tristantupaz]

I would really like to hear more from Colin Hay. He reminds me of Sting of the Police. Their voice simply have the same calibre. Awesome musicians. I thought Colin Hay past away many years ago. I am just happy to know that he is still around!! I've always been a big fan of "Men at Work".

[@smvml89]

I has forgotten about this version. I used to listen to it a lot in college

[@TravellingJamie]

One of the most beautiful combinations of sounds to ever be assembled by man

[@lillygirloflove]

Ok, I cant get enough of this version. Dont get me wrong I love the original I've listened to the video 1K + this week! But this is perfect for those 'kidna' days. I love his voice here....

[@chrizrupt]

[@microbialoreleaching]

Can't get enough of this!

[@AlarusOne]

Beyond awesome, staggering really, just how good this is...and so very pure after all these years.

[@robriley6024]

[@kafemuabet]

This song is the hymn and the seal of the best part of my life...and I got chills from this video.

[@WumboWarrior]

he does a great job at putting a whole new spin on his old classics and still having it equally great

[@TheEsperanza243]

I now love Colin Hay. Only because he performed in Bolivia, where I was born.

[@jwickham65]

If you get a chance to see Colin Hay perform, jump on it. He will blow away every expectation you might have had. This performance is just a sense of the experience.

[@katie343]

One of my fave songs ever!

[@GrumpyCameron]

Colin Hay is the man. This is right up there with his performance of Overkill on Scrubs! Very cool to hear a musician reinterpret his own song and deliver it with such passion. A+!

[@sifilisz0r]

This version of the classic song is just amazing...

[@dobynelms]

Colin Hay is well worth seeing live :)) Very funny and so talented

[@zeldalicious]

Don't care if it's Oz or New Zealand. I just wish I was in in either of them. This guy is awesome.

[@akjoda]

Love the acoustic version. Scottish born but lived in OZ for decades and other members of Men at Work are Aussies. Their career started here. They are an Aussie group. ACDC has Scottish born guys as well....

[@ciano417]

fantastic simply version of the best 80's song

[@kikigboys]

[@asasaserererererere]

This song is so sad... and beautiful. Best version.

Best performer I've seen live

[@weeboys2]

Colin Hay is brilliant!

[@aviadmei]

This song is magical in any possible version!!!!

[@9874col]

a real artist at work,cool

[@Chris689200]

Damn guys this version has to be on spotify! It’s such a masterpiece! Isn’t it possible?? The talent of Colin Hay is such that he is able to outperform his band on his own. I’m really afraid to forget this version that is sadly only available on youtube…

[@Sniper474]

this is going to sound very weird but this is the first time ive listened to this artists and i LOVE this song ive listened to it like 500 times. HES SOOOOOOO GOOD

[@sewajermax]

i think he is the best since eric clapton and the new song "my my my it's a beautiful world" just rocks. thankyou so much . i love yor music. sewajermax.

[@jwickham65]

Its not enough that he has one of the best voices in pop music, that he excels at writing interesting lyrics and melodies, or that he plays a wicked guitar...he's got to be freaking hilarious as well.

[@Billy29163]

One of the most interesting singer of 80-es...long live Colin Hay!!!

[@iansevsek8363]

77 people need their heads checked . Colin hay you get better with age ......like fine wine .

[@realjazz]

[@Hirschi74]

I love that story

[@lillygirloflove]

His stories are so funny! I love all his voices and accents

[@4EVAVIVALARAZA]

i actualy love this version of this song! awesome cover!

[@Maude88]

What an awesome version!!!

[@Purrpussful]

I found this when I went searching for the outcome of the lawsuit over the song and am glad I gave it a listen. Wonderful job, very moving. The lawsuit was totally stupid, given that the Kookaburra song's author was alive when this was a hit and she didn't do anything.

[@garleygunman]

this is simply incredible.....

[@34muggsy34]

Saw him last night. He's amazing!!!

[@heywooddjblowme2174]

Absolutely a great song. I love this acoustic version. I like the moody tone of it.
