Colin Hay - Who Can it Be Now / Down Under (1988 live soundcheck)

[@pete2sash]

I'm my opinion Colin has never got the recognition he should have.. great writer, great voice and guitarist.

[@phillipfry9765]

Probably because Men at Work's career wasn't so extensive as, let's say, The Police's.

[@weburnitatbothends]

Love him, he was and still is a great writer voice and dunno about guitarist but he is a fucking legend, would prefer Col as PM more than Scotty from Marketing

[@scotabot7826]

Couldn't agree with you more!!!! Colin is a very talented musician/writer/composer!!!!!

[@sssnakeplisskin3867]

Great comment I totally agree and they took them to court over "kukaburra sits in an old gumtree riff ffs bullshit"

[@lancelange9377]

@@weburnitatbothends He's actually quite a good guitar player. This isn't a great showcase of that.

This is priceless. Who ever recorded and saved this, must be honored with some kind of life achievement award. Thank u.

[@michaelmendoza9214]

If you notice the original drummer, bassist and lead guitarist are all gone here. Story is the drummer was fired abruptly, bassist quit, and guitarist just went AWOL. Sad story for one of the greatest bands of all time, accomplished a lifetime of work in only four years.

[@badmonkey2222]

Your right, original drummer was fired for reasons unknown, bass player was on his side whatever it was and quit in protest, are rumors the guitarist had a drug problem just disappeared. Greg quit halfway through this tour and that was that. The rumor is is that Colin was difficult to impossible to work with they said that his ego just went out of control, I think the drummer confronted him about it and got fired which led to everybody else leaving. It is sad because nobody in that band was replaceable as you see here Colin tried to replace them and it just wasn't happening, that's why Greg quit in the middle of the tour I saw an interview he just said that he couldn't do it anymore without his friends and he just wasn't feeling it.....RIP Greg Hamm.

[@leehackett1614]

Was that just the sound check? Wow. Just wow

[@acw072]

Greg Ham just swaps instruments like toys, had enough of that one, now I'll try this one lol, R.I.P

[@RangKlos]

I'll buy a ticket to their soundcheck anytime.

How BORING this has to be. These guys have played this song probably 1000's of times. Then they have to play it here warming up in front of NOBODY the WHOLE thing to 🤯🤯

It's amazing the fact this video was recorded in 1988 and has a great quality. This is so epic.

Major props to Greg Ham on sax. Those have to be the most infectious notes in any 80's pop song.

[@darby_hudson]

"EEEEEYYEEYYAAAH!" the jewel in the crown

[@liquidbraino]

That is one of the coolest saxophone parts ever written. This song is the reason I started playing Saxophone when I was twelve years old.

[@F1dude71]

The sax is like a vocal, mimicking exactly Colin, note for note

[@garychambers5850]

I love the Sax... Ima guitarist/Keyboardist. But I want to learn the Sax, Is it hard to learn?

[@liquidbraino]

@@garychambers5850 It's a little weird because it's not like a piano or guitar where all the notes are in order and there's also an octave key near your left thumb so if you want to play the same key in a higher octave you hit that key with your thumb. Also with a piano you just hit the key and get a good sound. With sax there's a certain way you have to bite down on the mouthpiece and if your "Embouchure" is off you're gonna make a lot of bad squeaky noises. It's not really that hard to be honest but I don't think it's something you could really just pick up and teach yourself to play. It's best to find a teacher but once you DO learn the basics your fingers just know where to go and you can make amazing sounds. It's a really fun and kind of sexy instrument to play.

[@jimzeleny7213]

[@aujay]

It's almost like that era now seems like a completely different reality or a alternate planet in another galaxy....everything seems so strange yet wonderfully light and carefree... unlike 2020 or maybe i'm just getting old and wanting to recapture my youth. I do remember the late 80's and while they were truly amazing for music of many genres - overall i don't recall them being this damn good!

[@rjl727]

Well said true in many ways.life was alot simpler back then no mobiles computer ect ,people actually talked to each other.a different time good memories. We are all aging annd long for our youthful ways and energy lol. Respect
