So good to see Colin still performing. He clearly loves it, and so do we. This is still great music to my ears, who else agrees?

[@ChippsChippendale]

Just seen him in Manchester. Great show! His solo music (and gigs) are well worth checking out too.

Hell yahh!! I grew up immitating these guys!! Absolute unforgetable magical melodies!! Colin's ma hero and I'm from the islands!! Lol

[@pilsnrimgaard2507]

Colin's voice transcends generations. He truly is a man at work. Live well Colin...you deserve it.

Martes 27 de Febrero de 2024 , Man At Work actuó en el Festival de Viña del Mar de Chile. Colin canta igual despues de 40 años. A sus 70 años aun conserva su calidad vocal, junto a su esposa peruana Cecilia Noel. Su saxofonista, baterista, bajistas , todos, músicos profesionales de primera calidad !! Este grupo es GENIAL !! 👏👏👏👏💞😍😌

[@pablocuneo4611]

Men at Work music is timeless, glad to see Colin keeps it alive.

[@PedroVonWorzelburger]

From a classic Aussie pub in a Melbourne suburb to Redondo Beach, CA. This is why music is beautiful.

[@maxparedes6259]

Colin's voice is another instrument, very unique. It's amazing he sounds just the same as 40 years ago. Incredible singer and one of the best bands of the 80s.

[@maico450]

In the '80's, I sort of poo-pooed 80's music having just come out of the late 60's & 70's. But now, looking and listening back, I am really loving the 80's sound. And Colin Hay is a true gem musically and an excellent, funny story teller!

[@DjJoshua.B]

*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*

[@heathernewcomb8758]

Colin Hay is criminally underrated in my opinion!

[@lisasmith1850]

not in my book. He's tops.

[@kevinmcgiffin10]

Hasn't lost his voice range. Keep playin Colin love listening\ watchin you all 👍✌🇺🇸

[@geofffitz1497]

Overkill is on my top ten desert island songs. A masterpiece.

[@trueknowledgeispower]

'It's A Mistake',..............sounded very close to the recorded version for a live performance.......amazing after 35 years.

[@achtungbaby91u26]

Colin Hayes still got it! Unfortunately for the rest of the show it just wasn't good, this bad was very low budget and did not compliment Colin at all

[@isaiaslimadesouza1]

I think the same....Will we have a new album ???

[@thomaspick4123]

One of my favorite anti war songs.

[@mickwilliams910]

I think you need to clean your ears. The solo is wrong.

[@pacboe]

and it has to be said- the beautiful saxophonist really paid hommage to Mr Greg Ham- thankyou!

If only today's hit parade 'songs' had even a fraction of the structure and well thought out lyrics of these Colin Hay gems. Really nice to see Colin is still performing them live. His new songs are great too.

[@darrencoles4894]

He still sounds the same, I will never for the rest of my days tire of listening to these great 80’s tunes. So grateful for my teenage years in the 80’s. Thank you Men at Work, thank you Colin from moving to Melbourne all the way from Scotland as a kid. We owe a big thanks to many Scottish lads moving to Aus & providing us great music, it will never grow old.

[@franco87rf69]

Well said. If the same way awesome teenage years the 80ths still and will always rule

[@michaelkelly1251]

Somebody who never gets enough mention Scheila Gonzalez. Note for note spot on, anywhere she plays, saw her live in a Zappa does Zappa concert, and those songs are not simple to put it mildly, and every note while performing was correct and to the song. There are few who can do that on a saxophone (Reed instrument) Somebody needed to say it.!

[@scootpittmantv]

Agree 💯

[@peterpedersen1641]

Exactly Mike. I have seen her play with Dweezil a handful of times. She plays everything PERFECTLY!!! Keep your eyes out for her stuff. Of course, she is always IN when Dweezil calls. As a guitar player, I work out all of Colin's acoustic guitar work. He is a true poet, and artist of sculpting guitar parts. Duh... right?

[@lysanderofsparta3708]

Along with Stan Ridgway and Dave Wakeling, Colin Hay is one of the few performers from the early '80's who doesn't look and sound ridiculous performing his old songs 35+ years later. His voice still sounds great too.

[@stoojinator]

There's heaps of bands/artists from the early 80s who are touring and still sound fantastic and don't look ridiculous at all!

I saw Men At Work at the City Limits nightclub in Devonport, Tasmania early in 1981. They opened with Down By The Sea. Hearing it again so many years later is just amazing.

[@michaelknapp8961]

The guy sounds exactly like he did back in the 80s!! I also love the fact his wife joins him on stage.

Thanks to his excellent documentary I have become a Colin Hay fan like never before. This vibrant artist still resonates. Colin thank you for not giving up. Your songwriting is beyond inspirational. Forgive us idiots who lost our way.

Wow this is really recent. So happy to see Colin performing.

Manuel Arturo Gomez Morales I saw him play in 2017, then again last night at a beautiful Cathedral in Seattle! 35 years after Men at Work’s heyday he’s still great. His acoustic guitar work and vocals are just amazing.

Love how the sound guy pushed the lead guitar over the awesome sax solo in Who can it be now. That sucks when a sound tech doesn't know the material.

[@RollingRigTraction]

Hahahaha, bloody Redondo Beach! I went there as a highschool senior in 1993, the 3 top automotive students from my state district in Davis County Utah got to go to the Long Beach Grand Prix. Just broke up with my sophomore craycray"girlfriend" the week of Prom. And I didn't care, never intended to go to Prom. The trip to Long Beach was long by charter bus but SO WORTH IT! I met Vic Edelbrock and he showed me his personal collection of cars and how Edelbrock makes parts. I had the opportunity to drive a Vector W8 which was insane! $10,000 paint job and the world's fastest production car then!

The great thing about the ocean is that its full of waves. Colin caught a BIG one early on, it was short but HUGE. Then the ride came to a huge crash and he wiped out and swam to shore. Later, after he got the will to swim again, he made it back out, this time with a longer board and caught a smaller wave, only, this wave would be a sweet, slow and wonderful long ride. Count your BLESSINGS, they are your ASSETS and what will give you the perspective to keep trying. I'm happy that Colin figured it all out and just let the wave push instead of trying to swim against the current. Don't sweat the negative stuff, it was only ever there to test you and make you lose focus on the beauty and simplicity of how great life can be when we just stop thinking so much. GOD is LOVE and he wins in the end.
