Men at Work - Down by the Sea ( Live' 83 )

[@WilliamKinsey-dx2dn]

It touches my heart to see how many men love this song as much as me!🥹

[@lancerx1759]

This is why you should listen to albums front to back

[@jimevert7099]

Absolutely correct. It's become my favorite on the album

[@thedvondud181]

It's probably the best ending I've heard on any album

[@kamikazitsunami]

I was an abused kid growing up and before I got my driver's license I would take my car to La Jolla cliffs and watch the waves crash against the rocks below me while listening to this song. It helped me decompress from my life. It's still holds special meaning for me even though I've long been healed from the past.

[@rhylschermatz5809]

LA JOLLA, the beautifull Salk institute building.... With this song in the ears....A taste of .... Magic, Jack Vance, liberty.....Too big for me......

[@rhylschermatz5809]

I'd like to see Salk Institute building, listening this wonderfull song.It should be a magik moment for me.

[@JL-qo1hg]

You will always get on with healing; you're so brilliant to discover this little piece of art. Best part - there is more refuge in music

[@JL-qo1hg]

Thumbs up for happier times👍

[@JL-qo1hg]

Sorry made a stupid comment a few weeks ago

[@michaelrichmond3315]

This could be the most therapeutic song of all time

[@luizfelipenevescosta2596]

No music like this anymore! What a trip

[@shirleypena4133]

IMHO this is not only one of the very best Men at Work songs, but one of the best songs from the 1980s, period. I'll never understand how it never makes any lists of the best Men at Work songs. It's a stunning song on all levels!

[@rheish]

This band never got the credit they deserved. AWESOME musicianship.

[@williamkinsey4979]

One if the greatest songs ever written❤

[@senorfunball]

Sooo good,bass and drum heaven 🤠👍

[@SuperPhil1960]

so under rated, so much more than Down Under, so much talent

[@sebastienvitali1292]

88k views? Seriously? This should be millions views. Best song from that band. Poesy for the ears and what an atmosphere they created in that live performance.

[@brendav7]

Aaaaaah - bliss - Colin's voice is just out of this world :)

[@rhylschermatz5809]

Yes, out of our World. You are so wright.

[@chrislindberg9821]

This song takes me way back!

[@paulscott4883]

Worth it to be old now, to have been young then. Awesome

[@newwavedaveultimate80s98]

This was always my favorite Men at Work song and it never got any play. Too long I guess for the radio. People really missed out on a lot of what they did.

[@roberthamel3241]

Fuck yeah.

[@hubertvale5132]

Evocative and haunting in its beauty. One of my favorite MAW songs.

[@TylerBergstrom-br4jx]

Man what a solid performance

[@shirleypena4133]

This is a simply STUNNING live performance; the great Greg Ham really SHINES here! Today is the 2nd anniversary of Greg's death. He left us all too soon! :'(

[@thomasferrigno4343]

Z

[@davidkosach3095]

How did he die ? Yes gone to soon.

[@warchild4081]

These guys were so ahead of their time. My favorite song of theirs. So mellow.

[@thedvondud181]

The bass guitar is out of this world ahead of its time,dudes doing primus style stuff

[@MrJamesartist]

Men At Work Is one of the greatest 80s Bands ever. I hate that Greg is gone. Thats why I started a tribute Band. I loved there music from day one when I first heard them. Use to friggin go to sleep with a jam box to my ear when I was a kid Listening to them.

[@marcchapleau8343]

I love that song. Its on my portable audio player. I walk and do my workout while listening to great pieces of music such as this one.

[@Baritone45]

4:07 RIP Greg Ham!

[@DidYouReadEULA]

Jerry tearing that kit up and the director is missing all those tasty fills. Drumming tour de force and masterclass.

[@kevinohare9216]

Well, we did catch a couple of interesting ones in the last minute. But I would definitely love a whole video focused solely on him.

[@stevestruthers6180]

I've always loved this song. Wonderfully atmospheric with incredible wintertime and maritime imagery.

[@cassianoreis2690]

It's a pitty that Greg Ham is gone :(. He was one of the pillars of Men At Work. His "intro riff" of Overkill is unforgettable

[@andrewshackleford832]

See him doing three things at once with his drumstick, cowbell, sax and keyboards?

[@tomdillistone6635]

DAMN ... what a great Summer this was ... ...

[@aaronosheroff2980]

I always thought Jerry’s drumming was just incredible. And his drums sound amazing.

[@neilprague]

One of the most amazing under rated bands of the 80s Colin Hayes voice is still haunting.

[@garethharrison5797]

The two massive hits overshadowed everything on that album apart from this utter beauty. What a song!

[@thomasgatrell2519]

hauntingly mesmerising sticks to your soul like a good wine

[@TATER1971]

RIP Greg Ham

[@Techn9cian123]

1983 was a good year for Aussies. They became the very first country to win the America’s Cup.

[@johnnyowen5120]

Colin Hay & Men at Work!! Nothing more to say" Who can it be Now"! Nuff said!

[@bonoyass]

I just love everything, his voice, everything! This song made me nostalgic

[@GaryfromMemphis]

one of my favorite bands from the days when MTV was worth listening to.

[@chrislindberg9821]

I loved listening to Men At Work from grade school until they broke up when I stated high school. Great band! Too bad that Greg Ham has since passed away.

[@Instigator531]

I was in awe seeing Colin and his new Men at Work band play this song a couple of months ago. His voice is still incredible!

[@WilliamKinsey-dx2dn]

I saw him at Maleny pure genius!

[@martinjohncameron]

This is one of my 'Desert Island Discs'. Love it.

[@kennbennett9453]

Men at Work continue to be one of the most underrated musical acts ever. Amazing songwriting and performing.

[@kingrhoton]

The best song off a great album.

[@josecarrasco3378]

Beyond classic rock !!! I was lucky to see them play in Vegas at the Freemont experience .. thanks to the band and most of all ..Collin hay ! Muahhhh !!!

[@timgillette8608]

Saw Colin in March 2024 in Atlanta nice 1600 seat theater he was solo and acoustic guitars. Told good stories between songs worked with Beatles after they broke up

[@PistolPete77]

"F-19," which is the instrumental B-Side of 'Be Good Johnny,' starts at 6:17

[@chrisswansborough3277]

Thank you

[@SoberIrishman]

Colin and the group were such a huge part of my 80s and 90s. His voice and writing talent is very underrated, even today. Sting doesn't even match it and i give Sting much appreciation.

[@marklewis4184]

That saxophone tho 💕💕💕

[@bonscotty67]

One of the most beautiful voices to ever grace the airwaves

[@JL-qo1hg]

Who? Colin Haye?

[@bonscotty67]

@@JL-qo1hg Yes. I put him right there with Steve Perry, Brad Delp, Paul Rodgers, and many others. His technique is very unique and well crafted. Technically sound and squares every note. And this is before auto-tune.

[@popal7408]

I remember this and how fresh it sounded. The instrumental number is so Excellent!

[@beauspencer7994]

San Jose, CA. "83...hello Julie West. For a moment there Men At Work were right with The Police as far as popularity...they owned Mtv. They were able to Catch a Star, and in the process Touch the Untouchables...all before it became Overkill. i always thought Dave Matthews Band would do an excellent cover of Down by Sea (*LIVE & only live). Sadly. just as Greg...Leroi has passed on, they both played the sax with such a haunt. Like a distant train far in the horizon. I like to imagine the two have met, and were introduced by the arch angel Gabriel, and now do gigs at a bar called "Heaven". That would be simply...Red.

[@djizzah]

Wow, seeing this clip I realize what outstanding musicians the guys were to get such a brilliant sound live. Probably only someone from Melbourne would understand the "yonnies in the wind", and "putting out the bins" reference..not sure where the word for small throwing shaped stones," yonnies" came from.

[@alicegirard3373]

Awesome bass 😮❤

[@pacootero2351]

Down by the sea live.. a dream come true. What an atmosphere the song has from beginning to end - followed by F19 with the great Greg Ham sax solo. timeless. If you seek escape from your daily routine this a great watch. Thanks so much for posting!

[@Jondsmusic]

This is a great and underrated song! I love the beach! Jerry needed to wear a shirt though.

[@kevinmcgiffin10]

One of my favorite men at work songs and they nailed it live. Down by the sea aahhh!

[@ezernut9mm]

for some reason i think they took this way more seriously than was expected. quite incredible really. great musicians. all of them.

[@kevinwright7617]

I was just thinking about "yonnies". What about getting hit by one and then throwing a "wobbly"?

[@mrfunball5204]

That's how you play a big ass drum set ! 🐴

[@dawnoleary4907]

I love Men at Work you mean so much 💘

[@ricktheitalianrebel6687]

I love their sound and the use of the sax

[@patrickcostello4146]

What I love about this band is how they are so cohesive, always working as a team.

[@gabrielmontanhini3120]

10 MINUTOS DE PURA VIAGEM NO TEMPO

[@fredclear4069]

good audio for 83!

[@Sudaka_rtes]

I remember that feeling, was love, with 16 yrs. That time ´´Business as Usual´´ was on my playlist, everyday, from ´´Who can it be Now´´ to ´´Down by the Sea´´, just was a teenager, and this record made my year! It´s nice listening once again!

[@adrianorodriguezmelo799]

Espectacular!! 1983 a los 16 mayos...hoy todavía

[@jonathanspratling5469]

Damn, those boys were good.

[@montrealrockhotel8986]

One of my favorite songs Thanks

[@dawnoleary4907]

Colin ❤❤❤❤❤

[@thomasgatrell2519]

fantastic, superb and timeless

[@nealefrazer4247]

Greg Ham...just brilliant musician..taken too soon ..Colin's right hand man....much respect

[@markjamesmeli2520]

As a kid, I didn't want to go to the concert alone in 1983, and I was saving my money to catch the American Hollies tour with Graham Nash that year. Like a fool, I just thought; "well, I'll catch them next year."

[@jiujitsu77]

i would play this song at night with my wolf hybrid pup I had at the time and fall asleep. so many wonderful memories of this band and that time

[@jeffsayler464]

Just think what it was like listening to this when it was brand new in junior college around 1983. Also huey lewis. High School some Rick Springfield. Quarter flash.

[@josephcardwell7182]

Damn I forgot just how damn good these guys were !!!

[@kevinwright7617]

I never forget.

[@cartulio]

WHAT ATMOSPHERE WHAT GROUP WHAT CREATIVITY WHAT A VOICE ❤❤❤❤

[@pdbordelon]

Such a beautiful song...Im so happy it was written and in the world!

[@TheGrossMeta]

For some reason, its really exciting watching Strykert on bass

[@jcolvin73]

The last bit of this toward 10 min mark is the beginning of a song called Shintaro. It was a B side from the album Cargo

[@JohnSmith-mw2hh]

the instrumental F19, then Shintaro. Would've liked to hear all of it. You couldn't go wrong with any of their songs!

[@acoolerhandle]

@@JohnSmith-mw2hh I'm pretty sure the full concert is on youtube somewhere.

[@marklewis4184]

Still listening in covid 2020..banging 💕💕

[@Fred-mx6cu]

This is a masterpiece

[@JB-tr6nu]

One of my favorite songs and often wondered if guitar intro was a bass or 6 string its the rhythm guitarist on bass tuned to higher octave. Sounds very cool 😎 ❤

[@gregorydavid5872]

Can't imagine seeing these guys perform this at some outdoor venue that summer would have been a low point.

[@luiscordoba5636]

Genial uno de mis favoritos gracias desde Piura Perú

[@TheStuport]

Always loved The Dual Double Bass Sound in this tune!

[@jackdumpster8657]

Excellent! Thank you so much for sharing! I really wish all MAW audio was on CD, and all MAW video footage was on DVD. They could put out different volumes of each, depending on what they find in various vaults. I'll even accept digital downloads if the music and video companies insist that that's the only way they'll do it. But give MAW fans the option to pay for more material from this truly special rock band. Free MAW footage on youtube is wonderful, and it makes me wonder what else is in the vault.

[@mikejones-di8qk]

I hope when it's my time to take my last steps this will be the song playing in my head.

[@roxiboxi1]

Fantastici...il drum il basso la voce ...boaa..thanx

[@starletohara1631]

Fantastic!This is probably my favorite concert of theirs,from Toronto in 1982.The whole show was incredible,and this was one of the best parts of it.Love watching Greg shaking his booty on "F-19" and playing the cowbell!😎

[@jbear4910]

Very under rated song.

[@gmanhirt8818]

its quiet when the tides low.

[@toddstephens9129]

Great

[@dyllicarray2266]

We love you, MAW! I was 11 in '83 and there was talk about them coming to my home town in Batavia, NY (to play at the local horse-track's venue), but it didn't pan out for what would've been my 1st Rock show. Nevertheless, I recommend this under-rated band whenever possible to music-lovers and friends alike

[@frankolsson6130]

Beautiful

[@AbnerRivLop]

Woah! Finally too much time past, my favorite last memorable songs studying young boy on a primary school

[@pacootero2351]

miss them so much... so amazing they played these two songs together

[@WilliamKinsey-dx2dn]

My only criticism is this feels like not the end of the performance and it should be!

[@tedkay_music]

Great song!

[@OzricClown]

Agreed! One of the greatest songs of the 80's...How I remember seeing this live at Th Universal Ampitheater ....what a treat.. by far the best song on the LP

[@ppp1957]

one of my favorite songs

[@BigTez40]

Memories

[@rafaelbaraldo9526]

Temazo!!
