[@biscuitsandgravy7360]

Speiser was great at mr entertainer ;P

[@patricktopps4397]

BiscuitsAndGravy -> Agreed ! Very underrated musician, he was truly born to play drums.... "Mr. Entertainer" is by far my favorite song the guy's played but "Catch a Star" -> "Dr. Heckle & Mr. Jive" were right up there for me too.... I just wish they'd of had more time together as a band because there was alotta talent up there & I'd of loved to seen them & their material after a good 10+ years together past the 96' - 97' tours.... Thanks so much for the DL's, the turn-on & "the Kind"... 👣

[@SoberIrishman]

Jerry Speiser was a monster...as a fellow drummer...i salute u

I'm 22 years old and people have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about when I say men at work is one of my favourite bands from that era

[@philbeats44time]

Brilliant band. One of the most underestimated groups ever. The drummer is just bliss his feel for the song is just awesome ( the track Down by the sea 👌👌👌drum fills just beautiful) 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lesprice4227]

WOW!!!! WHAT A GIG, 5 VERY TALENTED YOUNG MEN. THANKS SCOTLAND, THANKS AUSTRALIA, MEN AT WORK ROCKED PLANET EARTH, THANKS COLIN FOR THE GREAT SONGS, THANK ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR FANTASTIC MUSIC. YOU CAN LISTEN TO CARGO AND BUSINESS AS USUAL TODAY AND STILL GET HIGH ON THE CLASSIC MUSIC ON THOSE ALBUMS. WISH THEY COULD ALL BE IN LONDON ENGLAND TOMORROW FOR THE O2 GIG BUT I KNOW IT CANNOT HAPPEN....... THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS GREAT CONCERT ON KZbin, THANKS KZbin FOR THE BEST SITE ON THE INTERWEB THINGYMEBOB. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. FANS OF MAW LOVE THE SONGS AND ENJOY ALL THE VIDEOS. WORLDWIDE SUCCESS BACK IN THE DAY.... LOVE UM. SAY NO MORE.

[@lankylankster7148]

The opening track is KILLER. Were these guys aware of how fucking AWESOME they were at the time (esp. Colin Hay, the backup vocalist and that powerhouse drummer)? Total pros, and such a UNIQUE and refreshing/relaxing/catchy sound. Nearly 40 years later and my opinion remains unchanged, regardless of the legions of bands since. LL

[@larryandheather]

Man, these guys were a tight ensemble. Hay's superlative vocals, Speiser drumming his ass off, Ham with those great sax riffs, and Rees & Strykert were consummate pros as well. Just such a polished sound. This is one of those concerts that sounds like a studio album. They just don't make bands like this anymore.

[@williamjohnson9505]

I saw Men at Work & INXS at the Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan on August 22, 1983. It was the best $13.00 I ever spent!

[@skoatgoat8669]

I was there too. First concert ever for me

[@davidletterman7786]

Song for song, one of the greatest bands ever.

[@dennistaylor3713]

I agree

[@davidletterman7786]

Dennis Taylor I've been listening to these guys for like a week straight. And Colin Hay solo. So good. I've been in an Australian mood.

[@dennistaylor3713]

+david letterman not a bad mood to be in lol men at work is always good seen greg and Colin in Atlantic city back in late 90s

[@davidletterman7786]

[@thurgooddukes5119]

very true

[@starletohara1631]

Damn straight. He was also very cute. 😊

[@nicklarge007]

Went to see Colin in 2013 on my birthday, and he signed my ticket with "happy Birthday" and dated it, Top, Top Bloke!!

[@teslabot3149]

"I Can See It in Your Eyes" - forever ingrained in the story of my youth.. an incredible time indeed...

[@small_ed]

+tesla BOT Excellent choice for an opening number, too!

[@Vetteman6363]

Best song ever! An best times!

[@philippus67]

Agree, same here...

[@jimbailey5681]

@Fender Player: Men At Work had five major hits and couple of minor hits in the U.S. between 1982-1985.

[@teslabot3149]

""Winter kisses when your lips were bluuue.. Like chasing wild geese in the snow.."". Oh man, IM STILL IN LOVE WITH THIS STUFF!!! Presses all my buttons...

[@mancuniancandidatem]

There is something about MAW that reminds me of African (Jit or township ? ) music. The way Ron's and Colin's guitars work together with Jon's bass and Jerry's drums on Mr Entertainer gets me everytime.. That high voice with beautiful resonance whilst still maintaining a real depth to his tone. Colin's vibrato is just killer. The way he approaches modal melodies always flaws me. Love the way he lands on notes and doesn't always resolve to the most obvious choices. It gives the melodies a real angular shape. Not to mention, Greg's wonderful flute and sax adding a balance to Colin's voice. His percussion and synth also really adds great atmospheric timbres to the whole sound.

[@yawningdogge]

I recorded this concert to cassette from a live radio broadcast When I was 14. Wore the cassette out listening to it and never got tired of it. Been looking for it ever since. Today was a good day. Thank you Misha Gold.

Song for song, one of the best hours of music in existence. Men At Work forever!! RIP Greg Ham

Jerry Speiser one great drummers and time keeper for a great band

[@Vetteman6363]

“See it in your eyes” drums r amazing one of the best drummers for sure!

[@VictorNickel]

Australian drummers have excellent time I tend to notice

[@SoberIrishman]

Yes agreed.....from a drummer of RUSH

[@charlienorton2337]

@Atomic Duck Phil Rudd is australian

[@rainthebudgie4313]

On Who Can It Be Now?, no one claps at guitar, screams when Greg Ham comes in, everyone loves the saxophone! 🎷 Also, Greg hits his head on the knock knock knock knock part.

[@haro82]

it's sad that their run was so short. truly talented and a very unique sound.

[@vegavairbob]

+haro82 Quality, not quanity

[@brenner5147]

+haro82 Colin Hay is great even now. I'm seeing him in July.

[@daveidmarx8296]

So true. It's really depressing to think how good these guys were on their first two albums, but just could NOT get along with each other to keep it going. And I'm not counting the third "Men At Work" album from 1985 that didn't even have John & Jerry on it and had Ron in a very limited role. This was a true BAND, as is evidenced from this video. The interplay between all of them during this show (especially on "Mr. Entertainer") incredible. It's a real shame that they couldn't reconvene at the end of '83 (or beginning of '84) and record a new album with some of the great new songs they were playing in concert during '83 (like The Longest Night, Coldfinger and Falling Down). Those three songs still had that MAW magic all over them. A new album with songs of that caliber would have definitely kept the hits coming for the group instead of relegating them to being more or less a footnote in rock history.

[@patrickryan959]

agree

[@murheimsyrt9777]

Not only that, unique and so far no band came close to the true vibe they brought to the 80s... Don't know man but I miss this in the current days although I was born in 1995...

[@bigwhsky]

I'm a huge prog fan but this is perfect early 80's rock. Good playing, good drumming, really good songs - I read somewhere in a review that this 'filled The Police void' for a time, but I call shenanigans. Men At Work was fucking awesome all on it's own...

[@markdouglas9182]

Some of it even has an early 80's King Crimson vibe...

[@tastethecakewebb2111]

I bought their first album when I was 11 (now 44), loved it then, and I still love it today and play regularly! Saw them live in 1985 in Perth - I was only a kid around 12 who looked 9, and Colin signed his autograph for me..The lyrics, music composition, everything on Business as Usual is amazing! People still remember I was a huge MAW fan whenever i go to school reunions - funny! Thanks Colin for the music. RIP Greg.

[@bonoyass]

tastethecake webb Ohh,that's great! I wish his autograph :( Of all Men At Work 😔

[@tastethecakewebb2111]

Daniel Smith I'm an INXS fan as well - they had a huge backlog and released a lot more, yes I agree. Hutchence much more of a 'showman' in some ways than Hay. INXS much more cohesive with band members compared to MAW: hence their staying power. Have you listened to all 3 MAW albums? Although the last one was way over produced, I think they wrote more than one decent song! Basically I think they were a fantastic band in their own right (although shortlived) and had a totally different outlook to INXS therefore hard to compare.

[@edclark550]

This is Men at Work at their best...original members as far as I know...what a great band and show!

[@______ai5158]

Yep! Missing Greg Sneddon, but he left in ‘79 if I remember correctly.

[@robertcarli1969]

@@______ai5158 this concert was amazing ! What a band.

[@dr.know-it-all5148]

Great drummer. Perfect timing. Every bit as good as Copeland.

[@jimvandemoter6961]

I'm watching this in 2019 and it has less than 250,000 views. That's too bad, these guys deserve so much more. They were an amazing band.

[@davidcooper960]

I'll never forget where I was and what I was doing when I first heard, "Down Under." It was late 1982, the song grabbed me by the brain instantly, I tore through a crowded club dance floor in Oslo straight up to the DJ and yelled, "Who IS that?" Not many tunes have affected me that immediately or that intensely. Still love this band.

[@TooHounds]

I love this band so much

[@thewatchboys]

I use to listen to this concert when it first aired on Pay TV, here in Toronto. We couldn't afford the "pay" part of the service, so I could only listen the audio portion. Once in a while the scrambled signal would become clear. I would get excited, but it would only last a minute or less. Got to see them, live, in Tornoto when they opened for INXS. Good times...

[@dasboot6935]

Wow, I'm in my 20s again, even if just for a little while. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of concert's and even got a job as event staff for some years. But I regret never having seen this group. I just seemed to miss them usually because of girlfriend's. Girls really screwed me out of seeing a lot of concert's when I was younger. I guess that's why I never married. Damn girls, can't live with them and you can't go to concert's with your buddies if you got em.... Colin Hay had the voice that made the band unique imho!

[@longdrivehome4185]

Outstanding concert. I remember taping this same concert onto beta. lol My friend was obsessed with this group and I was obsessed with The Police. We must have watched this concert a zillion times. We knew it word for word same with The Police Synchronicity concert filmed in Montreal. She eventually won tickets to see Men at Work after calling into the local radio station. After the concert we ran outside and waited near the underground parking ramp at the arena waiting for Colin Hay to drive by in his Limo lol

[@carlwoodard7276]

I saw this tour, most dont realize he also plays the leads. A legend

[@robertallport4067]

Awesome band...the music will never die..and Colin is still rocking :)

[@daveidmarx8296]

I remember watching this concert on Nickelodeon around 1983. I recorded the audio onto an 8-track, which I still have!

[@gerriepimm5063]

Saw them on this tour in Glasgow. Colin came home 😀

[@RanchoRelaxoArg]

R.I.P. Greg Ham.-

[@srdjanjapanmusic5817]

Rest in Heavenly Peace, good mate, Greg Ham (((

[@Tuie1956]

I loved him on the sax and the flute. So talented, amazing musician.

[@randyeorr]

Ham was found dead on 19 April 2012 at his home in Carlton North, Melbourne, under mysterious circumstances. Though several newspapers listed his cause of death as a heart attack, the cause of death still remains a mystery. There have been allegations he died after a long battle with heroin addiction. Though his cause of death is still being debated, it's known that he was despondent over the copyright lawsuit filed against him and the members of Men At Work, for allegedly using a few bars from "Kookaburra" without permission for the flute riff in "Down Under". F*k Larrikin Music,

[@VirtuaFighterRPG]

I owned their Live in San Francisco Or Was it Berkley on VHS. It was one of the satisfying live shows I've watched. Learned a lot musically from this band.

[@carloseugenio1406]

[@cartulio]

What a drummer!

[@computergeek3470]

Outstanding all around ... amazing range in the vocals of Colin Hay, great drums, wonderful sax, guitars, etc. ... they had soo many great hits, but the radio stations would only play 3 of them: Down Under, Who Can It Be Now, and It's a Mistake ... it's a shame they couldn't have stayed together longer, but that's show business ...

[@phdlyrics]

Great Concert!!!! The Best Music of the 80's!!!!

[@rabmorrison3484]

Men at Work. Midnight Oil. Both bands emerged and tore a hole in the industry. Made their mark and will always be remembered because you never forget the time you first heard them. Don't deny it, you know I'm right.
