I agree with the comment about Ron Strykert - if you ever play guitar you realize how good his solo playing is on this song - fantastic! Having the chance to see them live and Ron's playing on this number, I can only admire his prowess. I also always felt it was a pity that Greg Ham did not want to tour the US, so he missed some of the accolades he deserved. Loved his flute playing.
I am very sad for Greg's too-early demise...he was wronged, even though he technically admitted to ripping off the Kookaburra theme song, I think everyone would agree that Down Under sounds nothing like Kookaburra, and I wish he was back, the Brian Jones (multi-instrumentalist) of Men at Work!
With happy memories, let's all remember the late sax/flue/organ/piano/synthesizer player Gregory Norman Ham 09/27/53 - 04/19/12. Lost but not forgotten.
Greg is adorable! It breaks my heart that he's not around anymore...I loved MAW since I was little and my whole family loved their music 🎶 They are THE best!!
Totally agree! I had such a HUGE crush on Greg when I was a teenager...and it never totally went away. The original lineup of MAW is still my all-time favorite band.☺
@@starletohara1631 Yes, it is so devastating! I believe he died of a broken heart... literally and figuratively. I was really moved by his song "Still Life"!
@@ladysnowman5950 You and I are on the same wavelength! I too believe that he died of a broken heart, as a result of the ridiculous lawsuit, the end of his marriage, the deaths of his father and sister, and the unfortunate idea he had that people were only going to remember him "for copying something". Which, of course, is not true at all. I also love "Still Life"; he sings it with such emotion that I can't help wondering if he is singing about something that happened in his own life. I guess he was a very private person, so we will probably never know the real meaning behind the song, but I too am very moved by it.☺
Don't get me wrong I am pissed that the camera was on Greg for such a tiny amount of time but that unnecessarily long zoom in on Colin while he makes direct eye contact with the camera has me laughing my ass off
is that why it has under 100k views because of that then why are you threatning the camera man? like if two cameras were operated at the same time on colins and ron then it would been great
Strykert is playing a great solo and the camera is on Colin. Greg is singing lead and the camera is on Colin. Speiser is playing some killer drum parts and only gets any screen time because Colin is standing in front of him. Meanwhile, Colin's guitar part was so simplistic that he was playing it with one hand. hahaha ridiculous.
Agree! Camera almost entirely focused on Hay ---should've featured Ron Strykert lead guitar and Ham on vocals. Even the performance, Hay played a tape of Strykert's main solo. Hay kept gesturing his head to Ron but the camera never moved off of Hay.
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 Yeah, what's up with that?? Ron's guitar solo on this song is the stuff of legend, and Colin gets all the camera time, even when Greg is singing. Not fair!!
@@starletohara1631 ua-cam.com/video/C77f-GPzO6M/v-deo.html this video has the actual recording from the concert which shoes both greg and ron, and hasn’t been edited to only show colin.
@@rayceristau4748 The footage used in this video was the footage that was used in upstage monitor. That's why it is like it is. It was just for the people in the crowd to see from the distance
99% of the guitar part was played by Ron Strykert. The camera spent 99% of time on Colin Hay despite this song's main feature being excellent guitar by Ron and distinctive singing by Ham, and Speiser's drumming was esp good too.
I can't give enough thumbs up for this band and I definitely can't give enough thumbs down for the camera work! I LOVE this guitar work and he completely missed it! TERRIBLE!
Where are they now? Why do bands not sing about life any more. I mean they do, but it is a microscopic view. Men at Work sung about we all feel, have felt and may feel someday.
BENJAMIN SCISLY Well, they can't... Greg passed away. Ron Strykert and Colin Hay still don't see eye to eye, and John and Jerry are off doing their own thing...
I heard Ron sent Colin death threats about something. I think him and Jerry also used to clash. John seemed to be really quiet. Never heard much about him. Greg, I loved , bless him. He was the joker in the band, always came across as happy go lucky. Just such a shame what happened to him x
Where's the other video for the live music? It sounded better, had better definition, we could see Ron Strikert riffs and was funny to watch. Damn YT for their stupidity.
i was born texas but in my heart Australia i belong there America pretty cool but the outback the desert fresh air i 53 April i got ten more years usa i like retire perth Australia home to me i live hole in wall not bother no one peaceful person Australia my true home if i get to go old man big country to disappear in outback walkabout i got warned 1989 Europe by Australia new Zealanders leave America better too late than never i just want to disappear in Australia light i really never fit in America fresh air walkabout that teacher talk about mark sure like walkabout perth Australia good place to be me a human retire a whole in a wall enough to see one kangaroo done something as for snakes really don't scare me Texas full of them too lol.
I want to write without the guise of those who gave me the idea that writers were rich, drinkers, unhappy, etc..... I want to write something that will make people wake up and think for themselves, I want to see kids playing outside again, this should not be singularity, I believe in US, I believe you feel the same.
I'd really like to know what you Want to do, I'm interested in YOUR MIND. Perhaps, what you think, feel, do you like poetry, what is your idea on the renaissance? Not really, I am very interested to finding out why were are being fed so much crap and eating it up?!!
Greg ham was a very talented musician! Rest in peace! Great song!
I agree, unlike Colin Hay who is a hack.
Great guitar solo with no camera coverage
Greg Ham was definitely underrated. I wish there were more songs he had lead vocals in.
Yes, I know! I love all his songs. I'm glad he got some mileage on the "Two Hearts" album!
I agree with the comment about Ron Strykert - if you ever play guitar you realize how good his solo playing is on this song - fantastic!

I also always felt it was a pity that Greg Ham did not want to tour the US, so he missed some of the accolades he deserved. Loved his flute playing.
Yes, Ron is awesome! He does a really awesome solo on Overkill, too, which fades into Greg's sweet sax solo. It is pure magic 😍
@@ladysnowman5950 I think colin plays the solo on overkill
@@charlienorton2337 Wow, I didn't know that!
One of my favorite songs of theirs. So underrated.
RIP Greg Ham, his voice was too cool.

The drummer is killing it
Whoever the cameraman was on this should have been fired.
YES! But more the director who order him to stick on Hay.

I know, it sucks! It's giving me a headache.
This is the video that was used in the big monitor next to stage

Even colin was pointing at Ron during his solo to notify the cameraman that it wasnt even him playing
This camera was for Ron !!!!
I sure do miss these guys.
shanniworld me Too
Yeah, they were great....if you lived in the 80's as an adult, it was the best time to be alive.
FANTASTIC BAND.
Beautiful!
One of the best groups ever
Coolest band ever
Don't get me wrong I am pissed that the camera was on Greg for such a tiny amount of time but that unnecessarily long zoom in on Colin while he makes direct eye contact with the camera has me laughing my ass off
One of the greatest bands with one of the worst cameramen !
is that why it has under 100k views because of that then why are you threatning the camera man?
like if two cameras were operated at the same time on colins and ron then it would been great
Totally agree.
Hence why this video has 217 haters who disliked the camera work LOL!
yeah but it kinda was 1983
Habibasse and the audio quality is pretty bad. Songs great, we need a place for us people to congregate as fans
Consummate performer and so humourous.
This song taught me how to dance for five hours.
Yes, lately I've been putting MAW on while I work and I dance as I clean the kitchen ☺️
Deze band is geweldig. The Mann Down Under is mijn favoriete nummer
Una mega rola no me canso de escucharla desde que tenía 13 años
3 cuts every second then filming wrong guy during his solo? This is edited terribly

Camera guy was high on something...BTW love Men at Work
New wave music!!!
Greg Ham is singing!
2:58 when i wake up
This was filmed at the US Festival in 1983
The floor is aiming the camera at Greg Ham
Strykert is playing a great solo and the camera is on Colin. Greg is singing lead and the camera is on Colin. Speiser is playing some killer drum parts and only gets any screen time because Colin is standing in front of him.

You said it, Rob!😁
@@starletohara1631 Thanks, Starlet.
@@robf6105 Any time, Yogi!;-D
Wooo!
I'm guessing the camera man had never seen Hay's Wonky eye before.
Woo!
gee there was a awesome version of this song live on you tube and it looks like its gone now , wish i had a copy
Yeah, I've been waiting years to see if it will turn up.
Wow - I just found it: ua-cam.com/video/r5dldcN-jFw/v-deo.html
I always thought that Ron Strykert sang this song. According to the credits, he wrote the lyrics and music.
Well, he was the real guitarist... Colin Hay was nothing but a bser!
So did I. Never knew it was Greg.
I really like the profile picture 😅
Why did Greg and Ron get so little camera time here?This is clearly their moment to shine and they should have been allowed to have it!Love ya,Greg!

Do you love men at work, which all videos have a comment your kkk
Carol Stergen Of Course!
We need a new edit with Ron Strykert in the frame somewhere.... like maybe SOMEWHERE in the guitar solo????????
Found it: ua-cam.com/video/r5dldcN-jFw/v-deo.html

Why are they filming Colin, when Greg is singing? This doesn't make any sense at all.
It was kind of irritating that the camera stayed on Colin during Ron's solo.
dresdfffffddd Strykert should have gotten the spotlight during his solo... Greg barely even got any camera while he was singing.
And the whole time Ham was singing!
VERY irritating. Idiot cameraman ruins the whole thing.
Dire straits
Especially being that Ron wrote it, as well.
Director of TV went for a coffee
Ron and Greg got minimal attention by the camera :/
Found it you legends - Strykert on camera, in Hamburg, enjoy it you fans: Men At Work - I Like To [live in Hamburg, Germany 12-2-82] - UA-cam
Greg Ham's singing: 1 min
Guitar solo: 3 mins
Colin's Camera focusing: 3:30 mins

Those 80's flashing lights LOL @Horrorman_282!
🔝🔝🔝
can't get any volume on this vid ! great stuff though . Old South Wales UK.
My fav song by them but wow what a bad job by the camera person
This reminds me of XTC
I can't give enough thumbs up for this band and I definitely can't give enough thumbs down for the camera work! I LOVE this guitar work and he completely missed it! TERRIBLE!

Colin Hay is fantastic but the camera really should've been on Jerry, Greg and Ron for the most part
The camera had to stand on the soil of Ron
Mikeyas Costa The camera stayed on Colin because he was the main one of the band
Ron Strykert is that really you?
Mikeyas Costa I Aldo found it estrange, the camera had to have focused the Ron.
WOW hey don't want to creep you out but what band did you play after you left men at work or were you doing a solo like colin did, i'm just wondering.
well that's great i didn't know that, good i hope your solo music is not bad i'll fine your music where ever it is.
He went to Canada
Omg i lost the solo.😠
phwarrrrr this could give epilepsy to non epileptic
Have Colin and Danny Elfman ever worked together? I would love their voices together.
And damnnn, Colin is strummin and fingerpicking at the same time.
Shoot the cameraman.
computer games in antarctica.
Colin hay is big
Camera Man fail :/ , best solo ¡¡
Still missing Colin Hay. :'-(
shame they will never reform

It was always about Colin
@@fanfanackapan I think Jerry really regrets not continuing with the band as he said in an interview for where are they now in 1995
First :)
They put the camera on the wrong guy!!
The funny thing is he was JUST asking me what I wanted to do?! I make everything complicated, that's my spirit and REALITY.
ik vind het een zeer matige audio
Zeur niet
Camera should have been on town or greg not colin poor camera work
the guitarist is doing a fucked up solo and the cinematographer shoots Colin Hay doing clowning
Why is this so poorly recorded/edited?
A scary knucklehead at 02:55
Pille Palle Ithink he was looking at some girl on the side
