      It's as if I was I was zapped back to 1981, 10 years old and dancing around in the living room and lip syncing to Land Down Under. His voice is impeccable and still sends shivers down my back. He is just one of those who has a mesmerizing voice that is distinct. It really takes me back to a good place with wonderful memories.

    Colin is one of the most underrated songwriters and musicians of his generation. The Men at Work records have remained some of my favorites since 1982, and his solo work of the last couple decades is amazing in a totally different way. Can’t wait to see him live again in August!

    I love when Colin revisits the Men at Work days. I remember air-drumming to "Business As Usual" and "Cargo" as a 12-year old boy and singing along with Colin. It's amazing how good he still sounds after all these years. His newer backing band ain't bad either.

      The Kermit the Frog outfit is dramatic along with the dancing. She is always on correct pitch, never over powering. I like her percussion, especially the wood sticks (on another video). I love this band. Perfectly mixed. 3 Cubans, a Peruvian, a Guatemalan, and Colin. Opportunities abound for a lot of great Latin dancing rhythms. Explore it more often, Colin. The audience will enjoy dancing to the music.

    Excellent in every respect and of course so many thanks to Colin and his band for performing on UA-cam! Going back a few years Men at Work and Huang (later Wang) Chung were seen by some as poor relations to The Police probably because of the high pitch vocals and the use of chorus on guitars, but this was always unfair, as is shown by these Men at Work Mondays. If you have time Colin I would like to ask you about the guitar you are using - is the Tele rosewood? Looks like a Bigsby with a mini humbucker at the neck. My dream guitar would be like yours, but with a sustainer p/u between the bridge and neck, a straight through neck and coil splitting on the mini humbucker. I can only dream!!! Here's to many more Men at Work Mondays :)
