Men At Work performing at the Oz For Africa festival, in July 13th, 1985, part of the Live Aid events in Australia. The band played Maria (featuring Renée Geyer), Overkill and The Longest Night. #menatwork #colinhay #liveaid
Weird seeing Chad Wackermann drumming for Men At Work. And disappointing to see one of the session guys playing the guitar solo in 'Overkill' instead of Colin Hay, it was his best! Always wondered why 'The Longest Night' wasn't on the final forgotten album 'Two Hearts', as it's stronger & has stood the test of time far better than the songs featured on that album, though 'Still Life' is still a beautiful & haunting work. It was tragic the original band couldn't go the distance. Their trajectory was phenomenal, no other Australian act has been as successful then imploded as quickly. First debut album with 2 number 1 singles. My first ever concert as a child was Renee Geyer, as my uncles' band supported her at a local music festival. Vale Greg Ham RIP
When Chad Wackermann made a meal out of Overkill , that was the end of my Men At Work days,, I would have loved seeing Ron play the guitar solo in 'Overkill back in the day , yeah it was odd session guy is playing it
