Colin Hay - vocals, guitar Ron Strykert - lead guitar John Rees - bass Greg Ham - sax, flute, keyboards Jerry Speiser - drums One of the more successful New Wave groups to come out of the early '80s and embrace the embryonic MTV, Men at Work had two or three years of massive global success before falling apart in 1985 when their popularity began to wane. Started as an acoustic duo in Australia in 1979 by Colin Hay and Ron Strykert, Men at Work became a quintet in 1980 when they decided to go electric. With the Police and the popular reggae movement obvious big influences, Men at Work was signed by Columbia Records in their native Australia in 1981. They saw immediate chart success at home and in Europe with songs like "Who Can It Be Now?" and "Down Under." By the time the record was picked up by Columbia's stateside label, MTV was in full throttle mode, and Men at Work's quirky, humorous videos were just what the doctor ordered. The debut LP went to #1 and broke records all year long. The group was even awarded a Grammy for Best New Act in 1982. But the success was short-lived. 1983's Cargo carried some of the momentum from the previous disc, but faded after a few months on the charts. The group released a few more LPs but their popularity decreased dramatically after 1984. Only Colin Hay continued on as a solo artist, but his two solo albums went unnoticed. In 2003, Hay was recruited by Ringo Starr to be a member of Ringo Starr & His All Starr band. The trek through America renewed interest in Hay's songs with Men at Work. The group reformed with only Hay and Ham from the original lineup in 2000, and today they continue to record and tour in between solo projects from Hay. This recording, made at New York's legendary Pep Lounge, was done on the band's first US tour, and captured for the King Biscuit Flower Hour, who aired it the fall of 1982. It remains one of the best live recordings of Men at Work during its heyday. Among the highlights are "I Can See It In Your Eyes," "Touching The Untouchables," "Down Under," "Underground," and "Who Can It Be Now?"

Plagijat - grupa Men at Work pokrala dijelove dječje pjesmice Veliki hit Down under australske skupine Men at Work sadrži dijelove stare pjesmice za djecu Australska skupina Men at Work morat će platiti pet posto prihoda od autorskih prava na svoj hit Down Under iz 1980. godine tvrtki Larrikin Music koja ima prava na dječju pjesmu iz koje su bez odobrenja kopirali neke dijelove, presudio je sud u Sydneyu. EMI Songs Australija te autori hita Down Under, Colin Hay i Ron Strykert, moraju ubuduće plaćati pet posto od zarade na toj pjesmi a u odštetu je uračunato i razdoblje od 2005. godine, od kada Larrikin Music ima prava na pjesmicu "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" koju je 1934. napisala učiteljica Marion Sinclair. Odšteta je manja od zahtjeva Larrikin Musica koji je tražio 60 posto prihoda od pjesme, ali je sudac Peter Jacobson taj zahtjev nazvao neumjerenim. Down Under je jedna od najpopularnijih pjesama u Australiji od koje je skupina Men at Work zaradila milijune dolara.
