  By the time of the live performance at the BeachLife Festival on May 5, 2019, Colin Hay, the lead vocalist of Men at Work, had established a successful solo career after the band's initial rise to fame in the early 1980s. Prior to this performance, Men at Work's last studio album, "Contraband," was released in 1996, but the group had not been active as a band since the late 1980s. Interestingly, Hay's enduring appeal is highlighted in this performance, where he revisited beloved hits like "Who Can It Be Now?" and "It's a Mistake." The inclusion of an AC/DC cover showcases Hay's versatility and willingness to blend his own legacy with the broader rock heritage of Australia. His solo performances have not only kept the spirit of Men at Work alive but have also opened new avenues for artistic expression. Hay's connection with the audience at such festivals remains a testament to his lasting impact on both fans and the music scene.

  In the live recording from October 6, 2019, where Colin Hay performed "Down Under" alongside Cecilia Noel & Friends at the Topanga Canyon Community Music Fest, Hay was revisiting his roots as a prominent figure of Men at Work. Prior to this performance, Men at Work had released their notable debut album, "Business as Usual" in 1981, which catapulted them to international fame with hits like "Down Under." Colin Hay, as the lead vocalist and guitarist during the band's heyday, continued to keep their legacy alive through his solo endeavors after the group's dissolution. This performance is particularly interesting as it highlights the continued relevance of Men at Work's music, as well as Hay's active involvement in charity events supporting the arts. It demonstrates Hay's connection to both his musical heritage and the ongoing appreciation for that era's music among audiences today.
