Men at Work

In January 1983, when the live recording of "Overkill" was performed, Men at Work was at a significant peak in their career, following the massive success of their debut album, "Business as Usual," which had been released in November 1981. This album not only topped the charts in several countries but also featured hit singles like "Who Can It Be Now?" and the iconic "Down Under." The band's distinctive sound, blending rock and reggae influences, resonated widely, establishing them as a leading force in the early 1980s music scene. "Overkill" would later appear on their second studio album, "Cargo," released in 1983. The live performance underscores the band's growing popularity at the time, showcasing their energetic stage presence and the strong fan reception they enjoyed during this period. This momentum would ultimately lead to their continued success in subsequent years.
