Men at Work

In May 1983, Men at Work performed live at the US Festival, shortly after releasing their second studio album, "Cargo," in April of that year. This album followed their hugely successful debut, "Business as Usual," which had catapulted them to international fame, largely due to hit singles like "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now?" "Cargo" included the song "Overkill," which they performed during this pivotal live recording. The performance at the US Festival showcased the band's popularity in the U.S. and highlighted their energetic stage presence. Despite facing stiff competition from a lineup of prominent artists, Men at Work enjoyed significant visibility during this festival, helping to solidify their status in the music scene during the early '80s. Interestingly, their songs often fused elements of rock with reggae, reflecting the diverse influences that contributed to their distinctive sound.
