Review : This is a pre-FM source of Westwood One's FM broadcast of the Superstars Concert Series. There was some discussion whether this was from Dayton 1983 or from Akron 1982. Before the 2nd tune they say, "Akron...Akron...we're called Men At Work, we're from Australia." That pretty much nails the fact that they were playing in Akron, OH. This originates from that Westwood One "SuperStar Concert Series" radio station transcription vinyl...one can hear the vinyl if you listen pretty good. In 2019 this concert was available on the bootleg "Hard Labour", released on the Shockwaves label and was mentioned on the lead singer's website.

Review (Colin Hay) : A new Men at Work bootleg came up at the music apps on February 1st, entitled “Hard Labour”, it brings a full show recorded in Akron, Ohio in 1982. It has 17 tracks, mostly songs from the album “Business as Usual” and some from “Cargo”, also some b-sides like “F-19” and “Shintaro”, and the unreleased “Mr. Entertainer”. You can listen to the new bootleg at Spotify, Deezer and other music apps.
