Brazil (Men at Work album)
Brazil is a live album by Australian band Men at Work, released in 1998. This album was recorded at a live show in Brazil, hence the title. It was first released there as Brazil '96, but for the international release, the year was removed and a new studio recording, "The Longest Night", was added.

In their retrospective review, Allmusic wrote that: "The new members sound almost identical to the originals, and with a stellar set list composed almost entirely of classic material, it's nearly impossible to hear the difference between the Men at Work lineups of 1996 and 1983."[1]
