This week’s episode of Queen The Greatest Live takes fans back over 40 years as the official YouTube documentary series continues to explore the band’s epic opening numbers. In new interviews from previous weeks, both Sir Brian May and Roger Taylor shared how the combination of building anticipation in the audience and then surprising them with a spectacular first song is vital to a Queen show. Today’s video perfectly shows this when the band performed at the Milton Keynes Bowl on June 5, 1982.
This week’s concert footage is part of Queen On Fire – Live At The Bowl, which was released on DVD/CD in 2004. The Milton Keynes show took place on a perfect summer’s day; a rare opportunity for the band.
Freddie told the audience during the performance: “It’s not very often that we do shows in daylight. I wish we had done it sooner, I can see you all now! And there are some beauties here tonight…”
Next week’s episode of Queen the Greatest Live is called One Vision.
