'Queen The Greatest Live' episode 10 highlights classic “Tie Your Mother Down” performance

Queen is back with episode 10 of their YouTube series Queen The Greatest Live, this time focusing on a classic performance of their iconic track "Tie Your Mother Down."

Continuing last week’s look at the importance of lighting, this week’s episode features a performance of the 1976 track at the band’s famous concert at Milton Keynes Bowl in June 1982.

At the time of the show, Milton Keynes Bowl was one of the U.K.'s largest open-air venues, which had the band a bit concerned. "It's a big field," Roger Taylor says in a backstage interview. "I hope it goes well." Brian May adds, "Outdoor gigs are fraught with all kind of unexpected things."

The Milton Keynes Bowl show turned out to be a classic Queen concert, with Queen On Fire: Live At The Bowl, a DVD and CD of the concert, released in 2004.
