Queen Live at Milton Keynes Performing Pre-Concert Footage

Venue: Milton Keynes National Bowl Location: Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom Date: June 5, 1982

Queen was riding a wave of monumental success around the time of their live recording at the Milton Keynes National Bowl on June 5, 1982. This performance came shortly after they released their album *Hot Space* in May of the same year. Although *Hot Space* received mixed reviews—some fans were taken aback by its shift towards a more disco-influenced sound—tracks like “Under Pressure,” their iconic collaboration with David Bowie, marked a high point of their inventive journey. How cool is it that they were taking creative risks at such a pivotal moment? The Milton Keynes concert itself is particularly notable because it showcased Queen's unmatched energy and theatrical flair, delivering a live experience that further solidified their legendary status. Interestingly, this performance was included in a Channel 4 broadcast titled *The Tube* on January 7, 1983, providing fans a glimpse into their electrifying stage presence. Talk about an unforgettable night!
