June 5th, 1982. QUEEN take the stage at England’s Milton Keynes Bowl, as part of the Hot Space Tour. Magic ensues. On May 21st, 2013, Eagle Rock Entertainment will re-issue Queen On Fire: Live At The Bowl on 2DVD and Digital Video.

In 1982, Queen (Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon) was, truly, on fire, playing more than 60 sell-out concerts in the world’s biggest arenas. Of course, the members of Queen were masters of arena rock, a craft they put to good use when they came to play this giant outdoor venue, as captured on Queen On Fire: Live At The Bowl.

170 minutes deep, this two-disc set has been extensively restored from the original sound and footage. Disc 1 presents the performance in its entirety, filmed by Gavin Taylor. 'Flash', 'Somebody To Love', 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'We Are The Champions', and two versions of 'We Will Rock You' are just part of the electrifying set list.

Disc 2 features a wealth of bonus material, including interviews, a photo gallery, and bonus performances at Tokyo’s Seibu Stadium (November 3rd, 1982) and Vienna’s Stadthalle (May 12th, 1982). The interviews encompassed are a behind-the-scenes look at Milton Keynes as the crew preps the massive stage show, a chat with Freddie Mercury in Munich on during the European leg of the Hot Space tour, and an interview with Brian May and Roger Taylor.

With over three hours of material, On Fire: Live At The Bowl promises to set Queen fans ablaze.
