queen'in en gaz parçalarından birisi. kimisine göre en gazı. canlı sergiledikleri performanslarda şarkının etkisi ona, yüze katlanır. genelde queen konserlerinde giriş parçasıdır. albüm hali yerine konser kaydı dinlerseniz ne demek istediğimi anlayabilirsiniz. en iyi performanslardan birisi de rock at montreal performansıdır.

queen'in live at wembley efsanesinin üzerine çok az canlı performansı var ve rock at montreal'deki tie your mother down performansları da bunlardan birisi. şiddetle tavsiye edilir.
