"If you're going to do something like this, this is where to do it": Watch Billy Idol play Rebel Yell live at the top of the Empire State Building

Billy Idol has celebrated the 40th anniversary of the release of his breakthrough Rebel Yell album by performing an acoustic version of the title track while tethered to a narrow 103rd floor balcony near the top of New York's iconic Empire State Building. 

The 103rd floor was originally built as a disembarkation point for passengers of airships tethered to the Empire State's spire, and is not open to the public. Idol was joined for the historic shoot, which took place in April, by longtime guitarist Steve Stevens.
