Queen Deep Dive: In the year of "'39"

Brian's ode to astronomy, space travel, relativity, and nostalgia is a rich soundscape of acoustic guitars, and more acoustic guitars. In a surprising twist, "'39" features muted and softened electric guitars, minimal percussion, and a double bass (courtesy of John and his persistence). But this folk number is still distinctly Queen, with intricate vocal harmonies. It's one of my favorite live numbers from the boys.
