At 1:36 Freddie and Roger start with the "ahhhs" but it's at 1:45 when Brian adds another harmony that you get that classic Queen vocal texture. Loved it
If you wanna be exact the harmony builds because Brian starts singing but also because Freddie stops singing the melody an octave under roger and starts harmonizing instead. But I'm just being nitpicky 😅😁
The most amazing thing about this performance is Roger's falsetto harmony in the middle 8. When it turns out the drummer in the band can pull off a note like that, everyone else may as well give up.
This video makes me so happy! Fred seems so relaxed Brian looks all proud like aww his song Roger's voice is amazing especially cause it's LIVE okay they don't show John enough but he's keeping them all together!
@@edgarferrer8084 I don't think so. this was never official released as a concert, so I doubt the overdub was recorded at the time. and roger last his falsetto just a few years later, so I doubt they would have been able to overdub it.
Freddie and Roger's falsettos are killing me. Plus I don't understand why people say this song is better when sung by Brain. Both Freddie and Brian present different versions of this song. Brian's is a sad and smooth version. Freddie has a energetic and repenting version.
Lyrics for all Queen Fans: In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers In the days when lands were few Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn The sweetest sight ever seen And the night followed day And the story tellers say That the score brave souls inside For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand For the day I take your hand In the land that our grandchildren knew In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue The volunteers came home that day And they bring good news of a world so newly born Though their hearts so heavily weigh For the earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away But my love this cannot be For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand In the land that our grandchildren knew Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand For my life Still ahead Pity me
Hey, I'm 62. I heard this song on SiriusXM Deep Tracks. I was quickly taken by it. Perhaps I'd loved the song once before. But I never knew that this song is way over 40 years old. Oh to have seen them live in the 70s.
I love how at the end of the initial part he plays something along the lines of love of my life and then goes, "this has nothing to do with the next song" and then just blasts off!!
Last week I told my smart speaker to play songs of queen - and it played '39. I knew that song and have heard it so many times; but I didn't know it was Queen. Great song and great voice of Brian - but also I like Freddie's version 😍
I still have a colour photograph of Queen performing '39 at the front of the stage at Glasgow's Apollo Theatre in 1977 (and during their '79 tour when they came back to the Apollo!)
Never have I heard Queen singing that good. '39 is an outstanding song, no doubt, but the performance of that song in this video is a class of its own. Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.)
Rogers smile & grin from 2:06…. how his smile reminds me of a little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar…. oh my 47 years since then & he still makes me…. 🤤 wish I was that cookie jar!

I love how right after Brian introduces the song Freddie just appears out of thin air

@@justinnamuco9096 We didn't see Freddie at first because he was The Invisible Man.

OH MY GOSH ROGER’S FALSETTO HARMONIES!
Killer Queen yeah I know for someone who’s about 27-28 years old that’s pretty damn good
Killer Queen.....yeah the harmonies are amazing. Roger was awesome! What magic they all made together!
P Walsh They had a Kind of Magic when they were together.
He hit the falsettos in Bohemian Rhapsody! He’s amazing!!!
brian "'this is "39!!"
freddie: just fucking appears
Freddie Magic
You know
It's a kind of magic

Brian's voice is warm and smooth, like cognac and velvet.
What if john deacon too?
If it happens
My ears will be healed
Deaf people can listen to this
John just standing watching his bros singing together

Queen is the reason why my standards in liking a rock band is high 😂 Queen is the absolute standard!💙
I'm horrified and disturbed by the fact that I'm 42 years old, and I'm hearing this ridiculously awesome song for the very first time today.
44 here and only heard this song for the first time a week ago
Beatiful
Heard it the first time right before I turned 46. Instantly became a favourite.
45 yrs old here. First time today.
43 years old and heard it for the first time 3 days ago, and can't stop listening to it...
Brian: "If you want to sing along, and jump up, please do.
RoGeR: S I N G A L O N G !
Other night
It is Brian's song to begin with. He refuses to sing anything but backing vocals live. However. It is Brian doing lead vocals on the studio track.
@@KelliViti the lyrics are something a physicist or science fiction author would come up with. It IS a lovely song though
@@morrisheinersz2005 absolutely!!!! Major cookie for thought.... Wish it were included in the beginning Or maybe the end credits of Interstellar.
Mercury’s voice is astounding, but I actually like it more when May sings this song.
Absolutely agree, it’s May’s song
@@camronalley4483 it's queen's song
@@user-bb7mp6wk2e yes, but May wrote it, and his softer voice fits the song better, although I still like it when Freddie sang it
Cant agree with you more!!
В этом и заключается неповторимость концерта, когда на альбоме поёт один исполнитель, а на концерте они меняются❤❤❤
2:06 oh Roger 😍
😍🥰😍
Our silly bean :P

chris4072511 like a comment i read on another queen video, you know the band is good when the drumer sings better than the average singer
Hi I am Roger and I play drums .. Yeah Yeah son .. Oh and I can hit THIS note ...... HIIIIIIIIIII AHHHHHH (dogs are barking in Croatia)
Is that a B that Roger hits?
I hate to tell you this but it was pitch corrected to sound like he hit the note but in reality he didn’t😕
@@coc12345 don't tell me then. Either way, Roger's live harmonies were a real bonus
Those puppy eyes at 0:59 are just PRECIOUS
you know he atleast 50 years older than you right
@@mayyonaise6946 and?
He was so pretty then... and he still has the same sweet smile.
@mayyonaise6946 Nobody cares 😍🤚
Deaky come out of the shadows or do we have to bribe you out with cheese on toast
1:25
My man Roger singing, drumming the beat with his foot, and sporting the tambourine.
If nostalgia had a sound, I think it would be this.
Freddie will forever be my favorite, but 2:06 is awesome.
I’m sure he locked eyes with Bri at this exact moment
Roger and Fred: The dynamic duo
Love the Roger's smile 2:06 😊
This video makes me so happy!
Fred seems so relaxed
Brian looks all proud like aww his song
Roger's voice is amazing especially cause it's LIVE
okay they don't show John enough but he's keeping them all together!
I love how the lights fade on Freddie, Roger and John and leaves Brian playing the outro. Great atmosphere.
Then Freddie appears from nowhere again
what happened to that checkerboard suit? Is it still in the closet at Logan Place?
1:37 - 2:06 = Precious!
Roger falsetto is amazing in this concert
And the harmony Is priceless 😍
And that expression Of Rog 😍😍😍
It was overdubbed.
@@edgarferrer8084 live? In 1977? No it wasn't.
@@edgarferrer8084 I don't think so. this was never official released as a concert, so I doubt the overdub was recorded at the time. and roger last his falsetto just a few years later, so I doubt they would have been able to overdub it.
it's overdubs and remixes of queen as a bonus track Album a night at the Opera
Roger u so dreamy!
God I don't think I ever saw Brian may look nervous before. Bless him!
I know it’s cute seeing em nervous. Not John tho, he’s always been shy
That's funny I thought he looked a little nervous too
I think that was because that was the one of the earliest performances of '39 on tour.
I just thought he was sexier here than other videos.
Roger's falsetto is amazing!
2:06 is so damn cute 🥰
roger's falsetto always has me on choke hold ugh and his smile after what he just did ended my life 2:06
4 angels sent down from heaven😪
Anyone else getting goosebumps and tears?
19 July 2019....happy birthday Brian, thanks for 39
Wih ada orang indo ternyata
19 July 2024...Happy birthday Brian
Phenomenal backing vocal courtesy of Roger Meddows-Taylor.
Awww they look like theyre having such a great time. Roger got one of the most beautiful smile ive ever seen! Damn i miss Fred so much...
they sound damn fantastic
Best live version of 39 on the Internet.
Freddie and Roger's falsettos are killing me. Plus I don't understand why people say this song is better when sung by Brain. Both Freddie and Brian present different versions of this song. Brian's is a sad and smooth version. Freddie has a energetic and repenting version.
"Repenting"...It's not even a song about repentance. And it's MEANT to be sad and smooth. That's how Brian wrote it. So yes, his is better.
@@grabble7605 i agree
i think which version is subjective to the type of music you like, both are great nonetheless!
I,agree with you. Two unique but different voices presenting their own version of this magic song. One cannot make comparisons
My God! Roger's high notes never fail to blow me away!! Especially live!
I was born in that year..1977 ,,and today is the first time I watch this video 😭 and Roger's smile is the cutest smile ever 😍
1:58 UTTER MAGIC amongst geniuses !
Queen/Freddy are a gift from another place.
In the land that our grandchildren knew !
You can not ask for more in a song.
First time ever hearing this. I am blown away. I don't why I am surprised by being blown away. It is Queen after all.
Lyrics for all Queen Fans:
In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
Pity me
Thank youu
Foolish of you to assume I haven't memorized every queen song in existence
I don't understand why many people complain about Brian didn't sang the song but Freddie. He did it so well!
OMG me, as the "biggest fan", how come I did not hear this ever before. What a version.
2023- Dr. Brian Harold May is now, Sir Brian Harold May after finally being knighted by King Charles. Congratulations, Bri.
He needs the highest honour the country can bestow , he should be CH (Companion of Honour)
Childhood memories, my primary school teacher always played this song on his guitar during the music class and we sang along. Good old times 😊
Hey, I'm 62. I heard this song on SiriusXM Deep Tracks. I was quickly taken by it. Perhaps I'd loved the song once before. But I never knew that this song is way over 40 years old. Oh to have seen them live in the 70s.
From Australia and 75yrs have been a fan for 45yrs. I saw Queen 14 September 1976 Hyde park London. Incredible.
This is one of those extraordinarily odd songs in which Freddie's voice didn't quite fit in. '39 was made to be sung by Brian and only Brian.
Yea, I agree with that. Kinda nuts to think, but yea.
Actually Lau, you have a point! Have long thought that Brian sang (sings) it better than Freddie... Go figure!
Nah! Freedie's voice fits it perfectly.
This performance was nothing but amazing.
Amen.
@@waysidetavern fuck off, bcs you hate asian people
I love how at the end of the initial part he plays something along the lines of love of my life and then goes, "this has nothing to do with the next song" and then just blasts off!!
wow, the harmony in fred mercury's voice is impeccable. the dude has the best vocal pitch.
FREDDIE I MISS YOU SO MUCH YOU LEGEND:'(((((
Although Freddie still sounds great singing 39, Brian's voice and style of singing suits the song better.
One of Brian's best songs! Unbelievabale..
I adore this often forgotten song!!!
This inspired me way back in the 70's... Who could forget this great "May" song.. Exceptional.
i love roger taylor
Freddie's voice is beyond amazing on this take! Ladies and gentleman- Dr. Brian May
Brian's eyes look like beautiful shiny marbles here 😍🥹
Last week I told my smart speaker to play songs of queen - and it played '39. I knew that song and have heard it so many times; but I didn't know it was Queen. Great song and great voice of Brian - but also I like Freddie's version 😍
This is my favorite song. I don't speak much English. Here everything is clear. Bravo Brian!
best performance of this song, no doubt
I still have a colour photograph of Queen performing '39 at the front of the stage at Glasgow's Apollo Theatre in 1977 (and during their '79 tour when they came back to the Apollo!)
Oh my god that's awesome! Do you have it scanned? Did you record either show on tape?
Anything Freddie sings turned into magic!! Love this performance of 39!!
Brian seems like "omg that's my song...damn what I have to do?"
He is so shy and that's breaks my heart in some sense
Wow, Roger Taylor's voice can really get up there!
Because it was overdubbed.
@@edgarferrer8084 Roger regularly hit these notes at gigs, in part to prove that it was him on studio recordings. He had an incredible falsetto.
@@edgarferrer8084 not live in 1977 it wasn't. Go home.
One of my alltime favorite Queen songs. Love it
roger's falsetto always makes the songs perfect and complete
I was there (both dates) both rank up there in queen performances 😊
Oh my goooosh those harmonies are so freaking beautiful
Never have I heard Queen singing that good. '39 is an outstanding song, no doubt, but the performance of that song in this video is a class of its own. Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.)
Still influential, still amazing, and Freddie; still missed.
Me encanta la sonrisa de Roger con Brian, los adoro ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I watched Interstellar in 2014 and the story reminded me something I had heard before....
Brilliant team. We'll never find them again.
I have loved this song my whole life and will continue forever.
Those harmonies though! ❤
The harmony
Beautiful harmony man.
Да, их слушать можно вечно! Они не надоедают! Всё у них продумано до мелочей!
абсолютно согласна :) Квин проделывали шикарную работу, чтоб песни получались идеально отточенными.
@@emerald_dream Хоть один комментарий на русском.
Queen is amazing just amazing
This is a great son, different than others, but most of the times forgotten
I saw roger with the sas band few years ago .he is a brilliant vocalist. Sang radio ga ga. Was brilliant.
i love you freddie ❤️
Rogers smile & grin from 2:06…. how his smile reminds me of a little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar…. oh my 47 years since then & he still makes me…. 🤤 wish I was that cookie jar!
Words cannot convey how much I love this song.
I saw Queen in concert in '76 or '77, but ever since that, after hearing 39, it's been one of my very favorite songs.
Incredible! Do you have any memorabilia from it?
Ive only heard brian sing this .great to hear freddie singing it.
Roggerio parece un angelito recién caido del cielo
One of my favorite Queen songs!
freddie keeps just appearing out of nowhere i love it
0:58 omg

One of the most beautiful songs ever made
Очень дорого безумие то что оставил слезы текут Великий Человек Сильный и Мощный Мир так любил и Людей это была его Миссия
39 performed anywhere is great
